Okay, so now I'm looking at these 40% off packages and I'm totally WOWED! These are fantastic deals! Criminey, the banner ads are gonna get me yet. LOL

So...let's talk resorts. As a Marriott timeshare owner (inherited, not purchased), I haven't stayed in a hotel for this kind of vacation in years and years. But since I've already traded in my weeks for Marriott Reward points and have those points earmarked for something else, I'm thinking that I might just enjoy staying in a Disney resort for the first time since I was a kid.

After careful analysis (and viewing our Disney vacation DVD, LOL), and with the discounts, I think a deluxe resort is do-able. After watching the video, the hubster is partial to the Polynesian, and I have to confess that being close to the monorail would be a bonus for me. We'll have a rental car either way, but I like the idea of being so close to either the monorail or that entrance to Epcot by the Boardwalk and Beach Club, but I realize that limits our choices.

I have a memory of being 6 years old and having the most amazing key lime pie at the Polynesian...it's just kind of a cool memory. Still, the Polynesian is pretty old school...anybody been there recently?
