Florida August 2019 and May 2020- Are we mad?
Really tempted to book for next year before we've been this year.
We have our first onsite trip in August but the free dining announcement has me tempted for next year. Husband may be being swayed by Star Wars opening just after we leave. We loved our holiday in 2017 but never done onsite with no car. Will 2 visits within 12 months spoil some of the magic or be too repetitive? I know lots of you go multiple times- do you love it just as much if you've been recently. This year we are at POFQ but need a room for 5 next time- If we go to POR will it seem to similar? |

Not mad at all! I booked this year's trip before going on last year's and I'm booking next year's when free dining opens in a few days and this year's trip is in September My previous trip before last year was in 1997 and now I'm doing yearly trips for a few years while my health allows

I know there will be others that would not agree and go two or more times a year, but the shortest between visits we have done was 18 months and it seemed too soon. Not a lot had changed and we felt as though we had just been. Don’t get me wrong though, if money wasn’t an issue, then I would still go!

Lol. No! We are booked for Aug 19, Feb 20 and will start the Aug 20 booking on 25th April. So we will have 2 fully booked and 1 partial booked.
We "justify" this to ourselves as making good use of Annual Passes... |

We are going in July, booked a cheeky week for February 2020 and this week booked our villa for next August 2020! I’m waiting for free DDP as well to book before the villa stay.
To be honest, it’s all getting a bit complicated but also fun planning 😂

We did May last year and August this year. There's always something new to see and do. You can always have a more relaxed time next year. No such thing as too many visits for me. lol. I think we are at French Quarter at the same time!

We now regularly go twice within twelve months, and then have a longer gap - purely as I can’t justify the costs of park tickets, so I buy annual passes and use them for two trips - makes the first trip feel expensive, but the second one much better!
