HOLY COW! This is happening! My last trip was February 2014, FIVE LONG YEARS AGO! I am constantly on these boards dreaming and making virtual trip plans, so I am on top of all the new things going on.
So, now I just have to put all my knowledge to practice and GO FOR IT! I just updated this first post to reflect how my plans are now to go in June 2020 instead of October 2019.
I cannot wait! There are not many rooms open, especially in the price range I want, so I ended up booking All Star Sports. But just switched resorts yesterday to CSR. Right now I plan to go to MK my favorite of all parks since it will be my only full day at WDW. I have not decided all my plans yet. I want to check out both Hollywood Studios and AK since I have not seen Pandora yet. But then I also would like to go to EPCOT to ride two of my favorite rides Soarin and Test Track. And I have not experienced the new version of Soarin yet. DECISIONS, DECISIONS!
I just added a poll since I am wavering between which resort I should stay at on this trip. I have only stayed at a moderate in the past, CSR, CBR and PORFQ. I loved all three for different reasons. I loved the small size of PORFQ but it is one of the highest in price right now and I want to keep my budget in place with a value or low priced moderate. I am hoping for a discount but right now I am booked at rack rate to guarantee a room since I want a standard room since they are less than a water/pool or preferred room level at both value and mod levels.
Options:
1. Stay with CSR standard room as booked - I have stayed before back in 2008 and really liked it. Great theme and relaxing after a day at the parks.
2. Save money about five hundred dollars to stay at a value. I had originally booked All Star Sports because of the price and my son would like the theme. (My son may or may not be joining me on this trip now).
3. Go with a Disney Springs hotel since they have the same benefits - 60 day Fastpasses, etc.
