Here I go again (not with August though, thank GOD).
Here's a WWYD....
Currently booked in a business class room at CSR for 8 days in October for F&W. As much as we do like CSR, it wasn't our first choice as we prefer to be in one of the Epcot resorts for F&W, however, friends of ours are joining us this trip and no matter how much we tried, they couldn't see the value in staying at an Epcot resort during F&W...ugh!! Mind you, they've only been to Disney once, many years ago and stayed offsite so they honestly have no clue. DH & I talked about booking the Beach Club for ourselves but when we told them, the wife, who happens to be my best friend since childhood, wasn't happy and gave us the guilt trip about not staying at the same resort. Not wanting to ruin our friendship, I caved in and booked CSR as well (These rooms were booked before the new year).
A few months back, DH & I started talking about a possible split stay since they leave 4 days before we do and planned to move the day they leave...well, I haven't been able to get a single room anywhere in the Epcot area and I have been trying daily since February. Today, I did find out that we can get a room at the Swan for our last 4 days thru a TA but it's going to cost over $600 more than our current ressie at CSR and we'll have to pay to get back to the airport on our checkout day since there's no Magical Express at the Swan. Not sure what to do? I know nothing about the Swan, never stayed there, not even sure if it's worth the extra $600. DH thinks yes, because we'll at least be in our desired location but honestly I'm not so sure. All I know is that I have been checking the resorts daily for the last 3 months and nothing has opened up in the Epcot area at all. I'm starting to feel that nothing is going to open up there and even if I do get lucky, I hardly doubt there will be any sort of discount, given that folks must be booking at rack rate since there's been no discounts at all for October!
So.....WWYD??
