Very Touchy Subject Question... please help!

[luvindisneyworld]

i will not flame you,but i would say to get 2 rooms at the AS also.the moderate rooms are not much bigger than the AS and we ahd 4 adults at the AS and it was very tough.if you were trying to get POR 2 rooms then you were planning on spending extra money any way for those 3 days why not switch to the AS the whole time.the kids would love it there.like i said we were 4 adults staying there and LOVED it.

Sorry it double posted

That's nothing. I once stuffed 11 cheerleaders in one room at ASsp. 3 in each bed, 2 on the floor, 2 in the bathtub and one slept on the sink counter on a quilt.

Well not sure how to take Denman's answer (funny or mean)... but thanks for everyone's elses opinions. Thank you for not flaming me even if you don't agree. I gave alot more thought to those responses than I would have if they were mean. So thank you.

I haven't made up my mind yet... the All Stars sounds like a good idea except that it is supposed to be a surprise for my dh and he is looking forward to POR (has never been there). He has stayed at the AS with us, and found it "nice" but liked AKL better (lol).

What I will do is keep trying for POR (hoping for a cancellation) and book an extra room there. Nothing against the All Stars, but everyone is looking forward to POR. If all else fails, I will book two rooms at ASMu.

Thanks for everyone's ideas and for keeping the thread nice.

I was not being rude or short, (In a word...No) I was to the point after your very longwinded explanation of trying to justify to yourself of how to cram everyone in your room. It sounds like you pretty much have it figured out, so if you are comfortable with that arrangement, and it works for you, fine. It's not like you are stealing or anything as you are paying for her to stay in the room.

IMHO, I would not do that because I know it would be quite cramped and uncomfortable with everyone's luggage around and 1 bathroom, no privacy - I would think it would be a bit difficult getting ready in the AM and in the evening.

I'm not being rude, just giving you my opinion

 

[lookingforward]

I would not worry about it. I don't think Disney will care(your child is barely three!). Definately look into the all-stars and keep calling to get another room at the original resort. I bet there will be cancellations closer to your time of travel. You sound like a great sister-in-law!

Just trying to shed some humor on this subject.

Really, it's no big deal whatever you decide. Just try and enjoy your vacation regardless of what you read on these boards.

If it will make you feel better, it will offset me getting hit with an extra adult charge, which previously I wasn't charged for, when I had to rebook my ressie with AP.

There Disney, we're even.

Denman007,

What were you doing with 11 cheerleaders in your room?

 

[zakatak]

Denman,

I thought you were joking! You just never know on these boards...

Thanks again...

Karen

If your husband has his heart set on POR then I say go for it without any guilt...and trust me I am one guilt riddden person. If I could do it without guilt then anyone could. Yes, it might be cramped but it might also be the greatest vacation memories your family could make together. What fun for your three year old!

Go and have a great time. Don't even mention your sister in law.
You are the kind of sister in law I always wanted...but never got!

 

[inaminute]

Please don't go to All Stars...those places are horrible. I only stayed once. Arrived very late--11:00 p.m. to a dirty bathroom. I mean urine on the toilet seat!

Stay with POR. You might be crowded for a couple of days, but I'll bet you'll have a much nicer experience!

 

[zakatak]

Thank you CRS7568 for that nice compliment! Unfortunately, no matter how hard I try, I seem to always end up the black sheep of the family. Oh well, I will keep trying!

Here's a funny for instance that just happened last night... I drove my MIL and my three young ones down from WNY to Va Beach for Easter (dh had to work). 13 hours in the car! So, last night, after driving for 12.5 hours straight (kids bouncing off the van walls), my MIL gives me BAD directions and gets us lost in the middle of hicksville (on a dirt road no less) because "this way is shorter". I, like a dummy, believe her (even though she is in fact "losing it"). She insists she is right all the way up to "I don't remember this being a dirt road"... 30 minutes later we find our way back to where I was! NOW, don't get me wrong, everyone makes mistakes, but after driving for 12.5 hours straight, having a migraine, being tired... I WAS PISSED! Didn't speak to her for the rest of the way home (30 minutes) but still helped her with her luggage when I dropped her off.

AND NOW THEY ARE MAD AT ME!! for being upset... go figure. I paid for the hotel on the way down (after she promised to pay for it), all the gas... and now she is mad at me and probably talking about this to the rest of the family!!

Yes. Lesson learned.

So, if your youngest was just a few weeks younger, you'd be legal?

Oh for heavens sake! If this is the worst sin you ever commit, you'll be doing pretty good. If I were you, I wouldn't even consider switching to the All Stars. Really, this is no big deal.

 

[crs7568]

Karen,

It just goes to show that no good deed goes unpunished. As my husband always tells me, most people live and learn. He says my motto should be live and live!

It's gonna be a tight squeeze, have fun. I love Bill From PA's reply. (I would put it in quotes if I could figure out how!)

 

[DEH3rd]

don't tell them the baby is turning 3 either...a few days won't kill eisner. Why buy a 3-day hopper.....wait...i thought 3 & under were fgree anyway. did that change, too?

 

[kjmc]

Ok - call me dumb. What is an "AP" rate?

 

[SandraC]

Hi Karen ~ BIG HUGS for you! What a time you had with MIL in the car! That stuff happens in my family too. Usually someone is doing or saying something stupid and I point it out ~ then I am the bad guy because I should have shut up about the situation. Call me the PERSONALITY POLICE, but I just can't stop pointing out personality flaws in others. LOL! Also, when I get those dump emails that promise Bill Gates sending me money if I forward the email to everyone I know ~ I always find the emails on a HOAX web site and forward that to everyone in the senders email mailbox. Somehow pointing out that the sender was a nob for not checking out the hoax turns into my fault for saying so. GO FIGURE! S

 

[welovedis]

Well, although most of the thread seems to support doing this I personally wouldn't be comfortable with lying, especially not in front of my child. I can really understand how the extra expense or change in plans would be difficult but if I wanted an extra person to come along then I would bite the bullet.

Sorry it is not the popular opinion but you asked in your original post "what would you do". I would either switch to another mod or value & get 2 rooms or figure out some other option.

I wish you luck with your plans!

 

[justhat]

I guess I don't see it as a huge problem since no lying would really need to be done, she could just have the SIL come to the room with them and would never have to stop at the front desk to lie. Also, it's not like the kids know that there's a limit to the # of people in the room so they wouldn't know anyone was lying, therefore there's no bad example to be set!
