My mum and dad are in Walt Disney World.
I had no intention of starting a thread about this (although I have mentioned it on another thread), until my dad posted this on facebook this morning...

My mum and dad had a great time. I have just interogated/interviewed/chatted to them about their trip.
Their favourite restaurant was The Wave, they enjoyed breakfast and dinner there.
The best meal was a white fish entree they had in the Flying Fish cafe on the Boardwalk.
They said Splitsville was great for cocktails.
They did all the walking trails and particularly liked walking from HS to Epcot.
They liked Soarin' and American Adventure. They loved all the shows especially Nemo.
Their experience in Narcoosees was good. My mum also liked Breakfast in the Captains Grille at Y&B club.
One of their favourite things was getting the boat from POFQ to DTD.
They loved FQ and the carriage ride.

So glad they had a wonderful time!

I tried to find DTD to OKW and was told by CMs that you could not walk there - just to SS! Where does it connect?
glad they had a great time.

Oooh I'd love to know this, too!

I agree with them that the walking trails are wonderful--especially the Wilderness Lodge to Fort Wilderness trail. I did that one in September and I saw deer, squirrels, and rabbits on the trail. What fun!

We did the walk from OKW to DTD too when we stayed at OKW in November 2013. It goes from the back of building 55. As we were there for the F&W marathon weekend there were a few people jogging/running the trail too. It takes about 40 mins to walk from Building 55 to the Marketplace area of DTD.
The wilderness lodge trail was really quiet. We were the only humans but we saw deer, squirrels and rabbits too.

I am staying at OKW this summer - thanks for the directions! And I want to do the FW to WL too at some point. Love the scenic beauty of Disney spaces. 
Mum and Dad had such a good time that they have booked to go back again this November for Food and Wine Festival...
Without us kids again...
