Hmmm....that's a tough one because we took our first trip to WDW early this year and we stayed at the POFQ. But, we did get to see many of the beautiful resorts at WDW. The exterior reminds me a lot like the CR. IE, a bit older and a bit dated, exteriorwise. IMO, while we really enjoy staying at the GCH, the interior decorations of the DLH really captures that "Disney Magic". Honestly, you can't go wrong with either resort. The one pitfall that many WDW veterans fall into is comparing the resorts and parks to that of WDW. They don't compare. Both locations have it's pros and cons. Don't succumb to this. You're only setting yourself up for the biggest let down. When you get there, just take everything in for what it's worth and you'll have a great time...crzy4pooh said:THanks so much!!!! That does help alot! We have stayed at WL and AKL, which I understand are similar to GCH. I can't really picture DLH because I don't have anything to compare it to. Is there anything at WDW like it? We have looked at pricing a bit, and are still waiting on the quote for Disney Sports (the one on the entry form you check for a price quote.) We will definitely check AAA, too. It's so hard to figure out plans - we want to do everything because I doubt we will get back anytime soon, but don't want it to be stressful for DS. But we're sooooo excited!!!!!! Thanks again!!!
Incidentally, if we(as in the DISers) are planning a GTG prior to the race, there's not a lot of character dining places to chose from. Outside of the parks, Storytellers in the GCH for breakfast or Goofy's Kitchen at the DLH(B/L/D) are our only choices. As the race date approaches, we should probably keep this in mind if we want to ensure reserving a location...
