We're heading back to WDW!  We debated on whether or not to make the trip for this holiday season...and then my husband and I decided that we only have 4 more years left with all the kids at home, so there is no time like the present.  :) 

We're traveling mid-December.  Later than we usually go in December, but Pop Warner is the week before, which meant more crowds and no discounts on rooms.  Besides that, these are the final days before the winter break at school, and the kids won't miss much (other than parties).

We did get a discounted rate on connecting rooms, and we decided to try POFQ this time.  Something different, and it looks nice.  Good rates on Airtran...about $200 each, round trip, including everything (fees, luggage, picking our seats, etc.).

MVMCP on December 15th.  We fly into Orlando late morning, so we'll be fine to head to MK at 4 pm.

Not sure if we'll make any ADRs this time.  We're cutting it close anyway....but I'll have to ask the kids what they think. 

If anyone has helpful tips about POFQ, I'm all ears.  I have been looking a bit online but really don't know much about that resort.

I really like French Quarter, a lot better than it's sister resort, Riverside. The theme is so fun and it's very clean and upbeat. I love the ferry to Downtown Disney, and the pool is superfun as well, but you can never tell whether or not December will be swim-able or not. Last year we were swimming on Christmas, you just never know, so pack your suits just in case! We just did the Halloween weekend and had a blast! The decorations are so fun during the holidays. We are going back right after Thanksgiving for a day or two. Have fun!!!

Woohoo!  How exciting!!!  I keep hoping something like that will magically come together for us, but not so.  At least not yet.   :)
