How very generous you and John are. Your kids and their spouses are very lucky!

Awww, we didn't have a whole lot when we were growing up. We weren't poor but I am sure that our parents didn't have a whole lot extra which is why we went camping, on road trips, etc. when we were growing up. If we can help the kiddos out a bit, we want to bless them!

Hi!!! Following along. My husband and I stayed at POP a year ago. We liked it because of the Skyliner but Riviera is my favorite.

Follow the signs they said. It won't take long they said.

For some reason, John and I always forget that our package includes mini-putt passes. We had plenty of time to spare before our dinner reservations so we decided to make use of those passes. We popped in the room and freshened up a bit and then headed back to the Skyliner station. We took the Epcot route and then took a right instead of going left into the park. We were going to Fantasia Gardens where we had been before. When we visited before, we took the boat from Hollywood Studios to the Swan and Dolphin and walked. Since then, the Skyliner was built and it seemed like getting there would be easier if we walked. We started towards the Boardwalk and walked alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll the way around

Hey! I'm glad to have ya! We didn't care too much for Pop when we stayed there but we had some extenuating circumstances that caused us to be ready to transfer over to CBR. Let's just say that our son realized how hard it would be to live with his then-girlfriend in a small space. (they broke up almost immediately after returning home). I would love to stay at the Riviera! We could swing it but our trips are longer and I need that extra money to pay for a longer stay.

As we got closer to the Swan and Dolphin and whatever the name of the new resort is...the name escapes me right now, we had other people walking along with us and they were saying "Follow the signs they said. It won't take long they said". John and I didn't mind the walking and we had all the time in the world but it was obvious that these other folks were ready for the walk to be over with.

When we got there, the courses were pretty busy. There were a couple of cast members working the desk and they asked us which course we wanted. At the same time, we said whichever one was less busy. They laughed and the older gentleman said "you don't know how hard the harder course is" to which I replied, "it doesn't matter, we cheat anyway". Everybody except him laughed. Oops, he took his job seriously. Okay, we will wait for the easier course. Our wait was about ten minutes and we were called up.

We rented points from DVC Rentals and stayed five nights. Then did two nights at SSR. The time before we stayed at AKL Jambo. We paid for standard view but could still see the animals. It was nice too.

Nice! I have some people staying at AKL in June in a savanna room and they are super excited!
