Happy Tuesday Morning!!!!!
(147) Days Till our trip!
OMG! What a rollercoaster of a day yesterday. And I am still conflicted!!! I need some advise!!!!!
So, I got up yesterday morning and while trying to get lunches packed and all that other good first day back to school after Spring Break I peaked at whether WL would be part of the discounts. TECHNICALLY, it WAS listed. But I put our dates in and nothing was available for Free dinning or the 25% off. So, I dropped it finished what I was doing and headed to work.
After I got settled and some things done, I logged back in to see what other hotel were offered and if it would make sense to switch. The only resorts that I was willing to switch to was Animal Kingdom Lodge with a Savannah View or Beach Club/Yacht Club. And BOTH were available for the 25% discount. Well, Yacht Club was available, but I was ok with that, I am really looking to gain access to Stormalong Bay! So, I priced them up and sent DH an email. And went back to work.
*****OH, And I forgot the another piece of info. We booked airfare Sunday Night!!!*****
Woo Hoo!!! We looked at flight times and decided it made more sense to flight in Monday night instead of first thing Tuesday morning! Which means a whole day Tuesday AND an extra set of meal credits! So, Regadless, we need to add a night to our trip!
So, back to the rollercoaster of a day... After sending the email to DH, I started thinking about which hotel I really wanted. And I started getting really excitied about staying at
Animal Kingdom Lodge. Having a Savannah View room is def on my bucket list. And this is to be my 40th Birthday trip... So, it would be perfect! So, I spent the day thinking about how I would change our plans if we switched to Animal Kingdom Lodge.
- I should try and get BOMA reservations...
- We will need to take the bus everywhere, yes but we will have animals outside our room.
- This will make going to Sanaa so much easier!
And then I get home with the girls, we do homework, clean, cook, all that good after school stuff. And finally I can look at some stuff again. And I look at info about
Yacht Club to see what the construction is that the site said was going on. And then I look at all the pics of Stormalong Bay and
Now I REALLLY want to go there! Sigh!!!!! We have two good swim days planned and it will be hot still September. perfect time to stay there.
Now, I think about how I would want to change our plans to stay there.
- I should try and add in Cape May Cafe
- I think I still have Beaches and Cream dinner reservation, Yes!
- Can we do both of those and Trattoria al Forno?
- Oh the pool!!!!
So, DH comes home and we put the little ladies to bed, cause this trip is a surprise, so we can't talk about it in front of them... DH wants to stick with WL because of the boat. I explain that we can take a boat to EPCOT & HS from Yacht Club. I say we should take advantage of one of the deals since is available and adding a day will hike our cost up. He agrees!
So, now which one?!? We talk it out and decide that we can stay at Animal Kingdom next time, my sister and her boyfriend want to stay there, so we will "save" it for when we go with them. I am ok with this reasoning.... So we decide on Yacht Club!!!! Woo Hoo. Sweet Pool! We eat dinner and I log in to call to change it.
All Circuits are busy...
Try a little later

UGH! So, I log onto the computer and see you can change your reservation online. I try doing that. Keep getting kicked off. FINALLY get a "good" time and start making out selections. NOW it says Yacht Club isn't available anymore!
Whomp Waa... I think, it's ok I knew it was possible by waiting till the evening, things wouldn't work out. I figure I will try and call, maybe it's just an online issue. I try calling....

Sooooooo, I totally switch gears and just try and add the extra night. I was starting to see visions of having to stay one night at somewhere else and DH being crabby and all that good stuff. I log back in start doing that.
And SOME HOW, there are now 25% availbility for WL! So, I feverishly try and get that booked. And after much persistance I got it!!!! I was able to add a night (with dinning) and still manage to save $200!!!!
I book it. Do a little happy dance in my head.
And THEN my head starts going in circles. But what about Stomalong Bay! That pool! DH says it's up to me. But that is no help!!!!
I look and if I just do a regular search, techinically it still show up as a choice with the discount. I think I could probably call and still switch.... But now that I got the discount for WL, switching to Yacht Club will be $700 more. Or if you want to look at it ($200 more than what we were paying before the discounts were release) So, I don't know what to do.
I don't know what to do!!!!!I am torn. My plans are pretty much set based around WL but Stormalong Bay is calling my name!!!! Help! Opinions?!?
Wilderness Lodge Pool.
Or Stormalong Bay Pool!
I know that we will be happy at either resort. I know that for sure. Part of me is worried that WL is going to become to $$$ for us and this could be our last stay here. But then our usually schedule time of year to come is February and it sin't really pool whether, so I feel like we should take advantage of Yacht Club this trip. See, I could go in circles with this all day!!!!
