DVC Mike live from BCV (10/23-11/1/09)

[DVC Mike]

Ahh, another great day at BCV!

I spent the morning at Universal Orlando. I walked around both USF and IOA. I only went on one attraction (Shrek 4D).

I went to Universal Studios Hollywood a lot when I lived in Southern California. Universal Orlando is great if you're into roller coasters.

The pictures from around Crescent Lake makes us wish we were there now, oh well not long to go.

OMG....you are SO making me wish I was there. I love the photos you take during your morning walk. So beautiful.

130 days to go until my next vacation.... <sigh>

As always - amazing pics from Mike! Thank you SO much for sharing them with us. Now I can't wait for our Dec 2010 trip! (I still haven't decided on staying entirely at BWV w/boardwalk view or splitting with BCV. I'd love to be able to experience the BCV's but we are only staying 7 nights. I'll be renting points and I just wish the Beach Club Villas had better views.)

Is this your feed on Ustream? http://www.ustream.tv/channel/mikefeedone

Thanks!

Mike, I am also a huge fan of your live reports and your pictures!
Love all of your pictures along Crescent Lake and the BC area.
Thanks for the pictures of US too.....I never go outside the bubble so I am always there with blinders on!
Your food reservations look wonderful too.....keep on relaxing and enjoying your vacation.

Tracy

I have a quick question. Is it safe to assume that all of the rooms by the already done exterior were refurbished already? We'll be there in 2 weeks, and I'm just wondering what are our chances of getting a refurbished room? We're staying in a BW view studio. Thanks.

I talked to Tim K. (tjkraz) yesterday, and he asked to be moved from his current room at BWV due to construction going on in the room above him from 8am - 5pm each day. They had nothing available at BWV, so they moved him over to Kidani Village.

thanks for a wonderful report Mike - your photos are fantastic!!

Wasn't he in a standard view room? So, room refurb has nothing to do with external refurb then? For instance, they're doing BW view external refurb, but standard view rooms?

That photo of Y&BC at sunset is absolutely STUNNING!!! Disney could use that in an advertisement. You could blow that up and frame it!

I spent some time in Epcot at the F&W festival.
