Oops! I almost forgot! A few views from BLT studio 7523 . . .
Across the room, toward the balcony:
Early morning on my last day:
I am far too excited to visit the CR considering my vacation is still 7 months away.
. mickeynut1 - I really hope you love CR as much as we do!!! I honestly did not think I would, but once we stayed I am hooked
.....but I'm thinking we will love our stay 
.
We ALL hate leaving so we know just how you feel right now - but you'll be back next at BLT, right? You have some additional challenges with your DS and I can only imagine how stressful the trip home might be for you. Does he like to talk about his trips? Would he be okay talking about the monorail? Maybe he could focus on listing all the colors he rode in this trip and the Ironmanorail and which monorail cards he has? You're a great mom and it's wonderful that your son has been given the gift of Disney.Well it's that time....
We will be leaving the CR around 10:45 for the airport. Just an FYI....although we take a car service to/from the airport, we bring our luggage down to ME approx 3 hours prior to flight departure and then we don't need to worry about the luggage until we reach our final destination.
Leaving is always so difficult. Our autistic son always seems to go thru a "gagging" bout to and from the airport. We constantly try to "snap" him out of it by trying to engage his mind on something else but doesn't seem to work most of the time. This is probably my only stress with traveling. Someday I hope he gets over this.....poor kid.
Of course the weather is beautiful now, and will be for a while....so those leaving ENJOY! We will be bringing home the nasty weather with us back to Boston lol. You're welcome.

Getting in their head can be so difficult sometimes. 
Why the switch?
I had looked at a split stay but DH nixed that idea. But of course after looking into AKL, I really wanted to stay there and thought it might mean a bit more relaxed vacation this time around. It also meant I could add another night for the same price!

You read it right (I wrote it wrong
). I just updated the NEWS portion in Post #1 to reflect that the Garden Wing has begun its soft goods room rehab. I don't have a completion date yet.

We'll be there this August, and I have to keep reminding myself that we can WALK to MK!!! 
Oh good!! I thought I was going crazy!!
So my teacher husband has the first week of April off for spring break next year and with Easter not until April 20, I've decided we are totally going then instead of our annual August trip for 2014.
Is it bad that I haven't ever stayed at CR and I'm already thinking of my second visit?

My son, who has autism, also has a gagging problem. He tends to gag more when he is stressed. I feel so bad for him; because, so many people stop and stare at him. It's hard not to stare because, the gagging is so loud; but, sometimes people keep staring and it only makes things worse for him. I also have found nothing to stop him from gagging.
The reason we go to disney is for my son. He has such a difficult life with Autism and he is always sad and anxious; but, when we go to DW he just has so much joy. The smiles are endless. The trips are priceless.
We are staying at BLT in Sept. Can't wait! My son is so excited for the jacuzzi tub.
Enjoy Your vacation!
. We surprisingly got lucky yesterday. He was gagging a little bit early on before we left the CR (and crying because he didn't want to leave), but Hubby took him around on the monorail a couple times and somehow that did the trick. No more gagging (and I even warned the Limo driver to assure him that my child would not get sick but that he may start gagging)....but he never did from that point on!
We were able to get him to watch Philharmagic this trip....AND went to see Fantasmic!! We're so happy we have a couple more rides to add to the list! Oh if only we could get him onto the fast rides (like my favorite BTMRR)! Maybe someday!!!
Weather will be much better the first week of April! May be rainy but less hot and humid. I just checked out spring break and it is earlier than yours so if the rest of FL is in school that week you should have a fantastic time!!!
And YES you can WALK to the MK!!! It's one of our favorite things about CR
