I haven't been on the boards today, so I have fallen about 100 pages behind. I'm not even going to attempt to catch up for once.
I was just wondering what families of 5-6 decided to if you didn't get your resort of choice? We were going to do AoA, but that obviously didn't work out. It was expensive, but the resort is just, wow!
We considered AsMu suites or 2 rooms at POP, but I just felt it wasn't worth the money. We thought about staying offsite, too. Eventually we decided for as much as it costs now - going from POR to getting bumped out of that category - maybe we would just go every other year instead. If we change our minds, we'll stay offsite, but I don't think we will.
This is our first trip, so we have decided to stay onsite. We are a family of six, staying at POR OCt 23-28. We did not get fd, but we decided to stick with it. I couldn't go down to Pop bc I can't imaging sharing a double bed with my husband, it is vacation, I need to be comfy! I know we will try to get to Disney several more times as my youngest 2 are still very small. I feel pretty certain that this will be the only time we stay onsite. I can't justify the price when you can get a house with a private pool for less than $100 a night, depending on when you go. I am so disappointed in the fact that we aren't getting a discount. That is half the reason I chose October.
