We just got back yesterday from a 6 night stay at BWV on rented points (the only way to go!) Wonderful room, except we were VERY far from the elevators. Did all the parks and have all the times guides from Jan 15-Jan 21 if anyone has any questions. Did Soarin 3 times with DH, and both DM's age 71 and 77. They loved it also. We used a towncar (again the only way to go) and used Garden Grocers for the first time to bring in some food so we didn't have to make a grocery stop. Would definately do that again. Saved alot of money by having water, soda and snacks in the room, not to mention a couple of breakfasts and one dinner. We had a great time, and learned alot about our elderly moms, not having lived with them for many years! Almost like little kids 
Sunday and Monday (MLK) were definately crowded in MGM and Epcot, but after that the crowds were very manageable. Anything marked 20 minutes wait was always much less. Learned for the first time how photopass works and it is very cool. You can get all your photos taken by Disney (of your whole party) and see them online for 30 days for free. If you want to buy them you can, but it is very expensive. We took alot of our own pictures, but it was nice to have a pro do it to, and see it online once we came home. Visa meet and greet in Epcot was very easy to do, no waits, and all we had to do was show our Disney visa cards (we all had one) and we each got a free 5x7 photo to take home with us. Back to work tomorrow, but the last week was great. No rain while we were there (once late at night while we were sleeping) and the weather was in the 70's during the day and 50's at night, very nice when coming from NH. Any questions?
