We arrived at BLT on Saturday for our first-ever stay in a villa and we've been very happy and pleasantly surprised with the one bedroom villa. We've been spoiled by its size (1000 SF) and the two bathrooms, a W/D
a view of Bay Lake and a whirlpool tub and king bed. I've taken many photos that I'll post in a TR next month. The only problem with BLT is that it isn't WL
. But, we'll be checking-in to WL tomorrow in time for breakfast in the lounge
We've been constantly on the go since arriving, but I think we'll slow down a bit when we check-in to WL. There's just something about
the wilderness that's so calming and those cozy leather chairs just beckon you.
Oh, right after checking-in to BLT on Saturday, we had the pleasure of meeting
TheLodgeLady herself! (Thank you for coming over to the CR
). Since meeting her, I've renamed her
TheLovelyLodgeLady
Hey guys...wondering if anyone knows if the a/c is motion controlled. There's another thread that indicated it was...I knew this was the place to get "the facts".
It wasn't as of April. You might be thinking of the Poly?
Kook,
Among all the great tidbits of info you'll discover for us, is there any chance you can get an update on the status of Wishes rooftop viewing at WL? I'm still hoping for that as part of my anniversary present to my DW. If not I need to start working on other plans.
Thanks!
BTW - just took a two hour drive each way for a weekend trip and the prospect of 10-11 hours for this upcoming Disney trip doesn't seem like fun. It's one of the very few things I miss about living in Florida. The ability to head up there for the weekend was pretty cool.
I would be happy to give you an update on Tuesday after we check-in
. Any other 'tidbits' you'd like to know about?
I know JUST what you mean about the drive. We often vacation within 2-3 hours from our home, and the drive to WDW is almost 14 hours for us. We took two days down, but we drive home non-stop and just the 9 hours we did on Thursday was PLENTY. But, once you get to WDW/WL, you'll feel much better (especially after a good night's rest and some cobbler
).
Checked in and got upgraded from standard to courtyard view!
. We are in MK now. The kids pick for their first ride of the trip Small world.
WOWZA! Whatanupgrade
. We rode IASW last night during EMH since there was no wait at all. Have you been watching the EWP from your room?
5 days until we arrive to Hilton Head Resort and 6 days until Wilderness Lodge!
I've reached the point where I have no attention span and I just want to go to the airport and wait for my flight to leave!
All of our preDisney errands have been done (I think) and now I just have to do
and pack
Your trip is almost here! You'll be at HH and WL so soon
We just switched from ASMu to Wilderness Lodge for Free Dining December 10-15th!!! I'm so excited to be at WL around Christmas. The only deluxe we've stayed at is Poly, so it should be great.
Congratulations on upgrading to WL
. What a great time of year to go to WL and WDW. I hope you have a wonderful vacation!
