AKL, Contemporary, or BC?

[flevy]

I need help making a decision where to stay. I'm taking my daughter for 2 nights. We arrive Friday afternoon and leave Sunday afternoon. We will be going to MK on Sat and probably Friday night after dinner.

We have breakfast reservations at the Castle at 8:15 on Sat morning. I also managed to get dinner reservations at Chef Mickey's on Sat night at 7pm. But if we had to cancel, it wouldn't be the end of the world.

Other reservations are 1900 Park Faire for Friday night dinner and I'm holding 2 breakfast reservations for Sunday--one at 1900 Park Faire and the other at Cape May. So I know I've got Mickey and gang covered and the princesses.

Which leads me to where to stay.....

Through work, I was offered some decent prices...AKL and BC are $125 a night. Contemporary is $287 a night.

I know the Contemporary will be more convenient. But is it $375 more convenient?

If you can afford the $375 more then I would say go with the contemporary. It will be a really magical trip and you won't have any wasted time on the buses. If you can't afford the $375, then stay at one of the others.

$125 for Beach Club? That can't be beat! BUT, the Contemporary is much more convenient for what you are planning to do. If you can swing it, go for the Contemporary. No matter what you choose, have fun!

I am am a HUGE fan of the Epcot resort area and a BC rate of 125 a night - that's amazing!!
However, it sounds as if you are going to spend the majority of the time at MK or near MK, so I would definitely spend the extra money and go for CR. You can't beat the convenience to MK or the surrounding resorts.

If you don't mind spending more it will be much more convenient and time-saver to stay at Contempo for what you are planning. However, BC is very nice resort also.

If it's more "about the time", then make it CT... if it's more "about the money", then do the BC ! I'm not saying this to sound "mean" , it just is what it is.... I love both places, and at $125.00 a night for the BC... WOW ! But the money you save won't do you a bit of good if you spend a lot of your time "in transit" from to and from where you have to be.... Either way, ENJOY !

I would go with the Contemporary because it will be more convenient for most of your ADR's and the fact you plan to visit the Magic Kingdom two times.

While the CR is more expensive you can put a price on time and convenience. Since you will be spending a lot of time at MK I highly suggest the CR because you can walk to the resort or take the monorail; while others are still waiting in lines you will be in your room resting your feet. Enjoy your trip, you have some great options.
