So, I bought an annual pass back in October thinking "I definitely want to come back at least for one more trip this year, and this will save me money!" Well, long story short plans kept falling through, and falling through, and falling through. However, a recent development has occurred and I will be moving abroad in August (possibly indefinitely). So I am not certain when (or even if) I will ever be able to make a trip to WDW again! So I am now bound and determined that I will be making another trip before I leave in August. I initially planned for Spring Break with friends, but that fell through.... In actuality, I'm probably grateful for that (given what I've heard about Spring Break crowds). I then thought about May, as I am a HUGE Star Wars fan (Star Wars Weekends), plus I've heard it is a good time to go. However, that looks quite possibly unlikely now as well, since I'm working on my Master's thesis currently and may not be done by May. So it is looking like my best possibility is July (likely the week of the 21st as my DSIL's birthday is that week and her and my brother would be coming with me--since I'm paying ). Okay.... Now that I've probably gone way far I will get to the point.....
When I go in July, I am well aware that I may not even be able to go to WDW again (given that I'll be living abroad), so I am determined to stay at a Deluxe (since I never have). Basically, when I begin working abroad I'll be making quite a bit in expendable income to pay off this trip relatively quickly (like, maybe 4 months). So I could feasibly afford as much as probably an Outer Bldg Theme Park View at GF. But I'm not necessarily sold on that particular resort--just giving you a "price point". Honestly, I'm having a VERY hard time picking, because they all look completely gorgeous. So would you sell me on a specific resort (and why)?
If it helps, my typical days will probably consist of 1.) up early for either breakfast/rope drop or EMH, 2.) parks from early morning until around 12 p.m., 3.) back to the resort for pool time, rest, nap, etc., 4.) then either early dinner (4 p.m. or so) and then park time or 4 p.m. back to the park with dinner in the park, and 5.) EMH in the evening (if they're offered).
Based on this, is there any specific resort you'd suggest? Also, if you know what typical park hours end up being around then in July, that'd be helpful too. I have never been in the summer. I've heard it is a mad house, but I'm sure it is better than Spring Break (crowd-wise).
THANKS!
