Really feeling like I should make a ch-ch-change.....feeling very WL today...

HI MM, Have you started reading Kook's new Picture This thread about WL? It's a work in progress, but it just might make you want to dial a certain number.

I love that place so much but we have not completed our stay at every resort mission yet.....I feel like we can't go back yet.

A part of me always feels the same way about repeat stays too but we've stayed POFQ 2x, WL 2x and soon BWI 3x plus Bob is a big resort snob and doesn't have any desire to stay at the Values. I wish Disney had stopped building sometimes so it would be easier to stay at all the resorts.

Hard choice Candace but I want to stay at WL again too, it has changed a lot since we have not stayed after the Villas were built.

I have also been checking out KOOK's new TR/Tread

My (Mickey) Ears were burning - nothing gets past you guys

Now that this is done and school is back in session, maybe I can finally get caught up here? Unlikely, but at least I'll have fun trying

MY WL/VWL PICTORIAL OVERVIEW/TR IS POSTED HERE.

Hope to see everyone over there - there are plenty of good rockers still available and probably rooms, too

Wookie arrived at the Swan last night



Then arrived at AKL this morning


And got some pixie dust!!! This is their view!

Great pics! Wookie I'm sorry I missed your send off!
We love AK! I hope you have a great stay. Looks like you've got some Pixie Dust already.
We loved Mara, and had a few dinners there. The nightly specials were always good. I'd go so far as to say they were as good as a TS meal. I liked the Salmon specials. Also the Veg. flat bread, omg, sooo good. Someone had posted that they had a similar Flat Bread for an appie at Jiko!

Can't believe it will be a week tomorrow that I'm home!! So hopelessly behind on the news.

Hope everyone is well!

Home renos are coming along. Still a lot to do. Can't wait to get my laundry room this week up and running. Glad our last day at YC I did laundry!!

Thinking of my Jan trip. May go back to WL. It would be our 4 th time. I love WL in winter.

Melissa I'm the oddball and would totally spend the $90 for queen beds. For me, the extra room and bed space would be worth it. $90 isn't a huge difference IMO.

Have you heard that WL is in the running for my Easter trip? Is that why you posted this super fabulous report?

Hi everyone! Hoping you had a great weekend! Christine and I have been chatting up a storm all weekend, already trying for our first/ but hopefully last RC.... You all know how much we love Deluxe resorts! Well, we are trying to move to WL from our current POFQ booking. I'm a little nervous about pop Warner kids invading POFQ the week we will be there, it's one of their resorts this yr, so we decided WL would be lovely this time of year we have a TA working on finding us a room at a discounted special, fingers crossed it works out!! I've never been to WL except to eat at whispering canyon, it's beautiful and even more so at Christmas from the pics I've seen! I think WL will offer us a much better experience than POFQ, I'll anxiously be awaiting the TA's response!

Marie, I love both resorts! We stayed at FQ for 10 nights last January and enjoyed our stay. I happily go back and forth in stays between POFQ or Por, and Deluxe stays. I've never heard of Pop Warner going to FQ!! I thought they usually stayed at a value or CBR! Yikes!

 

[Koh1977]

Got an email that if you book a Hilton stay through the new Hilton HHonors app that you get 1000 points per stay through the end of the year (no max). Looks like there's a plus to the 1-2 times a month stays for my MIL's chemo treatments. Family trip to Hawaii may be in our future! Just have to kick these cancer cells' you know whats!

Marie Fingers crossed for WL. I had decided to switch our ressie to WL they still have rooms for our dates with the discount and Bob shocked me by saying he wants to keep BWI WL used to be his favorite.

Of course it is! But, didn't you once have "an incident" there?

I think there may be a new thread up with more WL photos for you and Christine

I am coming to the realization that I may now be incapable of actually chosing a resort. No longer suffering from resort changeritis, but resort paralysis!!!

How about you guys just pick for me!

I just don't know what I want anymore. DH wants BWI, DD6 wants AKL, and DD9 just wants to go back to the WL. Will we ever find a good resolution???

Hmmm...Have you considered an AKL/WL split stay? Maybe spend 1/3 of your vacation at AKL, and the rest at WL.
Another option, BWI first, and then the rest at WL.

Yeah, DH is still pretty firmly against the split stay.

I don't know why this is so difficult, honestly. They are all great choices and I know I will be happy no matter what. I wish I wasn't so wishy-washy though.

I was looking at a picture of the GF this morning, and DD9 came over and said "That's NOT where we are staying next, is it?" Geez, you'd think a little girl would be happy to stay at the Grand....not my little girls though. Although, they also preferred Pirates League to BBB, so you know, there you go...

 

[Mousemommy1]

Thank goodness for generic tickers!

 

[disneydreamin247]

Add me to the waffle list. First, I don't want to stay at Pop. I want queen beds and more space since we have the stroller in the room. Danimal is set on Pop. I just hate the thought of being jammed in that tiny room with the two kids for 5 nights.

Second, I feel like a big baby. If I can't stay at the Poly I don't want to stay anywhere. Yes, I know how ridiculous that sounds. I just can't find appeal in another deluxe. I mean, looking at the castle from the pool IS pretty spectacular and hard to beat. I also really want to be on the monorail. Right now I have absolutely no idea what we're doing.
