Which Resort is best for this WL Fan ???

[goofy4prez]

As you can see I love the WL, but we have given the reigns over to our soon to be 16 year old DD with choice of resort. She also loves the WL but wants to do something different. We are once again going to be staying at the WL the day after thanksgiving. This trip we are now planning for will be 5/30/14 - 6/6/14.

DD has it down to three resorts and the prices below all include 7 nights, park hoppers, and the DDP:

AKL CL Savanna view $6381. (she is beginning to be less thrilled with AKL though)

CR Tower TPV $6901 ( She really loves the contemporary look)

POR Royal Guest Rooms $4515 (what princess don't like the look of these rooms?)

Also another question concerning discounts and bounceback offers. I can't seem to find anywhere on the Internet or here on the DIS the exclusion dates for promo's (historical). I would be hoping that a discount would be available for that week right after Memorial Day and just before the big summer season hits. Also, for those of you who have used a bounceback in the past do you know the exclusion dates.

I know this was a lot thrown out and sure could you some help from my DIS friends out there.

Out of those three I would choose CR TPV. We are huge WL lovers and are staying at CR next year.

But, of ones not on your list, have you considered the Epcot resorts. We stayed at YC in April and loved it. We found it to be very quiet and relaxing with the same type of atmosphere as WL. Plus, the location of the YC cannot be beat!

Out of the 3 choices we have only stayed at AKL. AKL is an amazing resort and although we haven't tried CL, I have read nothing but great things about it. However, since your DD is getting less excited about AKL, I would say go with CR TPV. We haven't stayed at the CR, but we are booked for a couple of nights in Decemeber. The CR has never appealed to me as far as theme/decor, but the more I research it and see pics, the more excited I get to stay there.

Exclusion dates for BB offers vary with each BB. Here is a link from mousesavers that will give you a list of historical discounts for the past few years

Good luck and happy planning .

That is exactly what I was looking for with the bounce back. While I know there is no guarantee seeing that it was available right after Memorial Day gives me hope when I am there in November; Thank you.
