16 cabins so far. For FE have you looked at the threads for ideas? They got some good ones. I usually look at the party store and oriental trading for random things, so many things you can do, heck if you are creative or someone is making magnets is good as well

OMG!!! We'll have to do a DISMEET!!!! Your kids look adorable - how old? Mine are a little older 10 and 16 but good with the little ones. My kids are too old for a studio - or should I say to annoying to sleep with any more! . Wish they weren't it goes way too fast!

Our son is 2, will almost be 3 by the time the cruise gets here. We are driving to Ocala on the 17th, and then driving over to BLT on the 18th. Have you stayed there before? We did at Christmas...it is gorgeous!! We plan on going to the parks on the 18th and 19th. Hopefully we can meet up!!

LOL - as soon as I hit send I noticed only one little guy! What a great age!!! How long does it take you to drive? We live outside Boston it would take us about 24 hours - I think it would be fun sometime but not in Feb - LOL.

We have never stayed at BLT. I am trying to get DH to add on there - we need more points now that we need to stay in a 1BR. I haven't completely decided what we will do but I was thinking of booking a fishing trip for my 3 boys and relaxing by the pool myself - I often get sea sick on the smaller boats - never on DCL though.

I saw you've stayed at OKW we leave for OKW a wk from tomorrow - we are a little nervous about staying there after being so spoiled at AKV. Any tips?

It takes us about 7-8 hours...

We just added on last summer at Bay Lake...the 3rd time we have added on since we originally joined!!

We have stayed at OKW lots of times...I find it real hard to compare it to other resorts, because it is so different. The rooms are much larger than all the other resorts, so that is a good thing. The transportation at AKV has spoiled you, but it isn't that bad. I am assuming you have a 1 BR at OKW? You will love the sq footage there if that is the case...we had a 2 BR this past Feb. and were blown away by the size!!

I was worried about the buses - AKV was awesome. We stayed at SSR on those "extra" points they give you when we first joined and I have to say had a bad experience with the buses. The CMs were really nice at SSR but my kids say AKV is the best - for them. I just hope I don't get a room too far from the HH because I am traveling with my boys without DH. They are awesome to travel with which I have done with them since they were both little because my DH schedule is not as flexible as mine - I only work weekends and I have a perdiem job that if I want to work during the week I can but only if we need extra. But - I don't want to be too far from things for sanity sake.

Have you eaten at Olivias? we have ADRs there. I figure that for dinners I will take a cab when I have to get any where instead of the buses.

I am interested in the running path - just started again this spring - have you done it?

Any other tips?

Thanks
Judith

The buses at OKW are much better than those at SSR (in my opinion.)

I have never done the running trail, but always see people doing it.

We have never eaten at Olivia's.

Sorry...I wasn't much help in this post!!!

Yes you were. It looks like you've stayed at most of the DVCs - whats your fave?

Is this your first DCL? This will be our 3rd - 1 Wonder, 1 Magic, 1 Dream. DH wishes DCL had a VC - LOL. He loves the relaxation of the cruise.

My favorite is probably the Boardwalk. My wife's is probably the Wilderness Lodge. The only one at WDW we haven't stayed at is the Beach Club.

We have been on 3 cruises (2 with our DVC points.) We currently have 3 cruises booked! One in December on the Wonder, February on the Dream, and a 5 night in June on the Dream! We hope Evan likes the one in December because he is stuck on two more!!

 

[jblrn2b]

Evan will have a blast! The new interactive playareas for little ones look phenomenal! He will love it!!!!

DHs fave resort is the Poly but its really the only one he's stayed at - hes hesitant with change - LOL. This will be his first time "Home". He is looking forward to it.

Have you fished at WDW? Think my boys would really like that. Well - better go start dinner since I have to work at 7p.
