DIS Dads DDC XXII - End of Summer Bash

[moose615]

would love to own at both of those!! BLT was awesome!! Spoiled us by being able to walk over to MK, or take the monorail to epcot. We hadn't taken the monorail to epcot in a very long time.

That short walk to MK is a big draw for our next trip, first trip is DDs choice of hotel next one is mine ( insert evil laugh here)

We've never had that problem there. We have had full busses bit had that at every resort we stayed at. I also found the rides to fairly quick. The longest rides we ever had was the one stay at All Star Movies.

What I don't like about LM AoA so far is its the furthest from the buses but it's value and regular rooms so I cannot complain much

And Sunday night Ownage, no post padding here

BCV is the only one we haven't stayed in the far (East Coast). We haven't been to Aulani or VGC yet.

BCV was nice, but I would have preferred BWV this past trip. The studio was bigger than BLT or what I remember of the BWV studio. The condition of the room was not horrible, but could have been better. We had a partial view of Spaceship Earth, and we could watch the fireworks portion of Illuminations from our balcony.

The downside was that we found ourselves wanting to be on the other side of the lake. It was a PITA to walk around and back with the two kids. If we did BCV again I would make a point to avoid going over to the BW side and keep our ADRs on the yacht and beach club side.

The Pop trip was me and DW for a week, we wanted to stay at a value resort and she liked POP the last time she went, only bad thing is we did not know the parks closed so early in November so we spent way more time at the POP then we had planed. No worries now that we are DVC.

So, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Academy....ok that probably wont happen, but I would like to quote Mark Twain for my 1000th post.

" I was born humble, but I've mostly grown out of it."

Happy Monday Guys!

We bought 4-5 years ago and never regretted it. We committed to going once every 1-2 years and our family was getting big for a standard hotel room (with 3 kids). The suites are amazing and a great way to vacation. At the time, we figured that after 7-8 trips, we'd break even in terms of cost (think of it like a pre-paid vacation rather than a time share). The math has changed a bit now that Disney is offering more suite type options for cheaper costs, but I still think its probably a good deal for new buyers. Good luck!

Thank you for the info, what I'm trying to determine is if it's a good idea when it's pretty much just me and DD, if I meet a woman with a kid I can see it def being worth it but right now with just me and DD prob for the next few trips not so sure it's fully worth it right now
