Let's see... where were we? OK, I remember! We had just gotten into our BWV room and had the daunting task of unpacking everything! I HATE having luggage all over the place, and I like to have it put away as soon as possible. OCD much? Yep - that's me.
Sounds a lot like me!! My DD15 lived out of her suitcase the entire trip - drove me bonkers 
While we're on the subject of DVC (again! sheesh!) I have a funny story to tell you on how we actually could afford to buy into DVC in the first place. It all started 10 years ago - the beginning of our Disney Decade! Remember that short video clip I posted a few pages back, of the kids when they were little? That was our 1st time at the Boardwalk, right after it just opened in 1996. I was head over heals in love with the place. On the day we left WDW, I vowed that one day we would buy into DVC at the Boardwalk. One way or another. Of course, we didn't have the money to do it - it was only a dream! At that time we had a country house on 5 acres of land - no horses or crops, just lots & lots of grass to cut! It was so much work that we had a huge John Deere tractor to get the job done in a weekend. After years of being slaves to our property, we finally had enough. In late 1997, we put our house up for sale and moved into the city. Needless to say, we didn't need that big tractor anymore! This was the opportunity I was waiting for! We sold the tractor and bought into DVC! WooHoo!
I've never looked back!
I loved this paragraph - it really made me smile. I'm truly happy for you all - very lucky 
Here's the view from our balcony at dusk...
Beautiful pic!!!!!
We finally had everything done by 6pm. It was time to go to Epcot and have dinner at LeCellier! After a short walk through International Gateway, we made it into Epcot. I just love the back entrance! We walked past England and on to Canada. Boy was it crowded! There were people everywhere waiting to get into LeCellier! Many people were turned away completely. This was the 1st sign so far of the holiday crowds to come!
We had a very nice dinner and ate more pretzel bread that we should have! The kids got Northern Lights for their drinks, and had fun with their light up ice cubes throughout dinner. (they never really grow up! LOL!) After dinner we walked around World Showcase and found a spot infront of China to watch Illuminations.
I want to try LeCellier next time around - being Canadian and all
