    Once you go Moderate/Deluxe, can you ever go back to a value?

    So, right now we are booked for a split stay in October...AKL/CSR (business class) and due to availability reasons at the time (and the fact that I'm a tightwad), the last 3 nights at POP(AP rate). PROBLEM...After a recent road trip and 1 night stay at a less than stellar, popular hotel chain...

    Just another day in the Happiest Place on Earth! Completed April 24th!!

    Following along :) Sounds like you had an amazing visit!!! We LOVE Ohana's as well! And the Lapu Lapu, well just look at my profile pic LOL. My kids loved the brownies and ice cream they offered them, but were just too stuffed to even try a little. Waiter said he had to throw them out, which...

    Territory Lounge and Artist Point

    You can easily spend just as much at any bar/lounge, especially at Disney :) I'd say go ahead and have a nice, sit down meal at Artist Point. If you are looking to cut costs, split an appetizer and meal with your DH? DH and I split a LOT while we are at WDW and we have never had a bad...

    *** The Official August 2016 Thread! ***

    Not sure if this has been discussed but I am not worried about it at all. We are going the last week in August though. We also love BTMRR so yes, it is a BUMMER :( BUT, just look at it as a way to spend more time doing something different or new?? I overthink most everything, so totally...

    *** The Official August 2016 Thread! ***

    Realized this today. One perk of going to WDW in August....less luggage! And with 3 kids in tow, that means a lot to me :) Also, I have noticed lots of availability for the "hard to get" restaurants on our week of travel! Hoping that means smaller crowds !

    Should we park hop in August or NOT? Super confused...

    We will be there for 7 nights. I'm still torn on what to do...if I am reading things right, I can always add the park option on even after we get there? I've either done one or the other in the past so didn't know that was really an option. So, say I have 4 days, and use 2...then decide to...

    Should we park hop in August or NOT? Super confused...

    We will be at WDW the last week in August. 3 kids, staying at a monorail resort. We have all been multiple times, so the whole MUST SEE/DO everything feeling is not as huge as what it used to be in the past, if that makes sense :) With the heat in mind, would it be best to stick to 1 park per...

    Boma - love the food, starting the hate the atmosphere

    Sorry to hear. A lot of what you encountered is exactly why I tend to stay away from buffets anymore. I just don't understand it, having 3 kids of my own. We have consistently taken our children to all sorts of restaurants, ever since they were babies so maybe they just know how to behave?? I...

    7 nights at the Poly....in August? Weather concerns...

    My girls LOVED it when it was still Neverland Club! I'm excited to have my youngest 2 try out the new "Lilo's Playhouse" while DH, Oldest DD and I try out Trader Sams :) For now, our plan is to get going before the parks open, stay till around 11/12, back to the resort for swimming/relax then...

    7 nights at the Poly....in August? Weather concerns...

    Oh yes, we will be expecting it for sure! Thanks! Rope drop is for sure on the agenda, heck I think we will even visit the Hall of Presidents this time around finally LOL. Thats what it comes down to right now, heat OR Crowds(with heat sometimes just as bad). I didn't think it was irrelevant...

    7 nights at the Poly....in August? Weather concerns...

    Wow, thanks for the backup guys! I come to check on maybe a few answers and get a whole 2 pages ! I was looking for others who have been in the same predicament as myself. Or really, any thoughts regarding my situation. Staying at a monorail resort in the heat of the Summer makes it MUCH...

    7 nights at the Poly....in August? Weather concerns...

    SO, we are booked for 7 nights the last week in August. I know the heat and humidity will be extreme for us, coming from Michigan. I've been in June, July and August before....as well as March, April and October & November. To say I'm not worried would be a lie. During our last visit this...

    Thoughts on sharing an entree

    We split ALL. THE.TIME. Never once have we encountered a problem or an eyebrow raised. I'm pretty tiny and have GI problems, I just can't eat much more than a few bites here and there. Obviously we can't split at all you can eats or buffets, etc. We have split at all of the signatures (been...

    *** The Official August 2016 Thread! ***

    Do you park hop or stick with 1 park per day?? I'm torn on what to do this time. We enjoy park hopping usually, but with the heat and such, I'm not sure it's a wise decision this time around.

    Almost ready to book for our end of August trip...we have been to the Poly many times, but never stayed there. I'm hearing about construction?? Can someone please let me know what this entails and if it would really affect our visit? I'm torn between choosing AKL or the Poly....we love the...
