Oh damn, So you have some demo to do too. Here is a set up idea, Puts some space between your bedroom and the storage/office space; and it gives some natural light access

Do you have a version of the basement drawing that is just the current state?

2 points for you:

>I can count on one hand the number of times in the past 10 years a basement shower would have been used

You are completely changing your basement, basically turning it into an apartment. I would be thinking about this design from the perspective of a future "In-law" suite. To be used in the future by an older family member, a Teen child gaining independence, or simply for the resale to the next owner.

For the flooring, Luxury Vinyl Plank all the way. Get some with a good base padding and its really nice to walk on and looks amazing too. Super easy to install.

Personally I would put the bedroom next to the bathroom. Use one of those doors (Which I assume lead outside?) as a private entrance for when you do have guests there, and give it private access to the bathroom too.

Neither of those units are as loud as you think they are. Insulate the shared wall (or all of the walls) with fire resistant insulation and you wont hear a thing

it sounds like it actually fired fine, and the chain snapped in it's flight

I tent camp and love it, but all the things that make tenting great and relaxing are also the things that make me not think it would be a fit for disney

Ah, so you brought your own camper. We have looked at it in the past, but since we don't have a camper the cost to rent is the same as just getting a room; and I'm not tenting in Disney!

How was camping there? Tent, Trailer, Cabin?

you can not do everything in the parks in 3 days

I'm all for DIY stuff normally, but IMO any time you are looking at a project with higher than 12 gage wire, if you have to ask questions... you should really hire an electrician. This is the kind of stuff where "I think I did this right" gets people killed
