Oh, Kathy I think a THV would be an amazing choice for a Christmas trip! We stayed in one just after they opened in June and they are great..... On the DVC boards they have a Christmas tree share, we participated a few years ago and it was so nice to have decorations. Take a look!
Sounds like a great idea! I love to decorate for Christmas!
It looks like more than enough room. You sound so excited to go in 2011. I know you will plan a great trip!
I still get a bit apprehensive about those Christmas vacation crowds, but it will be worth it to have one last Disney Hurrah with Eddie!
Joe was just talking about a THV when we bring our friends (which might be 2011 or 2012). They look beautiful! The only draw back I see is that they are far from the main buildings of SSR, so you'd just have to plan not to have to go there very often, which is easy enough! I love that they are 3 bedrooms for the price of 2.
From DVCNews.com:
Bus service at Treehouse Villas is via shuttle. A dedicated bus makes the rounds between two treehouse stops, The Springs,and The Grandstand at SSR. You have to take the shuttle, get off at either Springs or Grandstand, and transfer to a different bus leaving the property.
There is a boat dock. Boats run every 20 minutes along this route: Treehouse Villas, SSR, Downtown Disney (Pleasure Island dock), back to SSR, and then to Treehouse Villas to start over again. The boat dock is centrally located. Walking time to the boat dock should be no more than 5 minutes, even from the furthest villas.
Walking: From the Carriage House to the Treehouse Villa area it's about 9-10 minutes.
From the leisure pool in the Grandstand area to the Treehouse Villas it's about 6 minutes.
From the Grandstand parking lot to the Treehouse Villas area it's about 4 minutes.
I've read a few reports on the DVC boards that described the shuttle service as very good.
I think that would be an awesome place to stay! Perfect for a family of "big kids"!
Especially the "big" girl... who will be fifteen... and will not want to share a room, let alone a bed, with her brothers!
The Tree House Villas look amazing!! I think it would be a perfect choice for your gang!
Three bedrooms for the "price" of two is very attractive, point-wise! I wish we could get a 2 BR villa at BLT, but we don't have enough points for the premium season.
I got to see some pictures when my friend Liz and her family stayed at the Tree House Villas. I so hope you get to do it!!
Thanks... they have that comfortable/rustic look... should be very cozy for Christmastime!
... DH and I just talked last night about future vacation plans and because we're planning on going to the Caribbean with friends in 11 we weren't going to plan a trip to WDW that year! I have to get there soon after the refurb is done!!!! If it's complete mid 11 I have to plan a trip!
THV are definitely cool!! I think it's a great option for you guys!
That's a great reason to plan a trip! (As if we really needed another!)
I think that a THV ressie gives us flexibility in case we have any friends, cousins, girlfriends, etc. that wind up coming along!
