Congratulations, Shelly!! I think you made a great decision!

I was going to vote on the split stay, too, but you made your decision without my vote.

(Like I'm any help on Disney decisions, anyway.

) It just sounds like the perfect plan. You will have a long enough stay at both resorts to make the switch worthwhile, you get to stay for 9 nights, you already know that you love CBR, and you get a chance to stay at your dream resort! I don't see any negatives - well, except for the money, but that would be a negative no matter what your plan was.

I know you and the boys are super excited. And I'm sure your easy-going DH is just happy that you're happy.
Once again, your boys took some really good pics! Do they each have their own camera?
I love the Disney puzzle, and especially how you took pics of the progress along the way!
Those pics of your "puppy" in the snow are too sweet! I think as our pets get older, we love them even more.
