Hi there everyone, I'll try this again, as I lost the first post somehow
Here's my trip report for our stay during Pres week...
Travel Party: Me and DH, we also met some friends there, they just bought last year.
Place: BWV!!!!
Dates: Sunday afternoon, Feb. 19th - Saturday early a.m. Feb 25th.
We had a standard studio for two nights and then a standard one bedroom for the remaining four nights.
I think the studio was 5029, not too far from elevator. It was in perfect condition, clean and fresh with everything in working order. I made a fool of myself and called front desk because I thought this studio was smaller somehow (was told they are all the same size) and I wanted to know where the coffee table was and the CM said there are no coffee tables in the studios!
However, I did notice that this studio didn't have that little daybed either.
I also finally came to the realization that I'm a spoiled DVC brat, as I decided that I'm no longer a lover of the studio's in that I don't like the fact that there's only one night table and no coffee table. I also really miss the jacquzzi and the washer/dryer. That being said, I booked studio's for upcoming trips anyway, cause they are lovely and staying in studio's gets me there more often!
Anyway, we landed around 6 p.m. on Sunday and headed straight to ME as we only had carry-ons. It took about 30 minutes altogether, between boarding and leaving. I think the bus driver was waiting for more flights to come in. We were, If I remember correctly, the third or forth stop. So by the time we got to the resort, of course our room was ready, so we dropped everything off and met our friends (who arrived on an earlier flight) for dinner at Big River Grille! Man oh man do we LOVE being at the BW and the entire area!!! Missed it bad!
Day 2: Monday, We met up with our friends and explored EPCOT. It was way more crowded than I expected, but then again it was President's Day.
We didn't even get to ride Soarin cause our FP's were during our dinner reservation, so we just gave them away. We did try to go back during the day, but the wait was 90 minutes, so we skipped it. (we've been there many times, so it didn't kill us to miss it
)
We did do the Universe of Energy, TT, Innoventions and all the countries, as well as getting to see some great "street" performers outside of the countries. We had pastries in France and beer in Germany! Did I say I love being here?!
We had late dining reservations, so we headed back to the BW and met up with some more friends from home, who also belong to DVC and were passing through on their way to Vero Beach. We had some drinks in ESPN and really enjoyed some good laughs! It was awesome!
We headed back to EPCOT for our dinner reservation at R&C and got to see Illuminations at the end of our meal. It was a most perfect day. We did however pass out about 10:00 pm!!! No more all nighters for this group! The drinks in ESPN aided in early bedtime too!
Day 3: Tuesday, we all decided this was going to be a late relaxing morning and a non park day. The weather was absolutely perfect, in the 70's with low humidity. We lazed around, had coffee on our balcony, and I even got a good walk in around the BW a few times. Then we met up with our friends and headed over to DTD. We had lunch outside Earl Of Sandwich, (yum) and shopped for awhile. Then we had sundae's at Ghiradelli's!
But, of course!
Then we went over to SSR because our friends actually bought there site unseen and wanted to see it. They loved it, although they did say it was way bigger than they thought! They will love it for sure though. We stayed there once and it was wonderful.
We headed back home, parted from our friends and relaxed in our rooms for awhile. Then we met up for dinner in ESPN. (this time we actually ate!
)
Then we went over to the quiet pool by the inn and just relaxed and enjoyed each other's company. No one wanted to rush around anywhere.
