Love your villa, it really does look huge.

I hate the wait on the Magical Express before you set off; after a long day of travelling it just prolongs the torture.

I meant to ask, how did you find the location of your villa at OKW?

Thanks everyone!

OKW looks lovely! Very big room. Shame it's so spread out.

I decided I was going to go to DTD when we got to Disney too- yeah, that never happened. Like you we only had the energy to eat dinner, explore a tiny bit and then to bed!

What did you think of staying onsite in general?
Hi!
We LOVED staying onsite and i'm 100% converted. I would stay there again in a heart beat IF the dining plan offer was on. It's all the added perks that make it worthwhile too, like the magic bands. The ease of getting to the parks and not having to drive everywhere was an added bonus too. That said, if the dining plan wasn't on, I don't think we could afford it as the food was so expensive... but then we did eat in the parks every day and had a lot of character meals.

Hi
The location was OK. We were hoping to be closer to hospitality house, but was happy in building 32 as I knew that buildings 30 and above had adjoining doors between the bathroom and laundry room. We were close to a bus stop too.

We did walk back from HH one night which took about 10 minutes. Most of the time if we wanted to go to DTD we took a bus or drove to HH and then took a water taxi. Buses were frequent but we drove to the parks most days. I would stay in the same building again.

Brilliant, thanks Aimie. I think we will be driving most of the time next year too.

Great travel day, though I've found myself wanting some Play Doh for some reason. The VA economy food definitely sounds like it's been improved.

I can relate to this - Izzy's exactly the same, must be a little girl thing. Our February 2015 travelling party includes 3 little girls so I'm not planning on getting much done!

We used the Magical Express last year but we were only discussing this the other day and have absolutely no recollection whatsoever about how to find it! On a positive note, your OKW villa looks lovely! The kids did well to stay up so late without any major meltdowns.

A great but full on travel day. Laughing at the playdoh. I remember trying to keep things a secret from our dd for later on in the flight in case she got bored and she sported it straight away and then wanted it immediately.

Your room looks lovely.

*sigh* you finally made it!

It's never fun is it, but worth it in the end.
I find plasticine better then play dough on flights 😉

The room looks great!
