    Old Key West

    Love Old Key West. Have stayed in a studio and 2 different 1-bedrooms. The rooms are so much larger than the other DVC resorts and very clean. Bus transportation is a little different as there are at least 4 stops as the bus winds through the resort. It may be easier to drive to some parks...

    Back from Christmas at Old Key West

    Check out allearsnet.com for a map of Old Key West. We've stayed in buildings 11 and 43. Both were fine. I liked 43 best as it had nice views. Ask for a 2nd floor - no one above you! The villas are nice and quiet!!

    Back from Christmas at Old Key West

    CBR is a beautiful resort - we've stayed there 3 times. 25 is a great building! Stayed there our 2nd time and were upgraded to a water view for free which was very nice. 25 is right next door to Old Port Royale which is nice if you plan to use the food court. Just like all resorts CBR has...

    Back from Christmas at Old Key West

    Had a 1-bedroom villa (not on points-thru CRO). Old Key West is our new favorite resort! Weather was good until Christmas which was pretty rainy. Parks were crowded. Had a great time! Any questions - just ask! :santa:

    POR - More housekeeping issues

    Riverside is our favorite resort. I can't even keep track of the number of times we've stayed there. In the past 12 months we've stayed there just 3 times. :rotfl: I hate to say it but mousekeeping has been declining for a while. Some mousekeepers are great; some aren't. We've been lucky...

    Moderate resorts you stayed at...

    You really can't go wrong with any of the moderates. The rooms are larger than the values, the landscaping is terrific, and they all have extra benefits. I would rank them as follows: POR CBR CSR POFQ :yay:

    POR warning

    We've stayed in most every resort and have loved most of them. However, Riverside is our favorite. It is beautiful, rooms are clean and the fridges are a good touch. The food court is good and reasonable. The mansion/bayou difference is such a plus. The pools are plentiful and good. We've...

    Disney kennels?

    We used the Disney kennels in April, May and July. We used the Ft Wilderness kennel in May and July. We had the same daytime staff member each time. She was wonderful, caring and cleaned up after our pup when needed since he was a little tyke in May. We will not hesitate to use them again. :)

    Disney kennels?

    The Disney kennels are fine. We've used both the MK and the Ft. Wilderness kennel. We like Ft. Wilderness better. Staff is friendly and helpful. The kennels at AK, MGM and Epcot are accessed through the park parking lot so I didn't think these were good choices. Ft. Wilderness is easy to...

    mashed potato issues...???

    I've had them both ways. Best thing to do if you're at a sit down restaurant is to ask your server. Disney makes some great mashed potatoes - yum yum!! :wave2:

    PO Riverside or CBR - Need help!

    Both resorts are beautiful in their own way, but I would also definitely choose POR. POR has much more to do, better food, better bus service and the trundle bed is a big plus (you need to request alligator bayou as the mansion rooms do not have trundle beds). There are no elevators in any of...

    Has anyone stayed at every DW resort?

    Working on it!! Left for us is Boardwalk, Boardwalk Villas, Beach Club Villas and Saratoga Springs. Also don't consider Swan and Dolphin to be "real" Disney resorts, but hope to stay there some day too. Favorite resorts for us are Port Orleans Riverside, Wilderness Lodge/Villas, the Poly...

    Just back - 4th of July

    We were in alligator bayou 39. We were told we got the last AB room. It was fine. We don't spend time at the food court and drive to all of the resorts but MK. The room was quiet and had a beautiful woods view. We love Riverside in total, but love the AB much better over the mansions...

    Just back - 4th of July

    This was our 2nd stay at OKW. The first time we had a studio. This time we had a 1-bedroom villa. The villa was spectacular! Full kitchen, queen sofa bed, loveseat, easy chair, huge TV, dining room table, full-size washer and dryer, king bed, huge bathroom. Very relaxing! We were in...

    Just back - 4th of July

    I would say that the 4th of July week is beyond peak. It was very, very crowded. We had been to the world the past 4 Christmas's and this week was much, much busier. Average wait times for the popular rides were 60 - 90 minutes. Fast passes were available but many times the fast pass line had...

    Just back - 4th of July

    Had a great 6-night stay at the world! Stayed at Riverside the first 3 nights in the alligator bayou and then switched to a 1-bedroom villa at Old Key West the last 3 nights. The world was very crowded and humid, but we had a really great time!! Any questions, ask away!! :wave:

    Disappointed at POR Riverside. Is this normal?

    I also think this is out of the ordinary. We checked in on 12/24 and had superb customer service and a room was ready. I would also chalk this up to the world being so busy at Christmas - it seemed to be a very busy year! I also had horrible customer service at CSR. Our stay at the...

    Back from Christmas at Riverside

    Sad to be back - we had a wonderful time!! We were trying to remember how often we've stayed at this resort - we think at least 8 times. This was one of the best times! Resort: Arrived on Christmast Eve at 8:20 AM to check-in. Room not ready, but I requested a switch to a room that was...

    Liberty Tree or Crystial Palace

    LTT is first choice; CP is 2nd choice. LTT is quieter and slower - a break from the park. CP is bright and noisy and busy - lots of fun, but very busy. LTT has less selection, but the food is good. CP has a bigger selection and the food is pretty good. You really can't miss with either one...
