TREE HOUSE VILLAS!!!

omg omg omg!!! i'm so excited!!!

we closed our resale on thursday and today, wednesday, we're in the system. hurrah! the resale we got was SSR and we will have an extra 198 points that were banked so we thought it would be fun to take my aunt, uncle and their three kids (ages 10, 9, and 7) with us.

last week in january - 6 nights, 4 adults, 3 kids, and one infant(my ds who is 9 months old now)!!!

i'm off to find all your great tips on THV is it worth calling back requesting a specific tree house? does it really matter?

I know the thrill of getting the desired reservation. For me it was an AKL Concierge studio. The MS rep just didn't seem to get my excitement!

I think it makes it difficult for them in assigning rooms if you request a specific number.

You should request what is important to you.....near bus stop, near pool, near walkway to Grandstand, etc.

Of course, I booked on Day#1 when reservations opened for THV, and requested near walkway to Grandstand for 1/1/10.

When we arrived, we were given 7403? - closest to road and furthest from Grandstand. Luckily they were able to move us right then and the room was ready at 1:00 p.m. They were wonderful. We had 9 in there, and never felt cramped.

Have a great time!

We stayed at THV in October. It was wonderful! I worried about the buses before hand after reading all the posts and questions that I almost switched our ressie. I'm so glad I didn't! You'll love it!

The one thing that concerned us was the bus situation, since we wouldn't have enough cars for everyone to take to the parks. So, we really wanted to be close to the walking path. Most mornings we just walked over to the Grandstand and hopped our bus there. It's the first pick up so we were pretty much guaranteed a seat. Our THV was also right next to the bus stop, so we could look out the window and see when the bus went past and know the next one would be there in about 10 minutes. This bus then went and dropped us off at the Springs? and we would have to wait for a park bus there. With the stroller and all, we found it easier to just walk to the Grandstand. It wa also an easy walk to the Lobby, restaurant, store, etc. We didn't have much of a view, but that wasn't my big concern.
