Well, we just returned home last night.
9/11-9/18
Our (DH, myself, DS and DH's sister) first trip to BCV. DH and my first trip home. We had a fantasmic time.
We have stayed at OKW studio, BWV studio and WL studio on rented points before. This time was BCV 2 bedroom! On our own points. Awesome!! A friend and fellow DVC member said once you have stayed in a 2 bedroom you will never go back to a studio. Well, I will have to say they were right.
First our requests-Non smoking, dedicated and Epcot view.
What we recieved-Non smoking, dedicated and villa pool view.
Our room was not ready until 4 pm. We arrived at 11 am. We were a little put off at first but hey, we were at WDW and on vacation. We got over it. Again we were put off that we did not get the Epcot view. But again who cares, we were at WDW. I tend to be an optimist and don't let the little things bug me. And believe me view and the wait were little things, especially compared to what those who were affected by the hurricanes had to deal with.
Our room was OUTSTANDING! Immaculate, everything in working order and as far as we could tell everything was there that was suppose to be there.
To me the parks were empty up until Wed afternoon. Then it seemed to pick up. Still very managable. Our longest wait was for Test Track 20 min.
We have been going to WDW at least once if not twice or three times a year since 1991. But this trip seemed more special (if that is possible) More then likely because of being a DVC member.
This was a week of firsts for us. First time on points, first time in 2 bedroom and first time to eat in some different resturants. We tend to get into a rut and eat at the same places. So we decided to break out of the rut and try some new. We tried and loved Cape May Cafe, Garden Grille. Just to name 2. We wondered why we never tried them before. We WILL go back to both.
Now I just need to be able to start planning our next trip!
