We are very lucky to be close to our airport. We are 20 minutes away from BDL. Who has a close airport too. Or who has the farthest airport away.

My airport is five minutes from my house, but I rarely fly out of it. Usually fly with my family out of the Knoxville airport.

8:55pm on 9/20/23 by utang44

MCO is never more than 35 min which is nice. DH commutes back and forth to DC every week & DD flies home 1x/mo so I feel like I can do the drive in my sleep! When we were near Boston that was nice too: had BOS, PVD, ORH (Worcester), MHT, & even BDL.

8:58pm on 9/20/23 by NaviMommy

Our regional airport is 2 miles from our house. We fly out of there most of the time because the closest international airport is 2.5 hrs. Only time we make that drive is if we get a super low price from southwest.

9:07pm on 9/20/23 by simba77

I live 35 minutes from the world's busiest airport.

9:48pm on 9/20/23 by jenc45

30 mins to PHL but have driven 2.5 hrs to BWI for some amazing deals (pre-covid).

10:30pm on 9/20/23 by trixiedust23

I'm within an hour to any of the 3 major NY metro airports but EWR is the closest at about 15/20 min away.

10:43pm on 9/20/23 by Totsypooh

45 minutes from a small one, 2 hrs from 2 medium sized airports.

10:45pm on 9/20/23 by goofinaround

Live 15-20 minutes from JFK, 40 from LGA, assuming minimal traffic. Very convenient!

10:49pm on 9/20/23 by pugcrazee

20 minutes from ORD

10:53pm on 9/20/23 by disneydiane

10-15 mins to IAD. Boy do I miss the cheap Frontier flights.

11:03pm on 9/20/23 by HalfBludPrincess

Both MCI and STL are 2 hours away from us, but at least we can choose!

11:16pm on 9/20/23 by ccc298

We are 25 minutes from SLC

11:37pm on 9/20/23 by jodizzle

3 hours. It sucks.

12:12am by hangthecode

I live about 60-90 min away from major airports... but there four of them to choose from, so I actually feel pretty lucky in that regard!

12:16am by JERancher

Same as JER. 60-90 mins from 2 major and 1 small. I never fly from the small one because there's almost always a connection. I'm hoping someday they'll get a direct to MCO since it is my closest airport.

6:09am by maurine08

We fly out of PIT international, only 7 minutes from my driveway to the departures curb.

6:24am by TacMed

15 minutes from YYZ. :)

7:37am by Toronto2WDW

About 30 min drive to DAL for SW. I have it timed leave garage, drive, park, go through security, walk through terminal to gate - complete in 1 hour.

7:42am by JuniperMB

We fly out of BUF about 10 min drive depending on traffic.

7:44am by Lgm

Wow some of you live so close to your airports! Depending on time of day/traffic, we are 40-60 min from PHL and 60-75 min from BWI. We usually fly out of BWI for Southwest. International we fly PHL, BWI, IAD, or EWR depending on airline and connections.

7:49am by KLuck

10-15 min to DFW, 30 min to DAL. Lots of flight options, especially to MCO.

7:54am by JNDLTOT

We live in NW Iowa and are 3.5 hrs form MSP and 3 hrs from OMA we normally fly out of MSP on Delta for non stop flights.

7:56am by hawkeye91

I'm 90 minutes out of MEM, but today I'm flying out of STL which is 3 hours away.

We're 20 mins from MAN (Manchester, England), slightly less if there's no traffic at all. But I used to work there and it is 90-120 mins in rush hour.

8:23am by missoverexcited

Have fun fishing @MO! We are 1.2 hour from DIA, and 20 minutes from COS.

27 min ago by trishr.

90 minutes from LAX. Closer to Orange County/Santa Ana, Ontario and Palm Springs, but they have more expensive flights that are usually not non-stop.

How are the rooms at Pop compared to All Stars size wise?

29 min ago by curlysue052

I think they are the same size. And they are pretty much furnished the same way. If you do a google search, you can find out the square footage of all the hotels.

27 min ago by vickiwaffles

Never stayed at Pop, twice at Movies. Will be at Pop in May. From photos it looks like rooms with 2 queens are identical. Other than theming and Skyliner I don't see many differences between the properties.

Curious if any DVC owners have had luck getting a grand villa at 7 month's for Oct? We're going to book our home resort at 11mos but don't have the points for the GV at VGF. Hoping we can bounce to BW or AK or really any GV we can snag at 7 months. Thanks

Sooooo excited! DH and I will be heading back in just 10 days! Will at least I will...He will be taking the new Brightline train to Boca Raton for a few days of work. I'll be having fun. Now I wish we had that DVC! Lol

That's awesome! Any special solo trip plans?

3:28pm on 9/20/23 by choirbird

Dang it @youcan, I'll just miss you! Have all the fun!

3:39pm on 9/20/23 by popupcamper

I did wonder @popup. Boo @choirbird I know one thing I really enjoy when solo is finding a rocking chair on Mainstreet to just sit and take it all in. Probably some sampling of food booths too

3:51pm on 9/20/23 by youcanfly

I love this, @youcan! I hope you have the very best time!!

10:24pm on 9/20/23 by JERancher

Solo trips are great! I have a short one coming up in October. Enjoy your adventures!!!

9:03am by joannes1959

Looking forward to hearing a review of the Brightline ride! How fun for you to get extra days there!

9:27am by Jennyhirsch

Thanks @JER :) @jenny I'll share his experience with everyone. I did consider going with him but work trips leave little time for other things. I booked the standard seat for departure and upgraded for return. You can select seats and I loved how they ***

10:16am by youcanfly

** offered conventional seating. Says it will be 2 hours so I think as others mentioned it's not necessarily faster but definitely easier/less stressful.

10:17am by youcanfly

Conventional should say conversational. Sigh. I didn't proof read.

10:19am by youcanfly

And here I was, wondering what non-conventional seats were!

10:37am by Jennyhirsch

Maybe upside down, @Jenny? Like that scene in Figment?

10:58am by TumbleMonkeys

Oooo that gives me vertigo. Haha! On the departure train they were in sets of 4 and on the return the rows were different. Single row on one side so that had a place for 2 people facing each other. I did wonder if anyone might get motion sickness if ***

*** they were facing the back and traveling the opposite direction if that makes sense.

46 min ago by youcanfly

Remember old southwest flights where the front seat faced backwards? And you got your boarding card as you arrived to the gate? My uncle was a salesman so always got there early so he got one of those seats so he could meet lots of friends. He's chatty.

41 min ago by popupcamper

I have no memory of that Southwest seat! But Ive been on trains with them. Yes to motion sickness from facing backwards!

11 min ago by Jennyhirsch

I'm so glad I kept checking back on the Dining Promo deals - POFQ popped up with a deal for November 1st. You might check other dates if you're booked there. I didn't really want to change resorts and was holding out for FQ.

Nice! POFQ is my fav moderate resort :)

9:24am by cdlla

It's my favorite moderate resort too because it's so small, easy to food and transportation. I rarely see it pop up on deals/offers, so wanted to share for others.

Hoping it pops up on the D+ discount for my end of Nov trip, I'd rather stay there than POR.

1. Staying at BRV, love WL and the refurbed villas are really nice. 2. HEA with Main Street projections, so wonderful to finally see HEA again.

7:46am on 9/3/23 by LandDownUnder

Yay for a LDU trip and and a Liner meet!

8:56am on 9/3/23 by TumbleMonkeys

It was so nice. And yay for a list of firsts! It amazes people when we tell them how many times we do something new when they think about how often we have been here.

8:58am on 9/3/23 by youcanfly

Yay for a Shenkel list!

9:11am on 9/3/23 by missoverexcited

I think we could visit 100 times and still see or do something new. It's one of the reasons we love it here.

9:16am on 9/3/23 by LandDownUnder

Have a Magical time @ldu! So glad liners are friends too:)

9:23am on 9/3/23 by vmorrison63

Another great day yesterday. The jet lag caught up with DH so we had a really late start at Epcot. In the evening we met up with @LTinNC82 for a fun monorail crawl and a stop at the Villains Lair to have a drink with @NYGIANTMickeyFan and Oscar.

7:53am on 9/4/23 by LandDownUnder

Cool!

7:58am on 9/4/23 by TumbleMonkeys

https://instagram.com/p/CwxLADsuJgF/ 3. DH tried and really liked the PB&J sticky wings at Brew-Wing Lab. 4. I had the mediocre beef ramen at the Noodle Exchange. 5. Drinks at Tiki Terrace, Christina was a fun server.

7:59am on 9/4/23 by LandDownUnder

What a fun night!

9:52am on 9/4/23 by youcanfly

It was!

11:00am on 9/4/23 by LandDownUnder

MK and DS yesterday, I think MK was the quietest we've ever seen during the day. https://instagram.com/p/CwziNY_ObNr/ 6. Wine Bar George, really nice and our server Adrian was fantastic.

7. Fireworks from the boat on our way back to WL, we had a great view! https://instagram.com/p/Cw1ixLOsK1_/ We've loved our stay at BRV, today we move to the Poly Bungalows. So excited!

Bungalows? Amazing!

8:31am on 9/6/23 by royjoyahoy

You're living the liner dream by staying at the bungalows!:)

8:58am on 9/6/23 by vmorrison63

I must say I'm so excited to hear all about the Bungalows!

9:11am on 9/6/23 by youcanfly

Bungalows were DH's request for his 50th celebration. Luckily we had extra DVC points because we bought a couple of stacked contracts.

9:33am on 9/6/23 by LandDownUnder

Wow- enjoy the bungalow!

10:43am on 9/6/23 by hodg

Love the pictures! Can your DH teach my DH how to smile for photos?

11:12am on 9/6/23 by trishr.

Woohoo. Living it up! Enjoy the bungalow!

11:13am on 9/6/23 by Totsypooh

8. DH had the braised beef poutine at the Refreshment Port booth, beef good but overall just OK. 9. I had to try the lamb chop from Australia, lamb and pesto pretty good but potato chips on top made no sense. 10. Chocolate pudding from Ireland, yum.

12:52pm on 9/7/23 by LandDownUnder

11. Lights on in Space while we were on PM, very cool. 12. Staying in a bungalow, amazing! Not going to a park today, just enjoying the bungalow. https://instagram.com/p/Cw5Dk6VuNF6/

8:49am on 9/8/23 by hlbyers

@hibyers we're down towards the TTC which is not where I requested but we're enjoying waving at the ferries. I'm pretty sure all of them have an amazing view of the fireworks, I don't think you can go wrong with any of them.

10:49pm on 9/11/23 by LandDownUnder

18. First stay at BCV, a really nice CM found us a refurbed room. Room is nice but I prefer the theming at WL and Poly. CMs here are so friendly. 19. People Mover in a thunderstorm, we were thankful when we got stopped inside for a while.

10:55pm on 9/11/23 by LandDownUnder

Very cool they found a refurbed room for you. Location, location, location.

6:40am on 9/12/23 by MeetMeAtThePoly

@meet we're having to check in at the desk each time because when we check out of a resort the system is losing our online check in for the next resort. The CM at the Poly was almost rude about this but the BC CM was wonderful and super helpful.

7:02am on 9/12/23 by LandDownUnder

Ugh for rudeness. And smh at Disney IT. Why checking OUT would have any bearing on the next place you're checking IN to is beyond me.

8:56am on 9/12/23 by evamarie320

@eva we love the Poly, but we had multiple issues this trip. If this was our first time there I don't think we'd return. Interestingly they did not send me a post stay survey so I'll need to email my feedback.

11:51am on 9/12/23 by LandDownUnder

20. First time having Tal Marik hold us at the start of the ride on Guardians, cool. 21. Epcot Forever, once was probably enough. https://instagram.com/p/CxISBi1uN-O/

I kinda felt the same about Epcot Forever. Glad it is going by our next trip.

Yep, I hope the next show is good.

8:30am on 9/13/23 by LandDownUnder

10:36am on 9/15/23 by LandDownUnder

Love the water pageant video at the end. Assuming that's from your room? Great view!!

11:44am on 9/15/23 by youcanfly

Yes our room is right in the middle of the tower, the pageant view is fantastic. The daytime view is lovely as well, lots of boats, DS balloon and Spaceship Earth. Also on a high enough floor that we don't hear the noise from the concourse.

12:28pm on 9/15/23 by LandDownUnder

@land, how much longer is your stay?

1:56pm on 9/15/23 by popupcamper

We leave on the 23rd. 4 more nights here then 4 nights at BWV. It's going so fast.

I gotta know, @land...how did they handle that tour with the bear roaming?

12:29pm on 9/18/23 by utang44

@utang I would also like the answer to that since basically the whole tour is on that side of the park, but our tour was yesterday so was pre-bear.

2:43pm on 9/18/23 by LandDownUnder

Pre-bear made me laugh!

3:36pm on 9/18/23 by youcanfly

Ah, OK! I wasn't sure since I saw the tour photo this morning on IG.

Sadly we leave on Saturday, the whole trip is just over 3 weeks. We will have 24 hours in Fiji on the way home which should help a bit with the long travel time and jet lag.
