We're POP 9/10-9/16 as well. Picked up water parks at DH's request. I went to them when he was 9 or so and raved about them when I told him about needing WP or PH for free dining. This will be our first family trip to Disney. It'll be me, DH, DS (4) and DD (13 months). He hasn't been in about 20 years and it's been 12 for me so we're really excited. :)

I have two DD age 4 and DD age 2... We have never stayed at a value but were hoping to keep it cheaper since we went last year... You are gonna LOVE it with the kids... My favorite part was seeing their faces light up... older DD loved the characters... younger one not so much... But the rides made up for that... She still talks about the tea cups and horses (carousel)... Hope we get this soon! So sleepy...
 
Trying again for advice - this is moving fast!

I was just playing around with booking, looking at options of ticket length etc., and I had a thought. If we get 5 day tickets with water park, it is almost the same price as getting 2 day tickets with water park and upgrading to deluxe dining. We would stay 6 nights. Would this in any possible way be worth it? We would do a half day in each park, hitting the highlights. We would have three free days to go to the water parks and enjoy our hotel pool and Disney Springs. We would have all kinds of dining credits, which we would use to splurge on as many 2 credit meals as possible. We are a family of 6, so a dinner show costs us at least $200, making the approximately $1000 deluxe upgrade still less expensive than paying out of pocket for the non-covered meals on the regular dining plan, if I am figuring right - although of course we wouldn't book so many reservations if we didn't have deluxe dining, but I could drive myself crazy with all the permutations.

Anyway - would any of you ever do that? Sacrifice park time for more of a freewheeling experience and go nuts on trying new restaurants that would traditionally be way too expensive for us?

No. We tried to stay away from the parks a few years ago and won't do it again. WE spend a lot of time on dining and are not commando in teh park,s but I could not stay for 6 days and only get two days in the parks.
