We (denlo and wdrl) did an add on with CCV in April. Our first stay is November 17 and 18, 2017. Then we return March 1 -7 check out on the 8th, 2018 when we move to BLT. I cannot wait to see our studio. I am hoping they will (still) do turns at the resort so I can see a GV and a cabin.
Can we post photos of rooms here and our views? I don't expect anyone to keep track of them, but it is fun to see the rooms when they are new or remodeled. And always great to see views with a room number.
Thanks for starting this thread! I hope to be joining the club in a couple of weeks! (Just waiting for DH to get his new credit card in the mail. Might as well earn some bonus points if we're going to make a big purchase anyways!)
Add me to the list! We joined on our trip last week with a December UY. I was waiting to see CCV because we love WL! We did the tour and got to see a studio, 1BR, and a cabin. We loved them all!
So excited to use our points, but probably won't be booking until Dec for a fall trip next year. We have another big trip in Dec at VGF and BWV and I think that I might push my luck trying for early next year! We'll see.
and CONGRATS!!! So exciting!!! When you plan your trip, let me know and i'll be happy to post it! I added you to our owners list! Did they only offer you a December UY?
*WELCOME HOME!!!*
we have res for the cabins on thurs. Hoping they survive well. It will likely be the only time we will every get to stay in one. I got in when they first opened reservations. I also switched from OKW on tues-thur over to CCV. Excited to spend a few days at the lodge. Never stayed anywhere in wilderness before.OK - must ask for anyone AT WL.....
This will be the very first Hurricane that the CCV cabins get hit with. Please, if there? Wait until about WED, and give us photos of how the Cabins survive?
Will be in a 2 bedroom at BRV from Jan 3-5, and a 2 bedroom at CCV from the 5-9th, I haven't seen any photos of a dedicated 2 bedroom from CCV, so might take some photos. Four of us are doing Dopey! One is doing the 10k. Should be a fun time, would never have been able to do this without DVC.

SO! We decided to change our plans!!! Instead of rushing to book our first DVC stay this November (for the first part of our currently booked trip), we decided to cancel our OKW 4 day part of our trip and will just stay off property before heading over to YC. Instead, we decided to take our very first CCV trip over 4th of July week!! (will also be our first time going in July!) So it's exciting and i'm happy we'll be at our home resort sooner than later! We are all booked and i'm looking forward to it!
That'll be amazing! I've never been at WDW during any of the major holidays, but I'm assuming there should be some spectacular fireworks for 4th of JulyDid your guide also help you book that reservation as well?
The fireworks sound amazing for the 4th! I'm looking forward to it! Nope, I did it online myself! Happy there was availability!
Some dates are tougher than others at the WL resorts. For example, the Thanksgiving/Christmas times fill up quickly and are very tough to grab at the 7-month mark. A couple of years ago when WL was a host resort for the Princess Half Marathon, it booked up quickly, as well. Any major holiday is usually tougher to get since those are traditional vacation times.Very nice! Good to know there was availability. I'm a little nervous about booking since I've read it could take some stalking to get certain reservation dates.

Great job with the new thread!! Very impressed with the 1st page and you have provided some some great info. I love the vibe you have created and the feel you are getting from it. It reminds me of our little thread(VWL groupies)as we have become more than just lovers of the Lodge, we have become friends. We have met several folks through the years because of the thread and genuinely care for each other and our well being. I hope this new thread does the same for you folks! Its something about the Lodge that brings out the best in people
I don't own pts at CCV but a long time owner of pts at VWL(BRV, but us ol timers have a tough time calling it by its new name, but thats another story)
But I do look forward to giving CCV a try in the future.
