Earlier this year we told different family members that we were going to Disney World in April and that if they wanted to go too than at that moment would be the time to start planning. Everybody was just sooo nonchalant about it 
. We've said we were going to Disney World before but we were not able to financially, so it was never followed through......Before (sometime in 2004) everybody else was all like "Yeah, we're going to go to Disney World!" and this was when THEY had the money, but we still didn't and nobody seemed to care, but yet they still didn't go. OOOOh, how the roles have switched, now we are in a waaay better financial situation than we were before and everybody else isn't. See, we don't discuss our financial status to anybody else because we feel as though it's none of their business, so when we finally said we're ready to go, nobody believed us......Oh, well, what can you say? I'm not just going to talk about, it's going to get DONE!
Now, we are leaving on April 2 and getting everything prepared, buying some new luggage and everything and people are starting to realize that we weren't lying. These people by the way are my SIL, MIL, & cousins. Why would I lie about something so petty?... So now they CAN'T afford to go unless they stay off-site for less time than we're staying. So they're like "I want to go." "Why didn't you tell us sooner?" "We want to stay where YOU are." When I told them, they were just blowing me off like it wasn't possible, so now when I went to look at our resort (Coronado Springs) it is booked solid at the time we're going. So I'm like what's the big deal? Just stay at another resort or hotel. But noooooooo, they're not willing to reason because they want everything their way. So now, everybody's acting all pouty and mad like DH and I just left them in the dark (cry me a river
). They're acting like we're being selfish but we have no control over the rooms at the resort and we are NOT paying for all of them. They make us feel like we're sooooo wrong. Are we?
I tell them, you either pick another resort or just don't go at all. It's always like a competition to them. Neither of us have never been, so they're trying to make it like a whoever goes first type thing. I have never been so disgusted in my life. My DH and I have our own lives to live with our DD and choose not to let anyone else screw up this trip. It's like, if they can't go, then we shouldn't go either. Now I'm 22 and my DH is 23 but it seems like we are way more mature than his sister 25 and his mother. I have never heard of anything so petty in my life!
Forget them, I'm way tooo excited about our trip!!!!

So, rather than stress yourselves out, just don't discuss it with them. You have made your reservations, if they truely want to go, they can plan it themselves, it is NOT YOUR RESPONSIBILITY!!!!!! 
) Especially having a little one, they aren't going to want to do the same things that you are. For them, it will be 'about them' not 'about the baby' . Maybe I am wrong, but it sounds like they are already being selfish, and they aren't even going yet! 
That all works out whatever happens!!
Coronado Springs is a huge hotel anyway, so even if they were staying there, who's to say their room would be close by anyway? Pop Century is the closest value to there, but honestly, its over to them. If they really want to go, then they will, regardless of the hotel. Do not budge on your plans in any way, you have invested time and money into this and its your first time so you should be free to enjoy it without compromise. Like another poster said, give them your schedule and invite them to join where they want but do not change a thing.
