One, I wanted to lock in the dining somewhere before it sold out everywhere. I'm actually holding two reservations right now.
Two, we are six people so choices are limited. (I know POR is 5 people max, but one son was rooming with friend, who now moved to Coronado as a family of four). We talked about two rooms at Pop Century with the benefit of two showers, but we've done value before and outside of sleeping there was little we want to do there again. Kids are older and heavy Disney themes are not as desirable of peaceful crashing.
Three, I can't go deluxe as it is too expensive.
At first I felt locked in to something I didn't want, but after two days of inquiry, videos and reviews I am now excited for beach, night time fireworks and water pageant, chip and dale campfire, access to Wilderness Lodge for QS treats here and there, boat rides to MK, resort specific merchandise.
My only two issues I'm working on is snacks and QS at Ft. Wilderness (which I'm almost at peace about) and time of internal bus service. However, my family doesn't seem concerned with extra walking and getting up a little earlier. We live in the country so everything takes time for us anyway. So were pretty set and getting happier.
