As many of you know, we are going to Disney in a few weeks. Dh continues to tell me that this will be our last trip for a few years (we went 3 times this year!!). Our trips have either consisted of an All-Star Resort stay OR a very cheap offsite hotel. We've just never been able to bring ourselves to pay for a better onsite hotel considering the exchange rate. I love wandering around the deluxe hotels, but have never stayed there.
Well, since this is our last trip for a while, we've started to explore our options. The Polynesian remains our favourite deluxe so we decided to investigate cost. The cheapest rate available for our time period is $274USD a night!! I'd love to stay there, but I just can't wrap my brain around paying $274 a night vs. the $74 we have booked at the All-Star. I'm continuing my investigation of using priceline, but then I worry about not being able to cancel with the state of the world the way it is......
My question is this......... what is your thought pattern when booking a hotel in WDW? Do you splurge with your hotel and just not worry about cost? What would you do? Thanks for any info/advice!
