My Disney style has changed over the years - as a kid I never stayed on-site (I'm from a big family and we'd usually rent a house) but I've learned to love Disney hotels. Even surprised myself this trip by looking into booking a *gasp* moderate room after insisting for years and years that it doesn't matter where I stay, it's only a bed, etc. I doubt I'll ever splurge totally on a deluxe hotel, but I've learned to see it as more than "just a bed!"
I've never focused much on dining, but I've been reading more about the nicer restaurants and getting excited about really branching out and trying some great food. Also considering the dining plan, which I've never used.
This trip is looking to be a little less budget-conscious than usual. I'm just trying to save up and go crazy for about seven or eight days, rather than a quick four or five day trip.
