We arrived yesterday. Checked in around 8am, GV ready about 3pm. Had fun that morning swimming and just lazing around while we waited for my parents to arrive.

The GV is perfect. Ground floor in building 48, and it's great for my mom and her wheelchair - very accessible.

The tree is up, and we've a few lights up around the gv as well. Might do some shopping today, not sure if we'll do the parks until tomorrow.

The resort looked pretty empty when we first checked in, but a lot of people seemed to arrive during the day - still, even the main pool only ever had a couple of people in it during the day (maybe people think it's too cold to swim, but the weather is wonderful).

There's a new Winn-Dixie on 535; just turn left rather that going across to Goodings, the WD is about 2.5 miles down on the right - just past the ABC Liquor Store, Very convenient and closer than any other reasonably priced store.
 
Glad you got the ground floor GV! Have a great trip!

In case they missed it at the front desk....Welcome Home!
 
Sounds like your vacation is off to a great start!

What fun it must be to actually be "home" for Christmas.

Maybe someday:)
 

FFMickey...

Have a wonderful Christmas holiday in your GV. How long are you staying?
 
Glad you made it safe. I know there was alot of struggle to get this trip planned. Wished we had been able to keep our original plans and meet you guys while down there.

Happy Holidays.

After my thread a few days ago I'm glad that they do have a ground floor GV at OKW. I may try to book it one of these days. Meanwhile have a great time. Make sure you do the CP at Epcot and the Osbourne Lights. We saw them a couple of weeks ago. Great.
 
We'll be here intil the 28th, then up to HH until the 2nd, then back to Orlando at the new Fairfield Inn at Universal Studios, then on the 6th we head home.

Weather is wonderful - some thought it was cool this morning, but it's wonderful none the less.
 
Sounds perfect! We just left OKW on the 9th, and I'm already home sick!

Have a great vacation, and enjoy all the holiday activities..Disney offers some great holiday shows!

Enjoy!
