OK, so not really VWL, but the WL!

Every time I have thought “maybe I’ll try VWL this time”, I’ve ended up sticking with BWV and BCV, just because I love them so much (and in the case of BWV – the lower points).

So this summer I have two hotel days before going to the BWV. I wanted to stay at the Poly, but the AP rates were too high for me. So I booked an AP water view at CSR at first – but still was feeling regrets as I really wanted to stay near the MK. So I decided to change to the WL – DGD really wants to eat at the WCC, and we’ll be spending most of our time those days at the MK and have a dinner at the GF too – might as well be in the area! And now I get to experience the WL to see how I like it. So I splurged a bit and booked a courtyard view – the AP rate was about ½ way between the CSR and Poly price.

I’ve visited a few times and love walking around the lodge, but never felt a big urge to stay there – I see enough pine trees in Maine and I’ve never been one for the hunting/outdoorsy theme. Doesn't mean it's not appealing, I just always chose my home first. Time will tell if I’m willing to give up my BWV stays for VWL, but at least I can say I’m trying it on for size!

I'm excited! :banana: :banana: :banana:
 

kathleena...I"m sure you'll enjoy your stay at WL. And don't go to WCC looking for a quiet little dinner! :rotfl:

It might be that the theming doesn't appeal to you as much as BCV/BWV, but I guarantee your DGS will love it! Enjoy! :)
 
When will you be at the Lodge? your ticker puts you sometime in Aug?
DS13 & I will be at VWL Aug 13-21 and BCV Aug 21-27

Arriving Friday 8/19 and departing Sunday 8/21 to go over to the BWVs until 8/26. Maybe we can plan to meet! Although DGD10 "doesn't like boys" (she says they eat dirt and worms and yukky things) she would probably like a pool buddy!

"Remember to rub Humphrey's nose!"

I'm just gonna guess that this might be a moose and not a CM at Check-in?

I think I'm going to have to find a WL lodge thread on the resorts board. I'm really so excited I changed!

And I have eaten at WCC - it was DH's and DFDH's birthdays and we had a pretty hysterical breakfast!
