Why do we all stress so much!!

[Mercy]

Why is it that we all stress so much on which resort to pick? I'm not criticizing, I do the same.

I was just reading post after post of people trying to decide which resort to stay in. I mean some people have been to DW numerous times and they still stress about which resort to choose. Now I don't get to go to DW all that often, once every 3-4 years, so I guess picking the resort is maybe more important to me. Or do you think that all the stress and choosing is part of the fun of planning?

I do tend to obsess about my choice of resorts. I do this mostly because I so totally enjoy the whole planning process; it's almost as much fun as the vacation itself. Another reason is that I want to make sure my family gets the most out of our vacation.

I spend a lot of time picking a resort simply because we spend a lot of time AT the resort. We've been many times and we take it at a much slower pace now. We like to spend lots of time just relaxing and soaking up the atmosphere of the resort - enjoying their pools, recreation, restaurants, exploring the grounds, etc. So, for us, the resort is very important. It's a major part of the vacation, not just a place to sleep and shower.

I guess the biggest reason I stress about it is because it is such a major expense! If you are spending that much money, you want to be sure to make the right decision.
I decided on the Poly because of location, but still wonder if we would have prefered BC.
We too don't go very often, so I try to make the trip as good as it can be.

I do love the planning process. I also worry that if I pick a new Resort, I won't love it as much as the last one we stayed at. We stayed at POP in January and I hated it. Call me a Disney Snob but, Resorts are important to me. We really use our Resort when we vacation. I am head over heels with the AKL. So much so that I am wondering if I will be able to love the Beach Club or the Grand Floridian as much as my AKL! AM I crazy??.....It is the Grand Floridian!!

I wouldn't say I "stress" over it! I just get obsessed! It's usually a matter of cost to me. I feel like I'm really splurging when I stay at a moderate! And we like to go to a different one each time to try them ALL! But so far our budget has only stretched enough to move up to moderates!

I hesitate to change as well. I really enjoyed the FW cabins and WL, but I'm not sure whether to stick with my experienced resorts or try something different (AKL or Poly).

...I can honestly say I didn't stress or think twice about it. I knew where we wanted to stay,made reservations and that's it!!

I think it's all part of the planning. Stress is normal. You have good and bad stress. Picking a resort is good stress to me

I used to stress out on where to stay, what park to go first, where to eat, what attractions/ride no to be missed, etc... Since we've been to Disney many times, we just take it easy and slow. The only thing that is stressing me out right now is that...I can't find a good air fare for April!! We may not even go if I can't find a decent fare.
