As some of you may have read I'm planning my 21st birthday solo trip with my GF to WDW. I have everything planned and pretty much paid for, last payment will be on the 21st of April. The resort, AKL Savanna View June 7-14th, all of our dinner reservations have been set, and in about 3 weeks we can make our FastPass selections. Pretty much what I feel is the perfect trip, I'm turning 21 the month before and couldn't think of a better way to celebrate it...but I have a feeling about pulling the plug on it. I have no intentions on calling the whole thing off, more of a postpone it type of idea that has been going through my head.
The factors that have been going through my mind is whether or not I really want to spend a whole week there, in June. I feel like I'd be better off and wait and going down in September/October and spend a weekend or a Wednesday-Sunday type of stay. It's more of getting away from the crowds and spending time there when I can truly enjoy it without the worry of major crowds.
Another factor is work. I work IT for a school district (K-12) and despite the rumors I we do work the summer and it is our busiest time of the year for us. I'm thinking that if I work and save up a little more money I can go down and enjoy it a little more. Plus there's a possibility of one of my coworkers and his wife could come along since he has never been and has been looking for an excuse to go.
The last factor is the age difference between my GF and myself. I'll be 21 at the current time of the trip, she'll only be 20. I have no intentions of going down and turning it into a "Let's Drink All I Can Until I Puke" type of trip, but I do plan to try and enjoy some of the drinks offered. Honestly, I'm looking more forward to being able to rent a car then drink, but I'm a bit "off" some say. So I'm thinking about postponing it until at least we can both go and enjoy some of the same "perks". She said she is fine with it but I'm a little leery about how she'll honestly feel.
I wasn't sure if anyone else ever had those thoughts go through your mind like I have or have had a similar experience. Like I said, I don't plan to just cut the trip entirely but move it to a later date. My family is going down in 3 weeks for work related matters and I will be joining them so I plan to make my final decision then.
Sorry if this was a little winded I just wanted to get my thoughts out there and see if anyone else had a similar delima and how they dealt with it, or any tips on what I should do next.
Thanks for your help!

The weather is great(We go every year in May). Crowds aren't too bad and you will love the F&GF at EPCOT. If you plan on going to DHS check to see if it's a Star Wars Weekend.. If your interested then definitely go.. if not, you may want to avoid the crowds there.
