If you had the choice, the 2nd week of June, which would you choose and why??

This came up with my daughter and I. Looking for more "expert" opinions.

Both are great choices. I'd certainly select the additional time at Disney World especially since you'd be staying at such a lovely resort!

We love POFQ and I would choose it over just about anywhere at Disney.

It is a lovely resort, small, has been refurbished this year with a good pool, and the river with a boat to DTD.

There really are no negatives, so I'd take the extra time!

No brainer for me. We always stay at POFQ as we love this resort. Love the small size of it and the boat to DTD. For us the longer the stay the better.

Just an idea....if you bought an annual pass, would you be able to stay at WL for the 10 days? Sometimes the discount available for annual pass holders is good.
Don't know if you already have passes.

Annual passes don't make sense because I live in NC and only visit when we have a special occasion or money.....our next visit after the June one will be when my baby graduates from HS in 2015, unless I can get hubby to spring between now and then.

I would probably go with WL for seven days...seven days is about where I max out anywhere on vacation. And while I love POFQ (its actually where we are staying next) Wilderness Lodge is my favorite...so that makes it an easy choice.

I'd stay the 10 days at POFQ because we love this resort. But...I might think about doing 5days at a value and then switch to WL for 5 days.

I'd take the extra time and POFQ is a great resort. It's my favorite moderate :wave:

Get the beignets from the food court :tasty:

I would choose 10 days over 7 because at that time of year it can be quite warm so with 10 days you can take it easier and you will be able to take in much more than you could in 7 including some of the small things you normally wouldn't do because of time constraints I would just make sure I had the Park Hopper option on my tickets

WL is my favorite resort, by far, but having said that, I'd choose the 10 day trip, because time is far more valuable than money. :spend:
No chance of 10 days at WL?

I would do 10 days, but I would do 5 at POFQ, then split the stay with WL for another five. That perhaps would balance things out finacially speaking, and you get the benefit of 10 days in the world, and 5 at a deluxe!

10 at WL is eeekkable, but if I want to take my youngest in 4 yrs for his HS graduation - I need to not eeeekkkk so much.

DD is fine with 10 at POFQ, she just wants a mother/daughter celebration trip. Gotta love that girl.:)

I've stayed at the WL and POR, so I would say I've stayed at both since we frequented POFQ several days for breakfast. I would go with the 10 days. We usually go for 7 days, but I would use the 3 extra days to try things that I usually don't have time to do...walk leisurely through Downtown Disney, go to a spa, play golf, step back and actually take in all the sights and sounds of the world showcase instead of rushing from thrill ride to thrill ride, take my kids to the pirate league, go to one of the water parks in addition to the big four, actually spend quality time in the resort pool instead of it being a quick pit stop to cool off from a long day, spend a little more time in AK since my DF really only rides Dinosaur, EE, Safari, and see the Lion King show (we barely see the actual animals)...I could go on...take the extra time and have family fun! :party:

Easy, I would choose more time over WL because I love the Port Orleans hotels and we don't spend much time at the hotel anyway.

We frequently stay at POFQ and have been to WL many times for dinner / resort hopping. I would love to stay at WL becuase I think it is beautiful but just haven't had the right combination of discounts and timing.

I would ALWAYS pick the additional days in WDW!

I would suggest making an ADR at one of the two TS restuarants and visit WL but stay the 10 days at POFQ!!
