Your itinerary looks great! And I love the outfit you picked out, it's so cute!
As for your room dilemma...I'm pretty sure if you add a day at POR with just a room discount, it will be a separate reservation, just a room reservation only, it won't be added to your package, which means you should be able to cancel it whenever with no problem.
If you're just adding that day though, why not just stay at one of the values for that night and move over to POR the next day? I know it might be a pain to do that but it will save you some money!
Thanks, and thanks!
That is exactly what I was thinking about POR, either way we would have to change rooms and it would be nice to visit another resort. Plus, I am worried that if we stay at POR the 16th and check in late (8pm ish) then even if they kept us in the same room for the whole time then we would be less likely to get our requests.
I am actually leaning towards doing a value, it is only $97 and I think the kids would really like it. We would get to check out a value and see if it would work for us.
I love the outfit you chose! it is sooo cute and I agree pants are a little more practical...
the plans look great so far! we had stopped in Tallahasse (because my dad wanted to stop--but we had planned to stop in Lake City which is about 2/3 hrs north of WDW, it is where you turn south off of I10.)
my next suggestion is what Nermel suggested...that would be a fun way to check out one of the values the kids would get a big kick out of the huge icons at the ASmovie, POP (our fav), and ASmusic; I think you can cancel up to 48 hrs before with no penalty give them a call tomorrow or when you get a chance and ask.
As for the days you check out of POR to go to RPR we checked out around 7 am, checked in and put our stuff in our room, did a quick restroom break and made it to IOA by 9:45...which gave us our two days. If you havev the hopper tickets I would suggest starting at IOA your first day and US in the morning the next finishing with IOA. I know Dayne and Danny had both said they wished I would have purchased the hoppers...we were finished with US quickly and they wanted to go back to IOA.
I do hope the kids can make it the 10 hours to disney. I am sure we will stop quite a few times. I do worry that they will drive me crazy enough that we will have to break the drive in two. With Chris working the night before he will be tired, so I will probably drive the whole way and try to let him rest. Thinking out loud there.
If I book in Orlando/Lake Buena Vista then we will have to make it there. Plus, I really want to be at Epcot at opening if at all possible.
I really am leaning towards staying at a value. Need to call and make sure of the cancellation policy before I book though. We wouldn't know if Chris could do the swap until the week of, so I probably won't book unless I could get the money back (having to pre-pay and all). The only real problem I have with the values are.... I doubt the kids will want to leave them
. They would love the ASMovies the most!
Thursday night we will be up late at the
MNSSHP, so Friday I plan to let them sleep in a bit (I might even be able to go to downtown disney by myself to do a little christmas shopping that morning). Planning on getting to RPR around 11ish, then heading to IOA for that whole day (might swap parks if we get alot done in a couple hours). Saturday I want to use the extra hour for resort guests to ride the HP rides, then we will hop over to US, then back to IOA after the studios are closed at 5p. I am definitely planning on using the park-to-park tickets! Oh, and I am looking at the eats in the parks and Citywalk. Do you have any suggestions?
for paying off your trip!
The first year that I went to WDW, we stayed The Club Hotel by Doubletree which was just down the street from DTD. I looked on Hotels.com and didn't see it listed, but I remember it being a nice place. It might not even exist anymore, for all I know!
I know we stayed off-site again 2005 but for the life of me, I can't remember the name of the hotel. Sorry! I'm not much help, I know!
Thanks, will have to do a little research. I forgot about the hotels right by DTD. Need to call disney reservation line to see the policy and if that doesn't work out then start checking other hotels.
Chris suggested just adding on at POR and I started giving him the negatives. If we can't for sure keep the same room then I would rather stay at a different resort!
I just want to try out all the resorts atleast once. Calling the reservation line soon and will be back with the results! And the day 3 april tr should be up later today, so please check back!
we loved the POP...so far we have been to ASSp, POFQ, and POP and we loved the last two mentioned! the kids are going to love it!!!!
That's sad that Eeyore wasn't as playful, but I've noticed that he usually isn't 
. We all jumped in line. It wasnt too bad of a wait, especially when chatting with friends. We were all so excited for our MK day and went over the plan. Our goal was to not backtrack as much as we did at DHS. So after our ride on the beloved elephant, we were off to conquer all of fantasyland. We rode the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh,
