I usually make a list like that. Then for each resort, I have a list of room categories from most wanted to cheapest one I'm willing to stay at at that resort since sometimes you can keep a resort you like with a promo just by changing the room category.
Thank you

We are taking a break after an MK morning and before heading to EP so I figured I'd do a mini update!
~ WL - beautiful and serene! The pool work is fast and furious (they have already moved walls!) but we are facing Villas so don't even notice. Love location of Roaring Forks when heading to boats (though wish they would put a refill station on bus side). Also, Villas pool has worked most of the time but we have ventured to CR and BB for short trips - mostly to check them out. DD7 did Summit Plummet but I was too freaked when we got to the top!!!
~ We all agree 7DMT is super cute but needs about another 15-30 seconds of ride! We just get into it and it's over. Back is so crazy compared to front and night riding is amazing!!!
~Wait times on Sunday and Monday were non-existent but today has been crazy! Also, the heat is really higher than anyone expected so lots of grumpy people. Still, we maxed our MK time on Sunday and during MNSSHP so today we took it easy and hit the last few we wanted, got DD7's E&A moment, AND found the toddler Elsa she has been DYING for!
~MNSSHP - really fun but you do have to decide which two of the three things you want to do: rides, characters, parades/events. We tried to do all three and ended up giving up on characters (we missed 100 Acre friends twice and had a snotty CM so we decided to make our own magic on rides). Madame Carlotta and Renata in front of HM MADE the night... I would've watched them for hours (seriously, YouTube them... totally hilarious). Ride lines were LOW and we had a blast at the Monsters Dance Party.
~DD1 has been amazing this trip; very easy-going and handling the heat well. DD7 has done well, too, but it's hard as she wants to do EVERYTHING. While the rest of our group was weirded out by Talking Mickey, DD1 loved it and giggled her heart out.
~Overall, it's been a great trip! We loved Boma (AMAZING food!!!), enjoyed seeing the campfire at FW, have had some amazing character interactions (Mad Hatter and Rapunzel were great!) and, the best pixie dust: We were Flag Family on Tuesday! So amazing!!!
Off to see if F&W is doing a soft opening and finish EPCOT! Tomorrow is Akerhaus and Frozen Fun!!! *HUGS* to all and thanks for the great advice to help make this trip magical!!!
Sounds like a great trip. I agree about the WL. I really wanted to stay there in December, but the DH nixed that idea when I stopped working. We have never done any of the character M&Gs at MNSSHP. We usually only do rides and trick-or-treat stations.
Yes, I agree! It feels secure to be booked.
Plus, it makes the trip seem more real for me once it's booked.
Hello to my RCer Family!
Well, as you may or may not know, my youngest son (18) Andrew got accepted to the Canadian Forces so he will be sworn into the Military on October 10 and shipped out to basic training October 18th.
Very excited for his new life adventure
I NEVER wanted to do Disney in the summer! the heat and crowds are real issues for me, but my DS begged me to come with him and if I want to share this trip with him , I'll have to suck it up and go in the summer! I am thinking it will most likely be sometime late July or perhaps in August. I told him to get it as late in August as possible...but you know the military, it will be when they tell him he can have leave! I don't like leaving planning so late, wish I could book something now! but as I mentioned, it won't likely be until FEB./March before I know much of anything.
My hope is to stay BC club Level. hopefully by Summer 2015 the refurb will be complete, and with the summer heat, I definitely want to stay Club Level! and BC/stormalong bay/ walk to Epcot/ Boat to DHS would be one of the best choices for us I think!
Hopefully I'll be starting to plan along with you all soon! It's been 5 yrs. since DH has been back to WDW, despite the heat, I will bear it to share time with my son and husband in my favourite place!!
hopefully I have enough time to still plan a decent trip once I know the dates my son will be able to go!

I know I've said this before, but congrats to Andrew!! I don't do well in the heat, despite growing up in Texas. Just make sure to drink plenty of water, have handheld fans, apply sun block often, and take plenty of breaks in AC buildings.
Because AKL is gorgeous!!!!Speaking of being soooo ready to book..hoping to announce some 2015 vacation news Monday!
AKL is gorgeous!! I had to same reaction walking into the lobby of the AKL that I did at the WL. I just stood there, probably with my mouth wide open from the shock of how beautiful it was. Both times, my youngest son had to push me towards the check in counter.
You tease!! You still haven't been back to give us the news.
I'll keep you in my prayers that the surgery goes well and you have a quick and pain free recovery.
Hi ladies! Hope everyone is enjoying their Saturday afternoon. We're just doing house work and watching college football. :thumbsup:
My toe is s-l-o-w-l-y healing. I'm currently only wearing flip flops and I'm hoping this thing starts to get a move on! I'd love to start wearing my boots!
I hope it heals quickly.
Well -- we've been booked on a bounce back offer for less than a week (6 days to be exact) and we are already changing things!
My father has a close friend who owns a cabin on the Kenai River in Alaska. The last two weeks of July is the Salmon run and he has asked my father and husband if they would like a boys fishing trip. They couldn't say no! What this does mean though is that DH cannot take time off work for our September trip. I discussed this at length with my mom and she suggested we keep the reservation, and have just us girls go! I think we'll still take DD (she's still free, so cost of her won't be an issue). She asked me if I wanted to upgrade to a Deluxe (thinking Boardwalk or Wilderness) and I of course was fine with that if she was paying, haha.
Anyway, I'm very happy for DH and this opportunity for him, but it does really change my planning (makes it much easier!)...
So now I'm googling the Deluxe resorts to see if this is something we really want to invest in.
Hmmm....
How exciting for both of you. I would love to go to Alaska some day. A girls only trip would be so much fun with your little one.
Exciting!
if my husband did thst to me he would no longer be alive!!! But glad everything got sorted out! Thank you for your prayers!! I have to admit, the closer I get to surgery, the more nervous I'm getting. But also looking forward to being pain free!!
