My 7 year old daughter, husband and myself had a 2 bedroom villa at bw, and boy, it sure felt like being home with all that space and just the 3 of us! We came mostly for the food and wine festival and actually, we ate food from the booths for most of our meals. Surprisingly, Ireland was my favorite, some kind of root soup that was to die for, and bacon and root potatoes. Talk about filling!!!Poland had this very dark porter beer, which I loved and my husband hated. Hes an icehouse kinda guy. My daughter road test track for the first time and loved it. We also went to mk one day so she could go on splash and thunder. Crowds were typical for this time of year, maybe even on the heavy side. Epcot got very crowded at night, I guess because it was the only park left open. Not a problem, though, when you are exiting thru the international gateway. I think epcot lovers who have never stayed at an epcot resort should treat themselver at least once! Weather was great to begin with, got rainy late Tues and Wed, but it was nothing compared to the pounding they had in our hometown of Ormond.Be glad to answer any questions-Eileen

Sounds like you all had a great time. Sometime, I would like to go down for the Food and Wine. Thanks for posting!

Thanks for posting! I agree with the comment that Epcot lovers should try staying at an Epcot resort. My boyfriend and I absolutely love Epcot and we stayed at the Beach Club this past January. We saw Illuminations so many times and just loved walking to Epcot (almost everyday!).

Welcome home! What kind of view did you have from your villa? Thanks!

1105 & 1107, the grass to the left of the entrance area right outside our door. Convenient back way to the bus stop. This is a standard view 2 bedroom,24 points, for the same amount of points I would have only gotten a 1 bedroom preferred view, I like these standard view rooms along here, very quiet and peaceful, we stay in them quite often, lots of bang for your points buck!

I was also at WDW at this time! (11/12 to 11/16)

I agree that Epcot (the World Showcase especially) got very crowded at night!

It was also kind of windy and rainy that week! But I still had fun. Too bad we couldnt meet!
