I stayed at WBC 3 times over a 10 year period. I was never disappointed in choosing it over staying onsite. If you are a die hard onsite fan but considering trying offsite, then WBC may be ideal for a first time offsite stay. If you prefer a Disney ONLY vacation, then offsite may not be ideal...
I personally prefer timeshare resorts instead of standard hotels so that is what I have a tendency to recommend. However, I do agree Buena Vista Suites is a good choice but I find their pool is very small. I haven't stayed at their sister property Caribe Royale next door, but I think Caribe...
So Crystal Palace is ok since it's Disney? Maybe Golden Corral adopted the same setup as Crystal Palace. If you didn't go in, then you don't know. The way I see it, there is no way to do a buffet safely except if they set up cafeteria style behind plexiglass and have the staff make and serve...
Did you go inside the Golden Corral? I am wondering how they are keeping the buffets safe. Is the staff serving the guests? I assume they are no longer allowing guests to serve themselves anymore. I plan to come down in August for 4 weeks. Golden Corral is a family favorite. The hot foods aren't...
Also, don't forget about SkyAuction. I hear they have good deals for Sheraton Vistana Resort but I rarely see anything for Sheraton Vistana Villages. But there are other resorts on SkyAuction for some decent prices too.
Personally I do not care for AirBnB. The hygiene requirements are too relaxed for private homes, and the resorts are way overpriced. I use TUG2.net and Redweek.com to find rentals. You will be renting from timeshare owners and Redweek has a prescreen of timeshare owners so you will be safe to...
Thanks I appreciate your concern. Since it's public transportation, I do not expect it to be quick at all. I always rent a car so it will not be needed as a form of transportation. I just want to add the Lynx experience as part of the sightseeing. I have no intention of using it as...
I know this thread is old but I am just catching up. However, I am DETERMINED to take a quick ride on the Lynx at least ONCE during my next trip. Me and DD14 are looking to do something different and this is going to be added to our list. Maybe take it to a restaurant or a gift shop and back to...
I am a member of TUG so I am very familiar with the timeshare sales pitches. Currently, I am in the process of purchasing a timeshare on resale market off eBay. I used to own a timeshare but found it cheaper to rent from owners than to pay annual maintenance fees so I gave it up. Since we...
I am considering trying Silver Lake one day. I am going to be a new RCI member soon and hopefully if all goes well, I will have 2 weeks per year to trade into a 2 bedroom unit in Orlando. I would like to stay for the entire month of August so I am also looking forward to the use of "getaways"...
I am looking forward to White Castle in Orlando. I think it will do extremely well. I think it will be big competition for Steak N Shake. I hope they can co-exist. I love Steak n Shake. I am not sure where the location is going to be. I know Palm Parkway, but the "official address" is not...
I am familiar with Palm Parkway. I go to that area often while I am there. I love the Gift Shops in that area. Maybe White Castle will be up and running by the time we get there. I am STILL holding onto hope that we will be able to go in August.
