1. BWV-first floor pool facing. Loved everything about BWV.
2. Pull down Murphy bed is great!
3. Lizard in room. We carefully relocated "Lizzy" back out to the patio.
4. No lids on lattes from Carousel Cafe or BW Deli. Out or litter prevention?

9. On GOTG, got light mist in face towards the end. People in front of us did also. We all talked w/CM and confirmed no water effects on that ride. Wasn't vomit. Washed face immediately, still a mystery.
10. Space 220 Lounge. We will be back!

13. Jollywood Nights: Loved the nostalgic feel of it and had a great time.

15. MVMCP: it was nice. Waits were reasonable. Cookie locations seemed hidden in comparison to After Hours' carts of food and drink being more easily accessible.
16. Loved the holiday parade! Got a bench in Frontierland about 20-25 mins prior.

20. PSA: Villas building at GF has only one USB port to charge phone by the bed. We were unprepared for this. I asked front desk if there were any available adapters to use to charge phones and MBs, etc. She said no adapters available, offered to move us

So many CM compliments that I sent in via the app. Overall, staff continues to be top notch and one of the main reasons why we return. Can't wait for our next trip!

Love a shenkle list! What a great trip. I always forget BPK rooms are different than Villa studios. We havent stayed in a DVC studio at GF yet so I need to watch videos comparing the two.

@popup, definitely watch vids to see what appeals more to you. Villas building/rooms seemed very "old" from the tiling, worn wooden furniture, etc. Still GF so I was happy, but grateful to be offered a switch to BPK! CM said it was same amount of points.

@lauren, thanks! I didn't see that. I'm a sipper, so kind of a bummer with walking and more chances of drink spilling over, etc. I'll just bring a covered reusable mug next time! :)
