So excited, my Belize trip is booked!
Mostly anyway, still have some transportation to take care of but major components are booked!
Current itinerary
2 nights Chaa Creek
1 night Tikal Inn- roundtrip transportation with Maximun Adeventure Tours ($90 pp roundtrip)
2 nights Chaa Creek- got the 4 night Luxury Link deal and they were able to split my nights
3 nights Xanadu on AC.
Will probably book other transfers with William Hofman and still need to do Tropic Air flights to AC

It's nice that Chaa Creek let you do a split with your days; that should work out perfectly! One heads up about their food - they serve big multi-course meals, and you're not obligated to do every course and pay for it if you don't want to. We found it to be way more food than we could eat. They also serve a free little appetizer/amuse bouche at dinner and homemade bread. That plus soup, salad, big meal, and dessert was too much for us. Their food was very good though. We also ate at the pool for lunch and that was great too. Have fun!

brmsimmons,
I know exactly how you feel - our trip is booked, too (except for the Tropic Air part), but we are going in Feb 2013. Can't wait!
3 nights Lamanai
3 night Table Rock
6 nights South Water Caye
3 night Victoria House on Ambergris
We had to ship Tikal this time

brmsimmons, you mentioned that Maximum Adventure Tours charged you $90/person; is that just for the transportation to Tikal? On their website, their overnight package is $230/person, and their one day turnaround trip to Tikal is $125.

aztoad- when I was initially looking I was just going to do transportation, we ended up doing the overnight to Tikal at $230 pp and thought it was worth it.IMO Tikal needs an overnight. Max is a great guy and made the border crossing very smooth, he will certainly keep you well fed as well! We booked ATM through him as well but he contracted out to Gonzo with River Rat Expeditions and he was awesome! He is very passionate about caving and Mayan history
