We too have the Brita pitcher in our OL and change the filter every time we visit. We brought along a Brita squeeze bottle on our last visit and greatly enjoyed that as well. We had purchased a 20 oz bottle of coke & another one of diet coke at the airport and "saved" the bottles for WDW use...

There may still be Christmas decorations at the resorts. We usually go in early January and have seen them up past the 1st, but they will magically disappear overnight!

Our daughter uses a wheelchair/ push-chair, so we have done both bus and car to various parks. Will you be going during a "busy" time or a "slow" time? We go in January and it is often "slow," so keep that in mind about our transportation experience. We have the handicap placard and found the...

Has anyone heard about what will happen to the Pizza Window on the Boardwalk when Spoodles closes? Will a take-out pizza still be available on the Boardwalk?

In general, the Canon FD lenses (for Canon Ftb, F1, AE-1, AV-1,...) for film do not "work" with the digital cameras. The mounts are different so there apparently is an adapter, but I have heard that it does not work well. However, the lenses from the Canon Rebel or EOS film cameras (e.g. AF...

We take Magic Express to and from the airport to the resort. For short trips (4 to 5 days) we tend to not rent a car - it is just not economical. We tried it once and found that the Disney transportation worked well enough. For the longer trips, we'll rent a car for a day or two to get...

We own at both BWV and VWL. As mentioned in the posts, each has their own pluses. We have found VWL to be slower paced with a more relaxed atmosphere. As with all of the DVC resorts, the styles or themes are quite distinct. Our preference is probably BWV because of proximity to two parks, the...

Our decision was both financial and emotional. We visited the DVC office at BWV while we were staying at the Dolphin & then Wilderness Lodge. I had grown up in the Los Angeles area and loved going to Disneyland (emotional). Our special needs daughter was over 18, so we had to pay for an...

Staying at VWL (11th through 15th) and then BWV through 22nd. I'll be doing the half. Ran the half two years ago -- very cold! Hoping for cool weather this time!

I would echo what the others have said. But another cost consideration may be a third adult in the room (I believe +$10 for Value, +$15 for Moderate, +$25 for Deluxe per night). Our adult special needs daughter loves WDW and comes with us. There is no "adult" charge for a DVC room on points...

I have a question for anyone who has DVC in a trust (or trusts): how does DVC membership work with trusts (the ability to make reservations, discounts, etc.)? My wife and I each have trusts. I doubt that we would we put it in both of the trusts. If it is in one trust, does just that person...

We always go in January. As mentioned before, the crowds are only "bad" around the Marathon and MLK. You will need to pack for varying temperatures (high of 80 down to highs in the 40s). We have been lucky and missed rain, but we have been prepared by having clothes that would allow us to...

Our daughter is a big Pluto fan! You may also want to consider the Garden Grove breakfast on Saturday. The Garden Grove is in the Swan (Hotel), just over the bridge from the Boardwalk. The Garden Grove has a buffet, but you can also order off of their regular menu. It tends to not be as...

We (son, daughter-in-law, and I) completed the half marathon in 2006, and I'm going to do it again in 2008. In 2006 I had badly sprained an ankle during the summer and could not run/jog for training, so I decided to walk most of the way. I found that http://www.halhigdon.com offered good...

We did BWV with "no car" except for our first day. We rented a car through DVC (picked it up at the Dolphin) and did groceries,shopping, lunch off-site, and dinner at Animal Kingdom Lodge all in one day. It worked very well. When you have to go from one resort to another (distant) resort, the...

We ate lunch there last Friday and there are some antics, but not at the level of dinner. For example, each table already has a ketchup bottle (at dinner, if you ask for ketchup, then you get ALL of the ketchup bottles!). There were some antics. The food and service were very good. I...

Hi, Just returned from WDW. We were at Epcot on Tuesday and the Lotus Blossum is closed, but they (Lotus Blossum) have a small cart/kiosk by the lagoon that serves a very limited number of items. We were able to get egg rolls there. Jon

Hi, We just got back from WDW yesterday. We were at the Swan on Sunday for the Garden Grove Character Breakfast and saw a banner "Il Mulino New York" above the blocked off door that led to the old Palio Restaurant location. I did a search and found information at...

We have used Cubs Den (located in Wilderness Lodge - entrance is at the Lodge by the door leading to the Villas and Bus Stop), the Simbas Clubhouse (at Animal Kingdom Lodge), as well as the Kids Night Out service and the Fairy Godmother service. For the WDW sponsored childare you may want to...

I too swim masters. I did use the pool at the Dolphin when we stayed there (a little disconcerting doing backstroke because the Dolphin building is at an angle to the pool, the lane lines were not in correctly, and there were no flags). We go in January and I was probably the only one that...
