Contemp lost lots of trees on side near WL

We were able to see Wishes from that angle quite well from the beach
Right when the fireworks start the geyser would go off

A lot of those were down after Charley and Frances. By the time Jeanne came through, much of the old growth that was going to be lost already had.

A co-worker of DH said that while riding on the train in the MK you could also see that ALOT of trees had fallen and were in the process of being removed.

On the bus ride to DtD we saw so many trees down on what I think was OKW. It was these green villa types houses that looked to have a few condos in each one. They were right next to the Saratoga Springs resort. There must have been 4-5 huge trees on top each of probably 10 of these buildings. The bus driver told us that Charley was the worse storm and did that damage. Another CM that was getting a ride to his job pointed out the tornado damage too. Really was sad to see all those trees down.

I think what you were seeing were some of the old Fairway Villas at the Disney Institute. This was as you drove along the road between the entrances of OKW and SSR, right?

Sad to see, and a bit sad to realize that those buildings won't be open to guests again, as they were already slated for removal and replacement with more SSR villas.
