Thank you <3 That is so kind!!

I'm struggling. My job in the library was already at stake because of funding, and we needed to pass a levy in order for my job to be secure. In person voting was cancelled and is now absentee only through the end of April. It breaks my heart to think that I already had my last day with students, potentially forever.

I brought home a crate of books for virtual read alouds, but I've blown through them. I'll likely resort to buying additional books online and donating them to the library... which stings when I consider that I may not have any income in a few weeks. :\ Our book fair was also cancelled as a result of this, so even if I do by some miracle get to keep my job, I'll not have anything to work with budget-wise next year.

So, yeah, having a really difficult time processing it all but doing my best to fake it for the sake of the kids. I guess the silver lining is that I get to use the bathroom whenever I want and I don't have any duty throughout the day?

I really like the location of the Epcot resorts. We've stayed at Swan/Dolphin several times and I've never been disappointed. Another upside to the Epcot area resorts is that you can easily walk to HS before opening if you plan to rope drop Star Wars attractions.

Beach Club/Yacht Club are $$$ but the pool is amazing. It was a splurge for us but totally worth it.

I wasn't a fan of Coronado pre-renovation, but loved it afterward and would stay there again.

I have mixed feelings about Port Orleans Riverside. Love the theme of the royal rooms and the overall grounds. Not as much of a fan of the standard rooms.

Pop is a value and the rooms are on the small side, but it's my go-to for race weekends and quick trips. I ended up in a LM room at AOA and was waaaaay disappointed with the space, especially for the cost. Super worn/outdated.

Wilderness Lodge is another favorite. It's a MK resort but not on the monorail, so it's a little more affordable. It just had a more low key, intimate feel than some other larger resorts.

We typically save the deluxe resorts for longer trips because we naturally build in more pool/down time. For the short trips, we'll go with Pop or a moderate if we can catch a good sale because we know our time will be spent in the parks.
