I've stayed at moderates and deluxe WDW resorts. I much prefer the deluxe for many reasons. We tend to relax on the balcony with a coffee in the a.m. or an adult beverage in the p.m. After many, many years rooming at motels with sports teams, I prefer the hotel over motel experience now. And...

A couple that I have enjoyed over the years: Boma, Kona Cafe, Grand Floridian Cafe and a nice surprise on my last trip was breakfast at Trattoria al Forno. I think that is my new "must do" breakfast place. If you just want a QS place, Sunshine Seasons is very good. And Starring Rolls is...

Excellent! Thanks all!

Thanks for the response. However, since this is for my folks 60th anniversary, was hoping for, uh, fewer fellow passengers. ;)

I didn't see this anywhere, but then I only did a quick search . . . does anyone know if there are fireworks cruises (Wishes) on MNSSHP or MVMCP nights? Any insight is appreciated.

It doesn't appear that money is an issue, so do a tour. Wild Africa Trek, the new one (can't recall the name at the moment), segway tour at Ft Wilderness, see La Nouba, ride an amphicar at The Boathouse, etc. Have dinner at Victoria & Alberts. Dine with an Imagineer. Whatever sounds...

Guaranteed to kill all germs. :D

I stayed at the Beach Club resort last year for the F&W Festival. Do enjoy the Festival during the week. Weekends are crazy busy. It was my first time at the Beach Club, but hopefully not the last. Room was bright. The "garden" view also had a nice view of Illuminations. It was wonderful...

I've been to WDW solo several times. The best experiences have been at the signature restaurants, probably due to servers with more experience. Artist Point, Citricos and Rose & Crown being exceptional on a regular basis as far as service and solo dining. That's from my humble experience, of...

KCheatle, here are my thoughts on the WL vs BC debate after spending 5 nights there recently (Sept 28-Oct 3). First of all, the resort is lovely. Sunny, bright and lively. Very clean looking. Your kids will love the pool area! Hands down better than the pool area at WL. The room I had...

Speaking of Mulch, Sweat and Shears . . . last week, as they were driving away from their performance, I heard one of them say "Thanks, we'll be doing [something] for Off Kilter." Could have been "publicity" or "promotional work", or even "yard work". I should have written it down. That's...

I went through the same quandary! The last 5 trips to WDW we've stayed at the Wilderness Lodge. This next trip -- in just a short 3 weeks -- I'll be staying at the Beach Club for the first time. I've gone back and forth about missing so much of the things I love about the WL: the restaurants...

I've gone to the party without a "real" costume, just a Halloween-ish outfit, and did not feel out of place. I've also kept it simple with my old football jersey and some eyeblack. But, the most fun was when I took my folks and they were dressed as Herbie and I was the Thorndyke Special. :D...

Thanks! That's good to hear! I'm such a fan of the WL and AKL that I was getting slight palpitations staying elsewhere. :cautious: This just might spoil me for future trips being able to walk to the UK. I love shopping and noshing around World Showcase even when it's not F&W.

I have a short return trip for the F&W Festival coming up, but still managed to add a few "firsts". I'll be staying at the Beach Club for the first time. (Might come in handy walking to Epcot!) I'll also be trying Yachtsman Steakhouse for the first time. Pondering the Ft Wilderness segway...

This is just enough of a diversion, because so many are too [insert word of choice] to climb "all those stairs" to look at stuff that doesn't "do" anything. A moment of peace, if timed correctly. And I still think the views are lovely at night too. My only hope is IF there is any interactive...

We've done both of these over the past couple of trips. Loved the Wild Africa Trek! A giraffe got so close to our safari truck, I could see her eyelashes. Beautiful! And lunch on the savannah was wonderful. I can't say enough about the Wishes Fireworks Cruise. It will spoil you for...

^This. My father says one trip he is just going to take the boat back and forth from the WL to the MK all day. He loves it! It's his favorite part of a WDW vacation. :D Well, that and Soarin'.

Perhaps they should have quietly added some tables and chairs, a few charging stations and a somewhat nicer drink/snack kiosk and called it a day; then most folks would have been pleasantly surprised when going through there. The fact that they named it and made a slight to-do about it makes it...

We stayed Club Level on a recent trip, but only due to getting a pretty good discount. It was nice to go to the Lounge and get a quick bite to eat in the morning or a nightcap in the evening, but that wouldn't get us to stay Club Level again. The Cast Members were all top-notch. They were...
