Oh, no worries about your sanity here....although I might not be the best one to judge right now. I am actually embarrassed to admit what I am about to admit to.....
See down there in my sig, it says that we are staying at the Poly. Well, that is not what we started out with, not even our second decision, nor our third.
You see in the beginning, there was the moderate. Gabby has gotten used to moderate hotels with all of her business travels and Motel 6 and Super 8, just doesn't cut it anymore, which is fine by me, but in the end, all I ever ask for is that my hotel room be clean, safe, air-conditioned/heated, and bug free. So, when we started planning this 40th birthday bash, we were looking at CSR again, because we liked CSR a lot back in 2005.
But, we found a bump in the road. Don't ya just love those? The bump was found when we had a quickie stay at CBR last September. We had to board our 4 Chihuahuas, two of which have health problems. They didn't do so well being boarded at the fancy, spoiled them rotten pet resort, so we decided that we would for the sake of the babies rent an RV and stay at FW.
Then we found another bump.....well, more like same old bump, just wider. Beanie, who has a bad heart, started to do worse. So, even with starting her on meds each day, it is now more of a necessity than ever that we limit her exposure to situations that might cause her to become over excited. Cancel the FW plan and work to find a new vet because the old vet's boarding facility was just not going to cut it.
So, back on the moderate path, but I love the look of POR, so we decided to do that one. You would think that would be enough, but oh no, more is coming.
Then, being the most wonderful life partner on the planet that she is, Gabby said, "Honey, let's bling out the budget and stay anywhere you want and do anything you want within the OMG HUGE budget" that she presented me with. Ok, a blinging and a dream fulfilling, I went. AKL SV is my ultimate WDW resort experience. So, we booked it.
BIG BUMP...all of that blasted AKL construction. Since this is supposed to be a blinged out trip of a lifetime, I didn't want to have it messed up by expansion, improvement, whatever they call themselves doing over there, so we changed again. This time, I thought that it might be nice to try a DVC resort, and OKW seemed to be the perfect fit.
Next and final.....well, God, I hope it's final change......we had a talk today. Gabby is a FL native and has been to WDW more times than she can count. When her grandmother would take them and stay onsite, usually for one of the girl's birthdays, she would always stay at CR, even when Gabby would beg to stay at the Poly, just once....on her birthday. So, I decided that I should give a little something back to her for spoiling me on my 40th. It's not like the Poly isn't my 2nd dream resort choice anyway.
So, we are now booked at the Poly to fulfill Gabby's lifelong dream and a dream of mine too.
See.....you aren't so crazy afterall are ya'?
