AKL vs. POR

[DisBuckMan]

It would be worth it to us, too.

But...if you're going to do a split stay...do the POR portion first. It would be a major letdown to go from AKL to POR for us.

It's not that we don't like POR. We do and we've stayed there several times in years past. There's just no comparison between the two. Completely attached buildings, indoor hallways, balconies, (much) better restaurants, one single bus stop, better pools, the animals....etc, etc, etc.

The only downside to AKL is how far it is from MK but I am guessing since it is your honeymoon that is minimal.

Yes!! I’m almost more excited for Disney than I am the wedding lol the best part is that it’s mt fiancé’s first time so I get to make it epic!

I'd say make the honeymoon "Epic"! Wait...you can make both "Epic" at once...so to speak.

It all depends on your budget of course and how much $700 extra will "hurt." But DH and I spent 10 nights of our honeymoon at AKL - our entire time at Disney (way back in 2007) and we really enjoyed it. I like to unpack and settle into a room when I am going to be there for several nights so switching wouldn't be my first choice. Plus there is a lot of things to see and do at AKL. So if you can swing $700 more I would go for the entire 10-day stay at AKL.

Just like you and your fiance, DH's first trip to WDW was on our honeymoon. We have been back eight times since then and he has fallen in love with WDW just as much as me! So here's to hoping your fiance loves WDW that much!

That’s awesome! I’m thinking we’re going to go the 10 nights because I don’t want to move! He knows he will be back lol I’m sure he will love it. I’m planning to hit every ride and restaurant I know he will love!

Yea 2 of us won’t make getting to MK too hard plus I have budgeted for Uber so if needed we can do that. This will be the biggest trip I’ve planned and I have someone who is experiencing magic for the first time!

Yea I knew that so my original plan has POR first but I think we’re staying at AKL the whole time
