Brrrr...but it was worth going. DH and DS did walk in the family 5K and enjoyed just about everything about the event. They thought it was very well organized and fun to do. We've tentative plans for many more of us to participate in that event in 2012.
We enjoyed walking to MK, and being on the monorail. Our Boston born and bred DGC and DS swam on 2 days! DDiL and I made it into the hot tub, DSis and DH never made it even that far!
The dedicated 2 bedroom was fine for the 8 of us. The dishwasher was hard for us to use, and even when Juan came up to show us how, right after he left, it stopped again, going into delay. Eventually we figured it out, but even then, we were sometimes surprised to find the dishes weren't done, "delay mode" had kicked in. The cooktop was hard for us to keep looking good, shiny, even with the cleaner they provided, and I didn't cook much.
Early in December someone here posted about hard it was to get toilet tissue. I took note of that when we went to VWL in December and found that wasn't the case. We had 2-3 rolls to start and there was never a problem, just 2 in a studio. However it was a problem for us at BLT. I know our master bathroom had 1 extra to start, and when it was opened, I had to call down twice, and when it was replaced, we were given 1 and this was a 3 bathroom villa!
On the 4th day, housekeeping took the used towels and just left a pile of clean towels in the kitchen. DH called and said how disappointed he was with that service. We did not get any soap/shampoo replacement. They did come for another service the next day when the towels were put where they should be, trash was taken out, and we did get more soap. However, there was not another toilet tissue roll in any of the bathrooms!
It seems to us as if each of the DVC resorts sets its own standards of housekeeping.
I have to give Member Satisfaction a kudo for a Kim Possible sort of mission. I was "found" on vacation by a CM to address an issue that I had written about. That was interesting to me because there wasn't a message on my home phone, the CM looked for me first on vacation!
Our family really enjoyed the amenities of the resort. The Community room and staff were excellent. Some of them knew about as much as I did about a playstation,
but usually there were some other kids there to help us out. The supplies like colored crayons, pencils, markers were well stocked, sharpened and plentiful. That's one deficit we had found at the Beach Club, the crayons that we've used there were usually broken and sorely in need of replacing. One of my DGDs enjoys drawing and coloring, and she made me a beautiful button that I'm proud to wear! This DGM finally got to try a Wii...4 of us enjoyed the Toy Story Mania game one night.
BLT owners, you have a lovely resort!

I wonder what's with the t.p. 
when we got there around 1!
It just cracks me up that Disney lately has been homogenizing every restaurant, drink menu & store with the same, the same, the same everywhere you go...but how much toilet paper is needed in a villa and where to put some new towels- well, THAT's where they let creativity run WILD!!
