I thought it best to begin a NEW thread for our currently being planned October/November 2020 Trip.

Woo hoo another trip. Hopping over from the secret squirrel trip report . I made my DH go with me for my 50th a couple years ago and had a blast . There were evening extra magic hours the day before my birthday so I made sure I was there at midnight . I wanted to turn 50 at MK. Sadly , your DH won’t be able to that with no extra hours now . I am going solo end of Nov. beginning of December this year. I have been before Thanksgiving but never after so looking forward to the Festival of the Holidays .
Different subject - have you been playing any tennis ? We just finished one leagues season and started the other one this week. This league we have to play a 10 pt tie breaker for the 3rd set . Last season , we got to choose.
Glad you’re planning Il Mulino again-this time go lol!
Have my 50th planned for Feb
So fun! I love your plans......there is no better way to celebrate turning 50 than being at Disney! My DH gave me a 4 night trip for my 50th 4 years ago and it was the best thing ever! That trip started my love of solo trips which are my favourite thing ever!
Wow you are playing a lot ! That’s awesome. One USTA league , my team was invited to State but that got canceled ( May ) . Playoffs for summer had less teams advance this season so it wouldn’t last as long . Fingers crossed the fall season is able to continue.Yeah! I was planning a return for *MY* 50th which coincides almost with Magic Kingdom's 50th...so that is still my plan but that's another 2 years away. We have some good plans for his birthday so far at least. Ah the parks are so lovely around the holidays, we have done Thanksgiving week every other year for many years...and did early December last year which was fine. So sad that the Candlelight Processional won't be happening this year though.
Yes I've played a lot of tennis, but most of it has been recreational since March. They cancelled all of our spring and summer leagues, so we finished up a USTA Mixed league match and then we were done...no regional tournament for that, no advancement beyond that. I ended up organizing my own group of about 30 ladies for doubles play, so I have a schedule and people sign up and just show up on the courts and we play ladies doubles for fun...this has been happening since March and worked out well. I also have another group I play with for fun...all ladies. Then our local tennis group has tennis ladders...I've joined the singles and mixed doubles ladder and for a while I had made my way to the top of the singles ladder...but I've dropped to 3 now with a few losses recently. For mixed I have a partner and we play about once a week as well, also very competitive. For the ladder matches we have been doing a FULL 3rd set (no tiebreakers) which has made those matches quite interesting...I've played a lot of full 3rd set matches!
So I was really looking forward to this, then I read some recent reviews and they made me wonder if we shouldn't reconsider this plan. I know you love this place, so we may still keep it...only time will tell. With the way I am with ADRs though....you never know.
I totally agree...just don't think that was the celebration DH had in mind but this is his idea. I do enjoy solo trips, or trips with just the girls or just one of my kids as well, so I get it!

I am sure you’ll make the best of your DH’s birthday trip ! Can’t wait to read about it .
I'm here and excited to read along. Your plans look great and I agree with EPCOT being the park most likely able to handle the larger crowds. At least you've been once and know what to expect. Sounds like a great way to celebrate being 50
Have you contacted DVCstore.com? They have a variety of options at $14 per point if you book prior to December 20th. A couple of days ago I was able to book a 2 Bdrm dedicated villa for four nights at Animal Kingdom Lodge Kidani Village, Savannah View, for $14 per point. After taxes, we are paying less than $600 per night, which is a big savings over paying cash through Disney for $1150 per night plus tax.Considering renting DVC points for the last two nights of our reservation to save some money. Looking at that now and using the DVC Rent/Trade board here which I haven't used in many years.
1971 but also February! Have my birthday Disney trip all set!Another 1970 baby following along!! My 50th was in February

Another 1970 baby following along!! My 50th was in February and DD turned 21 in June. We had a trip planned for August, which we moved to December. DH is the one in our family that wants nothing to do with the trip. He was going to grudgingly tag along, but we did a consolation beach trip for August, so he is going to stay home and it will be just girls trip.
I just changed around some breakfasts yesterday for our trip next week lol it never ends! But that's the fun of it
Not worried about crowds. Especially for my "work" I'm thrilled that more people are going and we'll adjust a bit to go earlier than we did in July. And in normal times we always end up there during holidays with crowds so it won't be different!
1971 but also February! Have my birthday Disney trip all set!
