We checked in on Sunday Feb 19th. I had requested beach cottages in the 1400's and 1500's and we got Beach Cottage #1250. I was initially dissapointed 
because I thought that the traffic to and from things like Campfire would be a distraction. WOW was I wrong! 
BC 1250 was simply wonderful. If you can stay there and splurge, it is well worth it. We travelled with another family and the biggest decision of the week was to decide which rooms we should take. How funny is that! 
The BC 1250 was all in order, we found out later that they had just refurbd it the week before. The views were like no other. We actually kept our door open in the evening and fell asleep to the waves crashing. And yes NO BUGS!!
The weather for the week was a chilly 71 (CM Amanda was calling us from the North NUTS for swimming that day)
or a warm 84 all week 
. Only really one overcast day, this was Friday the 24th. We checked out on Sat the 25th for a day at Seaworld and a 6 hour stay at Pop Century (we had that wicked 6am flight on Sun - Yikes).
The CMs at VB are AWESOME. This was our 5th visit in 3 years and the CMs remembered my son and daughters names and were super friendly as always! Linda and Amanda are their favorites!!!!
The pool was crowded with all sorts from primarily the Northeast (School break) and for the most part people were behaved (saving chairs and tables etc.). The crowd this year was different than last year interestingly enough; last year the resort was at capacity and the pool was empty (Older/retired crowd and Spring Training Crowd); where this year there were more families.
Also, for those of you that have travelled to VB in the summer there was NO LINE for the UnBirthday party! It was walk up and sign up. Dad didnt have to get relegated to waiting in line for an hour for sign up. Another thing to note there were not as many activities this time around, especially for the under 6 crowd. This is not the case for the summer and I dont remember if it was this way last year when we went during Presidents week. Ill just have to make a mental note of it next year.
Well I have only have 20 days to start reserving at my 11 month window for next years vacation to VB. Maybe I can even convince my DW to book the Beach Cottage again!
