I have 3 trips planned this year:
May - 3 way split stay, with 2 nights GF, 2 nights AKL Kidani, 5 nights BWI. FQ is my go-to, but I couldn’t resist the AP discount. With SWGE coming, I think that it will be a long time before I have an opportunity to book Deluxe at 40% off again. So I’m splurging. I also played around with my reservation a LOT and at different points, had days booked at CBR, AKL non-dvc, WL, YC, CR, and POR. I also considered Universal for 1, 3 and then 2 days before deciding on Disney only. But my plan is finally set now. I think. Lol
August - 8 nights BWI. This is my birthday trip, so I booked my favorite Resort when Sun & Fun was available in the Summer. I was initially planning to play around with the reservation and possibly split the second half of the trip, but the only thing currently available is rack rate. So I’ll be keeping an eye out for an AP discount, but may just keep the reservation as is.
November/December - 5 nights POR, 5 nights FQ. I’m planning to arrive on Thanksgiving, so discount availability will be questionable. I’m booked rack rate for now and am ok with the cost. But I’ll be on the lookout for discounts and may change to either all POR or all FQ if either becomes available for a cheaper rate.
