Why is it so hard to choose a resort? I have been reading these threads for months, and have decided on a resort, only to change my mind again when reading about another resort 
My family has now decided to offer their opinions, and everyone wants to stay somewhere different, so it's not like we can go with the majority vote. 
Maybe someone here can shed some light on finding a happy medium, so I can finally make ressies 
Our biggest dilemma is that we are a party of 5 (me, DH, DS15, DD11, and DD4), and I don't want to spend more than $200 per night, as our trip is going to be for 12 days in early August. Our last 4 nights will be at CR for a convention, so that is a done deal, and we will get to experience a deluxe for at least part of our stay. So that leaves us with 7 nights in 2 value rooms or 1 room at POR (which doesn't appeal to me at all....I know people rave about it, but it just doesn't strike a chord with me, and I don't know if the trundle will work for anyone other than the 4 yo, and DD and DS will NOT sleep together.) DD4 wants to stay at ASmo (the "doggie" hotel...Dalmations), DD11 thinks POP looks cool, DS15 didn't care until last night he tells me he wants to stay at a "fancier looking" hotel, like ones we have stayed in when going to Chicago, etc). DH would like to stay at CS (which is booked for our dates anyway, and out of the price range for 2 rooms), or the Swan/Dolphin, although he REALLY wants to stay at BC, which is definitely beyond our budget. I personally like CBR (again, too much for two rooms), and the Swan/Dolphin would probably work if we get a rollaway and a discounted rate.
I think I am selling DH on the idea of 2 value rooms since we will have some privacy
Now do you see why my head hurts 
I am thinking that 2 rooms at Pop is probably a good compromise...DD4 can get her "doggie" fix with the lady and the tramp icons, DD11 will like it, DS will get his own bed (usually the girls share a bed and he gets the rollaway!), and DH will like the privacy part But then I think I should at least consider POR, because we would save money (1 room vs. two) and the water slides would be a big hit. And then maybe we could do a split stay between the two, but I think it would be hard to go from 2 rooms to one, and we are already making one move later to CR, so would two moves be too much? And then maybe I am an obsessive overplanner who should just make a decision already 
Does anyone have any thoughts, or at least some sympathy to offer a poor woman who is just trying to make everyone's dream vacation come true?
Thanks!
