I was hoping for some help/opinions.
Backstory.... Last year we had GF Sugarloaf booked for our 9 year wedding anniversary. We were married at the GF and our reception was at the Boardwalk so celebrating at Disney is sentimental. We were traveling with my then 19 month old and we were set to arrive just a few days after the horrible alligator attack. It was a little too close to home and I was a wreck thinking about being there with my toddler (not for fear of safety, just from sadness of the situation). We switched to a split stay between Beach Club Stone Harbor and the Poly.
This year is our tenth anniversary. So of course I want to celebrate at Disney. I was thinking of doing a private dinner at the GF because V&A's is not an option when traveling with a 2 1/2 year old. I am so torn on where to stay. I really want to stay at GF but we probably can't swing Royal Palm so we would stay in Sugar Loaf. Still, I could probably stay at BC (the pool is great for my toddler but we have stayed there twice in the last year) or Boardwalk (because we stayed there on our wedding night in a garden suite) for up to 1k less. We have stayed at all of the deluxes and have stayed at BW, Beach, and Poly concierge level so trying something new is not a point because there isn't too much new to us. I just want good service, food and amenities.
What would you all do? What do you recommend for a 10th anniversary trip with a toddler, or what is your favorite? We are DVC and have AP's so I should be able to secure some kind of discount....
Thank you!!!
