Sounds like a great plan! However, I can't imagine going to WDW without going to the parks!!
But since you're not going to the parks, I think AKL or The Beach Club would be an excellent choice for your kids! (esp. AKL with the Savannah View!)
I am allowing DH to have his vacation. We have been to WDW three years in a row, planned mostly by me. The 7 days straight of parks did him and honestly me in last year. I need a more leisurely trip, and honestly I can enjoy Disney sans the parks. Then I can get a lot of park time the next trip.
I like your plans for next summer! I know that wherever you end up staying and whatever you end up doing, you will have a blast!!!
I totally agree. Any of the DVC hotels would be a new experience, so I know we would love it.
Those all look like fabulous choices. You know what my vote would be, BC is
, but AKL looks wonderful too. You're going to have a marvelous vacation, and I'll be praying for a milder winter. You guys got hit hard last winter!!
BC is #1 choice, but I am not sure we can get that lucky to get it.
I like your plans for next summer.....they sound SO relaxing!!!! What made you decide to do no parks?
This year with three kids, seven days was a lot, especially with the heat. I want a more relaxing trip, and Luke at almost three could experience a lot more than at almost two. Next year he will still be in need of naps, etc. We won't be at WDW that many days either, so I think the ticket costs would be crazy ...
My vote is either BC or AKV.
I say BC because of Stormalong Bay. Your kids love to swim and there is so much to do at the Boardwalk.
On the other hand, AKV has so many activities through the day and Kidani has that awesome water area.
That's a tough choice!
I was looking into Vero Beach for us next summer. It looks SO nice!
Maybe you should come to Vero when we are there..... that would be super fun! Our kids would have fun together.
You can't go wrong with either BC or AKL! I've only read one TR with details on Vero Beach so it will be interesting to hear how ya'll liked it. I think that would be a nice vacation.
I am always scanning DVC posts on Vero Beach... I cannot wait to relax at the beach. We have not been since Hannah was almost three so it will be fun to see the kids in the ocean.
Hey these are great plans!!
YAY! Looks like a a fun relaxing Disney vacation! I have head so many positive things about Vero Beach, btw!!! So a great choice!!! November will come soon enough!!! A few days at a Disney resort is definitely a great vacation plus as well! So I am sure whatever it turns out to be you will have a wonderful time! I really enjoyed reading your "Top 10" list -- it was fun recalling those moments that you had with your family. I really enjoyed your TR!!
Here's to NO snow days!!! (or at least not as many!!!!
)
I can get a Disney fix without visiting the parks. We did a 5 day trip one spring break and only hit MK one day... and were totally busy and had a blast at POR.
Darn it! We will miss you by a mere 3 days! Now my scheming mind is at work.....
I think you all would have a blast at Beach Club with SAB and the Boardwalk in such short walking distance!
BUT.......
We haven't stayed at Kidani yet and I have heard the most wonderful comments about that pool and the resort activities!
You all would have a great time no matter where you stay and you have such awesome choices!
You are kidding me... three days, that is even with you staying a few after the cruise or not? I am afraid we cannot get there earlier than that ...but I am scheming too.
Such fun plans. Maybe do a spilit stay and check out 2 of them??
DH said no. Vero and one Disney Resort. (to be honest packing and moving three times with three kids makes my head hurt thinking about it). But I honestly am packing light- swimsuits and not much else and I can do free laundry!
I think your plans for next summer are awesome! Personally, I'd stay at Beach or Yacht club. I think your family would LOVE Stormalong Beach and would really get your DVC points worth there.
BC would be fun while we fit in a studio... and perhaps we could pool hop to the Boardwalk. I would love a vacation of just pool hopping and ranking the pools!
