A few weeks ago my son was invited to compete in a National tournament for TKD held in DTD's Hilton. They were offering "special" rates of $149 for 2 nights but then it jumped to $220 for the 3rd. Knowing I could get it cheaper onsite I called WDW and booked POP for 3 nights for $49, a total of $164. Happy with that I was UNTIL my mom and grandmother decided to join us. I called WDW and added another room, couldn't get AP discount so used general code and got it for $184 total. Total for both rooms=$348 Today I had to pay the deposits and I called WDW and told them that I wish I could get into a mod but there weren't any available for my dates. The CM had me hold for what seemed like forever and I truly thought that she was going to come back and tell me Coronado (NOT where I would perfer to stay) but she came on the line and told me WL Courtyard for my dates with my AP rate. The rate a night is $156 so my total for 1 room is now $120 more then the 2 rooms at POP. I admit it, I caved.
I love WL and have always wanted to stay there but I wanted to stay there when it was $119 a night AP rate. I was never able to get that so I never stayed there. Now I'm paying $156 a night, note HIGHER then Hilton and I balked at that price. What is wrong with me? I have no business calling WDW cause every time I do I wind up spending more money!!!! There has got to be others like me out there...........right?

I can think of a hundred reasons why you are justifed in staying at the WL. Go for it!!!! This will be a very special trip for mom and grandma. That totally justifies any amount of money.
