Again, I LOVE the Poly. But stay at the Beach Club.

But you have two teens. They'll appreciate StormAlong Bay. And they'll appreciate the easy access to Epcot and to DHS, where they can find more...

My daughters LOVED the hula lessons at the Poly. It was our last day in 2008, as Tropical Storm Faye was closing in and we were waiting for the DME bus to pick us up. We had half an hour to kill in...

OK, the 2 week requirement makes it an easy decision then. Thenks so much for the info. Maybe I'll ask in the parks and see if it can be done on the spot somehow.

Thanks so much for the info!

I just started to consider this.

I've started a Photopass share with 2 other families on another site I frequent. Neither of them has been to WDW before (or at least not since they were kids.) I...

Another important consideration is the time of year.

Stormalong Bay in August is a BIG draw. In December, maybe not so much. We spend a good 4 hours each afternoon at the resort pool, so for us a...

I'll let you know in a week and a half!

We LOVE LOVE LOVE the Poly!!! We've stayed there the last 2 trips, and adore the place.

But in the interests of saving a little money, I looked at the...

We leave in THREE DAYS!!!

Here are some things we're bringing that you may have forgotten:

- a power strip for all those rechargers

- a hanging shoe rack.. know the ones I mean?? Something...

Don't miss:
- Garden Grocer. Have breakfast stuff and bottled water delivered to your resort and make your life easier!

- Peter Pan. There's a reason why there are lines all day long; it's...

No, that's the other downside.

But looking at the prices of next year's DDP, I'm not sure it's all that great a loss.

We're going DDP-less this trip. (Have I mentioned lately that we leave in...

Yes, you do.

I had a Deluxe Alcove (sleeps 6) room booked at the Dolphin this time last year (for this week's trip) using the teacher discount. I don't have the numbers in front of me, but I think it was costing...

We're down to SINGLE DIGITS!!!!

We leave for WDW a week from Wednesday, and I can't wait!!!!!

My 12 year old daughter is obsessed, she asks if we can 'talk Disney' every few hours!!

Totally stealing your touring plan!!!

My 12 and 14 year olds also LOVE Indy Speedway. It's inexplicable, but they love it.

Honestly, that's kind of what I was thinking. We always do a pool break in the afternoon anyway, and the kids would LOVE Beaches and Cream.

Still not making any hard decions, but leaning in that...

We've always done it before. Not to save money, but because the DDP fit in with how we vacation anyway, and we loved the convenience of having our meals pre-paid.

But this year we're getting YES...

This will be our 3rd trip to WDW since 2008. (My husband, me, and our 3 kids ages 14, 12 and 9.)

Because we're doing the YES classes, we're skipping the DDP for the first time. But I did make one...

Not to mention the fact that the resulting sunburn would be wicked!!

We're both teachers. We always go in August.

It's going to be hot and humid either way. But we may as well take advantage of Value season in the resorts.

Besides, I hate going on vacation right...

My favorite iine from that thread: "If Disney napkins are that important for your kids school lunches, grab some at Walmart. If you just don't want to pay for them, is it really Disney that's being...

In the interests of full disclosure, I have to admit that I'm a teacher. I can't complain about a lack of vacation days.

But, just to make you feel even better, I'll admit that I teach math. Most...

I teach high school math. There are numbers called imaginary numbers, based on the idea that the number i= the square root of negative one.

(No, I'm not just rambling, there is a point.)

The...

You were happy with the 20% discount before you heard about free dining, right? No more shoulda/coulda/woulda. You're paying $210 less than a lot of other people at the same resort the same dates....

I'm really looking forward to our YES classes!! It's Disney's best kept secret!

Fantasmic TERRIFIED my girls 4 years ago (they were 5 and 8 respectively.) My husband had to take them out.

I enjoyed it, but not enough to have to see it again.

I would hit a park for a few hours, then plan on an early dinner and an early night. You're going to be pretty tired.
