    Wilderness Lodge-bus situation

    It also shares with Fort Wilderness. I don't remember but I think it was Epcot that we had to go to Fort Wilderness on the way back to Wilderness Lodge last month.

    Road Warrior Poll: How far did you drive to get to Disneyworld/Disneyland last trip?

    We drive from Tuscaloosa, AL and it's about 580 miles. Takes us about 9.5 - 10 hours. We fly sometimes too but it takes about five hours by the time we leave the house to drive to the airport, and hour and a half flight, and then drive from the airport to WDW.

    Grocery delivery to BRV?

    We stayed at Boulder Ridge last month and used Walmart+. We paid an extra ten dollars for express delivery and got our order delivered in about an hour. We met the driver at the main entrance and carried our groceries back to the room ourselves.

    Walmart for Grocery Delivery

    We used it for delivery to the Wilderness Lodge last month. We paid an extra ten dollars for express delivery and got the order in about an hour. We met the driver at the main entrance and cut out bell services. It was very convenient.

    Best gyms in DVC ?

    I just got back from a stay at Boulder Ridge. We usually stay at the Boardwalk. In my opinion the gyms are about the same. Sturdy Branches has more cardio but it was definitely more crowded than Muscles and Bustles. The strength equipment is exactly the same. Life Fitness brand machines, Smith...

    Vero Beach

    We've stayed for a week every year since 1997. We go for the beach, not to be entertained by local attractions. If you want excitement, go to WDW. If you want to relax, go to Vero Beach. It's not a typical resort town with amusement parks and go cart tracks. If I wanted that I'd go to Panama City.

    Building at Disney Vero Beach

    Personally, I prefer building 12. Seems to be quieter. Not as close to the pool though, if that's important to you.

    VERO BEACH Information & Adoration Thread

    My wife and I will be there May 28 - June 3 in a one bedroom. It will be our 22nd stay. We've stayed every Memorial Day week since 1997 so this will be the 20th anniversary of our first stay. We also were there for NY's Eve 1999. Remember Y2K? We follow this with a week at BWV.

    VERO BEACH 2016 Information & Adoration Thread

    We got here Sunday. Got a 1 br in building 12, my favorite building. Gave us a handicapped room but neither my wife nor I are handicapped. I don't care for the handicapped amenities in this room but I realize some people need it. If that's my only gripe for this trip, I'm very blessed. This is...

    VERO BEACH 2016 Information & Adoration Thread

    Wife and I are staying in a 1 bedroom villa May 29th - June 6th. We have stayed at VBR every Memorial Day week since 1997 and we were there for NY's Eve 1999. So I guess that makes this our 21st time to stay there.

    VB restaurants...reservations?

    I'm at Vero now. Weather has been perfect so far. The only time you may want to make a reservation for a restaurant at the resort is when they have something special going on. Monday night is a character BBQ dinner. All you can eat. Saturday morning is character breakfast. Sunday morning is...

    Gym/spa use?

    I've used it every time I've stayed at BWV, over 20 trips. As a matter of fact, the gym is in the villas building.BTW, they replaced all the Cybex equipment with Life Fitness stuff. Prefer the Cybex equipment personally and some of the machines they removed weren't replaced at all. Oh, well.

    Kidani's Survival of the Fittest...

    There was no Smith machine at Kidani in January. Don't know about at Jambo House. I know that the Boardwalk and Coronado gyms do have Smith machines. Kind of a pain, but as a resort guest, you can use any resort's fitness facilities.

    Is the New Art of Animation Resort Available to Book With Points?

    We are currently staying at the BWV and we went to visit the AoA Sunday night. As previously posted, it's simply a value resort with expensive family suites mixed in. As for the upgraded food court, I guess plastic plates and real metal cutlery are a step up, but not worth the trip in my...

    Resort parking for dinner reservatios

    I just stayed at CSR for a week and parked twice at BC, once at BW, once at OKW and once at POR with no problems. They saw my parking pass and some guards asked for photo ID and some did not.

    Vero beach

    I'm at Vero now. The reason it was crowded was because it was Memorial Day weekend. Sunday and Monday were busy but the pool was only about 50% capacity the past couple of days.
