Okay so thanks for all the answers! I am feeling totally informed today. As well as totally insane.

So....... it has come to my attention, and I will not be sharing any further details just yet, that I will be possibly heading to WDW for a long weekend in May of next year. I would say a Thursday night/Friday morning through Sunday with a good 2 full park days. While this is great for 2 reasons- a sure plan for 2009 and F&GF. It brings up some new things for me to ponder and Rob already thinks I am nuts and stops listening when I say WDW, our TA is going to possibly fly cross country and kill me for another change, and my family has never been to WDW so they dont get it! So I NEED YOU!!!

This is a total "what would you do situation" and I want the truth. So... what would you do! Here is some of the scenarios racing through my mind...

Switch our vacation from 12/30-1/4 to instead the 12/19-12/23 and try to get a standard room at WL over a Woods View, which would make up the diff between the holiday/value rate. We would save a few bucks that would pay for something special like maybe the Photopass Photog or maybe the Segway Tour! Plus, we would return, have the Christmas holidays, and then I would still have a full 10 days before I would have to go back to work- so there wouldn't be the rush of getting home at midnight the day I go back to work. The only real con to this is that we would lose almost 2 days of fun!

Switch back to Thanksgiving. This is a much TIGHTER time financially for me because my childhood best friend is getting married in Virginia Beach over Columbus Day and my cousin is getting married the weekend afterwards. So I figure by Thanksgiving I will just be bouncing back. BUT the rates are a little cheaper AND the crowds are much tamer. (and the weather is warmer)


Leave dates as is. Consider a tour or something similar for the two super busy days upon our arrival. Save between now and then (maybe cancel Mystic all together, wait for a discount on Mary Poppins tickets, etc etc to put a few dollars away at a time.) I feel like I sacrificed a lot (busy busy busyness... warm weather... rates) to get a trip that straddled 08-09 assuming I couldnt go in 09 and now this pops up. Should I just leave it be? Not change the actual details but instead change my plans for the rest of this year?


I just don't know what to do. If we leave the trip as is we still owe a good $1200 each plus whatever extras we want. I don't want to feel like I am overdoing it when we are going to be back in a few short months. BUT I do feel like the may trip will be nice and easy to get a cheaper resort (POFQ maybe) to make that short, sweet, and easy on the wallet.


What would you do?????
