We are making our first family trip to Disney in May.

We are going May 7-14. We'll be at the Vistana Villages for the first four nights, and listening to their time share pitch on the 10th. We got the offer through the Starwood Preferred Guests program, which DH is a member of for work. It was too good to pass up! $169 for four nights (plus about $14/day in taxes, etc.), and they give you $100 in cash after the tour. After we leave there we're going to the Beach Club.

I'm looking forward to having a little kitchen and laundry in the "villa". I'm glad to know there is a Publix so close! I was debating whether to get groceries delivered from wegoshop.com or just send DH out to shop when we get there. Maybe we'll just shop.

EMH=extra magic hours which are hours that Disney parks are open only for guests at their resorts. Off site guest are not kicked out of the parks for the late hours, but are not allowed to ride any rides.

Another question.... How much does it cost to park at the parks?

Obviously I'm very new at this, but I do happen to know the answer to this one! I think it's $9/day and your parking pass is good all day, and even good at the other parks. So if you have park hopper passes, you could go to MK in the morning and pay your $9, go back to the hotel, then go to Epcot in the evening and you would be able to park without another charge.

The experts can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that's how it works. Same with stroller rentals. If you rent one at one park, you can just show your stub at another park later in the day and you won't have to pay again. Pretty cool!
