Sit-down Dining Recs!

I gotta second Beaches-N-Cream. We try and go there every trip. As for a character breakfast My grandkids love Akershus Royal Banquet Hall in Epcot. All the Disney Princesses. It can be a bit of a dash to get there. There is the ever popular 'Ohana at Poly. We went for the character breakfast and it was a blast. Really

Moving To Florida/Orlando

Dont forget to visit during all seasons. When my kids were little we would visit WDW in Dec. Being from Seattle, they loved it. I had to explain why whole backyards were screened in! The first trip we took them during "Spring" kinda cured them of wanting to move. Hot, Humid, Bugs, and Thunderstorms. I originally grew u

We live in the PNW. This is a long plane ride and it burns a whole day of vacation. So we make sure our stays are pretty long, 14

Favorite modes of transportation within WDW?

Our first home resort was BWV. The Friendships really make the difference. Walking to Epcot and HS is great in the morning, but after a long and hot day, boats are the only way to go. We also enjoy the Monorail when staying at BLT. However it can be super crowded at times.

Bay Lake Tower Owners Thread

I just hope that the bus stop has multiple bays like they do at AKV Jambo and not a single bay like at the contemporary and BWV. With just a single curbside pickup things can get really chaotic.
