Anything else you know would be good for me to know ahead of time??

If you plan on having coffee, bring your own filters and coffee.

Now there's something we both agree on!
At the risk of offending FL residents, that is the worst water I have ever tasted! Well, it's right up there with CA anyway! Don't get me wrong, I love both those states, but the water-Yikes!

And laundry detergent, and any other stuff you use with laundry. You'll get a tiny box of Tide, or similar, but it's probably only enough to do one load.

Our party laughed at the concept of doing laundry on vacation, but with the convenience of the washer and dryer right there in the villa, we did at least a load of towels every day. I've also seen others post that they like to do laundry the last day/night so they don't have to mess with it when they get home.

There will not be salt and pepper or sugar (maybe a few packets) in the Villa. We have a standard list - coffee filters, laundry detergent, dryer sheets, salt and pepper, coffee, sugar, cereal - that we just throw in a suitcase. Then we buy the perishables - bread, milk, half and half, eggs.

I've hesitated to ask this because it may be undisneylike, but...we're thinking of using a grocery delivery service for our vacation and have looked at product lists, but don't see any liquor listed? You see where I'm going with this? I feel like a 16 year old going to the prom when I ask..."How to you bring in the liquor?"

We usually just buy a small amount at the Screen Door if we need it. You can also pack in in your carryon, or make a grocery stop yourself and purchase it. The Disney resort stores all carry a "not too bad" selection of liquor - you do pay a premium for it - but its still cheaper than a rental car to run out for it, or drinking from the Bellvue room.

Ahhhh! But I don't drink it! I have 12 more years than you to go and not drink it! Buying a few bottles of water and a few more Brita filters, is a small price to pay for those 12 extra glorious years!!

Further proof........You were saying!

The pitcher size has been mentioned- at BCV one stay the pictcher had an odor that wouldn't wash out- we should have called house keeping for a replacement but we bring a brita/pur type pictcher along each trip. We pack it with coffee, laundry detergent in zip lock bags, and some extra dishwasher cubes. If packed with something they seem to travel well in check on. Last trip the room pitcher was perfect so we filled it from the pur so we always had plenty of water. The water to us taste chalky- actually seems to make us more thirsty. It doesn't really taste or smell bad but it doesn't "feel" right to us, hard to explain.

As mentioned we bring extra coffee, laundry detergent and dishwashing cubes as we pack light when we get our usual 2BR.

Dishwashing detergent we've always had plenty of - and they will bring you more of that.

Oh, man, the washer and dryer are now essential equipment at WDW. We do towels in the morning and throw dirty clothes in at night. The amount of required luggage has shrunk a LOT since joining DVC.
