Hello all, I need opinions/advice from all you friendly, awesome people!
I have no idea where I want to stay.
My original plan was to stay the first night at Animal Kingdom Lodge the night of December 7 and then the 8th through the 21st, stay at Fort Wilderness campground in a tent. (the economical choice)
But then I started to think about how much I'm paying for staying in a tent to sleep on an air mattress and share showers/bathrooms. (Yes, I know Fort Wilderness has amazing comfort stations - and I do really love Fort Wilderness). Plus since it is only me going - I know I can set up my tent easily by myself - but its just a lot of gear to set up and take down by myself.
So now I'm tweaking my plans!
I'm planning on keeping my Animal Kingdom Lodge stay. But then I'm hoping (haven't booked it yet) going on a four night Disney Cruise. That means I need somewhere to stay the 12th through the 21st (possibly 22nd).
But I dont know where. And Im driving myself (and likely travel agent) crazy.
In my past Disney experiences& Ive stayed at the Fort Wilderness campground, Wilderness Lodge (when it first opened and I was 9), Fort Wilderness Cabins (by myself), and did a quick mom/daughter trip during the F&W Festival and stayed at Pop (which is didnt really enjoy&)
I love Wilderness Lodge, especially during Christmas (so that was my original thought). But since Im hoping to do a cruise, I thought it might be nice to theme the hotel with the cruise and try Polynesian or Caribbean Beach. Somewhere tropical-ish even though I'm not a very tropical person. Then I was also considering the Dolphin but I know its not a true Disney hotel. A
And again, driving myself crazy.
If money wasnt a factor, Id probably definitely try Polynesian, since I've heard so many nice things about it but money is definitely a factor. And there has been no word on room discounts for December yet. So Im not sure if its worth the splurge/price.
So recap:
1.) Just myself going.
2.) Need somewhere to stay for multiple nights in December.
3.) Since it is just me going, I could probably handle splurging a little, but money is still a factor. (I'd like to be able to go and still buy food and souvenirs!)
4.) I'm going crazy.
Sigh. Maybe I should keep my camping plans. That just means driving... ugh.
Any suggestions? Thoughts? Opinions?
Anything would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
