Planning my very first DVC trip and my first adult only triup and the first trip with my boyfriend who thinks he doesnt like Disney. ( He has been to animal kingdom once and they did it badly - he waited in line for flights of passage for 3 hours) It's also going to be my birthday while we are there. We are going 10/25 - 10/29 and the 24th-25th is like some run and food and wine so it was hard to find rooms and I have had to slowly piece it together. I am planning to do one theme park day - and hopefully two waterpark days - I havent been to a Disney waterpark in forever but i remember them as being awesome and we both like swimming/wave pools/lazy rivers etc. So sat night we are in a studio at kidani (this probably cannot be changed - because everything is booked solid for sat) plus it's my home resort. Sunday/monday we are going to stay in a studio at poly - which I have always dreamed of staying at. I am thinking on the 26th we will go to a waterpark and the 27th which is my birthday and a monday we will go to epcott and hopefully they will have the extra evening magic hours. We will do some rides and eat and drink around the world. THEN Tuesday we could stay at poly studio or we could switch to a different resort and then do a waterpark day on Tuesday. hopefully whichever waterpark we didnt go to. There is a lot more open this night so we could stay alomost anywhere. I was thinking maybe boardwalk - but we are staying there two nights in december. There are many good options - BUT I am thinking maybe staying at Saratoga preferred - and then after going to the waterpark we could check in and then walk over to disney springs to eat and walk around. It IS a lot of moving around - but we will be packing light and gone during the day. and on our long epcot day we wont have to switch resorts and would maybe go back mid day for a swim or rest IF they have extra magic night hours. So what do you think - is this a good time to stay at Saratoga even thought its not in high demand (i do find it charming) or stay someplace harder to get like boulder ridge or boardwalk or go back to animal kingdom. I also thought about doing the dining plan for one of the short day long stays. IF I did it for the first night - we could do the counter service that night and use the table service the next day for dinner right? Is there any limit to what time the next day you could use it? I am also thinking maybe doing a one day dining plan the first day and eating at Boma on arrival night -late-ish (we dont arrive in orlando til 6:30 and then using the counter service the next day someplace at poly. Also - I havent been to Disney in a couple years and the only place I have eaten at the poly is at Ohana - I love the noodles, wings, pot stickers and bread pudding and I know you can get them at a lounge there? Is it a table service reservation place or a first come first serve place? Where else is awesome to eat at the poly. Also debating making a reservation for my bday dinner or just eating all day whenever and wherever at epcot. I dont want to be overly structured because my bf likes to go with the flow and I want him to like disney (bewcause I just bought dvc - but have been stressing it doesnt have to be all about the parks - it can be about resort time and pool time)
