Over the weekend DH and I have been talking about what trips, and things that we are committed to from now till the end of the year. So then we started talking about whats going to be our big trip next year. After all the possibilities, We got it down to 2 options
1) Party of 2 - Heading back to Paris and Disneyland Paris - just DH and I - 10 nights visiting the sites and tours that we added to our list from our trip this past May... We would be staying at the same hotels that we stayed at this year, We loved both of them... The Hotel in Paris was in a perfect spot for us, one block from the Arc de Triomphe and Newport Bay hotel at DLP. We would be changing up tours and there is so much to see in Paris... Using same transportation options.
or
2) Party of 5 - Going to Disneyland in California and taking DD, SIL and Our Sweet little Grandson who will be 4 by the time we are planning on going.... looking at 5 nights. We more than likely we will stay where DH and I stayed at when we went to Disneyland 5 years ago, it was a off site good neighbor hotel. It has changed names I think its now called "Majestic Gardens Hotel" . But we are also looking at the " Anaheim Marriott Hotel" - I would love to stay on site but with 2 rooms I don't think that the budget will be able to support it.
Honestly it will run about the same cost... I am running the numbers...With staying off site at Disneyland, I can control some of the cost, but with park tickets there is no wiggle room... as well as dinning which with a 4 year old we will be leaning more toward, QS meals, possibly a character meal, and I know at least 1 table service for DD 30th birthday, but most like 2 TS meals... We will use private car service to and from the airport... Also with our Marriott points, will weigh in and free shuttle service to the parks will also play into our budget...
One of the reason we are thinking about going next year is our grandson with be only 4 and not in school yet, so vacations are easy... but once he starts school we will be limited to vacation time. Plus a special way to celebrate DD's 30th birthday...
So what would you do???? any suggestion would be most appreciated...
