Cool
My plan was to do a five night stay every year around late April / early May.. That keeps me about 6 month from May late October / early November Disney World Trip (I do 9-12 nights there). My thought with getting more VGC points would be that I would switch from 1 five day trip to a 3 day trip in Jan and a 4 day trip in early May. It’s only a 1.5 hour flight to SNA from where I am.
I’m also doing 6 nights for my first real VGC trip. I’m going to also go check out Super Nintendo world and maybe hit up a beach.
It's nice to be that close! For us...the only direct flights are to LAX and they are always at the worst time. So we fly to SNA but always have a layover in either Denver, Phoenix, or Las Vegas. So it can be a long, annoying day. When we go in the summer we actually prefer to drive....even though we take 3 days (1500 miles) each way. Ha!
Very easy, like it was one contact.
Actually on my way there now. Split stay, 2 nights DLH, 3 nights VGC. Had VDH booked for first 2 but decided to save the points and book the rooms we like better at DLH.6 nights is perfect for a park trip imo. By night 5 we all want another day, but by night 7 we're bored.
I don't know how many days it would take me to get bored. Might not be possible. When I lived 10 minutes away, we'd go multiple times a week. It's the only thing I miss about living in CA. My son, on the other hand, is all about routine. So vacations can be tricky for him, in general. We're thankful he has fun in the parks but I think 5-days is probably his max. We're only doing 5 at WDW next month so I'm curious to see what he thinks. When we went to WDW previously (2008/2010/2012...all before he was born), we did 8 days each time, I think.
