    I would leave it open and decide what you want to do that day.

    Deluxe vs Moderate vs Value - How to choose??

    I love the deluxe, but can only afford it if not paying rack rate, and I never pay rack rate. I have stayed moderate and value, and somewhat agree that moderate, for me, is not really worth the extra money. If I'm spending time at the resort, I stay deluxe. If I'm staying in the park from...

    Beach Club vs. Yacht Club (Yes, yet again)

    I have stayed at both, generally prefer Beach Club. Was booked for Beach Club for July, but switched to Yacht Club for a much better rate.

    Beaches and Cream: 5 to 6?

    We've done six in a booth. Two adults, two older teens, one younger teen, and one preteen. Worked fine.

    if $$ was no issue

    IMO, the kids will like AoA better, mine did. Do a split stay if you have time. Disney makes a split stay very easy.

    Does anyone require their teens to pay for anything?

    " Maybe I need to flip the narrative and ask that they help with her flight, and she fronts her own spending money versus just being given money to spend." This. IMO, it's not really your job to teach her responsibility, that's her parents' job. However, having her earn her spending money is...

    Trying to help plan 5 y.o. niece's FIRST TRIP! on her single mom's budget - help with hotel options!

    I would do a Little Mermaid room at AoA. I would get two rooms and not share, just because too much togetherness can become tiresome. We have stayed in the Little Mermaid rooms. It's my (now 11 years old) daughter's favorite place to stay. The walk IMO is not bad. It's an awesome resort. I...

    Here's your chance to be creative......!

    We went for our 20th, first adult only trip We stayed three nights at Disney in a different deluxe each night. It was our first time staying deluxe (with the kids we have to get two rooms). I'm spoiled now. We enjoyed the resorts mostly. Booked dining according to where we were staying...

    Considering canceling and could use some reality checks/advice

    Go, you earned it. Make your ADRs and FPs. Early morning and late nights should have less people. Try to just relax and enjoy it. Spend time enjoying your resort, you pay a lot for that too. If it gets too crowded take time to explore other resorts and enjoy some of the activities and snacks...

    Your Dream WDW Vacation

    I would do a split say between GF and BC. Monorail resort and Epcot area resort. Can check out a number of other resort's Christmas decorations and close to the parks (except AK) for their Christmas activities. I'm doing a split stay this summer between AKL and BC (my two favorites). My kids...

    Fantasmic - Is it worth staying for if it means tired, cranky kids?

    Honestly, I would plan to go. It's the beginning of your first trip. You know your kids, how cranky are they going to be? How much do you want to see the show? Ask them if they want to stay and see it. Play it by ear and see how things are going once you're there. Be flexible and follow...

    Give up a park day for the pool... why?!

    I use to think the same and wanted to spend every minute in the parks. However, after going several times (and realizing I was driving my family crazy) I realized the resort was a significant expense also and I like to spend some time enjoying the resorts. We have gone several times for just a...

    Chicago Friends need help planning trip

    We were in Chicago last week-end. Very cold, didn't go outside too much, but fortunately, there are a lot of places you can get too while staying inside. Chicago is a wonderful city. Love Garrett popcorn (caramel with cashews is my favorite), came home with three different varieties. We ate...

    I haven't been to Akershus, have been to CRT. I don't see how anything can beat being in the castle!

    Having a hard time staying excited after reading so many terrible reviews on here

    We did San Angel Inn about a year ago. I enjoyed it. Loved the atmosphere and the food was good. We've also stayed at the Poly, it's a beautiful resort. We love 'Ohana's, it's a must do every trip. I've also been to CRT and Chef Mickey's. Love them both, can't tell you much about the food...

    Cape may cafe?

    Super tacky or nbd???

    I say NBD. You pay a fortune for the food and atmosphere at Disney restaurants. If it's food you paid for (family style, off the menu etc.) take it with you. I would go as far to say if it's on your kids plate from a buffet and they haven't eaten it yet, pack it up. I would not get extra to...
