Yes folks, it's early....but I just got back from our 2016 family trip yesterday and I'm ready to start planning next years trip!!!

We are planning mid to late August and are planning to stay Poly CL!!! :yay:

We have done August before, but the crowds are usually decent towards the end of August even though it's hotter than Hades.:scared:

We are a family of 5. DH, myself, our two DD's (will be 13 and 10 at time of travel) and DS (will be 2.5 yrs old at time of travel).

Who's coming with me?? Let's plan for our August trips together!! :)

Please! BE MY GUEST!!!

Yay!!! I'll join!

We go every year in August. We love it!

Looking at August 2nd through 13th.

Undecided on a resort --- looking at either a Lion King Suite at AOA or a garden view room at the Beach Club.

We just stayed at a Nemo suite last week and it was awesome!!! But we also love the Beach Club too - tough decision!

I am now toying with the idea of having our 1st few nights at AKL (before our DS turns 3 and we "outgrow" the rooms there), prior to starting our Poly stay. Good thing I have lots of time to think about it!
 
We are 75% sure we are going in August 2017.. once packages are out we are booking but we will likely have to move our dates around based on my teens baseball team..all depends on their post season success..or lack of we shall see..lol.. will be 5 of us and either 2 rooms at a value or one at a mod/deluxe depending on discounts..we will likely be booking the 2 at a value to start and make changes as needed!

Our dates are pretty fluid too. I'm hoping for 8/20-8/30 but it will all depend on the school calendar. Usually they don't go back until after Labor Day, but watch...next year will be the one where they go back before. :crazy2:

Our dates are all over the place! My youngest son is off to college next year -- so we won't have firm dates yet for awhile. I may wait and just take my youngest daughter after we get him settled at school. We've been before the week before Labor Day and it was SOOOO uncrowded! Hot and rainy but we walked on so many rides it was ridiculous!

So I'm staying here -- just undecided on dates and resort! LOL :bored:
 
It's June!!! We should be closer to rates for 2017 being released! Take my money already Disney!!! :surfweb:
 
I will join in! Our dates at this time are 08/26/17-09/04/17 - POP. This time next week will be booked!
 
Plans are slowly coming together for us!! :love:

It looks like August 1st through 10th at AOA in a Lion King Suite!

Then August 10th - 13th at Universal

Last family trip before our youngest son goes off to college. :sad:

Did you book today??

I did a bunch of pricing out, and will wait for a discount to book. But, based on the prices, we will have to do 8 nights instead of 10 I think.
 
No I didn't book today --- we are going in January for our daughter's birthday and will book a bounceback then so I can get the best deal!

And it helps with post Disney blues! We will come back from our January trip on Sunday and book our ADRs for August on Thursday! lol :tongue:
 
Updating us again! lol

We've decided to stay off site next August!

Found an awesome 4 bedroom pool house for $135 a night. So we're going to go for 2 whole weeks!!! Disney & Universal & Sea World!! (We haven't been to Sea World in YEARS!).

So our new dates are July 29th through August 13th.

YAY!

We're booked for 15th-29th August, at Coronado Springs, just me and my lovely Mum (her first trip!).

I love having two trips booked at once!! :D

Welcome!!! I almost always have 2 trips booked at once, but not right now!!! I want to book August sooooo badly, but I'm waiting on a discount. It really stinks trying to be patient.
