Hi Pattiteach, I hope I did this right and I think this is the hotel you were asking about, If it worked I also included the link for you. Have fun

My Best Worst
Best Offsite:

1. Sheraton Vistana Village - simply beautiful, clean, el-perfecto!

2. Windsor Palms (formerly Wyndham) - outstanding value. Huge apartments, nicely furnished (48" TV). Common areas not as attractive as Vistana but you can't beat the apartments anywhere! They are gorgeous. All at least 2BR or larger. The most spacious accomodations I've found in FL ... bar none. Only 1 mile from WDW.

Worst offsite:

1. Buena Vista Suites - inexpensive and it shows. The hotel is clean, but rundown. Stained carpet, cigarette burns on tables, etc. Lobby and free breakfast usually overcrowded due to large tourist group attendance. Pool area is very small. There's no reason for anybody to stay here. With a little research you can find better for the same cost.

2. Sorry, but here goes...HI Kidsuites. Maybe its just the room we had but for a suite it was tiny. Color pattern was too dark. Wallpaper had some sort of wild birds that didn't have any obvious relation to FL. Room showed wear & tear. The free breakfast was absolutely horrible! I don't know how its legal to feed such tripe to human beings. The place was overcrowded. However, it did have a nice pool for kids.

Correction to my above post-

Best - No 1 Was the Sheraton Vistana RESORT (not village).

Sorry for any confusion.

I like the top one. Can you make mine like that with DIS and MJASP? If you made mine already forget about it.

Thanks

 

[Karel]

Wow, Bobby, those look great! Can't wait to slap it on my cabin door!

Is anyone bring SeaSafe? I'm kind of thinking of going with out and just bring hydrocortisone cream.

Yes I did see the magnet, Cindy was looking for the magnets to show me but couldn't find them. They are looking good.

 

[O'BWV]

The magnets look great Bobby!

Thanks for making them.

[Mary Anne]

They look great!

 

[pattiteach]

Thanks so much for making the magnets , I don't want to miss a beat. Where will we meet on the ship? I appreciate everyone's suggestions on the place to stay outside of disney. Because I have only talked to you guys makes the info seem invalueable!!!!!

 

[SeaSpray]

Good morning, everyone

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to all of the couples celebrating!!

And GET WELL SOON to all of us who aren't quite up to par. No more broken bones, illnesses, falls, etc. We have to be in top shape for our cruise in a few weeks!!

Bobby: The magnets look great!! Thank you so much for making them!

Joanna: I've been wondering where Jason's been too!

Bobby: Did you watch the Disney World special on the Travel Channel last night? The lady named Erika, from the Murphy Family, is a long-time DISer!! So is the young lady who was there with her 2 girl friends. There's a thread about it over on the Community Board. Erika's younger son is now 3 yrs old, and I can remember her posting about which resort to visit, while she was pregnant with him, over on the Resorts Board. So...being a DIS member can bring us fame

I just booked another excursion. I booked the "Personal Watercraft" excursion for the day we're at Castaway Cay, for DH and DS16, at 1pm. The 4 of us are doing the Banana Boat excursion at 11am that day, but I think there'll be time to eat lunch between them.

I still haven't booked the Teen Fury Catamaran excursion for DSs. I'll have to check with them to see if they still are interested in this one (they won't be home till next week). Anyone else's teens going to do this one??

 

[admepo]

Hello everyone!

Happy anniversary to all celebrating! We will be celebrating 7 years in Key West on the cruise!!!!!!

Congrats to those doing the doc dance!!

Haven't seen a post from Jason or Travis in a while....maybe they are in WDW for a mini-vacation before the cruise????

Terry...glad to hear you decided to book the waverunners. DH and I are looking forward to it. Hope the hubby is doing better!

Bobby...Magnets look so awesome! We are all so lucky you are so creative! Sorry to hear about your printer but just think - you will be able to save money on the alcohol bill on the ship after we all buy you drinks to pay for the new printer!!!!

Everyone have a great day and will "talk" to you all again later!

Has anybody else started measuring time in "vacation time"... for example... Saturday about 11:30 my husband looked at me and said, "exactly one month from today we'll be in line to board the ship" or... yesterday I looked at him and said, "hmm, you know, a month from today, we'll be shopping at KINO sandals and sweating our butts off in Key West."

Happy Monday everybody!!!

Terry:

What does the personal watercraft excursion include? I don't have my list with me but that sounds interesting.

Hi Lyn:
The Personal Watercraft excursion is basically a waverunner excursion with a guided tour of part of the island, and they explain the eco-system of the island. You can rent a single rider waverunner, or a 2-person waverunner. It's an hour long, and costs $95 for a single rider, and $160 for the double.

Happy Cruisin' Month......

Congratulations to all those Happy couples celebrating an Anniversary this MONTH.

Get WELL wishes to all those that have injuries this month!

Thank you so much for the magnets!

Question: When and where is the DIS meet on Saturday? I must
have missed this critical piece of information.

Another Question: We have decided not to book any excursions....will we feel like we missed out???



Thank you

Pauline

Pauline--

Check out the front page of the August 28th Cruise list for all of the meet info. <a href=http://www.threecircles.net>ThreeCircles.net</a>.

And I don't think you'll feel like you missed out on the whole excursion thing. During past cruises I've elected to do and not to do excursions and have enjoyed both experiences. There is always a lot to do at each of the ports even if you elect to forgo the organized excursions that are offered. Shopping, dining, beaches, etc., etc., etc.

I know exactly what you mean.. WHERE WILL YOU BE IN 3 WEEKS FROM..... .

I just got my son a white dinner jacket.. he is so excited...
