We will be there. We used to bring a 6 foot tree, but I talked the family into a 4 foot tree and a lot less ornaments.

If you can't find one before the 21st, I will be there. Just let me know.

I have done multiple trips with split stays. Without a car, it makes it more difficult, but it is nice to be able to see the different resorts. We have even stayed in different room types, in the same resort. As for a favorite resort, it just depends. Overall Theming - Beach Club Closeness to Magic Kingdom - BLT Closeness to EPCOT, DHS - Beach Club Being able to get last minute - Saratoga Springs(SSR) The size of the rooms - Old Key West(OKW) Liked the least - Boardwalk Pool - Beach Club Not point happy - SSR, OKW I own points at BCV and SSR. I have stayed at BC

We use Marcel. It has a monthly subscription, mainly because it uses a cell network to text/email us. We use it for Power Loss/Temperature(High and Low) setting. You can set it up to email/text multiple people. My wife has set it up for me to get text messages and for her to get email and text messages.

Thanks, all of our animals need to be named after a Disney Character. So, he is named after the Hyena in the Lion King. It helped that he has bred in California and had a surfing litter name. So, the Banzai Pipeline was also a help in his naming.

This is my latest pup, Banzai, a Miniature Australian Shepard at 5 1/2 Months. We got him in October.

I think it was, it would have been Saturday around 8:50AM. It was at the 4 way stop sign, you were coming from the 2000 loop area, turning towards Meadow Trading post. I was turning to leave. I was there for a week. The 8th through the 15th. I will be at Disney, staying at SSR for one night on May 1st, then moving to the Swan on May 2nd through the 6th for a conference. Then I come back and stay at SSR for the opening of Pandora.

I knew this trip report was coming. I was behind the TCD girls when they were getting to device for the TVs, then I went to galatic nights and saw TCD with his camera. I was in a rush to get to Toy Story Mania. The Rock N Roller Coaster was cool. They changed the lightning and the music. Then, as I was bringing my Kenny cart back on Saturday, I saw TCD and girls driving their cart. I was the one in the uhaul truck, since I had to borrow their truck.

For my family, this was a bust. The food was mediocre, the best thing on thw buffet was the Caesar Salad. Even the Mac and Cheese was bad. The characters will sign and take pictures, but you have to wait in line for them. Now, if you have a child that is outgoing and likes to dance, this maybe for you. If you have any questions about this, please ask.

We ate here for lunch on Saturday, April 8th. The food was still excellent and my daughter loved the mac and cheese. We will be going back in August with friends.

Had to have batteries replaced over Christmas 2015 and they came onsite and did it. Do not know how Tee Time was able to come on property and do it. I have rented for Spring Break week with him and will see how it goes.

Duane, how was the food at Paddlefish (same or better than when it was Fulton's)?

My DW does drive our RV, even pulling the Honda Pilot behind it. We do not go many places that require us backing in.

You are correct the pools at Beach Club, Boardwalk and Wilderness Lodge Villas are considered Quiet Pools. Even Saratoga Springs and Old Key West have some pools that are considered quiet pools and some that are feature pools. The only thing I can think of for BLT, is that A. they had the space and B. with the Monorail, they did not want people just going to the pool. With it just being BLT guests it was fairly busy. However, there were always chairs available and you were not bumper to bumper people like you are at the fort. It would be nice if they gated the Fort People so only Fort g

Technically, NO, but it is the only one that has Gate Access that is exclusive to that Resort. Beach Club Villas has a small pool that is restricted to Beach Club Villas guests, but anyone can get to it. Same with Wilderness Lodge. Grand Floridian, do not know, but I do not know since I have not stayed there and I do not foresee Polynesian creating a separate pool. Boardwalk has its own pool, but same thing anyone can get to it without a key. AKL I do not know since I have not stayed there, but I do not recall them building a pool at Kidani Village, they built the Savannah instead. As a

You are correct. The Pool is exclusive to BLT guests, but the Grilling area, Corn Hole, Ping Pong, Bocce and Shuffleboard are not. However to use most of those you need to be able to check things out from the Community Hall. To get back into BLT from the pool/entertainment area you need to use your magic band or you could walk around the building to the front. BLT guests are allowed to use the Contemporary pool. There are no gates around it. I think the only thing shared at night could be the campfire and the movie, however there was a firepit at the BLT pool.

This post contains some of the common areas of Bay Lake Tower like the grilling Area, Corn Hole, Shuffleboard, Ping Pong and Bocce areas If you were not looking for the grilling area, you probably would not find it. It is off of the pool but is kinda hidden. Which is nice, I think the grills are far enough away that the smoke does not get to the pool area, but you never know. I never noticed the area until the day before we were going to grill out. Grilling Area At BLT alone they have 4 grills that you can use. You need to provide the charcoal, but you can check out Grill Utensils, whi

Looks like it is time for pictures of the pool. Picture of the pool from the window right outside our door Splash Ground. There is no slide in this area, just an area for the kids to run around in. The colored stuff is that rubbery material. Pool Pictures That is a baby slide. It goes into about 3 feet of water.

For this room, it is dedicated, so it is not a studio. However, the room size is the same. The bathroom is the same between a Studio and the dedicated second bedroom. The difference is in a studio, the second bed becomes a pullout couch and there is a dorm room size fridge, extra sink and microwave, what they call a dinette area. They also provide you paper plates and plastic ware. There is also a coffee maker.

Well, that is good to know. First time we stayed we had the mixed MK and Lake view. I miss seeing the fireworks from the room, but the Frozen Fireworks were better than the MK. We could also see the Illuminations Fireworks. If we hurried we could go downstairs, catch the elevator up to the top and then watch the MK fireworks, a little late, but that would be all three sets of fireworks. The toilets are considered residential, but for a commercial use. How I do know that? Well, ours would not flush right away. So I opened up the top and well, it was definitely different. I should h

Well, we only have a few pictures of the second bedroom. The inlaws got into the room before I could take pictures and they left after us. Did not want to take too many pictures of their stuff. I think these are two queen beds. Bathroom sink Toilet and shower, just a normal shower behind the curtain View of entertainment center View from the second bedroom balcony That is it for the second bedroom. I still have some pictures from at night that I will post in the next update.

No problem. My DW thinks I am crazy, but I think my DD is starting to get on board.

Continuation of Master Bedroom and Balcony Looking directly below off the balcony Balcony This one you can see the door that goes into the living room area. Desk area, what is odd about this desk is that there are NO drawers on it. It does have 3 plugs for charging. TV Area along with desk. The storage space is the 4 drawers, plus a drawer in the black thing under the mirror on the left. That is also a place to a suitcase. View from inside the room looking out towards the balcony Bathroom Door (Which are pocket doors). Most of the doors in BLT seem to be pocket doors.

Let’s get this thing moving this morning. We will move on to the Master Bedroom. This is the same whether it is a 1 or 2 Bedroom. Bed Bed with Blue pillow Picture above Bed Picture of Bathtub from Bed area Picture showing divider between bathroom area and bedroom. The tub is behind the divider. From Balcony (Also took to show the jetskis) View from Balcony We were on the side with the Skybridge. This is the area that they show the movie. You can see the chairs along the bushes. View of the main Contemporary Pool. This pool is open 24 Hours. Water Sprites

I have not gotten to the balconies yet. Each Studio has a Balcony and a 1-Bedroom has 1 Balcony, you can get to it from the Living Room or the Master Bedroom. That door you see with the shade is the door to the balcony from the living room. So a 2-Bedroom will have 2 balconies. One off the Master/Living Room and 1 off the 2nd Bedroom, whether it is a studio/just a 2nd bedroom.
