I would do the POR and BLT split too...although I am not a fan of split stays either.
I am going in the beginning of May if that helps your decision any
This is a fun dilemma to have though right...at least you are planning a trip!

After my days at the Boardwalk, I'd have to go with the yacht club. I fell in love with the location so close to both Epcot and the studios. I'm already working out how I'm going to be able to afford it next year.
Hm, come to think of it, it will be around my birthday...I dunno, though, he genuinely seems to not want to go. And since I don't mind going alone, I'd rather he save his vacation and we go together somewhere we both want to go. And I'm not worried -- I'm sure I'll get him to WDW eventually!I completely understand your planning stress. I'm in the midst of it too.
I think you should work on DBF a little more. I forget, did you say that he's been there before, or not? Would he be more inclined if you let him pick the resort? Would he go for it if you asked him to accompany you as a birthday (or some other occasion) gift to you? But I'm brainwashed -- I think that if you get 'em there, they'll see the light. However, I realize that it's not for everybody...I don't understand it, but I realize it's a fact.
Thanks, Biscuit!
You really can't beat a friendly chef with free appetizers, can you?I got to meet Andy too! He's such a nice guy
Thanks!Great Animal Kingdom updates! I laughed especially hard about the strip club picture!
That's so good to hear! I'm leaning toward the POR/BLT combo...I made some basic, spur-of-the-moment plans, and some ADRs the other night, but nothing's set in stone yet. After the holidays, I'll start a PTR! Hooray!
Excellent choice, if I do say so myself.

Missy, you better finish this report before you start another one. In fact...you are overdue for an update.
He'll be hooked for life. It's a fool-proof plan!You know...it IS the holidays. Okay, I'm feeling festive and jolly and all that. I'll give you until December 26.I know, I know, I'm overdue for an update...I was hoping to get one up today, and I still might, but I'm flying to WI for Christmas tomorrow, so it has to wait until my to-do list gets done. Normally, I'm all in favor of saving the to-do list until after more important things like TR writing, but with a 6 AM flight tomorrow...
I will try to compensate for the delay with this charming Santa smiley:
That's a good point...I didn't think about the YC having two available parks. Hmm...I may have to reconsider my original vote.My vote? YC for 4 nights. Drag the boyfriend along. Flutter your eyelashes if you have to. Even if you're not a flutter-er. Stay at the 1 resort the whole time. Newbies don't get the hopping. He'll see the magic in being able to :gasp: WALK! to not one, no no...but TWO! parks!
Kudos on the solo trip, oh how I'd love to take one myself! Ah, just the thought of strolling around the parks, taking pics and eating alone is enough to make me jealous of your trip!
Maybe one day, although it will take a lot of convincing to get my DH to agree to stay home with my girls while I vacay at Disney! 
Probably not since I recommded the 2 places you're trying to decide on!
I'll get one up this weekend, I promise.Can I be the tie-breaker??? Ooo, ooo can I?????
Sorry, it needed to be done
I'm late anyway. My vote? YC for 4 nights. Drag the boyfriend along. Flutter your eyelashes if you have to. Even if you're not a flutter-er. Stay at the 1 resort the whole time. Newbies don't get the hopping. He'll see the magic in being able to :gasp: WALK! to not one, no no...but TWO! parks!
Edit: but if you go by yourself, resort hop...it'll be more fun!
First, I love your TR! I've been reading along and lurking.
You definitely have a fun sense of humor, your witty comments are cracking me up! Are you a writer? It seems that some of the TR disers have a real knack for writing and I was curious! Either way, I'm enjoying reading yours.
Thanks for reading along, and for delurking to say hi! I'm not a writer; I used to be an editor, so I've worked with words a lot, but I've never had the confidence to try writing something of my own. So thank you for your kind comments!In WDW trip-related news, it's looking like my mom wants to come with me in May, which would be great. It's still not set in stone, though, so I may have to plan for two different types of trips. Fun!
BF, what do you think? Yes, that's right, folks, BF is now reading this TR (though I'm pretty sure he hasn't gotten this far). I gave him permission. He seems to be enjoying it -- I often hear him chuckling while he reads -- but he claims that WDW still doesn't appeal to him. Maybe, once he gets this far, he'll log on and explain why to all of you! I'd totally get a kick out of that!

He doesn't get Disney? Sacrilege. Where else can you immerse yourself in an amotsphere that encourages you to be child-like?? I feel like I'm 9 years old again when I get to Disney. Of course, the food isn't too shabby either! Le Cellier, Brown Derby and Narcoossee's were some of my all time favorite meals ever! I'm trying to talk DH into booking another trip but he's being stubborn.
I even showed him all 2,000 pics I took of us on last trip to Disney so that he would have visual proof of the great time we had there! Still, no dice. I read very few trip reports and yours made the cut! Just kidding. It is an enjoyable read though and really really really makes me want to go back to Disney. Good luck working out your trip plans and good luck getting your BF to go! He doesn't know what he's missing!
