We are looking at going back to WDW in late 2010 (November). We have been to Florida many times and got married at WDW. When we got married was the only time we have stayed on property. We stayed at 3 different resorts. First of all we stayed at All Star Movies. I loved the theming and the atmosphere of the resort. Our guests felt that the rooms were small, had a cheap feel and the resorts felt like a British holiday camp.
For the wedding we moved on to the Boardwalk Inn and stayed in a Garden Suite. This place was heaven and the whole feel of the Boardwalk really appeals to me. It is my happy place that I go to in my head. We got married at Seabreeze Pointe so I am a little biased about it.
After the wedding we moved on to Coronado Springs. I was not impressed with this resort at all. The rooms were dark and the whole place seemed to lack that Disney magic we all look for. However, parts of it were very pretty. Also, the taco salad at the Pepper Market was awesome.
Now, we are planning on going back but with 2 children in tow (DS 4 and DD 3 at time of travel). We are so unsure on what to do. We have considered Pop Century for the fun element. We have considered Boardwalk Inn because we will be there for our anniversary. We have considered Port Orleans Riverside for the Free Dining Plan. We have considered Animal Kingdom Lodge because my son loves animals.
We are all over the place with this. We want to try and keep the costs down but it will have been 3 years since our last visit and we want to make the most of it. We think we are going to go with the standard dining plan. My husband and I are both foodies but the children are still young and dont really have the temperament for fine dining just yet.
We hope to go to the F & W at Epcot although, I am not sure how that will work with small children. We are hoping to eat somewhere nice for our anniversary but if we stay in the Boardwalk with a Fireworks view room we will probably have private dining and eat out on the balcony and the kids can enjoy themselves and we wont have to worry about how well they are behaving. We would love to eat at the Cali Grill but are not sure whether that is a good idea or not.
So we are unsure which option to go for:-
Pop Century at Annual Pass rates (after purchasing said AP) with Dining Plan
Port Orleans with MYW tickets and Free Dining Plan
Boardwalk Villas on rented DVC points with either MYW tickets or Annual Pas and Dining Plan
Boardwalk Villas for 3 night (our anniversary) after purchasing DVC and getting discounted APs and purchasing Dining Plan then Pop Century on AP rates and Dining Plan
See I told you we are all over the place with this!!
Anyway, any advice would be great and also any tips on how to do Disney with young children would be great.
Also, we are interested in doing a Resort photo session. Firstly, as you can imagine I cannot decide which resort to do the photos at. I would love to do them at the Boardwalk but I understand that is not an option. Which resorts are an option? Are there any you would particularly recommend or avoid?
Am I right in thinking that if you have the $125 package you can add all of your photopass photos to the same cd?
So many questions!!
