Can I just say that this thread is awesome?
Usually with every trip, I go through some kind of mid-life-resort decision crisis... lol, and it's no different now!
Made the decision after years and years to finally try AKL and luckily was able to rent points for AKL Villas
Unfortunately, they didn't have availability for all the days we were staying, so... a surprise split stay.
I ended up booking Poly under room only, hoping that maybe I'll get a code between now and the end of Oct.
I love Poly.. it's familiar and it's a great resort. It's also on the monorail, which I like.. However.......
The kids and I have already been to the Poly and it might be good to try something new. I am also worried about staying there bringing up bad memories. Last time the kids and I went, it was with my ex husband. It was during the point that our marriage was almost completely fallen apart, but we were trying to hold the ends up together by sheer magic. It was a pleasant enough trip, but very sad. It was also the last real time that ex dh would actively spend with them. We ended up getting divorced shortly after, and last year he passed away from cancer.
We're already going during Oct, which is the time when we'd always used to go as a family (That was at my insistence. I love halloween). So, I am a little worried.
So. Do I stay with Poly and try to make better memories? Or do we try a different resort just to be on the safe side?
