What would you do?

My husband was involved in a serious car accident on Tuesday (he’s ok but car is written off) and although he will get some money from the insurance for a new car, it won’t be enough to get one that actually does everything he needs it to do. So we are having to use some of our holiday savings to top it up 😢😢 we are currently booked into the all star music in a suite with qs breakfast. I called Disney to see how much it would cost to change our room to a standard room at all star music and it was going to around £1500 cheaper. Then the lady said have I considered staying a moderate resort, she priced up the cheapest (Caribbean beach resort) and we can have a standard room, with qs dining plan and $100 gift card for £1000 less. The only thing we are hesitating over is the fact that it’s a standard room (we are 2 adults and 2 children) so we would be the same room for 3 weeks (which we might end up killing each other!) we normally have suites when we go away. So we’re now not sure whether to stick with what we have, downgrade to a standard all star room or upgrade to carribean beach. What is everyone’s thoughts? We don’t normally have the dining plan which is something that has also confused us hahaha

It really depends on the age of your children. We loved staying at CBR although found the rooms to be average size. That said we only used the room for sleeping, most relaxing etc was by the quiet pool. For us, at £1000 cheaper it would be a no brainer. Plus. CBR now has the sky liner.

See more...

The kids are 9 and 5, we are really tempted but just worried the 3 weeks might drive us to murder hahaha
Although I had forgotten about the skyliner

If you stayed at CBR you would save more than £1000 as you will have 2 meals and 2 snacks every day for each of you included rather than just one meal a day included which you currently have so you should have to buy any more food. I would certainly go for CBR.

We’ve not stayed at CB but have stayed at Port Orleans and Port Orleans French Quarter, our kids were 8 and 15 at the time.

I was dreading sharing a room because out 2 can bicker with the best of them but it was fine, we were out and about all day and shattered by night time so didn’t really spend much time hanging out in the room.

The QSDP could potentially save you even more money on your holiday!

We are a family of 4. We stayed in POR for 21 nights. Kids were 13 and 9. We were fine. You are out most of the time anyway plus the qsdp will save you quite a lot of money. If it was me I'd go for it.

We are a family of 5 and stay at CBR. I would definitely take the CBR as you will have the full QSDP. Sorry to hear about the accident btw.x
