We are staying at a pool home this May for the first time. I'm really looking forward to our own private pool, space to move around and the convienence of a kitchen ( I will NOT be cooking, but it will be nice to be able to toast a slice of bread or a frozen waffle for breakfast). The washer and dryer is a plus too.
I know people say you will miss the magic, but I'm not so sure. Last May we stayed at the Poly, room only cost over $2,000. It was lovely, I'm glad we stayed there, but I'm wondering about the magic? Was the magic lugging everyone and everything back and forth to our room where we all sat together? Our sleep habits are different, some like tv on and others don't. Was it waiting for 4 people to shower and dress before I could? Was it wanting to use the pool only to find it closed? Was it listening to the toilet next door flush? Maybe it was the little bars of soap and tiny shampoo bottles with Mickey's face on them, both products I wouldn't personally use anyway. Maybe it was the maid that didn't get to my room until 3pm, just when I wanted to rest and then I had to stand in a hallway and wait until she finished.
I don't know, I'm looking forward to see how this trip differs. For me, the magic is seeing my kids get excited about seeing a character or a ride. Watching my ds12 help my dd4 onto Dumbo and hold her hand the whole time. Holding my trembling ds8 close during Dinosaur and having him tell me he wasn't really scared. Those things are my magic, not where I lay my head at night.
Sorry for the ramble....I just really got on a roll!
