Favorite little thing about staying on property?

[DunkieKong]

I know everyone loves the Extra Magic Hours, and the fantastic Disney service and atmosphere. But what is your favorite little thing about staying on property? I would definitely say mine has to do with the wake-up calls. I love when I call to schedule a wake up call, and the computer operator says "and we wish you magical dreams". It just really makes me feel like I'm at Disney when I hear that. I wish my alarm clock at home could do the same thing.

We usually stay at the boardwalk and I love going down to the bakery in the moring. It's really peaceful & quiet at that hour.

I love passing through those gates and knowing that I'm *there* for a whole week. Nothing from the outside ruining my magic. I know that everything that happens there happens because that's the way Walt wanted guests to be treated, and for me that's the full magical package!

Whatever view our value resort has. Like at Music we could see the Epcot Globe from our room. Even when we stayed at movies and we could see the Fantasia hat out the window... knowing by your view you are in the happiest place in the world... can't beat that!

Using Disney transportation and no driving.

Leaving the outside real world behind and living in the magic of "Disney" world. All the the resorts do a very good job of creating the ambience and atmosphere that gives you the magical place feeling. One of those little things is the background music playing at the resorts.

WDW transportation.

Love knowing that I'm on vacation, I'm not in a hurry and I don't have to drive! *LOL*

Getting to sleep in and STILL get to the parks at a decent hour! I love not having to drive an hour to get to the parks early.

Using Disney transportation and no driving.

I never want to search a parking lot again!!!

Boarding the plane in Baltimore, I know that I will not have another worry for 8 days!!!

We usually stay at OKW and I love the total inclusiveness of the property! The tennis court, the exercise room, the pool, the transportation, The Gurgling Suitcase LOL ( alot of times DH and I will get off at Hosp. House and grab one of their yummy Pina Coladas for the room!) not to mention the Jimmy Buffet and Bob Marley playing in the background

But mostly I love it when we check in and they say "Welcome home!" ... so true

Just knowing that I am in the "World" with no worries from the outside world!

Another vote for Disney transportation. It's nice that if my DH wants to go back for a nap that we can split and meet up later that day.

Also I love when I'm checking in. Just standing there and watching my younger DD color and watch TV and my older DD asking for money for the gift shop. Oh, vacation!

WDW transportation. I love that I can be dead tired and not have to worry about getting to my car and behind the wheel. Plus, I can do a "beers around the world" tour in WS

I also like being immersed in Disney and not dealing with the outside world (like traffic - ugh). I live that everything we do, whether it is eating, swimming, taking a walk, relaxing in the room, etc - always has at least a touch of WDW magic.

The quirky bus drivers for Disney Transportation

The total immersion into all things Disney! Not having to leave the property at night! Not having to drive! Knowing that if anything is not just right with the room, a quick phone call will take care of it pronto! I've never gotten a mosquito bite on WDW property! Wake up calls!

Total Immersion in the Magic!!!!!

The themeing that extends the Disney magic over the entire vacation.

I have stayed at way too many hotels over my business career and, frankly, staying in another hotel is not special.

However when you stay at AKL, WL, CBR or Pop you get experience something new and FUN. The decor, the music, the lanscaping, Disney TV, hidden Mickey's.

In my opinion, the Disney resort is half the fun of a WDW vacation.

The magic never ends!

I take the bus to work at home, but evenings and weekends I'm ferrying people about.

My kids are too young to drive, so I chauffeur them. My sister doesn't drive, so I chauffer her. Most of my friends don't have cars, so I chauffeur them. Thank goodness my Dad still has his driver's license!

So it's so nice to let someone else do the driving. No maps, no reading street signs, no gassing up the car, no waiting for the air conditioning to cool the car off, no search of the parking lot (I have the world's worst sense of direction). I can sit, relax and chat and enjoy the scenery.
