Post 1000! How Soon After a WDW Vacation do YOU Start Planning Your Next One?

[Goes4FastPass]

My 1,000th Intercot Post!

It seems like I always have a WDW vacation scheduled. Those bouce-back offers (which I never seem to get!) are right up my alley.

Even if the plan is tentative or many months away I like looking forward to being in the land of the purple road signs.

Ha! Maybe that's hat a DVC member is - somebody who always has a plan to return to WDW.

How soon after a WDW vacation do you start planning your next visit?

Sometimes I start planning my next trip before I've taken one already in planning stages!

[mouseketeer mom]

I'm with faline. I'm always planning my next trip. I cannot leave WDW without having a plan of when I'm returning!!

[merlinmagic4]

Either right after I get back or sometimes even before, like Faline! I am always planning the next trip

Congrats on 1000

Help! Moderator! Can you fix my the TYPO in my TITLE??

[mdhiggin]

Lately, we have future trips booked two months before we leave on a current trip.

[Disney1977]

We are planning our next trip even before we leave for this next one.

We will be in WDW the last week in January 2009 and are planning a trip with my brother for August 2010. Planning is half the fun.

...mostly our last day at a park we start conspiring our next visit....it's a true sickness I know that now.....Hello, my name is......I am a Disneyholic..

[mook3y]

usually have next tripped planned before we even go.

Currently, we have 3 trips planned through December 2011

IT IS a Sickness AND it is contagious

[TBY2225]

I never stop planning! What fun would that be?

[ibelieveindisneymagic]

We are Disney geeks and always seem to have a trip booked.

We're always thinking and planning and scheming a new trip, and we book as soon as we can...there is something about having the trip actually booked!

Currently, we have a May 2009 trip, and an August 2010 cruise on the books

[mickeefan]

Were right in there with the rest of you. After we check in the first thing we look for is the bounceback information. We usually are booked that same day or at least by day number 2.

[SAHDad]

We are arriving in just over 18 days, and we have our next trip already planned. It looks like nothing in 2010 so I am scoping dates for 2011. (I am hoping to talk everyone into marathon weekend again, but I doubt that will happen, so I might try for Christmas instead.)

[wdwnomad]

If I see Disney is offering a bounceback special while I am there I normally start planing the next trip before it even starts.

[tundramom]

I've got the DT's, this is the first time in many years that I didn't have a date within 30 days of returning home. We are doing a big (for us) remodelling project this spring so WDW is temporarily on hold, but I guarantee I'll have a date by May

[threeh]

I'm already planning my next trip in my mind. I just want to check out our options were to stay. I'll book it real soon after we return

[sillyolbear]

We usually have two or three trips on the calendar all the time so the planning never really stops. That is actually the thing we like most about our DVC membership.

[Goes4FastPass]

I talked to a co-worker recently who is planning a 2009 trip for her family. She said they neeed to do "everything" because it will be a ONCE in a lifetime trip for them (she has 3 daughters, ages 7 and twins 5).

I told her part of not killing yourself on a WDW vacation is reminding yourself, "we will return."

before i leave for the current one. i need to know i have another trip in the works. even if i tweak it later.

I'm the family "planner", and we normally have trips planned out almost 2 years in advance. We knew last spring we would go the 2nd week of August, 2008 and 1st week of August, 2009 to maximize our annual passes and DVC membership. We were surprised by a December trip when we decided to attend the Gator Bowl but having our passes made that trip easy as well. That's the shortest trip ever planned-- 3 weeks in advance. Next planned trip after this August-- sometime in 2011 after my youngest graduates from high school. That's when we start planning trips for just the wife and me. Can't wait for those either. Mark
