    Resolved - Help Me Decide Which Resort?

    Ultimately, we chose the Poly. A Longer stay would have been nice, but with two toddlers, we'll need to go back to the room frequently, so the monorail won out. Thanks for the help!

    What WDW resort would you never stay at and why?

    I wouldn't say never to any of them, but at the bottom of my list are the All-Stars because of the distance from MK, Coronado because of the size, location, and style. Also Caribbean because I've heard numerous stories about the bad maid service.

    Whats something you love about WDW that many people don't like?

    I agree with all of the above, plus: - hearing cheer groups rehearse - listening to other ppl complain about Disney stuff (in an inoffensive way)

    When you visit Walt Disney World, do you purchse one of the Disney Dining Plans?

    I know some people love the DP because it gives that "all-inclusive" feel which makes their vacation more relaxing. No sticker shock or guilt about ordering the most expensive item on the menu is a big plus. But to us, it just isn't worth the hassle. I consider it a hassle because, 1. You have...

    Best Disney tip you ever got!

    Some more tips I've read around the 'Net: - Empty Mentos or M&Ms containers to carry the pressed coins. Bonus: Soak/polish the coins before using in the pressing machines. - Bring a stack of Take Out drink lids. Turn upside down, stick popsicles/ice cream pop sticks through the straw hole and...

    How bad is the Wilderness Lodge construction?

    I have not been, but the construction is major and will be ongoing until sometime in 2017. They are building lakefront cabins (similar to the bungalows at Polynesian) on either side of the hotel and doing work at the Villas. The scaffolding on the main building has supposedly been removed...

    Hmm...are you getting kickbacks from DVC rental companies? :cautious: Lol, jk, jk. I appreciate that you want to help me have the best stay possible, but it's just a personal preference. Thanks all the same.

    Resolved - Help Me Decide Which Resort?

    There are three reasons. (1) A good cancellation policy is very important to us because we never know what may come up. (2) By the time I learned about DVC rentals, the availability for our travel dates was already getting low. By now, it would probably be hard to find a room. (3) My husband...

    Never considered that option. We could visit AKL to see the resort and watch the animals, have dinner, then catch Rivers of Light. TY!

    Resolved - Help Me Decide Which Resort?

    I'm pretty much ruling AKL out, for many of the reasons you guys mentioned. I can't "officially" remove it from our list, because it's my husbands first choice. I'll just "gently" suggest other options to him over the next few months. :angelic: On paper, POR really seems like the right choice...

    Best Disney tip you ever got!

    Tips I've read in this thread so far (summarized for easy-readin'): - Keep to the LEFT in queues. - Take a break mid-afternoon and go back to your resort to nap/relax. Return to the parks in the evening. - Alternative to above: Take a break mid-day and relax at an air-conditioned restaurant -...

    Resolved - Help Me Decide Which Resort?

    CR rooms are sold out for our travel dates. I don't believe BLT is eligible for any of the current Disney promos (or if it is, they are all sold.) We can't afford full price for either one, ($500+/night...Yikes!) and have no desire to do DVC rentals. That aside, I think the simple theme of...

    Resolved - Help Me Decide Which Resort?

    Hi, everyone! I'm a WDW First-Timer. This is probably going to be the only family trip to Disney I will ever take, so I want it to be as nice as possible (or as nice as I can afford, lol.) I am having trouble choosing between the following travel options: 1 - Poly Villa (Studio Standard View)...
