I don't think I've seen an official January 2019 thread yet! Should we start one? We just booked 1/10/19-1/15/19 (edited from 1/3/19-1/8/19) this weekend! It's our first time renting DVC points and our first time staying at a deluxe! We booked at Copper Creek because my DH fell in love with WL on a previous trip, so we decided to bite the bullet and go for it. We got two studios, one for us and one for our sons. I CANT WAIT! Are there any January friends out there?

Edited to add a Roll Call! Post your DIS name, dates, and resort and I'll add you to the list!

Sounds great! Poly is on my bucket list. I actually just worked with the rental company to shift my dates back one week, so now we will be there the 10th - 15th. I'm going to edit my first post to add a roll call and I'll change the name of the thread now that we've got two! :)

It’s on my bucket list too!! Super excited. We were going to go the week before but wanted to avoid the marathon crowds. I’m hoping when we are gone the Northeast has a huge storm :laughing:
 


We pushed back a week to avoid the post-New Year's crowds. I didn't realize that some schools are off the whole week of New Year's. I've read that the Marathon doesn't impact the parks too much, and the crowd calendars on Touring Plans were much better for the second weekend than the first.
 
Our family has a trip booked starting Jan 29/19 for a two week stay at AKL. First time at a deluxe. Our last stay was almost 2 1/2 yrs ago
at POR. Hoping for some nice weather as we are leaving from the Great White North :rotfl2:

Yes I agree I hope there is a massive storm in New England
 


Nothing booked yet, we're waiting for packages, but we've got the dates picked: 1/5-1/12! We'll be at one of the All Stars to save money for the DELUXE DINING PLAN!!!! We're so excited to eat our way across the World! We're planning two sit down meals a day with a bunch of signature restaurants thrown in. I'm also hoping Festival of the Arts starts the weekend of the 11th too.

Welcome aboard, @Zmack! Two weeks sounds like a dream! Does that mean your last day is 2/12/19? I'll put that in the roll call for now. We're heading down from Buffalo, NY so I hope we have good weather flying in and out, but we will be just fine if it dumps lots of snow at home while we are gone!!

@Elenadc, that sounds great! I've always been intrigued by the deluxe plan. You'll have to let us know how it goes! I personally rate the food and the attractions as equally exciting! I'll add you to the roll call with "All Stars" listed for now!

We are flying out of Boston so I hope there aren’t any issues either!

Welcome!!! I haven’t even thought about the festival of the arts!! That is a lot of food
 
I've been planning like crazy even though we have months to go before booking dining. This trip is all about the food, so we're hitting our favorites and trying some new stuff too. Here's our preliminary list:
California Grill x2 (Brunch and Dinner!)
Cinderella's Royal Table
Teppan Edo
Spice Road Table
Sci-Fi Dine-in
Trattoria al Forno (Bon Voyage Brunch)
Tiffins
Jiko
Yak and Yeti
Le Cellier
Citrico’s
Kona Cafe
Skipper Canteen

Yes our last day is Feb 12/19 as long as we have good weather when we fly out, it can be Snowmageddon while we are gone! I have someone to plow my yard while we are gone.:rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2:

I'm going to get someone to plow us out, too! That's the last thing we will want to deal with when we come home. :crazy2:

Your list looks great! I'm already thinking ahead to dining, too. Right now, we've got the following on the list, but we will see how it changes...

Ale & Compass (new to us)
Tusker House breakfast (my sons' favorite - they don't care about seeing the characters any more but they love the food and atmosphere)
Splitsville (my hubby loves their sushi!)
The BOATHOUSE (new to us)
One TS in EPCOT - we are looking at Teppan Edo or Via Napoli, which are both new to us, or we may go to our old standby, Chefs de France. I'll let the boys pick this one.

I'm also looking forward to the Festival of the Arts, so hopefully it will start on 1/11. We will definitely check out the food booths for that one!

And of course, I've got ideas on some delicious cocktails! :drinking:
 
Glad to see this thread. We are booked January 26th through February 3rd, DVC, Polynesian. Can't wait to start planning! Who am I kidding, I may or may not have a spreadsheet mostly done for January!

Welcome, @neitzelt, I also may or may not have a spreadsheet mostly done! :rolleyes1
 
Ive started to some serious planning but we are still waiting to get dates down so I cant do much. Planning for 7 people should be fun

I highly recommend Teppan Edo, it's a ton of fun, especially if you don't have any Hibachi places back home.
