Maddiemom, we will be there when you are and where you are! I'm sure we'll be running into you sometimes (maybe in the living room/kitchen). Let's see how many other people will be there , not in our room though :) . Maybe we can have a mini-meet at WLV. By the way, I thought you were going to mow this afternoon.:jester: :jester: :jester: :jester:

We tried for the 6-13 but no availability on the 2br at either OKW, BWV or VFW. Had to settle for 9/29 - 10/6. Who cares!!! Our first time going home and we can't wait...

When you are at home at VWL be sure to eat at The Whispering Canyon and ask for Catsup.

Enjoy your visit home! :D

We are planning (way ahead!) for a trip to WDW in Oct/02, and I am wondering just what the weather, crowds and facilities are like at that time of year.

I believe Oct/02 will still be part of the 100 Years celebration, so that will no doubt introduce some wrinkles in the planning that weren't there in previous years.

What has the weather been like for those that have gone in the past? Still plenty warm to swim outside? For comparison - we were just there in May this year and it was plenty warm for us!

We have two children, who will be 5 1/2 and 7 1/2 at the time of the trip. Should we give serious consideration to going later in Oct and taking a night to go to MNSSHP?

Historically, what are the park closing, parade and fireworks schedules like in Oct?

TIA, Jeff

:D We always go in the last week in October. The weather is perfect, in the 70's and the parks are not crowded. We usaully stay at the WL, but this year my daughter wanted to stay at the GF. I heard the GF has a new pool. The wife and I are also going (with NO kids) last weakend in January and staying at the VWL. Also looking to meet other DVCers. I plan on taking a close look at the BCV while at WDW. I will post some pictures of the BCV when I return.

We are going to OKW October 20 to 24th. We are going with two other couples (no kids this trip), one of which have never been to Disney world before! This will also be my first time to Disney without the kids. Relating to another posting about saving points on weekends, we are getting a Grand Villa for Sunday through Wednesday, but for Saturdaynight we are saving points by getting a studio (one of the other couples is meeting us on Sunday so only needed a room to sleep 4). Have a Great Trip!

We will be there Oct 13 - Oct 20 at the BWV. We are so excited because we are staying in a GV! :pinkbounc I'm a little worried about the renovations and the fact that the GV will be renovated soon after we leave. I hope they aren't in really bad shape!

Great to hear the news about the late October crowds and weather. We will be staying at the BWV from Oct 20 - Oct 27. We are taking my parents, sister and BIL and her two kids. We have a full schedule including ... Golf on Saturaday, MNSSHP on Sunday, the Food and Wine festival, and 100th Birthday party celebration. Can't wait to go... 52 days!:D

My wife and I will be at Boardwalk Villas 15th October to 5th November.

If you see an overweight, bearded, balding guy in an electric wheelchair with a petite wife, say hello!

I'll have my lime green ribbon on my fanny pack. If anybody wants a mini-meet, let me know but I'll only be there from 10/17 and leaving morning of 10/22. I'll be at Yacht Club since I couldn't get into DVC property, but it will be fun!!!! I'd love to meet!

We will be there (staying at OKW) 10/20 to 10/24. We always have our DVC tote bag with us when we go to Disney. If you see people with DVC totes say hi, it may be us.

The weather in October should be very warm the first of the month. Also the crowds will still be there especially at MK. The pools will very nice. Night time temps very nice. Enjoy your trip in '02 at OKW.
