We also are planning to try out all the DVC resorts. I read your other trip report all day yesterday so I'm all caught up on your title.
Your ADRs look amazing. I think when we go for our 10 Anniversary we will do the DxDDP

Plans look great! Like I said before - we like OKW for the laid back feel - I do have to say though that it is spread out - and hopefully you requested a room near the hospitality house?

Adr's look great! I was hoping that you had Olivia's in there somewhere! IMO - that's a great reason to be at OKW!

Olivia's will sort of be our "walk-up" spot. We have a few open days,and we will have some points extra,so we'll be going there a couple times. Besides, I like the pin board.

Do you know that each resort has a Pin Board at the front desk? not sure if you knew that or not................my DD likes to visit other resorts all the time just to go check out their pin boards!!! Usually the resort gift shops have them as well!

I love your dining plans - feel free to post all the food pics you want! My family liked Boma for breakfast better than for dinner, but I liked them both.

My Turn!
I promised myself that I wouldn't get too exited too early about this trip. I have done a couple of things early.
1) I did help with some of the ADRs. Coop did an awesome job,and we got everything we wanted.
2) I did make a "semi-packing" list. Just so I know what I have to wear,because finding shorts and summer shirts is impossible in Detroit anytime after the Forth of July.
3) Vacation approved at work,and a countdown calendar has been made.
Other than that I have tried to curb my enthusiasm.
Every once in a while,especially on a bad day,I think about what we consider "annoying" at WDW,smile, and can't wait to "be ANNOYED" HAHA
But when I get a chance to daydream,I think of.... Mickey ears icecream,Expedition Everest, Toy Story Mania, tea cup spinning,Dumbo flying,Casey's hotdogs, Monorail rides(Por favor mantengese alejado de las puertas) FIREWORKS, Zebra Domes, boat rides, DTD people watching,watching Coop cry the first time she sees Cinderella Castle. And.............................

Okay - all caught up! Even read your 2011 TR. I'm sorry you had a less-than-perfect trip. I absolutely understand the disappointment. Disney messed up something in one of our trip a few years ago but they did try to rectify it after the fact, and it sounds like they tried for you, too. I didn't get a package of stuff though!

It looks like we're switching some things. I usually go on our trips in September for Halloween and this year I'm in December for Christmas.

I had a horrible experience at Yachtsman, so that's on my "never again" list. From reading this board though I know I'm in the extreme minority. I'm glad you had a great meal there and I hope you have another.

I'm looking forward to reading more
