I'm not going to be at VB until May....but if noone has gone and provided a TR by then, I'll be sure to post. Because this place looks good (and if Dean recommends it........then that's a plus right there)

Okay it's going on my list!

I'll do a "live VB" trip report in April for you and the others. Besides posting that I'm sitting on my bum in the nice VB swap chairs, I'll keep track of where we eat. Hopefully we can add some more places to the standard list of Capt. Hiram's and Squidlips.

This is hoping I can pry the laptop out of my eldest's paws. I think DH will be done with his EMBA projects by then.

We will be there May 31-June 6. We are headed to BCV on the 6th. This is our annual summer trip - can't wait!

OK, I need a little help from my VB Groupie friends....

Our 11 month window is coming up to reserve a BC for President's Week '10 and I'm not feeling the love. Perhaps I'm still in recovery from our Pres. Wk '09 do everything in The World trip. I know our bank account is still in recovery!

So what should I do?? Reserve it and assume I'll get that beach thang going? Or hold off and go with a 2 bedroom later?? Or just skip a year and rent off some points???

 

[MiaSRN62]

Omg Lisa....a BC sounds like heaven.........
are u not feeling the love because of the hectic nature of Pres Week in the parks ? I say reserve the BC and you can always switch later. But those are so hard to get that I wouldn't wait. I sometimes think about skipping a year and then I come to my senses !

At the very least, reserve the BC until you're 100% sure what you want to do. One of my dreams is to one day stay in a BC.....or a GV at one of the other DVC's. I just don't have enough points to do that. Unless I only want to do like a 3 night vacation for the year....


cmctammyg.....I've got ya added to the list !

Lisa go for the BC!!! Even if its just the two of you....plan nothing while you are there!!! Just do things on the spur of the moment......this is just the type of vaca you need!!!!

but do they have a kids menu?

Conny, you could always have it shipped just prior to your arrival ?

I have a dining question...we'll be going in a couple weeks for 4 nights. Our DDs are ages 7 and 5. Is it worth going to Shutters and Sonyas for dinner on different nights? I already have the character breakfast planned as well. The kids are used to eating out at nicer restaurants, so that I'm not really concerned with for Sonyas, but not sure how similar they are if we should eat at just one or both. What do you think?

 

[gtrist4life]

I've only eaten at Shutters, so can't comment exactly, but I did look at online menus recently for both Sonya's and Shutters. Shutters has more selections, Sonya's fewer, but what they listed looked very good.

I'd recommend eating at both. I also thought the casual meals we ate at Bleachers were above average. Didn't eat at the Green Cabin Room, but I think they also have a small menu selection

Have fun and enjoy your vacation!

If I'm not mistaken, the Green Cabin Room gets their food from either Shutters or Sonya's. We ordered flat bread pizzas and someone came in with the dinners in plates with covers. They weren't prepared at the Green Cabin Room.

That is correct, and the food in Shutters & Sonya's also come from the same single kitchen. In fact while eating at shutters, you can order off the Sonya's menu if you like.

Thanks guys. I came to my senses enough to book the BC for next February. Called right at 9am this morning and was able to reserve the 5 nights. I was hoping no one was walking the ressie since it is a school break time, albeit winter time. The reallocation really hit the BC hard. They increased the weekdays the maximum of 20%.

I think my hesitation was that we just got back from a very full and busy WDW trip and I wasn't feeling the need to think about another FL vacation for a while ...... let alone pay for one! I'm sure by Feb that will be a totally different story. If we don't start feeling the need to vacation as it get closer I can try to sell the ressie or the points and go another year or time.

We really do love the resort... Just the plane tickets and rental car during a spring break for the four of us is a bit steep.

Why not skip the car rental? If you are only going to WDW just use Magical Express and save the $$
