Wow! Sounds like a terrific trip to me!

Welcome home - would love to hear your highlights ...... and hope you didn't have any lowlights but if you did, would like to hear about them too.

Wow! That sounds like a GREAT trip! We have only one leg of that planned for our next Disney experience. Where did you stay at OKW?

Just wondering if anyone has stayed perhaps in one of the Grand Villas in building 63? I know there is an elevator in this building but does that mean the Grand Villa is on the 2nd and 3rd floor?

Hi Debs,
Looking forward to hearing all about when you get chance.

The cruise was fantastic, but 4 nights just wasn't long enough! It was my husband, myself and our 3 yr old son Jake and we had a Cat 8 stateroom with ocean view. The porthole/window was huge and the room nice. Alas no up-grade to a room with a balcony! ha! ha!

The ship is gorgeous, although in 4 nights we didn't get to experience it all. The restaurants generally were good, but Palo was outstanding! Make reservations there as a MUST!!! We saw the Disney Dreams show and Golden Mickeys, but missed Hercules as I was sea sick the first night!!!! didn't get to sample the night time entertainment due to Jake!

We went on the Blue Lagoon Beach day at Nassau, which was lovely. The current in the water was quite strong, but i t was warm and it was a nice beach. Castaway Cay was brilliant, could have spent longer there.....sea noticably colder than Blue Lagoon!!! Nice lunch! Lots of characters!

any specific questions please feel free to ask away.......

OKW......what can I say?! Our home resort is BWV, and this is the first time that we've stayed at OKW......and we fell in love! We were in a 1 bed in building 45 with a view of the waterway whcih was nice. We loved the bigger units, the quiet, the community feel and the friendlines of the resort....so much so that we are trying to add on some points!

Sounds great Debs --i have to say i think OKW is the best resort - even though it is our home resort lol -- mind you HH comes a good close second.

When we try HH I'll let you know! It does sound like a great place for some R+R.

We love BWV for it's location, but I think OKW makes a great second part to a trip. We re on the wait list to add on points, so hopefully something will come up soon!

We have added on at VB, and it will be on first trip there next time. Has anyone out there stayed in the Beach Cottage before? I would love to, but there are only 3 of us to rattle around in it!!!!
