Help!! Trying to stay cool

[mickeynut1]

OP, I truly think that if you're already lamenting the switch, you're going to look across the lagoon every time you land in the MK and wish you were at the Poly instead. I'd stay put.

The Poly and AKL are your mother's dream resorts. She got a great deal on the price for those resorts and she is the one paying. IMO, you should tell your husband that's where your mother booked (since he doesn't know right now) and let him know that you will be paying OOP for your dining. There are plenty of ways to cut costs on food without starving...breakfasts in the room, bringing your own water and snacks into the parks, sharing entrees, grocery delivery from Garden Grocer or WeGoShop, etc.

I agree, especially since that magical deal is one that can't be beat. As the above poster mentioned, since your mom is paying and the Poly is one of her dream resorts, I'd stick with what you have and pay OOP for your meals like you originally planned.
