But I know it won't be a reality for some time....maybe when the kids are older and maybe when we're making more money....maybe one of my books will sell a million copies and then I can go deluxe!!

We didn't experience too much at our resort, but we got of the bus one night at All Star Sports and OMG!!

When we went it was cheerleading competition as my brother was in the pee-wee football championships. Oh goodness---I vowed NEVER to come back during cheerleading week if I ever came back. All I saw were curlers and heard millions of chants. I have nothing against cheerleaders but it was a tad too much at onceElaine and Brandon Carderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07605572115326978086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8043892030581943357.post-76623033423150607152011-02-03T13:24:47.599-05:002011-02-03T13:24:47.599-05:00Thanks Melissa!!!

But I kick myself because we didn't even walk around the place and see everything there!! But our next trip will be at that resort..my daughter wants to go back there since she was only 2 when went the first time!<br /><br />Yay Beth! You figured it out!! And I so agree...I don't care where I lay my head as long as I'm there!!!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17401931638397651614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8043892030581943357.post-78019474848486332442011-02-02T21:56:43.010-05:002011-02-02T21:56:43.010-05:00We're DVC now (Saratoga Springs), but we'v...We're DVC now (Saratoga Springs), but we've stayed at every other level! We've stayed at the Grand Floridian (honeymoon--no kids!), Wilderness Lodge, Animal Kingdom Lodge, Old Key West, Coronado Springs, Caribbean Beach, Port Orleans (Riverside/Dixie Landings) and French Quarter, Dolphin, Pop Century and I'm sure I'm missing a few others! It's hard to pick a favorite--they all have their own special charm. Wilderness Lodge has an awesome pool, OKW has nice big rooms in a relaxed, Florida setting, Animal Kingdom Lodge has, well, animals, Pop Century was fun with the kids and Grand Floridian was nice for it's quick access to MK and the monorail. I'm happy to stay just about anywhere in WDW, just as long as I'm staying in WDW!mickeymdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01887427115405142424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8043892030581943357.post-14502615564680809852011-02-02T20:48:12.165-05:002011-02-02T20:48:12.165-05:00Great write up!

I have also stayed at all levels of resort and I literally hold All Star Movies so close to my heart because it was my first disney trip hotel! lol! <br /><br />I added you to my pages link, btw! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8043892030581943357.post-37398056437221492452011-02-02T14:34:13.125-05:002011-02-02T14:34:13.125-05:00For us, if we stayed deluxe, it would mean a trip ...For us, if we stayed deluxe, it would mean a trip only every 2-3 years. And that just doesn't work for me!!! LOL!! I don't mind staying at a value if it means we can go every year. We spend so little time at the resort...even when we did stay at a mod, we didn't increase our resort time. I think the only thing that would increase the time we spent at the resort was if we could also increase the length of our stay. We would do more down time at the resort if we had 2 or 3 more days at WDW. 8-9 days is what we need just to do everything we want in the parks!!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17401931638397651614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8043892030581943357.post-9498853444403211382011-02-02T14:20:43.185-05:002011-02-02T14:20:43.185-05:00We've stayed at all levels of the Disney hotel...We've stayed at all levels of the Disney hotels from the Value resorts all the way to the Deluxe category of Garden Suites at the Boardwalk Inn. I have to say that given the choice, I'd rather stay in the Deluxe.<br /><br />Why? They offer so much more in the way of entertainment for your buck, but the sad thing is they don't come cheap.<br /><br />I stayed off property before also. While that may be cheaper (not always) it's a pain in the butt transportation wise.<br /><br />Sigh. I wish we had money to go to Disney this year.Sandra Sookoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08864799097052526762noreply@blogger.com
