Our year of Disney got interrupted by COVID like many others. We had annual passes from Nov 2019 - got to do Mid-Nov, Christmas and Feb 2020 right before lock down. Cashed in the pass in June. We had to cancel trips in April, June and October. All three were DVC Point rentals and we lucked out and got point credits to use!
My goal is to pretty much hit every single major holiday at Disney in a year. I've done Christmas twice - and will happily do it again! DS is in High school now, so we can't steal him away as easily, so have to go on school breaks anyways. We normally drive all the way down from the DC area for our trips and rent DVC credits and are doing some stays at AirBNBs to save money. We still have all of the money we'd planned for those trips, plus the DVC credits are already paid for.
Assuming annual passes come back, we'll be re-activating passes for July 2022. If no annual passes - will only do the Halloween trip.
July 2022 - We have already SPLURGED and got Club Level at the Contemporary for the 4th of July itself. After which we hope to get DVC studios at the Boardwalk and then move to an AirBNB for a week and have all family come visit.
Halloween/1st week of Nov 2022 - Big friend trip, AKV and Beach club hopeful at 11 months out. Back up big group reservation at All Star Movies (new rooms look nice).
Thanksgiving 2022 - short trip, flying in, not sure but considering Poly Villa Studio. With no car, being able to boat into MK and walk to the Transport center to take the Mono to Epcot is sweet.
Christmas & New Year's Eve 2022 - Wilderness Lodge Studio villa and hopefully a swap to Contemporary for NYE itself.
I am so excited, especially with how things have been changing this past week.
