I remember as a child going to the Contemporary Resort for New Years. I was put into one of Disney Worlds Largest Arcades. (At that time.) I tried to find that arcade last time we were there, but I do fully believe that like Walt himself… it has come to an end. I have been through the Contemporary many times in the past few years, and it has changed a bit. We still go there for Chef Mickeys restaurant. Chef Mickeys is a buffet, and there are characters there that will greet you from time to time when they go through.
Now that there is a whole new section of the Contemporary it makes me want to actually stay there, because I have always wanted to stay in a “Room with a view.”
If you get the right room booked you can have a spectacular view of the Magic Kingdom. At night you have a excellent view of the fireworks, and of the Water Electric Parade.
From what I have seen in the demo room that was setup at Coronado Springs the Bay Lake Tower is going to have modern furniture. I liked what I saw, but not staying there yet I can’t give a firsthand account of what it actually looks like in finished stage.
I have read that the points are quite different at Bay Lake Tower. Each DVC resort has its own unique point structure. I have recently changed my thoughts on the most economical point usage resort. This is now Animal Kingdom Villas. Old Key West was originally the cheapest points, but that has actually changed.
If I get a chance to get a tour while I am there in late March / early April then I will get some real photos, and let you know what I think.

Why are Floridians better than the rest of the world? There are some people that go to Disney World more than the people that live in Florida. Here is a recent finding that I ran into that makes me wonder what makes the Mouse tick…
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. – Florida residents can now put some more magic in their week with the newest ticket introduced at Walt Disney World Resort – the Disney Weekday Select Pass.
The new pass offers Florida residents more than 180 weekdays of fun at all four Walt Disney World theme parks, along with extras like special Passholder discounts, Passholder-only events and exclusive Passholder newsletters. All for less than a dollar a day!

For many years my daughter has been going to Disney World. She loves getting, and buying Disney toys. Each year that she went she used to purchased Mr Potato Head items. She has a rather large collection of them now. She also got a Magic Kingdom Playset when she was much younger. I thought the Magic Kingdom Playset was pretty cool because she got to play “in” the Magic Kingdom when we weren’t there.
We were looking to clean out some of her playroom the other day, and we asked her about those things because she just doesn’t play with them anymore. She told us that she didn’t want to get rid of them yet. I guess it works out for us because when younger children come over to our house with their parents we have something for them to play with.
I don’t know where she gets the hoarding from, but she needs to learn now that it isn’t a good thing to hold onto things forever. I have a small Star Wars collection, but that is a different story. I loved Star Wars as a child, and I have accumulated a rather large collection of games, toys, and more that don’t get used by anyone. One day when I am much older, and broke I will see what they are worth.
Do you have a collection of things that you won’t get rid of either?
