[MJTinNH]

Thanks for all the great details about your trip. We also stay at BWV for the 1st time this last May and enjoyed it too. Thank you for posting!

The bus to MK was really horrible? We spend alot of time at MK and hope it will be better by then.

JFrey4240, I thought it was. Really the only thing that I just didn't like about BWV. I just don't recall it being so bad when we stayed at BCV. We're going there next month, too so I guess we'll see. It is the same loop so I'm sure it will be.
I want to stay at all the DVC resorts to try them out plus we like variety, but really VWL is best for us right now. Our kids are little and MK is where we spend most our park time. (Course, that boat can be a little slow, too!)

An example - We had ressies at the GF for dinner. It took us a full hour and a half, maybe a tad longer to get there form BWV using the bus, then monorail. We were late.

All in all, we loved the feel of BWV. I like it better than my home at BCV I think.

Im so glad you had a great time!

What time was your Donald's PS? We've never been rushed and always had a great time, but we always eat there before the park opens and Im wondering if that had something to do with it.

Stacy, our PS there was at 10. I think they were trying to set up for lunch there.

Cinderella’s Gala Feast at the GF, 1900 Park Fare is always worth the money to me. Love that strawberry soup! Always a fantastic buffet. Characters were great, wow that Prince sure was charming! Talk about handsome! Goofy was in the lobby with the Fairy Godmother and was a hoot! And the look on my youngest’s face when Cinderella was talking to her. Wow... they only have that wonder for such a short time. My oldest at six has already lost it. It goes by too fast!

Can't wait to try this in Oct. I've got to ask when did your DD loose it? My oldest DD was 5 in May. She's always telling me how much she misses Pooh and asks me if he misses her too. But she's also starting to ask "Mom did an artist draw that?". When I went to kindergarten orientation they mentioned one thing the kids will learn is differnt forms of literature-fiction/biography/and animation....How long before she figures out that Pooh is just a guy in costume and Cinderella is just some girl in a dress? Is there any hope she'll still believe in Oct? On her 1st two trips I didn't bring her Cinderella dress but I'm taking it in Oct for her to wear to dinner. I hope to get that one last magical visit in. I know it will be magical even if she's figures it out. When I brought her in 2002 I thought we wouldn't be back til 2006 then I somehow convinced DH to go in Jan 04 for DS's 3rd birthday and still planned on Fall 05/Winter 06 before baby turned 3 but when I got to thinking about my oldest still believing I just had to go this year with AP's and still go next fall on same AP's before baby turns 3. Sounds like a good reason to go right?

I'll be calling Sunday to check on AP's-found your link to this trip report on that thread.

Shan,

Thanks for the great report and nice pictures. Sounds like you are majorly hooked on WDW & DVC! Can't wait to see "home"
for the first time myself!!

Hi lovesdumbo and deemarch!

Funny, this thread is from my trip in June and we've since been again last week. I really need to do another trip report!

lovesdumbo, I guess she was around the four to five age range when she started telling me Cinderella was real, but Mickey,etc. were fake. She thought all the face characters were real, but the others weren't. At this point, we've been a little too much (AP syndrome) and she is recognizing the face characters are different people. (For example, that Peter Pan was different last time!) Oh, well! It goes by too fast!

Shan--thanks for such a detailed report. Your girls are adorable!

Thanks Shan for sharing your trip with us. I love the pictures. When I read about the man peeing in the pool, I thought "where do these people come from" or "what are they thinking". I hope it was a bladder control problem and you know kids are probably doing it a lot, but who want's to see it. Glad you had a great time.
