Do we think it’ll be easier to check into the MM party tomorrow at the park gates at 7, or from inside the park at 6?

That's a very carefully worded quote. In particular, it does not say it will be "part of" DVC so much as Members will have access to it.

I am 100% confident that this wording is only because they can't legally advertise it as part of DVC yet. I don't think there has ever been any doubt that this is a mixed-use resort exactly as it was originally described prior to the lockdown.

They changed the article since I first read it. Glad that Bill Diercksen at least made a vague comment now.

I agree with your assessment.

I was told in a thread that something along the lines of “we don’t even know for sure if Lakeside Lodge will be part of DVC”.

 

[Brian Noble]

Well, in the epistemological sense, we don't. But that's not the same as we don't.

(This was, strangely enough, the point of my Philosophy of Knowledge course as an undergraduate. It happened to be taught by The Guy Who Wrote The Book.)

It was very easy to check in at the AK MM inside the park. Since this was my one and only MM party, I don't have anything to compare it with.

Any guesses as to what is in the "Peaks" at the very top of roof line? Counting from the left side, peak is facing left also. Third building has even the smaller peak way up on top of buildings. Fourth building up top, restaurant, Grand Villa?

I will leave it to those more qualified than me to speculate.

Okay thanks! Pretty much no wait?

We typically try to check in inside the park. At our recent DCA MM, we didn’t have day tickets for all guests, showed up 30m after check-in started, and STILL waited 30m in line to check-in.

Conversely, I don’t think we’ve ever had more than a 5m wait inside a park for MM check-in.

Thanks for posting, Astro.

I'm usually an optmist but I could not help myself with the final thoughts (sales pitch) in the article:

• Disney Lakeshore Lodge is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing Disney Vacation Club developments in years Umh I'm not sure. It is one of the larger room developments in recent years.
• Its combination of prime location (transportation options boat and bus for a whole lot of guests), immersive storytelling (ok), and new accommodation types (will the lake lodges be that much different than the WL cabins) could make it a standout option for Members and renters alike.

Don't get me wrong. I hope it is uniquely differentiated from the other resorts. At the moment I see

It’s going to be a MASSIVE resort…. now let’s see about the quality of the materials.

There was no wait when went to the designated pick up spot. We were there as soon as they started handng out wristbands. Enjoy the party.

Disney Lakeshore Lodge is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing Disney Vacation Club developments in years Umh I'm not sure. It is one of the larger room developments in recent years.

In fairness, it's been two years since the last one, so it qualifies by default. They didn't say how many years, and two qualifies as "years". And it is only "one of" the most intriguing, not "the most".

1900 Park Fare or ‘Ohana for brunch?

1900 Park Fare or ‘Ohana for brunch?

That’s a tough one. I’d give the edge to Ohana cause stitch and family style, more enjoyable with kids that way.
