Yes! I agree! Wilderness Lodge!
And congrats on quitting smoking! I let DH buy his motorcycle last year with the promise he'd quit smoking to pay for the payment but... he defaulted on the promise.
Good for you too! I certainly never pegged you as a smoker though, who knew?!
Foolish senior year of high school decision -- I was trying to shed my goody-goody image.
One of these days your DH will be able to do it!
I am so proud of you both for quitting smoking!! You've added years to your life!!
Thank you! I just kept thinking about what I would be able to spend all the extra money on at WDW.
As to your resort, I feel your pain. I am going back and forth daily on where we will stay. Actually, Wilderness Lodge is in the running.
My family is no help either. Em say the bayou at Riverside (she loved the trundle bed). Jake says French Quarter. Chuck will not say, but I suspect he is waiting to see the CBR before he votes. I would really like to stay at French Quarter again (it is my fav if we can't go to Poly), but I also have a yearning to try something new, hence the Wilderness Lodge vote.
You are not alone, my sister! Resort indecisiveness abounds!!
If you stayed at Wilderness Lodge, that would be sooooo neat! We would be there the same time, and we would almost definitely meet!
Keep us posted on your resort decision.
Congrats to Charles for quitting! My DH quit a year and a half ago after about 16 years of smoking. He went to a hypnostist in Boston. He had tried so many times and the hypnostist finally did it for him! Unfortunately he has gained weight, but he is planning to join the gym this month and start getting that under control. I'll have to add that $1800 (minus gym membership) to our budget for April!!
I'm so jealous that you get to do a resort role call! We always stay off-site because we own a condo - but I guess that's why we get to go so often. My biggest Disney resort indulgence has been Pop for two nights. But I haven't ruled out adding a couple of nights (on-site) to our April trip.
Both Charles and I gained some weight, but then it leveled off -- I chew a lot of Orbit gum -- especially during the moments when I would normally smoke instead.
I am envious of you being able to go down frequently.
Congratulations on quitting smoking! That's a great reason to celebrate with a splurge. I can't offer an opinion, as I haven't been to either, but with those choices I don't think you can go wrong.
I know we will be thrilled no matter where we end up -- we'll be at Disney after all.
Ok so I've never stayed at either WL or AKL because I'm a poor college student but based on things I've heard and pictures I've seen you can add my vote in for WL. For whatever thats worth
Thanks! Some of the photos I have seen from Wilderness Lodge are just so beautiful!
I vote for AKL! But I've never been to WL, so my vote shouldn't really count.
I am so happy for both you and Charles that you have stuck to quitting smoking. It must be so hard. I think it's great that you're putting the saved money to good use!
No matter what we decide, I know we will be at AKL for a meal at Boma. Mmmmm....
Thanks! It was hard -- we did the patch to begin with, and in the beginning, I could tell you exactly how many days it had been since we stopped. Now, I barely think about it. It was October 2nd or 3rd before I realized that I had missed bragging on September 30th that it had been three months.
Congrats to you about the smoking too -
sorry... I saw "Charles quit smoking"... must have missed the "and I" part!
That's okay!
Hurrah for quitting smoking!!
Definitely an excellent reason to "justify" a deluxe. As for which one, I'm afraid I'll be no help they both sound good to me.
Love your game show... resort roll call... you should look into syndicating that!
Thank you -- I figured since the whole theme of 2009 is celebrating, we would celebrate with a deluxe stay!
What cracked me up the most about Resort Roll Call was the fact that Connor completely melted under pressure -- just burst into tears and couldn't even think. Poor guy -- but I was trying not to laugh.
But you know, Heidi, after you stay at CBR, I may decide to switch back to that one.
