    Anyone stay at the Broadmoor on points?

    We'd love to have you come on back! We're getting snow here right now, but that, IMHO, makes the resort really look terrific! Seven Falls is indeed a great place to visit, and I would recommend a half-day trip to the Royal Gorge - highest suspension bridge in the world. Just have fun while you...

    Anyone stay at the Broadmoor on points?

    I think you will find the Broadmoor a magnificant resort, they have once again garnered the AAA 5Star rating. The mountain view is a really majestic view of the East slope of the Rockies, that jump up less than a mile from the hotel. Be aware, they are in the first stages of a major renovation...

    Room Report - OKW Disappointing

    While we have heard noise from adjoining units from time to time, I have never considered it to be that excessive. Hopefully it was just because of the wood floors in the GV. Glad to hear that you did have a good experience with both the course maintenance folks and the ducks (we love them...

    Never stayed at OKW before - What should we know for Jan trip?

    Our experiences have been much the same as Diane's. We have never had a bad view from any room, though we do prefer the golf course. It's a lot of fun to watch the golfers in the morning. As for transportation, the busses have always been right on for whereever we have been going, though we also...

    Question on Rumor of OKW Slide

    First off, disneyokw, I must agree with you about Angelo and Eddie. They are truly a couple of great CMs and go a long way to make our stays at 'Home' more pleasant. To get with the thread, it looks like I am in the minority when I say that we are pleased to see a slide coming to OKW. Yes, we...

    Help with ticket choices please!

    I'm having almost the same dilemma you are Michelle. We are heading down for 7 days in October. As of now, I'm debating between the PHP and the UPH to get the most bang for our bucks. :confused: The main benefit of the PHP is that we can save unused days and plus options for our next trip, while...

    Non-park ideas for first timers arrival day

    I'll give another vote for a turn on on the Monorail through Epcot, then the MK resorts ending at the CR for your dinner PS. That should give a pretty good exposure to the world to Mom without wearing everyone out. And coming from the AKL, you will see a good part of everything. Have a great time!

    Where is the best place to buy a watch in the World?

    I prefer either Mouse Gears at Epcot or the World of Disney at DD, with a slight leaning toward Mouse Gears. That is where I have purchased 4 of my last 5 Mouse watches. HTH Joe

    Can you walk from MK to GF ?

    Grumpy is correct John. The walkway stops at the canal where they store the Electric Water Pagent barges. Now, you could take the ferry over to the TTC and walk from there. There is a path through the Poly and over to the GF that goes past the luau cove and wedding chapel. HTH Joe

    map from OKW to DTD

    Doc, and his lovely wife, Mrs. Doc, do this walk often when they stay at OKW. If I remember correctly, he said it takes about 20-30 minutes, depending on your motivation and pace. We have typically taken the boat from the Hospitality House, it's a relaxing ride and only takes about 10 minutes.

    Which States Can Buy SSR?

    I haven't seen anything in Colorado yet. We have to use a broker in-state, other than that it is the same as dealing with DVC in FL.

    1B at OKW or 1B at BWV?

    Congratulations! It has been a while. Have a great trip with the grandkids, I'll bet it will be as big a thrill for them as for you.

    1B at OKW or 1B at BWV?

    Doc, with that Grandchild of yours, you need to figure out about the Transformer thing. Even my DD was into them for a bit.... :rolleyes:

    Convince me to buy into DVC, please.

    The AP discount is applied to hotel costs by Disney for specific times of the year. The times, and amounts of the discount, will vary depending on what WDW needs to push for the specific period. There can be some very good deals made with the AP discounts if you have the flexability to plan your...
