DH and I got back on Saturday from 5 nights at OKW. We had incredible weather and a great time. We were in a studio (3220) in the Old Turtle Pond area. Great location for us - near the bus stop (view could have been better, but that isn't a complaint). The room was in perfect condition and non-smoking which we had requested. We checked in at 3:30 and they told us that the room was ready.Spotless and everything was in great shape. But as has been reported before on these boards, make sure you turn on the refrigerator because it seems that mousekeeping is turning them off after cleaning. We went to the Winn-Dixie for groceries. Great prices and very good selections.
We decided to not do the parks this time. Had plenty to do without them! Went to Cirque du Soleil on Tuesday night. La Nouba was fabulous. Great show and we got the special prices which were in effect up until March 31. We paid $14 a ticket less than people sitting in the same seats two days later. Great deal!
Spent time at both the main pool and the quiet pool at Turtle Pond. No problems with chair saving;
Went to Pleasure Island on three of the nights. Enjoyed the Comedy Warehouse and our beloved Adventurers Club. Kungaloosh
I don't know how long this deal is lasting, but if you paid an extra $5 when you left Pleasure Island after your first visit you were entitled to 5 more consecutive nights. This was an awesome deal. With our DVC discount it pretty much cost us the same as a ticket at the window.
We're both big baseball fans (Go, Cubbies!) and we went to the last Braves spring training game against the Astros. What a beautiful ballpark. If you're ever down there during spring training don't miss the opportunity to go to a game. Spring training games are a great place for the kids, too. The players are very good about giving autographs and the proximity to the field is awesome.
Had some wonderfull dinners onsite and off. Olivia's was very good and Whispering Canyon Cafe at WL was fun and good food. Don't miss Bahama Breeze when you're down there, but go early. It gets very busy after about 6:30.
Lots of welcome homes. Wish we were back there. Oh well, we'll just need to plan for next year!!

Now how do I afford more points and more time off from work to use them?
