If it is cold and rainy, we probably won't go (understandable, right?

)
If it's a nice night, we'll walk over from VWL.
Once we get there (at VWL), I will try to find out if they will have it that night or not.

Muushka ! I will be very disppointed if: 1) inclement weather or 2) can't get from the airport to Ft Wilderness fast enough !

JT....your photos are fabulous ! Really putting me in the spirit ! And that pizza pic....ohhhhh !!!

I love though that disney has them.

I'm in agreement as well....we just simply do not sleep well on the beds in the values. The themeing is really cute---but the beds do us in. Wonder if Art of Animation has better quality beds ?

Its funny you mention this, I was just looking at the mattress brand to see what it is at OKW, we are seriously considering upgrading ours at home. I havent heard if AOA mattresses are better or not, interested to know.

For those who remember her from a meet at VWL, this is AnnieT

Some pics from FP line at TT

Me in my big performance with the Ziti Sisters, "SuperHero"

Didnt realize T didnt get the more embarrassing moment on our camera, instead on her phone, so fortunately for yall, I will spare you

Muushka · 12-05-2012, 11:08 AM

Thank you for posting the pictures! I feel like I am there with you!

Say hi to Annie for me, please.

See you in a few days!

PS did anyone else get the email saying if you are a PAP holder,
you can invite guests to Blizzard Beach for a few hours? (Dec 6 and 13 from 2-5) Nice.

Nothing political intended, but still feel the same today!!

Clarion Inn Lake Buena Vista. Just an ordinary hotel, but the most comfy beds! Which mean a lot to me.

You all are getting me very nervous about our upcoming value stay!! We weren't supposed to have a trip until 2014 (need more points!), but when the latest special came out, thought we could swing a value!! Eeek! Nervous now!!

Muushka · 12-05-2012, 09:04 PM

Sorry Kathy. As I get older, I swear I am getting so picky! Like Goldilocks. This mattress is too hard.....

Think of it as an adventure and you'll be fine... kind of like upscaled camping

Oh, and don't forget to pack the TP!

... seriously, bring it.

Loving the latest photos

This thread always manages to make me smile

We're staying at VWL February 10-15. We won't be getting WDW park admission this trip. We're probably going to spend a day at Sea World, and visit Bok Tower Gardens one day, and probably visit family on the coast one day. We have one more day to fill. We're wondering if there any things for an old, overweight, out of shape couple to do at the resort that we don't know about. On previous trips we've rented water sprites, taken the lodge tour, and walked to Ft. Wilderness.

LOL.

No worries Kathy, the values are cute it's just as we get older "creature" comforts start to whisper in our ears.

My dh and sons are all tall and my oldest was an offensive lineman in h.s.
squeezing them into double size beds was interesting to say the least.
