Hotel Change?.. Again?

If I had a nickel for every time we thought about changing our hotel, I'd have enough money to pay for the upgrade to a deluxe resort.  Once again however Allison and I have decided to price another hotel and see if it was worth changing.  Our current hotel of choice is the Port Orleans French Quarter, but we did some research and the Beach Club resort is really centrally located, and even walking (yes walking) distance from two theme parks.

The Beach club is also very close to the Disney Boardwalk, and it has many boating options to get you around the grounds.  It is the home to the restaurant where we want to have our character breakfast, the Cape May cafe.  This means that getting around will be really convenient, and we don’t have to worry about taking buses too often, except to the water parks and Animal Kingdom.  It also has a swimming pool with a sand bottom, I’m not sure if this is a true deciding factor, but it’s pretty cool.

The problem is, and always will be, the price.  Allison and I are very much the types to spend less on the hotel and spend more on the attractions.  With Disney resorts you can rest assured that you’re not going to get stuck in a dump, so even going a little cheaper isn’t too worrisome.  The cost difference is around fifteen hundred dollars for our stay, and I’m not really sure we want to pay that.  While the convenience is a big selling point, it’s not like it will be impossible to get around staying at the Port Orleans French Quarter.

So what we’ve decided is to stick to Port Orleans French Quarter for now. Sometimes Disney has sales, and/or offers upgrades, and if this happens the Beach Club will be our choice.  For now though we stick to our plan.
