Hi everyone,
HELP!! I need some advice as to which resort to choose for an upcoming stay. I will be traveling for my first solo trip 9/3-9/8 and had originally planned to stay at AKL Jambo the whole stay. The itch to be close to Epcot is getting the better of me and I am leaning towards booking a room at either BWI or Yacht Club for 9/3-9/5 so that I can make use of International Gateway for early entry and for the Deluxe evening hours on 9/4. I will then be moving to AKL Jambo for 9/5-9/8. I am a big fan of the midday break for relaxing and drinks at the pool. The price difference between BWI and YC is less than $10 so that is not a factor. It would however be a savings of about $250 to stay at AKL the whole time ( which would go a long way towards sampling items at F&W). BWI has been our go to resort for the past 3-4 years so I am very familiar with that and the new rooms look great. YC is a resort that I have stayed at, but it was over 10 years ago so I am not very familiar there. Stayed at AKL for the first time in May and I think that it has become my new favorite. How do you think crowd levels at Stormalong Bay would be around Labor Day? Long lines for food and drinks at Hurricane Hanna's? I have heard some horror stories about wait times for food and drinks here and even capacity issues with entering Stormalong Bay. Sorry for the long post but I have been agonizing over this decision and need some help. Thanks in advance!
