On our next trip we will be at Caribbean Beach in a pirate-themed room. We decided on this trip rather last minute (well, last minute for us since we usually start planning a trip at least a year out) and we knew we wanted to do a fun room for our daughter. We have stayed at POR in a Royal Guest Room before and really considered going back there, but my husband and I think we want to stay there for our 10th anniversary. We wanted to try to stay somewhere that we hadn't all stayed as a family. CBR was the first place I stayed when I first went to WDW back in 1992 and I loved it. I loved it so much that I booked it for my family again in 2005 when I was finishing up my college program. I have great memories there and wanted my family to experience it. And, since we aren't going to the parks, we will have a little more time to play around in the mornings to get where we want to go so the size won't be as big of an issue this trip. Seems like a perfect fit. We ended up planning a lot of various pirate/beach style activities to go along with our resort and room. Looking forward to it!
This December, we will be at Boardwalk Villas in a 2 bedroom. My FIL has a convention in Orlando when my husband, daughter, and I will all be there and my MIL mentioned that she would like to spend time with us at the parks while he (FIL) is at his convention. We decided to go ahead and book a villa so she can stay with us some nights to make it easier for her to get to the parks, especially on the day we have a PPO at Be Our Guest. Boardwalk had always seemed like a fun resort and the fact that I can walk to DHS (my favorite park) and Epcot (Hello FEA rope drop and FP+ for Soarin') was a big plus. We knew we either wanted Beach Club Villas or Boardwalk, but decided that we will have a lot of park time in December and less pool time. That pushed us toward Boardwalk with a plan to do Beach Club when we can better experience StormAlong Bay.
Edit: Forgot to add that we decided to add in 2 extra days at the beginning of our December trip. My daughter has been begging us to stay at All Star Music because she really wants to stay in a 101 Dalmatians room. We have stayed at all of the values and my husband and I just don't enjoy them as much, so we thought that adding on 2 extra days so we can start and end rested would be good and that we could spend those 2 days at All Star Movies for her. Here's hoping that we are in 101 Dalmatians and not Toy Story or (please no) Fantasia.
). We stayed there last year and we fell in love! The location is probably our favorite thing about it, we love the ability to walk to 2 parks. The pool is amazing, love the relaxing atmosphere, and the newly renovated rooms are beautiful.
