I am hoping you find all of this as funny as I did.
I have been talking about going to WDW with our son for close to a year now. (Not a lot, because my husband hates making plans far in advance, but enough so that he knows that this isn't going away.) We talked quite a bit when I made our placeholder reservation at 499 days out, and he was aghast at how much this would cost, especially after he talked to some of his co-workers. Now I agree that Disney is expensive, and I know that we could save a lot of money if we stay off property, and if we only go for 4 days, but I have been wanting to stay at the CR since I saw it in 1972! And since I will be saving up and paying for this, I don't want to switch to something else, unless an emergency comes up.
So a couple of days ago, DH asks me, "So where are we booked? At the animal park?"
So I told him that we are going to the Contemporary, and explained that it was the A frame hotel that was one of the original hotels on the property.
"Wait, I remember something like that. Is that the one that the monorail runs thru?" Well yes it does. That's one of the benefits of staying there.
"But if it goes through and doesn't stop, what's the point?"
So I explained that there are 2 tracks, one an express from the TTC (and I had to explain what that was), and the other that stops at the 3 hotels around the lake.
"So we can go downstairs and get on a monorail without going outside? Why would anyone stay anywhere else?"
I have no idea.
Doing your homework has its benefits.
