and i'm sad. so, so sad!! I want to be back there right now!! Anyways on to business.....
We loved BLT!! It was very cold the week we were there with only 2 days making it into the 60's with very strong wind gusts. My DH was actually able to make it down for 2 days and my mom was there for the whole trip in his place. Thank you DVC!!
We stayed in a lake view studio 8437. i was so concerned that it would be very tight for us 4. But it worked out surprisingly well. My mother (who can be a snob to say it nicely) was very pleased with the studio even though it was small. We both thought that the queen bed was very confortable and my boys didn't complain about the sofabed at all. They liked it! I loved having the sofa there and folded up during the day. so nice to be able to lounge and sit on instead of a bed. There was more space to store things than i thought there would be. Still put empty luggage infront of the lock off door. perfect spot for it. but had plently of space for our perishables and so forth. We really enjoyed our view but wished it was a little warmer so we could have enjoyed it more. My mother says she is allergic to cold weather so she was somewhat cranky about the weather this week. we were very close to elevator and skywalk which was lovely. I really think i enjoy the inside crescent, it was really lovely. The pool was nice but was only able to spend one day there due to weather. If you happened to be there, my mom was the one in jeans and long sleeve fleece laying by the pool on the one warm day!
I didn't bother with sunscreen that day but we still got sun which just totally made my mom jealous cause she didn't get any.
(What do you expect with jeans and fleece on at pool?
)
Parks were so crowded. We were able to do what we wanted to do but really missed our normal crowds of early june and oct. Much more manageable. Food was good but disappointed in the wave. Well, we tried it and it didn't work so well for us. no biggie. Our favorite meal was at Grand floridian Cafe. It was awesome
. We went there the night we checked in. We were supposed to go to Le Cellier that night but changed the ressies due to rain and cold and couldn't get my mom off the monorail. (remember the allergic part!)
We really enjoyed our trip and LOVE our home resort but do want to try others. I really don't have a ny negatives about it except that the marble floor right at the walkway gets very slippery when wet as my oldest DS found out. I think he was more embarassed than hurt. The boys give a huge 
to the arcade and contempo cafe.
I got my disney dooney and burke purse!
too so very excited about that. i usually do one big ticket item per trip and that was it this time but made it so much better with the 20% off with the AP!!
I hope to get some pics up a little later on today of our trip and my purse! I have to take the boys up to our business in a little while so they can watch the fire dept burn cars on our property so i should be able to get them up soon.
