Under the Boardwalk, Cam and Fam'll Be Having Some Fun Updated 6/17 About This Page:

[mousestruck]

Oh, how envious I am of a two-week Disney vacation! That sounds like pure heaven to me!!! While AKV is my "first love," I hope to try some of the other fabulous DVC resorts some day. BWV seems like an excellent choice and I look forward to hearing all about it since we've never had the pleasure of staying there.

[mojjo]

Sounds great so far!!! I can't wait for a two week trip.

[bsblady01]

great update more please

[Luvsun]

Sending you lots of weather for the rest of the school year!!!
I think you guys will love staying at BWI! It is a beautiful resort!!!
I love the walk over to Epcot from BWI!! There is always a lot of photo opportunities at the Boardwalk!
I know that you guys are looking forward to June! So am I!!!

[tdhc]

Great update. We hope to stay at the BW on our next trip. We stayed at the BC last September and our two kids both requested BW for our next trip. Love the pics!

[Roxie2006]

What a great update. It will be interesting to hear about the BW Resort. Hope everything works out with the school system.

I just found your PTR, ! I can't wait to hear all about your trip in June. I reading the Cam and Fam TR's. to Stephanie and so glad to hear she is feeling better!

Boardwalk is a nice resort. Lots to do but still has a relaxing atmosphere. My favorite part about it is the closemess to EPCOT and DHS. But beware - it can be a long walk to/from DHS. Espcially in the sun and also the pouring rain. I speak from experience, as does Ann. So definitely take a boat!

What better way to spend spring break than catching up on a Cam PTR SUPER EXCITED TO READ IT!

I've tried checking for the name of this one, but I can't find it in my notes or receipts.

We are lucky to get a longer stay, and it keeps Luke from having to deal with work for a good long time.

I can't wait to tell you all about it.

I plan on taking loads of pictures!

I'm very much looking forward to the BWI in September. And I too want to know about one of Stefanie's favorite gift shops.

I can't seem to get away from that pesky 3.

You were born the day after Donald Duck! We have lots of fun for you that day.

Once we stay at BWI, we'll just have BLT and then the Grand Floridian when it's done. We really want to stay at all the DVC resorts.

From what we've seen of it, it is a beautiful resort.

We definitely are hoping we get out early.

I kinda wish you were going back to WWoHP so that I could live vicariously through you there. I saw your pics from your last trip and we hope to go there one day. We are big HP fans! Staying in the bubble is awesome though. Love that Disney Bubble!

We stayed at Universal at the start of the trip last year and I think that's the only way I could do it. Once I've been spoiled by Disney, I think a lot of US/IoA would be disappointing. And it's awfully expense just to enjoy WWHoP, but we will go back in a few years.

The weather the first week of June is typically hot, but not as humid as it gets the second week. By the time we leave we're ready to leave 90% humidity behind. Though we come home to 80% in Kentucky.

The crowds have varied in size of the years. DHS is crowded on the weekends during the SWW. Usually our first week is lighter than our second week, but wait times are still much longer than when we've gone in October or November.

That's what thinking, too!

There's a wonderful miniature carousel in the lobby. Most people stop to look at it, but don't realize that it turns and plays music every so often. I tried to figure out the schedule, but got a different answer every time I asked. 2. Instead of waiting in the long line at the bakery in the morning for coffee and pastry, go to the Belle Vue Lounge. They open earlier than the bakery and have coffee, cereal and pastries-- wonderful room, too. 3. If you haven't already, explore the pathways behind the Inn side of the hotel-- look for the garden cottages!

for the tips! I had actually noted the Belle Vue Lounge and I think it was because of one of your TRs. Can't wait for more tips!

I can't wait to read about your stay at BW. I had a co-worker who stayed there, the only one I ever worked with who liked Disney as much as I do, and she loved it. She passed away a few years ago, so this will be a great way to remember who and enjoy it all again.

We had to cancel our Disney trip last year in part because of all the make-up days (we had 9 snow days, and one "fire" day). All in all, we had 10 days to make up last year. So far this winter, we've only had a total of 9 inches of snow (mostly in 1/2 inch quantities), and no fog delays...the irony is that we've actually had to take days off because our board built in so many extra days to cover our usual 5-7 snow days.

Hopefully your weather stays like this!!!

By state law we have to include so many make-up days, but most are at the end of the calendar.

We've visited it so many times, so I can't believe it has taken us this long to stay there.

Luke really need 2 weeks out of state from work and even then they will call at least once while we are down there.

Hope a two week trip is in your not so distant future.

Sounds like kids are drawn to BWI.

I really do love staying at the different resorts as long as I can go back every other year to Kidani.

Sorry no real update tonight or probably tomorrow. I have a "scheduling fair," read as parent/teacher conferences tomorrow night. Up until this year I could access the PassPorter boards at school, but that ended this year. Don't want us chatting. So even though I'll probably not have a single parent, I won't be able to get on. Tonight I've just been fretting because Stefanie is simply eating less than most birds. Any gains she makes, she loses. So I need to ask for more . Luke is calling her old pediatrician tomorrow as our GP has moved out of town in the past month. I'm hoping he will see her and give us advice, or refer us to a new GP who will. Thank you for listening to me with this over and over because right now it is putting a damper on my trip planning as I am concerned about how much she'll be handle on any given day. Then I remind myself that it is 80+ days away and still some time for her to recoup. But it has been over a month and that makes me anxious. I don't do well with roller coaster whether literal like EE or figurative like this ride we're own to keep her eating.
