YAY I'm changing again!

When I planned our trip we were going to stay 6 nights at WL. I was so happy about that I could hardly stand it because we'll be there after Thanksgiving and the Lodge just screams Christmas and relaxing to me. Then, I got laid off for the summer 2 months before I thought I was going to and I didn't think I could afford the lodge. I could have done a moderate but I just didn't want a moderate so finally last week I had to sit down and really look at my budget and what I'd be able to save after I go back to work in August and decided there was just no way I could afford the Lodge this time and we'd stay at Pop. I was bummed because Pop just doesn't say Christmas to me. LOL Now tonight I got a phone call and my parents are giving us a gift of the difference so we can stay at the Lodge and have the vacation the kids and I had planned. Pixie dust was definitely at work here. This is totally out of character for my parents and came as a HUGE surprise to me. Someone may have to pry my fingers off of the door and drag me kicking and screaming from the lobby on our last day!

Bless your parents!! Make sure the kids send them a postcard from WL telling them how AWESOME their stay was, and maybe bring back a cool Christmas ornament/decoration as a thank you (we stayed at WL during the Christmas season and it was terrific...have a great time!)

Minerva, what a beautiful gift from your parents. They should like wonderful people.

Remember, if something happens and you have to downgrade your vacation to a different resort than the one you had planned on, you would still be spending the holidays in WDW and it would be magical no matter where you stayed. I have stayed in 18 of the Disney resorts so far (Wilderness Lodge and Pop Century included). I would pick any one of them over what I have at home any day (especially since they come with housekeeping service and I don't have to make my own bed!).

Have a wonderful holiday vacation.
