Our trip was great there was 11 of us; Me, DH, DS (11,6,3), DM, DSis, DN (9,7), DMIL and DFIL
We had a great time at BCV, but it was sooooo hot. We were in room 553 a dedicated two bedroom, although I loved it my 6 yo son did not. You see the last time we had a lockoff and there were two safes and two refrigerators, this time there was not. So we started the trip with some tears. My DSis was in a studio room 539 (looked good) and my DIL were in a studio room 561 (I did not go in their room).
Our room was clean my only complaint is that on the bench cushion there was a noticable stain and in front of it on the rug there was another stain. They must of tried to bleach them out because it turned the cushion and the rug a much lighter color.
Our room faced Epcot, so every night we were in our room, we saw Illuminations fireworks, they were great.
I used TGM for my planning and it worked like a charm. We never waited more then 10 minutes for a ride and used fast pass when we needed. Now the crowds were very light, I was speaking with a CM at MK and he said on Aug 23, Tuesday there were only 31,000 people that had come through so far, usually in the summer there are 80,000. So much lighter.
We went on the Wishes Cruise, it was wonderful. Our guide was Sarah, she was awesome. She took us all around the Lagoon and it was really relaxing.
We used the DDE card we sat down at:
BOMA - Great food, we loved this one
Chef Mickey - A Classic
China - Nine Dragons - Great Food
Crystal Palace - Better than the last time, I wonder if they changed their menu since the last time (Oct 2003)
ESPN - For my DH and DS who spend more time in gift shop then eating
Beaches and Cream - Good food, better ice cream, eat there twice
Wolf Gang Puck Cafe - Boy was this awesome, our waiter Rich he was great. It was very expensive but worth it.
Cape May Cafe - we had a late breakfast here the day we left.
We must of saved about $200 (there were 11 of us most nights).
All in all one of the best trips I have gone on, but I do not think we will go in August again. It was really hot and we were really tired from the heat.

Thanks for posting.
I'm promise I'll have a full BCV report when I get back (although, it won't be till May).
