    A Room for 5?

    I think DVC would be the way to go. Rent points from a member to make it more affordable. The GF and Poly studios sleep 5 and are a decent size. Also a 1 bedroom many others will also sleep 5. Not sure which ones exactly. I know that OKW does and is one of the largest. AK one bedroom does but...

    Sheraton Vistana Resort vs. Cypress Palm

    It was supposed to sleep 8. Just couldn't see it. We were told the beds in the 2nd room were full sized. The were large twins but no was would sleep two. Much prefer OKW in Disney. Would rather not go as often and save to go there.

    Sheraton Vistana Resort vs. Cypress Palm

    Stayed at the Sheraton Vistana on our last visit. Was disapointed. The second bedroom had hardly any room for storage and the beds were twin sized. very crowded. We were all tripping over each other in the rooms. Always asking someone to move just to get around. We are going back to staying on...

    Totally Disgusted!

    I am one of those posters saying it has never happened to me but I am not discounting it either. Things can and will happen. I have never had anything worse than a garbage can not being emptied or a lightbulb needing to be changed while at Disney. If I did as I have with other places I have said...

    Poly vs Contemporary

    My first stay at the Poly was my first time to Disney back in 1975. I have enjoyed each trip back there more each time. It is one of my favorite Disney Resorts.

    Poly vs Contemporary

    Love the Poly. Contemporary not so much. It is to bland. It is like any other modern hotel in any city to me. It is right next to the MK so it has that. But the Poly is on the monorail. I love the tropical feel about it. Just something about the place. I would consider renting points and staying...

    Is homecomin' worth it?

    Try Olivia's at OKW. I am not a fried chicken expert but I liked it alot. It is not as crowded and only a 20 minute boat ride from DS.

    Charge for FP? Please say it aint so!

    I also know of a few who knew better and have gone to Disney unprepared. Unfortunately there are always think it is a good practice to just wing it. When planning a vacation I always do some research myself.

    Charge for FP? Please say it aint so!

    Just an observation. I know they were very suprised to be charged extra for it on top of the park passes.

    Charge for FP? Please say it aint so!

    Universal is. Friends went last week. $175 per person for 5 days. On top of park tickets. They were a group of ten.

    BWV and OKW next week!!!

    I have considered it but never actually done it. But then our touring style is a bit different. We do breakfast in our rooms then the parks. We come back to our rooms in the afternoon for a swim. So we either bring our lunches with us or make them in the room depending on the time we are...

    How old were your kids when you let them bring a friend?

    If you are going to be in a car for 12 hours I would first consider how well YOU like these kids. Otherwise they can get on your nerves. My daughter has 2 best friends. One of them can be rude and moody. She does not do this on purpose. Has a few disabilities as does my daughter so we are very...

    1 bedroom at BC or 2 Bedroom at OKW or SS

    You will have a second bathroom in a two bedroom at OKW. The master bathroom is split into two rooms. You will have a seperate laundry room and the units are noticably larger than at the other resorts you mentioned. It also does not share a bus with any other resort.

    Parking fees at OKW?

    As others have said no fees if staying on points. The parking is right outside your door.

    Old Key West Question

    As others have stated it is a full size fridge. Not as big as the one we have at home but more than doable. The paper goods are only in a studio. Other posters are correct about the coffee. We only do breakfast and make our own lunches in our rooms. Dinner we do out.

    Grand Villa or 2BR plus studio for big trip?

    The GV at OKW has a second hang out space upstairs. So this can make a difference.

    Grand Villa or 2BR plus studio for big trip?

    OKW is our favorite and I love the nice big rooms. Have never felt crowded. Haven't stayed in a GV yet. But we had 8 adults in a 2 bedroom and it never felt crowded. Can't say the same for Kidani. It was dark. It does have a third bathroom. With the master bath split up it wasn't that bad and I...

    DVC resie- which would you keep

    I don't like the Theming at BLT. Too contemporary for me. Reminds me of any hotel in any city. But that is just my personel preferance. The only thing I like about it is that it is a monorail hotel and literally right next to the MK.
