So, the plan was we go back to WDW in 6 years for my 50th birthday. However, hubby says out of the blue "How about we go back 2018 for your birthday?" Looks like we're going for my 47th birthday in WDW, not a landmark number, but who cares?
Is it too early to start planning???? :unsure:

Although you can't book anything yet, it's never too early to start planning!!

The answer to that question is always NO - it's never too early to plan a trip to Disney!!

What a great idea! You could always try for the 47th AND the 50th birthdays! Grin

Just spent my 50th there and LOVED it! Best birthday EVER!!:cloud9:

Your choice of years is excellent.

The weekend PRIOR to Thanksgiving, through Thanksgiving weekend is extremely crowded, but the 29th is after the holiday both the years you're talking about. Thanksgiving is the fourth Thursday of November, so in 2018, that's Nov 22. By the 29th, the crowds will have diminished significantly, and you'll be in one of the least crowded times of the year. In 2021, the 29th is the Monday after Thanksgiving. There may still be some crowds left over from the weekend, but it will clear out quickly starting on Monday (29th).

You should miss the heavy crowds on your actual birthday!

Happy Planning!

Steve

Thanks Grin

My hubby has celebrated 3 b-days there and when I started to think of my big five oh, I decided it was my turn. :thumbsup: I planned it and it was by far the best thing ever! I couldn't WAIT to turn 50! I was the only one of my friends that felt this way about the milestone this year. LOL!

Back at cha with the B-day wishes! I know that you will have a fantastic time :birthday:
