and are vacation club owners. 
We stayed offsite last year over 4th of July. It was so exciting there were 2,000 people becoming citizens at MK that day. The fireworks were some of the best I've seen. We arrived early and stayed all day and the parks didn't seem overly crowded compared to Christmas.
We stayed at Marriott Cyress Harbour our family has a time share there. It was nice and big a two bedroom. The tiny bugs at night were really bad near the lights at the resort.
We've stayed lots of places on property
Moderate -PORS beautiful and relaxing hope the boat to DDD.
Deluxe- Love the AKL the pool is breathtaking and calm well most of the time. The animals are a bonus as is Boma for Breakfast. We haven't tried dinner as of yet. We've stayed her four times.
Go fo broke at the Grand Floridian we haven't tried this yet but its just beautiful and close to MK.
Kids in tow the BC is the perfect spot with a "water park" on property.
I would love to stay at the Grand Floridian but that will have to wait unti dd is out of college .... hmmm wonder if she is still planing on med school if so its going to be a long wait...
We arrive sometime in the afternoon/evening of the 4th July so had planned just to do Downtown Disney as we thought the parks might be overcrowded for a first look. Also will have been up rather a long time as flying from UK. Is this a good idea?
How long is your flight? 
here's hoping some pixi dust to a safe trip full of fun memories!
WOW what a long trip! How long is your flight? here's hoping some pixi dust to a safe trip full of fun memories!jthom10003
The plane is due to set off at 9am English time and arrive at Sanford at 1.45pm Florida time. But with a time difference of 5 hours, it'll feel like 6.45pm to us. They look like they keep changing the flight times though. Then we have to collect luggage, collect car, possibly find a supermarket for beer, wine, pop and anything else we've already realised we've forgotten or couldn't get in the UK before travelling. Then find the resort. As much as I hope the magic starts straight away, I think we might be a bit too weary to hit a park. We thought Downtown was probably our best option to acclimatise ourselves. We'll probably be up early anyway the next morning. Hopefully DH will let us hit the parks, at the moment he wants to spend that day chilling.
the Mansion side and have stayed in Parterre Place very quiet and serene but only a short walk to the food court and the pool. Our room faced the water way. We've had a look at the maps and we thought we might look at asking for Oak Manor or building 18 or 27 on the Bayou side. They look to have reasonable close smoking huts (sorry myself and DH took it up again a couple of years ago), so grab an early morning/late evening mug of coffee/tea/etc and a cigarette. We need to work out if we need to sort anything else out yet before ringing. It wasn't a cheap phone call to made the ADR's.
