Another vote for a taxi. Ask a bell person to summon a taxi; there are always some in the parking lot; it takes a few minutes. The walk from the MK bus area to the CR takes about 15-20 minutes, depending on your pace. It's a pleasant walk that will take you to the lobby and a quick...

We received the "official" offer documents today. We purchased 230 points at OKW (known then as the Disney Vacation Club!) back in 1991 for something like $55 a point. It has always worked out well for us in terms of enough points. We have briefly considered extra points throughout the years...

I booked @ OKW (our home resort) for August and received ours today.

I would opt for December, but before Christmas. So ideally visiting and leaving just before 12/24. You will have crowds either way. Remember you need to consider lots of locals have time off to visit too. Early December is great, as you know, but I do understand not wanting to take the...

We have been doing 5 days recently, although 7-10 days is my sweet spot. It gets much more difficult squeezing in time when you're dealing with work, school and sports schedules. We try to work in 2 visits a year, which somewhat compensates.

The Flower Festival ends on 5/17 this year; the Star Wars weekends run for a month beginning on 5/15. My suggestion is to visit during the first two weeks. You can never count on the weather, but we've lucked out with great weather during this time period. You will miss the crowds too; the...

One of our favorite activities!

Over the years we've stayed at all of the moderates and POFQ is our recommendation with POR right behind it. I find the small scale of the FQ to be one of its chief charms. I was disappointed when they closed Bonfamilles Cafe; it was lovely and had a great menu; I don't enjoy Boatwright's...

Yes. We were visiting about 2 weeks before Christmas (I forget the year). We were going to the late show of HDDR and were strolling around Fort Wilderness when ZAP -no lights. We looked across Bay Lake and the holiday lights on the CR were out as were most of the regular hotel lights (that is...

A tip --- give yourself some extra time for the trip to FW. The lines for the boats can be lengthy since lots of other folks have the same idea! But the boats do accommodate a crowd. :)

I think either is great and both have pros and cons. Which park party - MNSSHP or MVMCP - is more to your liking? Is the Epcot Food & Wine Festival something you'd enjoy? Are you looking forward to seeing the holiday decorations? Would you prefer warmer weather (chilly weather is more of a...

The All-Star suites should be a consideration IMHO. Also, think about OKW. As the oldest DVC resort, you would probably he able to purchase points a bit cheaper and the units are quite large to boot. A one-bedroom would give you a master with a king bed, a sleeper sofa and a sleeper chair...

I know that the Osborne Lights show at DHS is scheduled to end on 1/4. So I would imagine the other parks would follow that schedule by a few days or so.

It has been a mixed bag for us on several dozen ME trips. We arrived at Side A on our most recent trip and ME is on Side B. So a good stretch of the legs for starters. If there is a line - in our experience always a toss-up - it is hurry up and wait. Perhaps there is more staff during...

When in doubt, pick up your bags and don't use the yellow tags. Save yourself the stress.

It was fine at OKW earlier this month. We were prepared to use our cell phone hot spot if necessary, but the resort WIFI was more than adequate. We generally find it is better during the day than in the evenings.

We had almost no wait at MCO for the ME in July, but we waited at least 45 minutes for a bus earlier this month. We arrived at our resort around 11:30 am and happily our room was ready. Our luggage was not delivered until 4:00 pm. Not the end of the world, but an issue for some. It can be a...

The only place that always seems warm to me is the Disney Store at DTD. So much so that I usually leave before buying everything I had planned to (not always a bad thing!:joyfull:) Otherwise I think the AC works pretty well. I can assure you it was working well at OKW on our recent visit!

You'll be fine. Our flights last week were not full (they were early flights). We were A25-A27 outward and were in the 3rd row on the 6:00 AM flight. On the return flight we were A17-A19 and were in the 2nd row for the 8:00 AM flight. We always do Early Bird for the return flights.

Early to mid February is great. Lower crowds. On President's Day weekend (Thursday before), it starts to get busy and pretty much remains that way until after Easter. Weather can be unpredictable, but that is also the case in March. March crowds are much heavier due to spring breaks.
