We'll be at AKV 12/11-12/14

Oh, we will definitely do this on our first night. We have 6:20 dinner reservations at Sanaa, so we plan to make it an early night and just hang around the resort. We are new(ish) DVC members and AKV is our home resort so we want to explore, but we also don't get away much without kids and want...

Thanks for the input! I think we're going to go for it. We won't book ADRs that day so we have as much flexibility as possible. I'll make our FastPasses for the morning in DHS. :)

My husband and I are heading down to WDW for our first kid-free trip anywhere in 4+ years in December (99 days-- hooray!) We will arrive on Sunday mid-morning, and leave Wednesday morning. We are staying at AKV. The first day we are headed to AK, the next day we are headed to MK. The last day...

We bought resale for exactly the same reasons.

Good luck getting through ROFR! We bought resale too and that was a stressful time for us.

We bought resale and paid in full (this was before the member perks of resale were stripped away-- that might influence our decision to buy resale). It's a decision everyone has to make for their own family, but we just felt we couldn't justify a luxury purchase if we didn't have the cash in...

We are spreadsheet people too. Some of my family members love to tease me about it, but my printed copies of my spreadsheets saved us when MDE had some downtime during our trip. We still made all of our reservations and FastPasses!

Yes. Disney through the eyes of a 4-year-old and 1-year-old is amazing. That being said, we are skipping It's A Small World this time. We rode it 100 times in December, and I think we're good until our July 2017 trip. LOL. ;)

That sounds great. On a normal trip we would have a bit more time and could take it easy on the first day. This time around my husband and I are traveling alone (no kids for the first time in 4+ years!) We only have three days, so we're going to make the most of it. :)

We are in the same boat (we book ADRs next week). I am sure what others have said is good advice-- give it time, if you can't book ADRs no one can, etc. But personally, I like to plan out a sketch of our trip in advance as much as possible (Disney kind of forces our hand by opening the ADR...

Welcome home! Congrats! :)

Ooh, good to know. This may tip the scale toward lunch then. Thanks!

If we go, we will definitely choose West Wing. It is so quiet, but it scared my daughter, so we ate in the Rose Gallery last time.

Thanks everyone. Maybe *my* initial post was unclear. I am trying to figure out what to do for dinner on our MK day. We are open to QS or TS options, but if we do TS we don't want it to be *too* long, and we want the experience to be worth it. You have all been helpful! :)
