Checked out yesterday (Sunday morning) from the VGC from our first stay, and I am still sitting in awe of the place.
First, I have to give a huge thanks to nonsuch.
I used your room request template to try and get an awesome view of WoC from the room, and we ended up with 5508, which was number 2 on the list of 1 bedrooms! My family could not stop gushing about it. For them, it was just the beginning of the Disney magic. Due to some changed plans, they ended up not being able to see it in the park on Saturday, so I was really glad they had at least experienced it from the balcony on Friday. We're all looking forward to our reunion next January, when I assured them I would get a 2 bedroom so we could fit more family comfortably.
Second, we were in love with our "home" and the service we all experienced around the resort. I, for one, took a whirlpool bath each morning, and being 30 weeks pregnant, I cannot stress enough how much that restored me each day. I really miss it already.
And last but not least, my DH and I even decided we are going to spend a few more short vacations there over the next year instead of going to Aulani next summer. With a baby on the way, short trips to DLR will be easier for all of us than a long vacation to Hawaii. Can't wait to go "home" and next time, bring our son with us.
