    Near Paddock

    I could be completely offbase, but I'm guessing it is an error - The Paddock is over at Saratoga Springs Resort. Tom

    This year I believe the NFL rented the entire Four Seasons for the Pro Bowl - maybe they are moving to the GF DVC for this year!

    French Quater compared to Riverside

    I find FQ quieter than POR - plus they have beignets. Tom

    Having trouble deciding

    I'd also say Port Orleans, but suggest French Quarter as it is much quieter -- my experience was less kids there, and the boat is closer to Disney Spring, plus they have beignets!!!!!! Walk over to POR and take in YeeHaw Bob's show in the RiverRoost lounge -- that is great fun. Tom

    BOULDER RIDGE VILLAS & COPPER CREEK VILLAS & CABINS: Wilderness Lodge DVC Expansion Thread

    @Babsy we also considered purchasing PVB - however, when we realized that what DVC wanted for a unit there was about 5 times what we paid for our beachfront timeshare on Kaanapali Beach in Maui -- we passed. Tom

    My ticker is off -- t minus 1 3/4 days and counting. Flight leaves at 8am Wednesday......time to go buy a suitcase. But for all my friends that worry I don't pack in time - everything is out in the guest bedroom ready to go into the suitcase. Should I actually stop and buy the new one on...

    Swan and Dolphin. Wife very hesitant

    I've stayed at several of the "REAL" deluxes, and will be staying at the GF next week for 7 days. There is very little "theming" offered at the GF that isn't offered at the Swolfin. As a matter of fact, when we do F&W, we've made a conscious effort to stay there. Even if we aren't using...

    @TJA you are not kidding! Our first stay at the GF came about this way. We booked CBR in late May for an October stay. In late August I got a call from someone in guest relations....due to maintenance issues, they would like to move us to the GF for only $100 more. My response, I don't...

    There is no slide at the Courtyard (main) Pool. You are correct -- I had mixed up the two pools! The one with the water slide is the one with the Mad Hatter Splash Pad, correct? That would be the Beach Pool, not as I had incorrectly said the main pool earlier! Tom

    Family of 6 with young kids. Help me decide!

    We did AOA with 5 of us -- and the youngest was 15 -- the "kids" ranged from 15-25, plus me, the old man. We loved every part of staying at AOA -- we were all together instead of separate rooms, we all had comfortable sleeping arrangements PLUS2, count them 2 full bathrooms. I'd highly...

    The Outer Building CL is Sugarloaf. I believe there is an arcade next to Gasparillas No construction currently ongoing -- I will confirm that in 10 days. Yes, there is a nice walking path, which takes about 10 minutes between the GF and the Poly. Usually on our Epcot days we will walk over the...
