We are booked at Wilderness Lodge for seven nights in late February for DS’s 5th and H’s 40th birthdays. I think H is more excited than the kid!
We usually take short trips for 1 or 2 days because the ILs live right there and we mostly stay with them. This is our first long on-property stay in awhile. Our kids will be just about 5 and just-turned 2. We are excited to see the Toy Story rides and the Avatar rides for the first time! Having just returned from Disneyland, I’m bummed that there isn’t a Cars Land in WDW. That was so much fun.
We're doing Disneyland in October. Our park days will be a Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and maybe Friday. Hopefully those weekday visits will make for decent crowd levels.
We stayed at WL last August and loved it! DH is not a Disney fan, but he really enjoyed the boat transportation to the MK and the other resorts. We walked to Fort Wilderness one evening for dinner and enjoyed it. Geyser Point and Territory Lounge are great too.
We had a Nature View room with an awesome view of the MK fireworks. The room was small, but since we were all tired about the same time it worked.
ETA - to answer the OP, we will have a day trip to DL this July with some out of town relatives. It's possible we'll apply the ticket to Annual Passes for the girls and I, but not sure since we also bought ski passes this year. I have mental plans to take the girls to WDW (either GF, Poly, or BC/YC) in 2021, and I would LOVE to take a solo trip within the next few years but nothing is planned at the moment.

My DH says Apr/May and is driving me NUTS with all of his hypothetical trip planning. He’s currently on a AoA/Caribbean Beach kick to be able to use the gondolas.

We are going for the opening of SWGE. Opening day will just be me and my mom. Stepfather is coming on Friday with my kids. DH is staying home for this one since we have a Thanksgiving trip planned as well.

I have friends visiting Anaheim so I will be crashing at the Disneyland hotel on Sunday night. It is just a quick 2 day trip mostly to see my friends and hang out. I am going to try to hit up GE on both days because I really want to drink at the cantina.

April 2021, I think. My DD is old enough now that she can’t be missing school for a discretionary vacation and I am unwilling to face Christmas crowds or travel to Florida in the summer ever again, so we’re pretty much stuck with spring break from here on out, preferably in the years that our vacation week doesn’t overlap with the weeks before or after Easter. Since we just took a spontaneous trip last December and airfare over vacation weeks is crazy expensive, we’re going to take a good long break before we go again.
First week Feb next year. Booked at Caribbean beach. We will push the trip back if the 2nd Star Wars ride isn’t opened and switch hotels if the gondola isn’t open. I wish they’d give opening dates for things earlier!

WDW April 2020! We're renting DVC at Boardwalk. Kids will be 9 and 10 (closer to 11), so they will have more stamina than the last few trips, which means I'm hoping we can spend more time at the parks.
Spring 2021. Sometime before DS turns 3 at the end of May. DH and I went to universal in mid-may this year and it was warm! We went as a family to Disney in February and hit a cool streak. I'm thinking March or April depending on how we can work around Easter and Spring Break.

This is basically our situation at this point, but we can't really do spring break either because it's usually during Passover, so that leaves President's Day week.
Our next trip will be February break (Pres week) of 2021. My BFF is joining us and we will be celebrating her 50th birthday! It's also the 50th anniversary of WDW. I'm a little nervous about the increased crowds and costs, but I'm excited.
We're staying at the poly in October, I can't wait. It's our 10 year anniversary, and DD will be 4 1/2. We haven't been in over 10 years, and this will be her first trip.
We're going in mid-August (sans kids!) for H's 40th birthday. We bought APs right before they announced there will be a passholder preview for SWGE, and I'm keeping all of my fingers and toes crossed that the dates for the preview coincide with our planned trip.

Disneyland during fall break in October. Dh and I will probably make our way back to Disneyland for spring break or next summer. I’m trying to negotiate going to a work conference in Anaheim next summer, and if so I’ll definitely go to Disneyland before and/or after. And my mom wants to do a girls trip to San Diego and Disneyland too, so maybe that’ll happen sometime in 2020. Sadly, I probably won’t be at WDW for about 3 years on a girls trip.
