Happy Saturday Everyone!!!
I have hit the 180 Day Mark! I know I said this before but it is strange to not have to be booking dinning today. But also kind of nice. It is exciting a little, like I feel like this is a "regular" amount of time to be waiting for our trip! Does that make sense? Plus things are going to start getting busy, school start in September for us here. And once that starts the end of the year just flies by. Everything just run together, school, halloween, thanksgivng, christmas... and then BAM vacation time!!!
.
I was going to pretend like I needed to pick my restaurants today but I have to be honest. Every time I start to think about planning something, I get nervous that this trip won't happen. This delta variant is really worrisome. I try to be realistic about this whole situation, I just hope things can settle down between then and now. (And we can get Gwen vaccinated)
But I am going to try and force myself to look at the schedule and stuff today. As I need a little break from everything!
So, for better or worse, I do think we might be leaning towards a staycation summer 2022 trip in place of Hawaii. Which if that is the case, that does allow me to spread out some of our dinning options! So, this is what I want to talk about a bit...
And the question... where to stay?
We talked about doing a split stay at the Poly and Yacht Club. And I do think a split stay would be good for that trip, as we are looking to do no parks. Here are my thoughts on the matter at the moment:
Poly - Girls love the Volcano pool and we love the feel of the whole resort. I would assume all of the construction would be done by then? Maybe I could FINALLY get into Trader Sam's... I am on the fence about Ohana with the new menu. But if we were staying there, it would be easy to give it a try.
Yacht Club - This is always our favorite. And makes sense with Stormalong Bay. But it might be nice to try somewhere else? But we could def spend a couple days at this pool. And we could move the cabana day to this trip.
Animal Kingdom Lodge - This would be the perfect time to try here. Not going to parks, we wouldn't have to worry about how far away it is from anything. But is the pool "fun" enough for a pool day? It would be a good way to really enjoy the views of the animals... And we could just eat at ALL of the restaurants there. I would probably want to do all of them.
Beach Club - We could stay here, to make it slightly different than Yacht Club? Or is that just cheating? I do personally see the two as almost being one resort. One just is closer to EPCOT, which if we don't do parks, that really doesn't matter.
What do you guys think? Is there another resort that you think would be good for no park days?
