Longer Stay or Better Resort

[Bouncing4Tigger]

I would definatly stay longer. It is one of the reasons why I always stay at a value or sometimes a mod if I get a good rate.

I'm a middle of the road kind of gal, and thus, I'd do both-- a split stay.

Instead of 7 or 12 days, I'd stay for 10-- 5 at the value and 5 at the moderate. Your numbers may or may not be pretty similar than if you were to do just one or the other. You could adjust to compensate as well, like if it puts you over budget, do 6 days value, 4 days mod, or vice versa if you're under budget.

That way you get the best of both worlds and a fabulous 10 day stay! Good luck with your choice.

This exactly what I was going to say. If I had to pick between the OP's original two options I would pick the upgraded resort at a shorter stay. Seven nights is not all that short. It is still a good chunk of time. We would pick the nicer resort, because that is a good part of the Disney experience for our family. We are not commando park people. We really like to spend time at our resort and enjoy the amenities it has to offer. As other posters have stated that they can't understand why people would pick a shorter stay over a nicer hotel beacuse you only sleep there, I can't understand the reverse. We like to come back from our vacation relaxed and refreshed. Different strokes....


OP, just figure out what you want out of your vacation and then make your decision from there (I personally think the split stay will give you the best of both worlds )

Thanks for all the great responses! I never even considered a split stay between a value and a moderate. I will definitely call and see what the cost would be. My daughter and I are just torn between the peaceful beauty of the CBR and the luxury of having 12 days to be in WDW...
