WL or POFQ?
Ok everyone Im having a nervous breakdown. Just when I thought that our Nov trip was all figured out my DH throws me a curve ball the other night. After all the planning, questions that I have asked on DC and changing our resort twice on our reservation. I thought that we were going to be staying at the WL... Well DH says to me that he was talking to someone at work and how they recommended POFQ and that we should stay there. DH came home and checked out 1 of my disney books and then tells me that he would rather stay there. I nearly screamed.... I was like this was one the choices that we had and you said that you would rather go with the WL after all the talking I did about it with everyone here on the DC.... So I changed the org reservation from POFQ to the WL.... Now he wants to stay at POFQ.... I dont know what to do. I really want to stay at the WL but POFQ would work out better for us with the price and everything...
Anyone have any ideas on what we should do? DH says that its up to me since Im the Disney Freak in the house but keeps hinting about POFQ..... Thanks

Re: WL or POFQ?
Ugh Amy...he sounds like my DH!
  Ryan couldn't make up his mind where he wanted to stay for his birthday...I think he *finally* settled on Beach Club the other night, but if you see my signature change again, you'll know why! LOL Anyhoo...that's a toughie.  I would normally pick WL over POFQ, but since your trip is only a few months away, maybe going with POFQ this time wouldn't be a bad idea? Saving money is never a bad thing, right?Hmmm. If you were going long enough, I would say split between 2 resorts...but... Okay, I'm just gonna settle on something and say go with POFQ this time. It'll make DH happy and maybe you can use the extra $$ to do something extra special.

Re: WL or POFQ?
I think we are related
Thanks for the help I still dont know what to do. I think I just might leave it the way it is for now and think about it for another week so and see what DH does. He might change his mind yet again... If I change it again this will make time # 3. Oh boy!!!

Re: WL or POFQ?
If money really isn't an issue I would say stay with WL. You can't go wrong with WL, the resort is just wonderful. While you are at WDW make it a point to go to POFQ and check it out for future trips. Tell you DH that you are really interested in staying there next time if can see it first.

Re: WL or POFQ?
If the $$ does not matter, I would pick the WL especially at the holidays. However, there is no "bad" choice.

Re: WL or POFQ?
If it were me I would have to go WL. It is just breath taking IMO. I like POFQ just fine though, and would be happy to stay there (and we have). WL is just too awesome to pass up. You can just hop on the boat to MK, do the tour of the WL, sit by the fire... I could go on and on, lol.

Re: WL or POFQ?
If you can afford it, stick with the WL! It's so gorgeous! Tell him you can't change it again, they won't let you! :)

Re: WL or POFQ?
I agree with everyone. Go with WL! After the first time i saw it I was blown away. It really is beautiful. If you can afford it, go for it. Next time, you may not be able to afford WL, and will have to stay at a moderate, so I say, take advantage of the opportunity!

Re: WL or POFQ?
Stick with the WL. When your family gets there and gets swept up in the moment they will forget all about wanting to stay at POFQ! Christmastime is even better!

Re: WL or POFQ?
I've never stayed at WL but would love to. Have you even checked if POFQ was available? Maybe the decision will be made for you!

Re: WL or POFQ?
Ok kids I just printed all this out with your suggestions that we should stay at WL and left it on the table for him. We shall see what happens tonight. The money really isnt that big of an issue. I just go crazy when I get there and want to buy everything so I was thinking that the money that we save on the resort can buy us more stuff...
 But then again like DH always tells me all the time Disney World isnt going anywhere and you know that we are going to be coming back.....
