    SSR Treehouses ... Any Tips/Suggestions

    We stayed in the treehouse villas with 4 adults and 5 kids. It fit all of us comfortably. Bugs were not a problem, and it's still one of my sons favorite Disney stays.

    Which DVC when you are planning to go to Universal?

    We recently got back from 11 days at Disney and 3 at Universal. I would definitely stay onsite at Universal, as was mentioned above, the perks are too good to pass up! It was well worth it!

    Walk from PVB to TTC

    Sorry, just saw this. We were on the first floor, so as stated above you actually get a view of the bungalows with a peek-a-boo of the lake. You can see the fireworks, but not as well as an upper floor room. I guess it was worth it, but I probably won't do it again.

    Aulani in March or April

    Third week of March is traditionally a very busy time in Hawaii because the kids have a week off from school for Spring Break. There is also a big soccer tournament held that week, I tried this past March to get a room on points at Aulani and had zero luck.

    Walk from PVB to TTC

    We just checked out of a lake view room at Moorea a few days ago. The walk to TTC was a lot closer than to the lobby.

    OMG!! What's going on with Epcot FP's?

    We are here now and had the same problems. Talked with the concierge at the Poly and was told you cannot book 2 fast passes for the more popular attractions in our case it was Soarin or test track.

    Treehouse Villas?

    We stayed there in 2014 and loved it. Yes, transportation can be a bit of a hassle with the busses etc... But we were on vacation and the extra 10-15mins didn't bother us.

    Help me decide parks please!

    We are here now and HS doesn't really warrant 2 days IMO. AK on the other hand is great, I'd switch and do 2 at AK and 1 at HS.

    So how hot is it in July

    Here now and it actually feels a little better than West Palm Beach (My 10 and 13yo sons has a soccer tournament there). That said the heat is pretty hard to handle for us and we live in Hawaii. Lots of cold water and hunting for shade will allow you to survive the heat. Due to soccer our last 2...

    Wilderness Lodge or SSR Treehouse Villa

    We stayed at a treehouse in 2014 and of all the places we've stayed that was our favorite! IMO it is a little far to be walking though.

    Does BLT have wireless or cabled internet?

    We stayed at AKV, BLT and OKW in September of 2012...Only place I could get a reliable connection was at OKW...That was the one disappointment we had on our trip...Hope they have addressed the connection issues this year.

    Online check in and credit card

    We recently stayed at OKW, BLT and AKV Kidani....I did online check in and when I got my room cards the ability to charge was put on my card and my wife's. Both of my kids got room cards with no charging privileges. It was already set up when we got to the front desk, I didn't ask, but I think...
