MouseBuzz.com - View Single Post - We actually planned a trip for July 2009!!!

iluvwdw · 01-18-2009

I am shocked, because I didn't think it was doable this year. However, we have StarPoints we are able to use at the Sheraton Safari (right at DTD) which gets us a room using Points, for FREE!!!!!!! DH agreed that you really can't beat FREE and he told me to book a week in July. We have park tickets AND plus options we can use in the Water Parks. In July, we are going to need that!

Although I am thrilled to be going in July, I am actually kind of upset that we won't be staying onsite and we won't be able to purchase the Dining Plan.

I know this trip is supposed to be about saving money, but still...I am going to miss the Dining Plan!

Anyway, PLEASE reassure me that we will still have a great time even though we are offsite. We own timeshare offsite and we used to stay EXCLUSIVELY at Vistana Resort/Vistana Villages! But lately we have been staying onsite and I have to admit, I am going to miss it this trip.

I also MIGHT be able to add a night or two at SSR with Developer points, if I can't rent them all. So we will see...

.

For now, it's 1 week at the Sheraton Safari - 7/12-7/19.
