Hey Mike, we're over at SSR in the Springs. We are only here until the 25th and like you we have no set plans. Only one dinner ressie at Yachtsman Steakhouse for my birthday. Have fun, and ya, the weather is great.

Enjoy your birthday dinner! We'll be at Yachtsman next week.

They had two guards at the BWV guest lot yesterday (Saturday), so yes, they have restruictions since it's F&W festival.

Thanks, that is good news!!! There's nothing worse than not being able to park your car at the resort you're staying at.

Woke up early this morning; it was still dark. I sat out on the balcony and just enjoyed the view. My wife walked down to Boardwalk Bakery and picked up some lattes and muffins, which we enjoyed as the sun rose.

Really, no pictures Mike?? Us poor saps sitting on the computer are living vicariously through you and all you have is words? I want to SEE the sunrise from your balcony!!!

Hi DVC Mike....does the Boardwalk Bakery do gluten free muffins?? I hope so, that would be so great!

We just spent over an hour at the DVC Sales Center with our guide. We saw the BLT models in person and all we can say is "Wow!". The pictures simply do not do it justice. We were blown away by the BLT models!

We already purchased 200 BLT points, but after seeing the models, my DW said "we need to buy more BLT points". She wanted to add-on another 150 on the spot.

Wow, I'm impressed! They are THAT nice?! I'm thinking we're going to skip going to see the models on this visit. I'm confused enough about wondering if I need to buy SSR for THV stays!

Have you decided to buy the additional points?

Yes, we're going to add-on more BLT points, but probably not until early next year. My wife decided she wants us to be able to book a 1 -BR with a MK View for a week every year.

Wow, they must really be impressive!! Hmmm....seems like I remember reading " BLT add-on then we are done!" Famous last words...

Mike - I have been reading one live report about crowd levels which has stated that they are out of control.

A few posters said they could not even walk down main street !!!

Any thought or observation of huge crowds ???

As we will be there on the 24th.

Thanks

We were at Animal Kingdom today and the crowds weren't that bad.

We were at Epcot today and the crowds weren't bad at all. Tomorrow morning we'll be at DHS.

Sounds like you are having fun!! Envious of your muffin and Latte with a beautiful view. Waiting for more beautiful pictures. Have fun tomorrow.

 

[bradisgoofy]

We were in the MK Saturday, early, and the rides were all walk on. By noon the place was packed. Today we didn't get to Epcot til after 1pm and it was crowded but I've seen it worse at Spring Break.

 

[DVC Mike]

We had a great meal at Flying Fish Cafe last night.

This morning, we were over at DHS.

Mike did you take that first Boardwalk view picture early Sat afternoon? I think we were sitting at the Big River eating lunch at that time...I remember seeing that guy in the black jacket pushing a cart on the boardwalk while we were eating...how funny.Have a great trip, we are here until Nov 5. PS: by the way does anyone know where you can get the refillable mugs filled at BWV? Thanks for any help...

 

[paulabarber]

I'm loving your report Mike!
Now I REALLY can't wait to see those BLT rooms for myself.
I just "know" we are going to call it HOME as soon as we
set foot in there.

Looking forward to more pics!
