2011 Disney Planning

2011 Disney Trip

We're planning a December trip to Disney World. This will be our third December trip and we're really looking forward to the decorations, the special fireworks shows and especially the Osborne Christmas lights at Disney's Hollywoord Studios

Animal Kingdom Lodge

We've stayed at the Animal Kingdom Lodge once before. It was beautiful, but we had a room at the far end of the lodge and it was too long of a walk, especially when carrying 2-year old Ty. We had a nice Savannah-view room, but seeing the animals was special for only a couple minutes and it wasn't really worth the extra cost. We also had five people in the room - definitely too many for the small Disney rooms.

This time will be different. There will be only three of us (unless Kelsey's or Greg's winter break lines up), and we've already requested a room closer to the lobby. I believe the pool is heated and I remember that the hot tubs were very nice. I also remember that the restaurants were very interesting, though at the time we didn't explore very much.

Who's Coming

There are currently just 2 families (7 people) coming on the trip. The Berkowitz's are considering. All are welcome.

Mark, Jeanne, Kelsey & Ty (4)
Matt, Stacy & Zander (3 - Monday - Sunday)

Park Itinerary

We intend this to be a relaxing visit, and will be taking our time and planning our park visits around the restaurant reservations. We're getting Park Hopper tickets, and plan to keep the week very flexible.
