Boo - I would have loved to do the tour when I was there in February. Not planning to go back until nearer the end of the year now.

If you’re experienced DLR vets than you should be well-prepared to tackle a week at WDW. Of course, if you go rope drop to close every single day that might be a different story… WDW is more of a marathon than a sprint and afternoon breaks or 3/4 days are highly prized. How many park days are...

I’ve been at Vistana Resort 6-7 times over the last couple of years. Occasionally wifi and cell coverage is spotty (seems dependent on which unit and building you get). That said, for all important things like VQ, there’s always a spot inside the villa with good service. Might have to walk...

Hmmm…you’re right. I should have questioned it. I just assumed this was their normal portion size. But that just can’t be right.

I should add for the record that the total I spent on food on Disney property (where I ate 95% of my meals) was $450 or $32/day. I used Disney gift cards that I purchase at an average of 15% (sometimes 20%) discount (including cashback on my credit cards). So let’s say it’s about $382 out of...

I didn’t realize it but Sebastian’s Bistro was the last meal of my Disney trip. My final photos in Epcot :) 2 weeks at Disney solo was not enough. I spent a lot of time meandering around and then scrambled the last few days to cram in some favourite rides. I missed out on a whole lot of...

‘Ohana was our family’s absolute favourite for a very very long time. And even when we didn’t have DDP, we still splurged on it. Then the prices started climbing. When it hit $50, we still loved it enough to keep going every year. At $60, I finally hit my limit. It’s so inconsistent too. Going...

It’s helpful for me too lol. I have stayed at both several times now and will continue to do so - but sometimes I forget the small details. We had a marked preference for Bonnet Creek before and now I’m swinging back to SVR. But if I had kids with me, that would possibly make WBC more appealing.

Will he consider a manual wheelchair with you pushing him? (Is he capable of steering a scooter through crowded parks safely?) In our family, we use wheelchairs as necessary. My mother walks pretty well at 75 (she goes on 30-60 min walks/hikes with me, depending on her condition), but can get...

I keep hearing about that burger! I might have to hit the Ale & Compass lounge one day. Parking is always the issue though. But I could have the breakfast buffet and then on my way out of Epcot, stop in the lounge for dinner. Unlike most people, I really don’t like Epcot’s food options that much...

Hmmmm..will have to consider a mini Loungefly (or a knock off) in the future. They really are insanely cute.

I had made a few suggestions to the ladies about places to eat out at Disney. They had been really frugal so far - and so by this point I thought they would pass. But they eagerly said yes to my suggestion of brunch at Ale &Compass. So they came along and they agreed to take the Yacht Club bus...

Pricey but love the patterns. I haven’t tried this style of sling bag before but will keep in mind for the future. I’m impressed they are less heavy on shoulders than typical crossbodies. I absolutely totally love this!!! Insanely adorable. And practical too!

I have been using a fannypack - usually around my waist to give my shoulder a break. Inside is a tiny water bottle, small powerbank, a few pins, and a couple of other small odds and ends. My phone generally goes in my pocket to reduce the weight. I recently bought a packable crossbody from...

I just did the drive from Michigan in mid-February. Looks like it was a good thing we drove in on a Friday night as we had no problems. Sucks that you had such awful traffic twice.

I was getting really tired. And pretty overfed by this point. So I cancelled a couple of TS places (Liberty Tree Tavern and San Angel Inn) and ate more simple meals in the condo. By the time I made it to Hollywood Studios at night, I was pretty hungry but most places were closed. My feet were...

The next morning, I got a stuffed pancake in AK from Thirsty River Bar. I didn’t realize they sold food but spotted a sign as I walked past. They also had pretzels I believe. I took it down to the seating area at the Yak&Yeti QS. There is a pretty pool of water in front of the restrooms and I...

Their breakfast buffet is super worth it. The entrees are delish (I am obsessed with the shrimp and grits) and it’s so cheap to add on the buffet. I enjoy getting coffee and usually drown myself in biscuits and sausage gravy. Then take the entree back for dinner. I also usually convince a...

Sheraton Vistana Resort Guide: I didn’t end up taking a photo of WBC’s guide as I was pretty tired out by Week 2 and was focused on the parks. I just used the online version: https://linktr.ee/bcactivities?utm_source=linktree_profile_share

At the end of February, I spent 2 weeks near Disney, staying one week at Sheraton Vistana Resort and then the following week at Club Wyndham Bonnet Creek, both in 2 bedroom villas. I have stayed at both multiple times over the past couple of years - never with little kids as mine are young...
