I meant to respond to one of your earlier posts...we, too, have always gone Deluxe and this time, for the sake of our budget and our current state of "0" balances on our credit cards (finally!), we have to change our WDW style. Like you, we're thinking of driving instead of flying for the first time (we're only an hour north of Nashville). We can't quite bring ourselves to stay the WHOLE trip at a Value (we deeply love WL), but, without the expense of flying, even a split stay at a Value would be a big help. The reviews on POP all sound great, but DS9 is a huge Mickey/Fantasia fan and it would mean a lot more to him to stay at ASMO...hoping the renovations are done by October!
