Mike - I totally enjoyed looking at your pictures and following your relaxing vacation!

Oh I loved the balloon shots. We've been thinking about it for our trip in January... now I really want to go experience it myself.

 

[LisaS]

Thanks for posting the photos you took from the balloon ride. What a great view from up there!

This morning, I took my last early morning stroll around Crescent Lake. It's very relaxing and soothing to the soul.

I won't be back here for quite some time (BWV in Mar 2011 and BCV in Oct 2011), so I took it nice and slow.

You can probably tell I really like this area, since I keep posting pictures of it over and over again!

I slept in late today. Relaxed in the room for a while, and then I decided to wander over to DHS while DW got a 2-hour in-room massage.

Mike,

Great trip report, and I love the pictures. We were at BCV for most of the week as well and had a great week.

I had to laugh at this picture - the row of beach chairs on the right that is closest to the pool and the blue backpack that is on the ground next to the chair closest to the end - definitely ours! And I'm pretty sure that is me and my family near the Sinking Sand buoy!

Thanks for some great pictures of our shared week!

I was just thinking about Jordan this afternoon! She looks happy - thanks for finding her, Mike!

Where was the picture taken? I really want that Pinocchio piece.

And we like seeing them over and over again!

Thanks again for all your wonderful photos, and the balloon looks very cool we'll have to give it a try on our next trip.

We're packing up tonight. I'm glad Daylight Savings Time ends tonight, as that means I get an extra hour of sleep before I have to wake up in the wee hours of the morning.

Goodbye Beach Club Villas! It's been another swell DVC trip!

See any people dressed up in costumes tonight on their way to MNSSHP?

DVC Mike:

Thanks for the great trip report and pictures. We are taking some very good friends to the World next year that have not been for quite some time and I keep having her go to your report to see the wonderful pictures of the Beachclub and other things.

I went to Best Buy and Target regarding your camera that takes the best pictures by the way and it appears that a next generation has been released. I was ready to buy your exact camera as your pictures are so good. Thanks for sharing...always enjoyable.

 

[ccigliano]

Thanks Mike. It was a great ride!!!! Can't wait to be at the VWL in early December.
