I have been planning our Dec. vacation for nearly a year now. Thanks to SOG being ren. I have been looking forward to staying at the CR for the great rate of $89 (plus tax brings it to right around $100 a night). All of our PS's have been made and our schedules planned around EE and the fact we will be so close to the MK (with DS5 and DD2).
Yesterday I stumble onto a website for military rates of a flate $250 for a week at various hotels/villas. I check out for the FL area and am quite impressed with the floor plans and pictures I see of Westgate Vacation Villas. It is a 2 bedroom/6 person villa on offer for our dates. I nearly lock in the ressie with our credit card but decide to do a search on the DIS first. Well....
Westgate looks to be the worst in alot of people's opinions. Oh the sorrow people have endured at the place I nearly decided on I'm not really fully trusting my own judgment now. There is a part of me that wants to just stay at the CR and enjoy myself. But if we could stay at a plush place and save $450 doing it, how could I justify CR? We will be driving our own car down so car rental costs are not to be factored in. I already planned on taking our cooler that plugs into the car and hotel sockets for our snacks/breakfast foods/sandwich fixings so the kitchen won't realize us too much more savings although hot food is a nice option.
Here are our choices for our dates. Each is the same flat rate of $250 for the week:
Med Resorts at Florida Vacation Villa 3bedrooms/8people
Club Sevilla 2bed/8per
Vacation Village at Parkway 2bed/8per or
1bed/4per (our choice, so which is nicer?)
Summer Bay Resort 1bed/4per
Fairfield Orlando at Cypress Palms 1bed/4per
Villas at Fortune Place 2bed/6per or 2bed/8per (Our choice again)
High Point World Resort 2bed/6per
Florida Vacation Villas 2bed/6per or 1bed/6per (our choice)
Westgate Vacation Villas 2 bed/ 6per or 2bed/8per (our choice)
Orbit one vacation Villas 2bed/6per
Does any one of these stand out as a really good deal? Will any of them knock my socks off and make the drive worth it? Yes, it would be nice to save $450 but I don't want to kick myself and be dissapointed. Thanks for any advice you can give. I've been using the search function the best I can and tried to look on TUG. I don't want to get a membership there because I'm not looking into timeshares but for this once. Thanks again.
