Don't worry you are not alone! We booked a short vacation at Universal for next month before our AP ran out. Then my husband saw that F&W festival would still be going on and asked about adding a night or two at Disney. He never asks for anything so sure we can add a night at Disney. Well then the airline that I have a ton of points at decided that they were only going to have a late afternoon non stop flight instead of the usual early morning nonstop. I hate switching planes and avoid doing it at all costs, so we decided to go the night before. Low and behold that days flight was crazy expensive but the day before that was almost half the price. Still with me?I'm absolutely hopeless.
DH and I wanted to do Disney to see the Pandora stuff, since it wasn't open yet during our last trip which was over NYE. But Disney was going to be really expensive, and to maximize time we'd want to do that new (over-priced) AK VIP tour. So we decided to do Universal instead, since it would be cheaper, and we hadn't been since before either of the Harry Potter sections opened.
So, we booked a quick Easter long weekend trip to Universal. Thus I've got March 29 to April 2 booked at the Royal Pacific.
But today I noticed that Disney had a deal available. So now I've also got March 30 to April 2 booked at BC. And ADRs for each night. (Slow day at work equals too much time surfing the Disney sites.). But the AK tour isn't offered that weekend. Grr.
Now I'm not sure what to do. We are waiting for flights, and it's looking like that may be what decides it for us. One possible airline flies to MCO on the Thursday night and the other flies down Friday morning. Both are still way too expensive. The current plan is that whichever one goes on sale first wins, and we'll go to the park with the reservation that matches the flights. We prefer the airline that flies down on the Friday morning, but since we haven't been to Universal in nearly 20 years I'd want a full day there Friday, thus the idea of the not-so-preferred airline. For WDW, we've been enough times that a shorter stay is no problem.
Is it horrible to have two different trips booked for the same weekend? Do other people have problems committing to the idea of going somewhere other than WDW? I was perfectly fine with the idea of a Universal-only trip until the Disney deal came out. OMG, what is wrong with me?! I'm a total BC addict!
Before I new it the 4 day short trip to Universal became a four day Disney trip followed by a 4 day Universal trip. Just don't know how that happened but were happy LOL! And yes at one point I had both the Dolphin and the BC booked at the same time why I tried to figure everything out. Just canceled the Dolphin hotel.
