    DVC studio or moderate

    This is all great feedback. Thanks - and keep it coming. Factoring into the final decision will be if we are 4 or 5 people. If we are 5 it will be 2 teenage girls so aside from comfort for all of us, a place that has something of interest for them or allows them some autonomy will play into the...

    DVC studio or moderate

    I put in mid June 2018 ( for an estimate) on Davids DVC and came up with BCV studio at $544. BWV at $448 or 560, and BRV at $528 all for 2 nights, if I was reading correctly so I hoped I could do it for $500ish. Maybe not?

    Friends and I were in Disney 7 years ago and we rented a golf cart to look at the Christmas decorations. I recall there were specific loops that really go all out.

    Minnie Van, Uber or Taxi

    Planning for a future trip (June 2019) for 4 adult ladies. Might stay on property or might stay at Wyndham Bonnet Creek, not sure yet. Assuming by then the Minnie Vans are available property wide (though I know not at WBC), why would I use that over a taxi or uber? However, would I be able to...

    Does anyone have the most current shuttle schedule to the parks and what is the cost of the shuttle? It seems taxis to the parks average $15-$20 with tip depending on where you are going and Uber is a bit less. Thinking of a stay here but don't want to rent a car.

    Size of the sleeping/living area of a room

    There are many threads on the boards regarding room sizes. It is helpful to know square footage but what may be more useful is how much of that footage is devoted to the sleeping/living area. I’ve read reports of some rooms where there are long hallways that lead from the entrance to the room...
