Re: DVC Mike Live from BWV/SSR

That's nice to hear about the rooms!! We have 5 nights at BWV (garden/pool view) for May and I was getting nervous with some of the reviews I'd been reading!

Love your pics, as usual!! Have a great trip!!

Re: DVC Mike Live from BWV/SSR

We had a nice dinner at Le Cellier last night. I love the pretzel bread. I had the chedder cheese soup and the Mushroom Filet. Everything was just great.

Below are our dinner reservations for this trip. The only new ones for us are Il Mulano (at the Swan) and Chefs de France (I've never been into French food).


Le Cellier
Flying Fish Cafe
Coral Reef
Hollywood Brown Derby
Jiko
Yachtsman Steakhouse
Chefs de France
Il Mulano
Jiko (yes, twice)
Raglun Road
California Grill
Ohana

Each time we come "home", we tend to spend less and less time doing the rides. Yes, we'll still visit the Parks, but we find ourselves just walking around, enjoying the atmosphere.

Guess I'll have to get the Camera out and take some pictures today. We have no plans for the entire trip and I have no idea what we'll end up doing today. We're playing the entire trip by ear.

Took a nice walk around Crescent Lake. My three favorites areas to stay include the Epcot Resort Area, Bay Lake/Seven Seas Lagoon, and AKV with the Savannas.

We are the exact same way. We go to the parks almost everyday but maybe only go on a couple attractions. If we pass by & the line is low on one we go. We've always been kinda 'play it by ear', the only thing we plan are dinner ADRs.

Can't wait to hear how your experience at Brown Derby is. We haven't been there in about 3 years and are thinking about going back for dinner next trip.

Re: DVC Mike Live from BWV/SSR

We also seem to spend more time soaking up atmosphere and people watching than anything else.
More to the point, however, your pictures are making me "home"sick.... I want to be your neighbor!

I was thinking the same thing. Most of the resort pictures only have a few people also. And they are wonderful pictures.

I have a very basic camera -- nothing fancy at all. It's just an Olympus Stylus 730.
