    DVC Red Sox Fans - Need advice re: Ft Myers Area! NAPLES info too :)

    Boardwalk III Naples pretty much escaped. I have a brother who has a house in Naples and he lossed one shingle(tile) off his roof. Againi your problem to the Sox will be traffic. Only 2 ways to go North on uS 41 or North on I-75. Allow 1 1/2 hours to Sox field. That is if there is not a wreck...

    good fish/meat market

    We have shopped at Publix in the Ft. Myers area for the last 10 winter seasons. The quality of their fresh fish is very high. I would expect the same in the Orlando area. Don't know about the prime beef. Publix handles US Choice and so does Winn Dixie. Also Publix does fresh Sushi.

    DVC Red Sox Fans - Need advice re: Ft Myers Area! NAPLES info too :)

    Boardwalk III No exageration. From the Sanibel Beach areas it would be at least 50 minutes to the Red Sox. Our condo is close to Summerlin about halfway between Sanibel and the Stadium. It takes me 25 minutes to the Stadium(done it many times and that is if I hit the green lights just right)...

    DVC Red Sox Fans - Need advice re: Ft Myers Area! NAPLES info too :)

    We have owned a condo in South Ft. Myers for the last 10 years. I am also a rabid Red Sox fan and go to 8 to 10 spring games each spring. Our condo is located about 25 minutes from the Stadium which is in downtown Ft. Myers. First thing, you don't want to stay in or near downtown Ft. Myers...

    OKW to Publix grocery

    Tell me again where the closest Publix is. Someone had mentioned that there was a new one opening close to OKW. We will be leaving right after Thanksgiving.

    OKW--pool?

    You might request a building close to the Turtle Pond Pool. That would be the 2nd best pool at OKW. But you would be quite a walk from the HH area if that is important. As mentioned the SSR poll is a good option and a fun hop by boat from OKW.

    Just back-Boma, Flying Fish, Fresh, others

    The FF is my personal favorite. My only complaint is that is so popular they have raised the prices over the years. The potato wrapped fish(either grouper or snapper) is my favorite entree. The wahoo should be very good. I have had it in the past.

    What do you cook in your room for dinner? (and grill question too)

    We are always driving to OKW. WE stop at Publix and buy one of their prepared entrees, a baking potato, wine and dessert. The entrees are usually very good with four of five to pick from. Arriving at 4 to 5PM, it gives us a chance to check in, relax after we unload, drink a martini or two and...

    Food and Wine...get me up to speed, PLEASE

    WE have been about 4 times. Have never done one of the dinners. They are real pricey and sell out fast despite the price. When you enter Epcot you will pick up a brochure which will be a big help to what is going on and tells you the times on the wine seminars and what is being served at the...

    How usual are storms this time of year

    Well, I'm no expert but Atlantic storms effecting Eastern USA are not unusual in August. September and October may be worse. Orlando is not usually affected by hurricanes. Charley was unusual. Of course the last 2 weeks in Orlando have lots of afternoon thuderstorms. I would not worry too much...

    Get me psyched for OKW!

    Not to worry about OKW. Consider yourself fortunate to be at such a beautiful resort and the 2 BR will knock your eyes out. We will be there the week before for five nights in a 2 BR. As an OKW owner we are biased. Never have paid much attention to the Christmas decorations there although there...

    Olivia's at OKW

    We always stay at OKW and have eaten lunch at OKW a number of times. We always get the soup and sandwich. Very good and the CM's are top notch. Dinner was good but the last time we were there the noise level was awful. Mainly because of a large table with a number of children running...

    buy a villa or pionts

    Don't know where Calabay Lake is located. Or baseball city. And I have spent the last ten winters in Ft Myers, Fl. If you mean in the area of Haines City, Fl. there is a baseball stadium there. Not sure it is currently used by a spring training baseball team. In any event, a choice between the...
