I still don't get why it gets a bad rap, but I think that's from the crazies who need to sleep on top of a theme park to feel the magic. SS has a great pool area, amazing spa, solid dining options and totally relaxed vibe. I hear OKW does as well and have enjoyed Olivia's (well, I did until they dumbed it down and I ceased patronizing it), but frankly as a Floridian, the theming does absolutely zero for me. Likely a reason why CBR is also not high on my list of resorts.

That should get you about a weeks stay with the way Disney discounts that Resort. Being so far from the Parks seems to be the only complaint about that resort other than bus service. Gosh how much more Magic do you want? DD, and the West End or right there. You can even go walk the Ghost Town that once was PI.

Originally Posted By carribean queen I sleep with the curtins closed and don't care to go in the pool (way to many people pee in them). So, MPierce you could start a fund for me! I won't be picky! I promise! though something on the monorail would be nice.
Originally Posted By bobbelee9 If a room at the Poly facing the Castle is $500 a night, then the room right across the hall, is about $400 a night, for basically the same room. $100 a night more just to look at the Castle, I wonder why my daughters think I'm crazy. But my son understands me.
Originally Posted By carribean queen I didn't say you were crazy (well maybe a little) but you can still add to my fund if you want.
Originally Posted By bobbelee9 Sorry, CQ is my daughter, so I'm offering to share my room with her and her son. But CDD you have been a welcome addition to LP, so I wouldn't mind meeting up with your family there.
Originally Posted By carribean queen Hey, I was working some free stuff, those rooms are big enough for everyone! As long as someone is willing to sleep in the tub!
Originally Posted By CarolinaDisneyDad Thanks bobbelee, If it ever works out I would love to meet you and your family. You guys are always so happy. It would be great to meet some of the great folks I've met on LP in person.
Originally Posted By bobbelee9 Thanks for the compliment, CDD. We try. I've been on the boards for a little over 2 years, and I feel like I "know" many of the posters. And I'd love to meet up with some. Since I'm the only one who likes Disney in July, that will probably never happen.

An hour later we met up with the rest of the family, who'd been in MK and they had gotten drenched!! That was the only day it rained while we were there. When the g-kids were too young to start school, we went mid-September, it was just as hot as July.
