One queen and one fold down full Murphy bedI'm confused. So once Pop has finished the renovations, each room will have one double and one queen?

I think anyone that gets insulted over a wdw resort really needs to look in the mirror and ask themselves why? I know we live in this PC culture where everybody gets offended over everything and you basically have to walk on eggshells on this board. But really if someone doesn't like what you like so what? I think people just need to own their choices and get thicker skin.
You claim the title of the post insulted people. My thought is if someone iwas insulted by a that they might want to ask themselves why. If message boards didn't have threads that created drama they wouldn't have any posters or lurkers. Debate and healthy discourse are what make message boards interesting. I think OP wanted validation that there were others that felt like she did and I think she got that. She also got plenty of insults thrown at her from the people that were offended by her posts.I actually don't think twice about what folks like or do not like, it is personal, and never feel I would have to justify my resort choise here or anywhere else. I was responding to the Op after she insisted the "thread had gone too far" and explained what she got the responsses she got. Early in the thread I responded by saying I would not try to convince her to stay value, becuase it seemed to me she had already decided she did nto want to. Many others did as well, and explained why. The OP completely ignored the posters who shared positive viewpoints about values and many gave suggestions for her. I doubt people were insulted that she did not want to stay in a value...shoot! I don't either. I spend way too much time in a resort, so I understand wanted additional amenities. I do believe people, myself included, felt that the OP should have "owned her own choice" instead of creating a thread that was certain to create drama, and I really wish she did not try to validate her choice by posting disdainful posts to refute the comments of some people who had no dog in her race. Again...it was nto nice.
As to being thick skinned, I post often. I think I am far from sensitive.
She also gave the impression that she didn't want nor was looking for any true assistance.You claim the title of the post insulted people.

I don't think there's anyway she could have worded it that would have been ok. If I started a thread "why I hate Values" I think it would become pretty contentious pretty quickly. On the cruise DCL cruise board people are always seeking validation on one thing or the other. It's just human nature I guess.She also gave the impression that she didn't want nor was looking for any true assistance.
Why not create a thread about all the reasons not to stay at a Value and instead to stay at a Mod or a Deluxe rather than a thread asking for people to convince her to stay at a Value when it seemed pretty darn clear she didn't have any interest in staying at a Value? Wouldn't that have been more true to the intention of the OP? At least then there wouldn't have been a guise on what the point was. Perhaps you viewed this whole thing as debate and healthy discourse..no I didn't view it that way at all because of how the OP set up the thread and ended the thread.
What is the true point in asking for people to convince you of the positives in something if you don't earnestly want to be convinced and instead are just looking for self-validation..at least be honest about it and to use your words own it.

I'm not saying that your not right. It's just my personal experience on these boards it's easier said then done.I cannot agree with you on this one. WE get a lot of "convince me" threads posted, and most of them develop into informative discussions. This one started out with an announcement "I will not stay in a value". Well okay then, don't. Had the OP really wanted positives this thread woudl have been different, and if you look back, she got plenty of positives, as well as people suggesting ways to stay where she wanted even though her family would be staying elsewhere.
Disney offers levels of lodging to accomodate most budgets and needs, and wants. No one is perfect for everyone, and we all recognize that. Had the OP just wanted validation, she should have said that. She woudl have gotten that.
At the very least though you would have been honest about it right? You wouldn't have come back pointing the finger at others crying foul. You would have expected and be willing to deal with the posts that came after creating it.I don't think there's anyway she could have worded it that would have been ok.
