Are we crazy? We switched from OKW

[JJ&JSMOM]

1 bedroom to the Poly. I'm feeling so unsure right now. I love the theme of the Poly, the monorail, the restaurants but what really did it was the proximity to MK. We're going during MNSHHP so we'll be in MK for regular touring probably 2 days and then another day to attend MNSHHP. I just thought being on the monorail would be the wisest move. As far as Epcot goes, we'll try in squeeze that in in the evenings so I thought the monorail would be helpful with that as well. BUT the we'll miss out on the room size of the 1 bedroom - the washer and dryer - aughhhhh.

Our other choice resort is AKL - the kids would absolutely love the animals but the construction and the distance from MK turns us off a little bit. Disney really doesn't make this easy.

I remember the days when it was just DH and I and we just stayed at POR - then Dixie Landings - with no what ifs or what about this. Those were the days! But I try and remember that - WE'RE GOING TO DISNEY WORLD!!

Just thought I'd vent - thanks!

I think you made a good chioce. With the ages of your children, you cannot go wrong being on the monorail. You will be thanking yourself after the end of along day when you are back in your room within mere minutes! It will be really easy to take mid-day breaks too! The zero entry pool is a plus also!

By the way......care to share how you lost 41 lbs? I could sure use the advise!

Not crazy - both are lovely resorts.

Thanks for the reassurance. As far as the weight loss - I did it w/Weight Watchers and exercise. I started out (May 06) doing Weight Watchers meetings and paying $12/week and then after my pre paid coupons were gone I thought to myself I should pay myself $12/week instead of WW so that helped motivate me. I paid myself $20/week if I lost weight or $12 if I followed the plan and did ok but didn't lose and $0 if I totally went off the plan. This is how I was saving for disney spending $$ BUT I had to use it to pay some bills but at least I had that extra money.

Its hard but I just stayed focused and I love to exercise now. I added music to my workout and I look forward and love my exercise time. I think thats the key plus portion control. If I can do it - anyone can!

It is never crazy to stay at the Poly! You'll love it - the convenience, the lovely grounds...it's fabulous. And, maybe it's just me but I stayed at OKW once and didn't like it at all.

hey if you decide you rather have OKW - well next trip definitely do OKW.

both OKW and Polyn have animals - so your kids will find plenty to look at either resort.

with little ones I really think you will miss the kitchen more than the washer/dryer.

Polyn has washer/dryer - not free - but it does have them.

True - although I'm in hopes of setting up a little area for our breakfast items and some bread & peanut butter for quick meals. Looks like above the fridge theres room for that. I saw at Target they sell Tide detergent sink tablets so maybe I'll try those to wash out mickey ice cream stains . We're going on a mini vacation this summer to New Hampshire so I'll try out the Tide tablets and see how that works.
