I've been to WDW a few times, last two trips having been at Wilderness Lodge and Poly. Next trip will be the first time we have to actually pay for all four of us, and with December prices, ouch! I stand to save a buttload of money by staying at Pop, during what will likely be during a free dining time. (Based on the bounceback free dining dates for 2018.)
That said, I keep looking really closely at Yacht Club or AKL for the same dates. Neither are out of our price range, per se, I just have a hard time choking down the extra few thousand $$ when Pop is such a bargain for that time period. Our kids will be 4 and 7 on the trip. I feel like AKL would be magical for them. Yacht Club they could take or leave (except the pool, which may be negligible with December weather anyway). Truly, and as much as I hate to admit it, they would probably be more "wowed" by the icons at Pop.
I guess what I'm really looking for here is some perspective and advice. Those of you who have stayed in Pop and deluxe, what are your thoughts? By the time we go to Pop, all the rooms should be refurbished. We have a preferred room reserved. We are in the parks most of the time and do not typically come back for midday rests/naps.
Help, please! Thank you!
