Because of the 7 million snow days this year (actually only 7 
), DH and I are considering canceling our Royal Caribbean cruise and extending our Anniversary trip to WDW AND take DSs with us and make a family vacation out of it 
We are currently booked at the Wilderness Lodge in a concierge room. I know these rooms are on the small side and it would've been fine for just DH and I, but I don't think they'll work for the 4 of us. DSs are both teens are bigger than we are (see pic below). LOL
So... if we DO end up canceling the cruise and taking DSs with us to WDW, I am considering the Polynesian resort. After our family Disney Cruise last fall all 4 of us were supposed to stay at the Polynesian in the Concierge building, but due to Hurricane Frances our cruise got extended by 3 nights (no complaints about that!) but it caused us to miss our stay at the PR.
The only "problem" now is that when I called CRO this morning to get prices for the Polynesian, she told me there was NO concierge availability.
She gave me the rates for standard garden view and standard lagoon view and I have to say, they really aren't too bad at all, when compared with what we are paying for WL concierge. These are all AAA rates in value season: WL CL is $341. PR gardenview is $258. PR lagoonview is $340.
Should we just book a standard room at the Polynesian or hold out and wait to see if concierge possibly will open up?? Our dates are July 7 - 10, although we may add a few more days on at the end. Maybe July 7 - 12.
