Congratulations and NO! You can't keep it from your kids...... well, I couldn'tI did it! I just booked our fall trip! Holy moly - SOOOO excited. I booked 7 nights at the Beach Club!!!!!!!!!
We have never stayed here. Now, can I keep it from my kids until September?
. So is your AKL GG still on, too?
Great points and thank you for casting your ballot!I still maintain that 13 nights WL CL would be dreamy - but you were considering a villa at the time, to me, the villas are not at all appealing to me.
But, knowing that you love CR too - I think that could break up your trip for you, and get you a bigger room for at least part of the trip.
I'm taking a vote - should I...
1. Change back to all 13 nights WL/CL
2. Change back to the one bedroom at VWL for 5 nights prior to WL/CL
3. Keep it as is with CR/BLV for 5 nights and WL/CL for 8
4. Change back to all WL or split with VWL and keep checking for BLT one bedroom availability
5. None of the above?!
I'm leaning toward #4, which DH and I would be very happy with, but DD would think is too long to spend at one resort (she's antsy).
I'd choose Option 3 or 4. We get pretty bored with the same breakfast/snacks in the lounge after a week.
. But, I really thought you'd choose "None of the above" and tell me to book Poly!I vote for all 13 nights at WL CL and then keep trying for your coveted BLTI think the club lounge offers an extension to your room, so you can hang out there instead of feeling cramped in a smaller space..... That's my vote
I feel a call to the WDTC coming on...
Great point! Well, DD13 keeps us in line. She gets tired of the same, cold CL breakfast everyday, too and DH loves a big "vacation breakfast" as he refers to it, so DD reminds me to book some breakfast ADRs. We never partake in the snacks, but we do love the apps and dessert, which DD also gets tired of, too. But, I promised her I'd make more evening ADRs rather than our usual late afternoon ADR.
I assume you want to stay at a MK resort? 
You are soooo close to vacation. Keep moving forward and it will be here before you know it!
I'm both excited for you and worriedKOOK, just saw the ballot! And you know I have an opinion
First off, I think based on all you have been posting the past week or so, 13 nights CL WL isn't exactly right for you guys. I also don't think that the VWL is exactly what you are looking for either. You get private bedroom for you and DH, but it isn't the perfect solution. So, I would keep trying for BLT, would 3 nights or another combination get you the discount? Also, do you have APs? We have never gone in August, but I assume an AP discount will show up for then. I think the perfect solution is out there...it's just not presenting itself yet.
Plus, I agree about getting tired of the CL breakfast options on an extended stay. Every couple days we like to grab something quick in the CL lounge, get to the park at rope drop and then have a late breakfast near wherever we around around 10:30 or 11:00. We have been to the WAVE, the GF cafe from the MK. We also have tried Kouzzina and Captain's Grill when we are in EPCOT. We then skip lunch and have an earlier dinner.
pas, so sorry to hear that Friday night was so bad at work.
Think good thoughts for me tomorrow. We are trying a new chemo, 2 of the past 3 protocols have put me in the hospital. This is a different kind, a targeted agent, so we are hoping I can tolerate it. So, I will probably be off DIS for at least a few days.
- we DON'T want you in the hospital again. I am very hopeful that the targeted agent will be the most successful treatment. You will be in my constant thoughts, JC. I know it's selfish, but I miss you already

I like the way you think
Well, the consensus thus far seems to be a big NO to VWL and a big YES to all WL/CL with a couple of "Keep CR, but keep trying for BLT."
chimo, thank you for reminding me about the CL lounge being a "room extension." I forgot about the fact that because of the lounge area being so cozy, we actually do spend time there relaxing. It's actually much better spending time relaxing in the lounge area or throughout WL rather than in just about any room.

Oh dear friends....a nasty review of the Poly is in on the Poly thread...why, oh why??? Furthermore, why am I so affected by negative reviews?? Every resort gets them, and I totally focus on them.
Oddly enough, I want to stay at the Poly now more than ever, because I know DH wants to so badly....I'm just hoping and praying for the best....
Oh and, (I think I can say this here), but it annoys me how if someone says something negative about the Poly, they are jumped on or the attention is diverted. Poly die-hards are a loyal bunch.
