We've always enjoyed decorating our window when we've stayed at Value resorts in the past. Since we're staying in the Nemo suites, there really won't be any reason to decorate our window, if we aren't on the first floor. Can you decorate your door? Do they allow you to use tape on the doors?

I took quite a few photos of the grab and go section of the food court when we visited this month. I will have to upload them when I get finished processin all the photos. (over 700 )

We were there in Late January for MLK several years ago, and whole it was cold most of the time there were a couple of days we could have easily been in the pool 70ish). We went in Feburary another year and were in the pool several times no problem.

BTW, we're from Georgia/Florida so we're not exactly polar bears when it comes to swimming weather

Thanks for the info! We'll have a pretty jam-packed schedule but would love to hit the pool area for once if it works out. When we were there in Feb this year, the weather was perfect for walking the parks, but not warm enough for me to get in a pool. It needs to be sunny and probably upper 80s for me to get wet unless the pools are super heated. We shall see I guess.

Anyone know about the WiFi? My hubby is going to need it to check into work. His company will pay for it if there is a charge, but just wondering if there is and if so, how much?

The WiFi worked very well, and it's FREE.

Wi fi was ok in the room. The one day it kept dropping the signal. Phone reception in the suite is terrible.

I am a decorator too, but I cringe at the thought of tape residue left on the doors. Are the interior doors metal? Then you could use magnets!

Great thread, we're staying at LM section for 8 nights in July next year, can't wait.

Looks absolutely fab, and I love Disney overload, so it's no problem to me.

Bit of a bizarre question I think, but do they play music from the films (or even just Disney music in general) throughout the resort?

Well, we had to change from AoA Cars suite to POFQ, now we are moving from POFQ to BWI and we have to drop one night because of DH's job, but I don't mind since we still get to go

Glad you still get to go! And Waaaaarrrrr Eagle! We're neighbors sort of. I'm in Valley but from Beauregard.

No tape is allowed on anything in the rooms at Disney.I have heard of people getting in trouble and even charged a cleaning fee for doing it. but you should be able to put magnets on your door.

NOOOO!!!! That's the only pop I really drink!!

Don't forget that you can order from the gardengrocer.com. They will deliver it right to your room for you. I'm going to try them this year for water, and decaffeinated Pepsi and decaffeinated Coke.

Wow, you're really bouncing around aren't you? I hope this all settles down and you get to go. Is your back getting better at least (I think it's you who has the bad back problem!?!? )?

All WDW pools are heated. I live in a cold Winter area and this is my first Winter/Christmas trip. I can't tell you how excited I am about wanting to swim outdoors in the end of November!!!

3 months to my trip!!!!!!!

No, no back problems for me, thank goodness. I do have a really bad foot, though, getting a second opinion on Thursday afternoon before we leave. Yeah, I am bouncing around, I usually do.

Bummer. My guess is that the LM doors are the same as POP - metal - but then we won't really know until it opens.
