We are currently staying at the Beach Club Resort from the 2/11 to 2/20. We wanted to add an extra day 2/10. They are telling us at this time they are booked and to keep trying.

Any suggestions? Maybe stay at another place for a day? Just would hate to stay at one place for a day and pack and move again.

Are there any nice hotels on the way into Disney? Last time we were in Downtown Disney I believe I saw some hotels accross the street.

Yes, there are tons of hotel right at DTD. I saw a recomendation on another thread that the Best Western there at DTD. Also, like you said if your driving down you could add a day to the drive. I know it may sound like a pain but... try staying at another resort. It might not be as bad as your thinking since they will transfer all your bags for you and they will be there waiting for you when you get to your hotel room that night. If you do that then I would try a resort that you have always wanted to try or maybe the Pop Century since it is brand new?? The one plus to staying onsite both times is that they will transfer our bags and that is one less thing you have to deal with. It is vey scary to know that a resort is booked that week because I am going about 5 days later and it is usually not very crouded. But this time it sounds like it may be... :nooo: :cry:

I would stay at another WDW resort for your first night if nothing opens up at the Beach Club. Keep trying right up until the day you leave, you may get lucky and get a room at 5 days out, the latest a CRO reservations can be cancelled w/o losing money. Pick another resort that looks interesting and book that.

I always pack an over night bag when I travel "just in case", use those clothes and then you don't have to unpack and repack. WDW will move your bags while you enjoy the parks.

Have fun!! :)

I forgot to mention: Don't forget the Resort savings that Disney is having right now. That is another perk.

You wont want to leave riverside,It is so much nicer than CB you may want to change your reservations to riverside for your entire trip.

[MJD]

I know!! I said the same thing to my wife this morning. I heard so many nice things about POR.

Hey, if we like the the resort I will book it for 2005. I should buy stocks.

Just want to let you guys know this site is very helpful. I tell eveyone I know about it. Just a wealth of information. Thanks for the information.

This year we bought a digital camera and I plan on posting some pictures. You guys will just have to teach me how it's done.

I also have a Kodak Digital camera and would suggest you get the highest meg you can. I have a 4 and there are 5 and I think 6 out now. The higher the number the better the quality:) :D

[disneyguy]

Unfortunatly, I do not have the moeny for that kind of camera. I am leaning towards the Kodak 3 MP cuz it is only $99 but then I gotta get the card which is another fifty dollars. That pushes my budget to the limit. Any one know of discounts on those cards??
