    How many more days until your trip to WDW - Part 8

    Cannot wait! We've stayed at many resorts, but this is a first time to stay at the Boardwalk Villas! Awaiting our Magic Bands and luggage tags, and already pre-packing (mainly setting aside stuff we reserve for vacation, but don't judge me, LOL). Happy dancing my way to Disney!

    Going 10/17-10/24, Will we be offered bounceback?

    The tiny print on the brochure says it is valid until December 20th, so you should be in plenty of time to book the offer - just an FYI, when we called to book our bounceback, we found that they now require a 2-day MYW pass for each person.

    A Little Potter and a Lot of Magic - September 2010 Trip Report

    Had to sub - we just got back Tuesday night from 2+ weeks at Disney and a side trip to Universal to see WWofHP also - staging and scenery are indeed amazing and defy apt descriptions, but you're doing a wonderful job!!!

    How many more days until your trip to WDW part 4

    One week from this Friday, as well. Then it's 18 days of glorious Disney World!!! (Only 14 of it is on the dining plan, that's when the packages all max out, but it's worth it!!)

    Caribbean Beach Resort FAQ Part 3

    We were there from 9/4-9/19 and had a 2nd room for part of the trip. The main room had a flyer, the second room did not. Also, most people we talked to about it at the pool or on the buses did not know anything about it. They may have (1) not gotten the flyer, or (2) not really known what it...

    Just confused.

    We chose to wait a few times this year, due to my problems with my back & hip). It's easy to stand and wait if I'm not bouncing around and being jerked around by the starts and stops of the bus. That said, there were times when my husband and/or son gave up their seat to someone else and most...

    Caribbean Beach Resort FAQ Part 3

    Yep, it's a large roofed structure with a back wall and partial walls on each side. They have ceiling fans and lights and benches. Also, they usually have newspaper stands (USA Today) and a soda machine at each. There are also trash cans and a resort phone and heart defib machine at each...

    Caribbean Beach Resort FAQ Part 3

    We watched from the pool a couple of times, it was wonderful! I ended up wiping out at the MNSSHP one night (I fell over a tripod sign's legs on the 16th) and my knees were so sore afterward that I spent a good bit of time in the pool afterwards (less weight on my knees) and really enjoyed...

    Back from Caribbean 9/4-9/19 stay

    Some may still think that it is included. I guess my whole problem with the service regardless of the tip is that free dining is, bottom line, simply a discount that the guest is getting. Much like a 30% room discount. No one would accept the housekeeping only being done partly or only being...

    Back from Caribbean 9/4-9/19 stay

    We arrived at about 11:30 on Sept. 4th. During the check-in process, we did decide to upgrade to a preferred location and got 2630 in Martinique. The room was clean with one exception. The refrigerator had not been cleaned out after previous guests checked out. There were containers, a...

    Caribbean Beach Resort FAQ Part 3

    We just got back as well (9/4-9/19). We did ask for the salads to exclude some ingredients a couple of times (specifically the chicken in the oriental noodle salad) and they were happy to comply. Also, they do serve a buffalo chicken sandwich and plain chicken breast nuggets (chunk breast...

    09 FD Bounceback Wait

    Not going to be there until Thursday, but my understanding is that there is a 30% discount with FD if you book at SS or OKW. Everything else right now is just FD. I haven't seen anyone be successful at booking that yet, though, and the last notice about it I read here was that they hadn't...

    OK - seriously - is there ANY good food in DHS???

    I agree! For us, that's the only things we do like at DHS (nope, not even impressed with Brown Derby, it was fair, not great). The curry and cuban sandwiches are very good (so far), and we used to love the tabbouleh that they had. If you box yourself in to much, you are apt to miss some very...

    Opinons on Shutters

    Good and bad dishes. Worst pasta dish I've ever had (literally tasted like they had poured straight vinegar over it), but that said, the crispy chicken wings (apps) were extremely good and the french onion soup was so very good, it would make you drool. Otherwise, my DH thought the prime rib...

    Caribbean Beach Resort FAQ Part 3

    They had them last year. No need to sign in or out or anything, they were in bins near the pool. I'm assuming they will still do something similar after the reno, it's a safety thing.

    What is the best room deal you've ever gotten?

    This goes back to 1993. My husband was blessed to get the best CM in the world when he called to price a couple of rooms for ourselves and his BIL and SIL. The rates were fair, but then she asked him if he would consider a special 'manager's special' that had just started. She literally had...
