Trying to get my husband to 'think outside the box' is much harder than I ever thought it would be ... he's FAR more extrovert, so I figured that would also be more the adventurer! (apparently NOT) I did convince him to do a split-split-split vacation one time. I highly recommend it! Our boys were much younger, but the result was awesome. Typically we check-in and stay put at the one location for the entire visit, but we had bought more points and there were some that had to be used right away. The oldest boy had been wanting to 'play hookey' from school, so we picked them all up early one day from school (just before Christmas) and drove south. They know I don't care for snow, so they bought my story about escaping the white stuff. They didn't question the distance too much, but the oldest one did rat me out to his oblivious brothers when he saw the mouse ears on the street signs! I told them we'd see if we could get a room for the night, and that's how we did the one-night stay each at the Contemporary, Polynesian, and Wildnerness Lodge.
This was a fantastic time, and the moving about only added to the adventure for the boys. We just told them we didn't know how long we could stay ... it depended on if any of the other the places had room for us! They didn't need to have the 'magic' ruined by learning about reservations and all that stuff at their ages!
Ahhh, memories!
