    It's a really tricky one as wherever there are forums there will be people who mis-interpret posts and perhaps take offence or other people who come to forums specifically to cause mischief (thankfully we've not got many, if any, of this latter type and do ban any that come along for obvious reasons).

    It's always going to be tricky to express yourself in a written medium without having the face to face benefit of seeing expressions and realising what the poster really means. We totally encourage all posters to be respectful of other people on here and would hope anyone who thinks someone has somehow over-stepped the mark, can email us to let us know their concerns or use the Report To Moderator link on the appropriate post (the small black triangle to the bottom left of each post). We treat all such contact in total confidence and may well be blissfully unaware of it without being prompted.

    We now have a large team of moderators on the forums who are very pro-active and will take immediate steps to ensure everything is kept as it should be. The forums are here for all and no-one should feel they cannot post for fear of being dis-respected or for any other reason.

    I'm more than happy to hear about hotel stays in trip reports and anything else really, as long as it relates to travel and specifically to Florida. You can post anything else if you like too, using our Off Topic forum section. I personally enjoy reading it all and am sure a lot of our other readers and contributors do too.

    How very true John, I know we've stayed in some lovely places based on trip reports posted on OV and even our Vegas trip was a great success thanks to the OV family who made terrific suggestions.

    Us too Carol. There are some fantastic nuggets of information in some of the posts on here with some excellent suggestions for something different to do or whatever. Long may it continue as it's always nice to try something different .

    That's helpful John. Can you please just clarify that the Trip Reports forum is specifically for FLORIDA trips?

    I'm happy to see any USA trip reports in there as long as the thread title clearly says if it's not Florida related (so anyone who is not interested in areas outside Florida will know to ignore it). I know I personally really enjoy reading the California / Nevada ones for example as it's an area we love too.

    Wendy, Katy’s Grandad and Big Momma.
    I do understand how you feel and we do take your comments onboard.

    I am a member of several forums but I rarely post on them for the very same reasons you have mentioned. It isn't very pleasant when you are verbally attacked for having a point of view. or for doing something a different way that isn't the norm. But sometimes the written word can be interpreted as being harsh.


    As we have already stated we now have numerous moderators on OV and we do read every post. So come on get writing your trip reports, your experiences and your points of view.
    After all we all love Florida, sharing our posts should be enjoyable and informative.

    We stop in a hotel every year, (two in fact as we are DVC members) we feel the quality is fantastic & love the Disney atmosphere.

    That being said we also stop in villas, (next visit this Christmas & New Year). What is right for one visit is not necessarily right for the next visit, larger group etc.

    I have noticed over the years some very negative responses (or I felt they were!!) to "non villa owners comments". Not that that would bother me in the slightest, as I will do what I think is right for my family.

    The villa we are staying in this time is not from this site, as when I requested information, for some strange reason I never got any responses. I did post a question about it at the time.

    That said I do feel this site is awesome & as others have said "I have my daily fix". I have also used the car hire service quite a few times now, with the next 2 visits already booked. So we will continue to stay in hotels & villas depending upon our needs.

    Hi Carol.

    You never know!! Only 45 days now. Just booked ICE & SNOW at Gaylord Palms. Did ICE 2 years ago, loved it. Snow sounds interesting.

    I found it strange, 78deg outside -5deg (or whatever) inside. We just love everywhere done up for Christmas, Parks Resorts, Villas, Malls etc & walking round in tee shirts[msnsmile2]
