We tried some new things this trip. Stayed at a Boardwalk studio standard view - first time at Boardwalk and first stay in a studio. We were lucky and got room 2083 which is on the lobby level, first room on the left down from the elevators. View was of the entry way and lawn. Great deal for the point cost considering a Holiday weekend. Ten steps away from the stairway down to Luna Park and near my son's favorite place - the ARCADE! What is it about little boys and arcades??? Room was clean. Cabinet storage in the vanity area was great. Loads of hot water. I tried the Richyams trick of reaching the fridge from the deck but my arms weren't quite long enough...
Our Owner's Locker was waiting for us when we arrived. Opening it was like Christmas in May. Packing from home had been a breeze - most our necessities were already in Orlando. Ponchos, misters, fanny pack (can't wear anywhere but Disney) autograph book, visors, and all the bathroom products/sun products we use. Can't say enough good things about the service John and Brian provide. At the end of the stay I made a few changes to the list of what we had stashed away and sealed up the locker. It was safely back in the warehouse before we were back in Minnesota. We've just finalized our next two trips - OKW in October and AKV in January - so just need to add that onto our planner on the Owner's Locker site and we'll be all set. Can't beat the convenience and peace of mind!
Magical Express worked super-slick. Not having to wait for and lug a suitcase at the airport was great, especially since my husband wasn't joining us until day 2. Going back to the airport took about 80 minutes - seemed like we looped around the Boardwalk area FOREVER but it is still a great free service.
We did the meal plan but couldn't use up all the counter service credits. Best deal was a gallon of water, half-gallon of milk, and pack of donuts from the ScreenDoor all for one snack credit each. I really love being able to buy the gallon of water. We had packs of Crystal Light in our Owner's locker so we were able to make wonderfully refreshing lemonade after a hot day in the parks - or a looong day in the arcade...
I'd be happy to answer any questions. Can't wait to go back.
