Need help deciding....trip now or in Feb.?

[stephk422]

Due to my back injury, we've moved our trip from Aug. 23-28 to Aug. 30-Sept. 4. We're booked at Cabana Bay and already have 4-day PTP tix. My back is getting better, and I think I could handle the trip in 2 weeks. However, my husband thinks it might be better to wait and go in Feb. during President's week.

The last time we were at UO was in Nov. 2013, and it was too cold to swim. Both of my kids love the pools (ages 10 & 14). So if we go now, they'll get to swim. If we wait until Feb., they probably won't be able to go swimming, but on the plus side it will definitely be less hot/humid and less storms.

We got a great rate on our room at Cabana Bay, but looking at pricing for Feb. 2016 Pres. Week, it's going to cost a lot more, especially if we change to one of the onsite hotels that have EP.

Any insight/opinions that would help me make the best decision would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I would vote for the Aug/Sep trip as well...but only if you are ready for it! It will be nice to let your kids have time to swim (Cabana Bay looks awesome for that) but I urge you take care of yourself and take as many breaks as you need. Back injuries are one of the hardest injuries to overcome.

We were there last feb and while we did go swimming a few times, it was a bit chilly and we couldn't stay in for long. Plus some of the lazy river at cabana bay is in the shade.

I guess I'm on the other side of the fence, because the extreme Florida heat just kills me! I'd go in February and enjoy the temperate weather.... Your kids can swim at any old pool any time. Teehee!

Thanks for your responses! We've made the decision to go the first week of Sept. Yes, the heat will kill me, but the kids really wanted to go! I'm going to take it as easy on my back as I can, and hope for the best!
