So, you've got an almost-new WDW annual pass in your wallet that's good till the middle of November 2017 - what are you going to do? Plan another trip, of course.
In our case we're actually planning three between now and next fall, but I'll focus on the first one here. We hadn't planned on a winter vacation this year, but hubby the CPA decided he'd have a little bit of time between budget stuff in January and I don't know, taxes or audits in February, so he did an RCI search for late January/early February. (We are DVC members but our DVC points are already reserved for this April and next October.) He found us a Saratoga Springs one-bedroom villa and booked that sucker fast. I booked airline tickets just as fast and found an awesomely low fare going down and a not bad one coming back home. Then I made a few ADRs. For this trip we have old favorites Sanaa on our first full day and Kona Cafe on our last, with new or new-to-us Tokyo Dining, Skipper Canteen, Rose and Crown, and Homecoming in between. All are lunch reservations except Sanaa, which I scheduled for around the time Animal Kingdom is currently scheduled to close for the evening. And that's all the plans we have so far, but it'll be FastPass day very soon.
