I'm obsessing about resort choice-help!

I'd stay at AKL the whole time. I never switch resorts unless it's a long trip.... I can't stand all the moving, repacking, unpacking, etc. I've got to have at least 4 nights to feel settled in and stress free.

Remember this... lots of people complain because you have to take a bus everywhere from AKL... BUT you're going to be taking a bus from CSR and CBR too. So I don't think it really makes a difference.

When we were at AKL the bus was very quick and there were alot of them. Maybe that was when they first opened and were trying to make people happy, but like TigrLuvsPooh points out, you have to take a bus from any of the resorts.

I totally freak out about where to stay everytime we go so this year i amde a great effort to at least visit some of the resorts I had in mind for next time. I highly reccomend it, BUT for now all I can say is it is all a matter of taste. We booked the CBR and Poly for our last stay and when we arrived at the CBR, we hated it. We didnt like anything about it. We were so bummed out we went to eat at the AKL and just check it out and ended up checking in. Then we stayed at the POLY and were dissapointed there as well. We'd wished we would have just stayed at AKL. After visiting all the resorts we found that the AKL and the Dolphin are our two favorites and I wont chance staying anywhere else. Agagin, its a matter of taste and also what you are looking for. The Dolphin is an awsome location and the AKl is so peaceful after a long day in the parks. Good Luck, just keep reading up and asking questions. In the worst case senerio you'll hate your choice and you can just switch like we did.

It's snowy 20 degree days in April that makes me want to move to sunny Florida to be closer to WDW.

I'm still toying with the idea of staying at CBR. It seems the reasonable thing to do, but having stayed in the tower rooms in the CR several times on business has spoiled me.

Oh, the sleepless nights. Unfortunately my DW is little help. As long as we have our plane tickets, she really doesnt care where we stay.

Just be glad your favorite is not the Grand Floridian, LOL.

Then you would be miserable all the time like me,

Thanks

I'm with you. I think I've changed my mind over a dozen times since we picked a date to come back. My DH wants to 'save money' because we will be paying for 2 rooms and stay at AS. We will be 4 adults & 4 kids with CM discounts. I just found out we can get a fantastic rate for AKL so I'm going to give it another shot to see if I can get DH to let some moths out of the wallet and splurge this trip. I figure we deserve it - we'll be celebrating our 13th anniv., my DS 1st BD, my DS 8th BD and my DSIL 1st anniv. while we're there.

Everyone's posts about AKL have me wanting to stay there more & more.

CSR pool is really fun. My DS (6 at the time) loved the slide!
I hope you have a great time wherever you stay.

At the end of the day what matters is that you get to vacation where you want to vacation. Whether it is the All Stars or YC/BC or CR or Poly etc. you are at one of the magical places - WDW.

I think worrying too much about which resort to stay at distracts from the purpose of going to WDW to have fun. Go with what makes the most sense given party size, financial constraints and purpose of trip.

We are lucky to be able to go to WDW and at the end of the day which resort we get to stay at is nowhere near as important as the fact that we are actually at WDW
