Why 7 nights with 4 different resorts? Because I’m crazy? I am a bit crazy, but the real reason is that this trip was originally intended to happen August 31st-Sept 8th; however, due to my dad’s illness (pneumonia) and Hurricane Dorian our travel group decided to rebook. The original trip was going to be perfect (yes it was). I had planned a split stay 4 nights at Beach Club and 4 nights at Copper Creek. The trip was booked with (borrowed) DVC points. Can someone explain how I ended up with double the points I originally wanted and am still always borrowing? The last minute cancellation took place on August 30th and I rebooked for the week of Sept 14th-24th (shortening the trip one day out of necessity because there was no availability for the 8th night). With a smile on my face and hope in my heart I stalked the RAT and managed to get some GREAT resorts for this week. It was a crazy split stay (4 resorts) and ended up being pretty amazing and exhausting with only one item lost (which was returned).
Our travel group stayed 1 night at Saratoga Springs Resort (2 bedroom), 2 nights at Copper Creek (2 bedroom), 1 night at Polynesian (Bungalow), and 3 nights at Old Key West (2 bedroom). I was pretty stressed out leading up to the trip about all of the resort hopping because our travel party consisted of 4 adults and two children (ages 10 and 2). I even started a thread about my panic over this 4 resort stay. Thankfully my fellow DVC DISers responded to my panic post and reassured me that I would have a great time. Thank you!
It is my first time attempting any sort of trip report so be gentle with me.
Here is a visual of the group. From left to right: my dad, Ed; my mom, Rita; my daughter, Lillian (2); me, Jen; my daughter, Claire (10), and my husband, Nathan. This was our 4th stay as DVC members and we were treating my parents to lodging as a thank you for all they do for us. I've really been enjoying trying out every DVC resort (I've stayed at all but Beach Club now). We always stayed in moderates before so I'm kind of obsessed with our new awesome accommodations.
