We arrived at Bonnet Creek after a days drive, checked in, had pizza on site, and enjoyed the hot tub outside our Tower 4. Monday learned about changes in Wyndham over the past year, enjoyed our balcony in the sun and the hot tub again, got groceries and in the evening went to Downtown Disney at Lake Buena Vista which has changed its name to Disney Spring. Lots of changes since last year as there is essentially no surface parking any more except in front of Cirque du Soleil which is quite a distance away. They have an enormous new parking garage which is large enough for oversize vehicles and the Roadtrek will fit, at least on the first floor. They also have other parking for oversize vehicles. Lots of change inside too including a walkway across the lake as a short cut to the Rainforest Cafe.
We like our room, 1565 in tower 4 as it has a great view of the fireworks nightly at Hollywood Studios. Can also see the Epcot fireworks by looking out the windows at the elevators looking out the back of the building. Only downside is crowded parking in the surface lot and we can't fit the RT in the parking garage. Sometimes have to park some distance away.
Spent all day Tuesday at Epcot. Took Bailey with us, gave her a nice walk in the parking lot mid afternoon and we napped in the RT and had lunch. Then finished the rest of the park with fireworks at 9pm. Wednesday was a rest day at Bonnet Creek enjoying the balcony and the pools along with ice cream sundaes in the afternoon. Hot tub in evening and enjoyed listening to dueling keyboards by the pool and meeting new Canadian friends.
Thursday was Sea World. It was not crowded, easy to get around. The dolphin show was shortened and some of the exhibits closed. Common in January their slowest time. Cost is same as Disney but much smaller and not as good for young children. Did the $33 all you can eat pass for Carol--wouldn't do again. Queue pass also not necessary--no lines!
Disney World very crowded--Disney Hollywood Studies closed by 10 am (new Star Wars area) and Magic Kingdom VERY crowded unless you go on a poor weather day and then tolerable so remember that for next time.
Our last memory of Disney on Saturday night was the Hoop de Doo Review .... always a fun time.
