Ughh HELP! Another just can't decide...

This is kind of long
DH and I have deemed this the year of the vacation.

We went in Dec. Split stay YC/Dolphin - very last minute trip and bought AP's since we already had an April Dolphin trip booked.

I also went in Feb solo for a couple days at the Swan.

So while we were there on our normal spring break trip DH and I were already talking about booking our next trip for the F&W festival which we have never done. He suggested maybe another trip in the end of June to celebrate my teaching year coming to a close and really get our $$ worth of the AP's

Originally we were going to go Swan for 5 nights... teacher discount, then book 3 nights in NOV for F&W with one night being free with points and the other nights with Teacher discount.

Then I got a PIN and my dream of Beach Club CL started looking like a reality.
I just can't decide what would be better

1. Swan in June and BC CL- in NOV- pros, cheap option , BC/CL only 3 days to pay for. CONS - don't think we would use CL offerings because we would be at Epcot for the festival. Wouldn't really use lounge or conceirge services for ADR's, don't know how the weather will be for enjoying SAB

2. BC/CL in June - Swan in NOV - pros - lots of time to enjoy CL, It will be hot so I really think we will enjoy lounging around SAB Also drinks are also cheaper at HH than at the Cabana Bar at S/D . CONS- most expensive option

3. Stay at S/D both stays - Pros = cheapest room option, and continue to build points CONS = have to get a towncar 2x for transport so adds to price, food and drink at S/D is more expensive so some savings cut there ( plus no lounge for snacks)

DH says whatever I want to do. We can do either option financially, I just hate spending $ and we have taken so many trips already. Part of me says this is the year to try BC CL because we have a definite discount now and we have AP's so its not like we have to purchase tickets on top of it . Our flights for both trips are FREE so no transportation costs

Sorry that was long... WWYD?

If you're willing and able to spend the money, I say go for option 2. As you said, it's your dream trip. For me, I wavered so much on upgrading to CL because of the cost, I decided in the end it wouldn't be worth it if I was going to worry the whole time about how much the trip was costing me. FWIW I'd go Swan both times. their pool looks beautiful, too.

From your post, it sounds to me like you can rule option 1 right out and decide from 2 and 3.
