Where to stay 2 nights- low on points

[pinkxray]

We are doing a Christmas focused trip starting the Friday after Thanksgiving.
It is DH, myself, DS7 and DD5.

We fly down Friday morning after Thanksgiving and stay until the next Sunday.
Our trip going to include two nights at Legoland but we decided to do that another time. That leaves the 1st 2 nights with nowhere to stay.

Fri/Sat - need a room
Sun-Thursday 1 bedroom Copper Creek
Thursday- Sunday Hard Rock Universal

I have always wanted to stay at Fort Wilderness in a cabin but since we are already staying at Copper Creek that seems a little too similar?
Maybe Art of Animation- DD5 loves Ariel, we have never stayed there or been on the skyliner

Waitlist and stalk for a studio(only have enough for a studio those nights)
I was able to grab 1 night in a studio at Copper Creek that Friday so I waitlisted the Sat. Disney also has the Sat. for cash so that’s an option….

I keep coming back to Fort Wilderness but it’s close to $1300 for the 2 nights plus a golf cart. That really digs into my budget for this trip since we are saving for another Aulani trip and hoping to add on at Poly 2.

The only open rooms for those 2 dates is a 1 BR std at SSR.

Lol. I’m a stalker. Since we decided to drop Legoland this morning I’ve been stalking all day. I have been able to grab Fri at Copper Creek in a studio and then dropped that for a studio at Poly.
Now I am only homeless that Sat. Will try stalking and waitlisting a standard Poly studio but need a backup plan.

If I need to pay cash I’m looking at
Fort Wilderness in a cabin for $1315 plus golf cart
Art of Animation $592
Swan $400 (have some credit card points to get to that amount)

I think my main dilemma is whether or not Fort Wilderness is worth the extra over the other two. I am looking for lots of Christmas spirit on this trip.

Where do others stay during the holiday time when out of points/too close to find something dvc?

I usually check Swan & Dolphin but I’m a sucker for Crescent Lake.

Your little kids will love Art of Animation and will probably think the skyliner is pretty cool too. I’d stay there and save some money.
