Thank you, but that's all I've got - this trip at least. You're right, I've been many times, but still seem to find something "new" each visit. Same holds true for the parks, too. I never tire of them or the resorts
. I hope you have a great stay and maybe you could post some of your photos to the WL thread?
so true! Last August 2012 we pretty much camped in the AK CL in the evenings 
close to Appies, drinks, and those yummy desserts! Too bad that CL didn't have a Savana view! But then BC didn't have any view from their CL either. 
. The WL is just beautiful and these pics make me want to stay CL in December (especially since I already know how gorgeous it is during the holidays 
), but I'm staying strong and sticking with CR CL and Poly CL....but I know we'll eventually get back to WL CL as we had such a fantastic stay there in the past 
.

Awww shucks and thank you, but these must look very familiar considering you were staying CL right before I arrived
But we missed a whole lot of other things that you talked about. 
There are so many great resort choices at WDW. WL's theming is amazing and there is such a great attention to detail everywhere. Such as the "faux soot" on the ceilings right above the (gas) fireplaces. Illusion is everywhere at WL/VWL
If you need more photos, my other TRs from last year and the thread have more. What's also nice about the OFC is that the lounge and the Standard CL rooms and suites are all on the same floor as the lounge, unlike the KC at AKL. You can get to the cobbler faster!
Looks like they expanded the tour. I don't recall Ranger Stan taking us to the Carolwood room. Cute bird peeking out of the log!
Thank you for your kind comment and I know you're going to have a great stay. If you get a chance, we'd love to read about your stay on the WL thread
Another one with a stay just around the bend. What a great time of year to be able to go. I hope you'll post about your stay, too.
Awww, thank you! I'm really looking forward to your CL reviews. Are you going to do a TR or just post to the threads?Awesome pics, KOOK
Thanks and at least it confirms you chose a great resortGreat pics, Kook!!
We have just about 2 months until our trip and these pics aren't making the wait any easier!
I'm glad you feel better now and you saved some money, tooThanks for sharing! My kids convinced me to change from GF to WL bunk bed courtyard view & I was feeling pretty bummed. This really helped
. BTW, if you haven't done so, you might want to add "INNER or WL" Courtyard View to your request, just to ensure your view is of the WL courtyard and Bay Lake instead of the VWL courtyard.Thanks for throwing the framing comment inYep, but it is always a peaceful way to end the day looking at more pics (framed and everything) of the beloved Lodge!
Btw, what are the chances that very large spoonful missing from that blueberry cobbler is sitting on a plate very close to your DH.......
. The chances are GREAT that the missing piece made its way into DH. The next missing piece, not pictured, most likely made it on to my plate
Ours, too and I can't wait to see it at Christmas
Dani, you showed great restraint. Is it time to get him up now to look at the pictures?Oh, Kookster, you're KILLING ME! I was seriously about to yell for Danimal to come look. Then I realized the time, and that tomorrow is the first day of school. Priorities and all that.
Looks like it was a chilly day? When we sit in front of the huge window in the CL lounge, it overlooks that area and I rarely see anyone out there. It's great that you have your private nicheWe found this balcony.
We found a really nice public balcony at the other end of the 4th floor that overlooked the courtyard and Silver Springs and had some nice chairs and benches to sit on. This was the view from that balcony:
Why didn't you say HOWDY?! Keep us posted on your summer plans - you know where the WL thread isAwesome pics!!! We were at WDW at the exact same time, 7/31-8/10! I am now planning for next year's trip and WL just made it to my short list
You're welcome and thank you for your sweet comment. I have ticker confusion - are you there at WDW now?These pictures are fantastic. Thanks for taking the time to take and post them.
Is that good or bad, Miss FTP?
It easy to get excited about WL. You'll be back so soon!
Thank you, Sheila! Howsabouts a split stay?
I figured it was well known, but then I realized I've never seen anyone out there. I've never been at night, but wonder if you can catch a glimpse of Wishes way over to the right
Ah, the pressure! I didn't want this to be a repeat of the last two WL TRs and I try to keep current info. up on the WL thread. Maybe tomorrow I'll just post a short trip summary. But, it might just sound like all the other trips
Great to have you over on this side of Bay Lake and thank you!
You'd need a villa or a Deluxe room, but I've never seen those discounted. Have you considered a bunk bed? Those will fit even adults.
Awww shucks and thank you, but these must look very familiar considering you were staying CL right before I arrived
Do it, do it! If you book a Deluxe room you'd have a see-thru balcony
If I don't get antsy and do it sooner, WL Deluxe CL will be our next anniversary Resort after FWC. Yep, still holding strong at FWC for Feb/Mar 2014. 
The only sad part is no magical upgrades to be had there, but we'll muster on because it's gotta be done and because I just got awesome FWC-centric ADRs last week!!! I'm not much of an RCer these days. I know what I want. Take care! Christmas WL style sounds positively KOOK-a-liscious!
