Well, I think I have talked DH into letting me and DD go on a mother/daughter trip in March for her birthday. DH wants to stay in the Wilderness Lodge for our december trip which means we would have 110 banked points to use up before Feb 2013.
DD turns 9 during her spring break in March. So I thought it might be fun to take a mother/daughter trip and use up those points. I really thought that DH would immediately say no becuase he would think it would be really expensive, but he didn't. And after I laid out my plan for the cost of the trip he was even more open to the idea.
So I called member services today to see about a room. I really wanted a studio at BLT, any view is fine but there wasn't anything available for all of our days. She said they did have a savanah view at Jambo house available so I booked that and waitlisted for standard view and theme park view at BLT.
I was thinking that BLT would be our best choice because we will probably spend most of our time at MK and DHS so it would be nice to be able to walk to MK. But now I'm torn because I think DD might really enjoy AKL. I'm just worried that since its a busier time of year we are going to spend a lot of time waiting for buses. At the same time, DH is very impatient and would not enjoy the extended bus time at AK so this might be the time to try this out.
We've only stayed at BLT and I do want to try some of the other DVC resorts. So maybe I should have waitlisted for something else new to try? I just don't know. I'm not planning any table service meals this trip. I think DD and I will just be trying to do as many of her favorite things as we can and grabbing CS meals when we are hungry.
Should I keep the waitlist as is, try for something new to us, or try AKL out this time?
