DH can't make us his mind. When I told him about the 2 choices for the flight home (either 11:45am or 4:30pm) he said "maybe we should stay that night in Orlando somewhere since it's a long weekend. We can fly home on Sunday and still have off on Monday".
Ok, so I called WDW and got prices for the Polynesian, Contemporary, and Wilderness Lodge. It would be for just that one night and we wouldn't bother going into the parks, especially since it'll be Labor Day Weekend and crowded. After being on the cruise all week I'm not sure which resort we'd enjoy the most. We like the idea of being on the monorail, or else I would've gotten prices for the Animal Kingdom Lodge as well as Yacht Club. However, since we want to relax, I'm thinking we want a resort that we can spend time swimming and eating at. That leads me to my next thought which is the Kona Cafe. Our family LOVED this restaurant and that's why I'm thinking that the Polynesian fits the bill on all counts: on the monorail, great relaxing theming, and great restaurants.
On the otherhand, since I was a child and went to WDW at the age of 14 (back in 1975), I've always wanted to stay in the Contemporary tower. Maybe we should stay there because we'd still be on the monorail with easy access to the restaurants at the Polynesian. I just don't think this resort is as "relaxing" as the Polynesian would be.
Then I was thinking about the possibility of trying out either the Hard Rock Hotel or their new Royal Pacific Resort. Both of those seem like they'd be good for a relaxing overnight stay.
Can some of you please give me some input here? Between DH and I unable to make up our minds, it'd be nice to hear some other people's comments and opinions. Thanks!
