Wow
So what about the first and last days of succos ?
First days will be at friend's and since I have a full week Cert, I have the Ritz through last days but we'll probably leave most of our stuff there and also go to friends because it will be more fun for the kids to have Simchas Torah in a frumer environment and not in a hotel.
Last year I was able to book afull 10 days at the WAJ before they blocked it but honestly it was too much for my kids with all the set meals in the hotels, was expensive (just for the food), and it wasn't as fun. When we went to friends for Simchas Torah last year they were so happy to be with friends, have toys and have "normal" food...lol. I know we are weird (or my kids are just spoiled) but I had Pesach all set this year in FL and had booked Pesach next year at the WAJ and we ended up at home this Pesach and I cancelled for next year because my kids really like to not be in a hotel on Chag.
