have you ever took a chance?

As everyone knows the 180 day calender will not be out until the end of the month. I already fear, that my dates I have been firm on will not work due to work reasons. So I'm thinking of changing my plan. Book from a tues check out on sunday. I can stay one more night and we would go before the cruise. Currently we stay one night and then go on the cruise and come back for 4 days. My DD thinks leave everything as is,and if the cards fall then its was supposed to be. I think are you nuts I could always change back. THe plan is AKL SV view. I'm not opposed to staying at SSR or OKW or WL. As a DVC member what would you do?

For the one night prior to the cruise, are you staying on points?

I guess, for me, I would find it a bit hectic to stay at the World for only one night before going on the cruise (because there's so much to do!), but that's just me. We are staying at the World for 3 nights on points, followed by the 4 night cruise. I would love to make it longer, but I can't have the kids miss any more school!

we are staying the night before club level. The plan is just to enjoy the AKL, no plans to go to the parks. The go to Port Canaveral in the am, so we are not rushed at the airport.

Gotcha! That sounds good - I would love to stay Club Level - maybe we'll try it soon. As for your question, I don't think there's anything wrong with looking into tweaking the dates. As you said, you can always change it around.

I think if you can squeeze in an extra night, then go for it. As you're not too worried about where you stay, then you can probably afford to wait. If you have your heart set on somewhere (and from reading your posts, I'm not 100% if you are set on AKL club level), then I'd book sooner rather than later to avoid disappointment.

I was going to suggest getting that extra night. We did the same thing before our cruise in August. BUT because I waited I wasn't able to get a second night at AKV, so we took OKW - but we were pleasantly surprised by the incredible amount of room in a 1Bdrm (it was our first stay there).

We didn't go to the parks on either of the two days before the cruise. There was PLENTY to do at AKV (and at OKW). Enjoy yourself!
