Mental?

[disneylifer]

Ok, quick question... my wife and I went to WDW for the first time in '88 and since have went in '96 with our then 5 year old son, then decided to go back in 2003 with our daughter (7) and son. We went again last year, but decided afterwards that we would do something else in '05 for spring break.

You know the rest...

We all want to go back for a third year in a row.

I'm turning 40 this month and I still get giddy with the thought of walking down
Main Street. I guess the rest of the family does too. And now it looks like this could be an annual ritual.

Normal?

Ok, a little more of a serious question... we stayed off-site the first year, at the All Star Music, All Star Movies, and last year at the Pop Century.

Sorry, but I like the value resorts. We spend very little time at the room and when we're there, we are usually sleeping. I can use the extra money for treating ourselves to an extra few sit-down dining experiences.

However, as with restaurants, I really like trying new ones. My question(s)... I am looking at trying one of the moderate resorts... probably either Coronado Springs or PO Riverside.

Are the worth the little extra? Any bigger? Are the All Stars still in good shape (especially th Sports).

I am starting to plan / reserve our trip for March '05 (it will be our longest yet).

Thanks a lot.

Hi there! NO YOU ARE NOT MENTAL!!! If you are, then WE ALL ARE HERE AT THE DIS!!! HA HA HA HA HA

We have stayed at all levels, and if you are going for a mod, I suggest CBR. I have stayed at POR and CS, and CS is VERY Spread out. POR has a great pool and jacuzzi but we just love the theming of CBR the best. Also, the room size is a bit larger than the value, but you won't notice a huge difference until you try a deluxe. Those room are HUGE with HUGE bathrooms!!!

If you are choosing between CS and POR, I personally would choose POR. We kind of do the same, when we are tight on money, we do a value. Otherwise we usually do a mod. The only time we did a deluxe was when we cruised last summer. We stayed at Polynesian and then went on the 3 night cruise. I wish we could afford a deluxe every time. It truly is nice to have a larger space with a balcony from the room and the convenience of the monorail right from your resort is so nice.

Have a great trip!!
Angie

I find all the moderates and values to be very spread out in one way or another. You really have to decide what kind of theming and ammenities your family likes best.
