DVC Mike Live from BLT (12/5-12/12/09)

[dianeschlicht]

Mike, you're going to have to post pictures for both of us, since my camera got left on my desk at home! I did try to take a few with the cell phone yesterday, but wasn't terribly successful.

Hope to see you soon!

I'm not Mike, but they took the decorations down for filming of the Christmas Parade


Great pictures as always Mike!

Ah, well, that makes sense! Thank you for the response!

Agree with you on the pictures, I hope Mike keeps them coming.

We really enjoyed MVMCP last night. We rode Splash Mountain over and over again, since it's my DW's favorite ride.

We watched Mickey's Once Upon A Christmastime Parade, followed by Holiday Wishes.

A family next to us was experiencing WDW for the first time. It was cute to watch their little girl's face light up when she saw Tinkerbell.

Today, I'll be going to the DVC Annual Meeting at the Contemporary, followed by dinner at the Kona Cafe.

I just got caught up with your TR. Great as usual and always with the best pictures!!! Seeing those pictures makes me more excited about our trip to BLT next month!! I can not wait!!

 

[DVC Mike]

Much of today was spent at the DVC Annual Meeting at the Contemporary Resort.

We followed that up with dinner at the Kona Cafe.

Tomorrow is the Member Mixer outside of Epcot.

Mike, another great report. Question, IYO, having read your report (Which was very good), on Kidani what are the Pro's & Con's of each resort other then the view aspect.

Thanks.

 

[DVC Mike]

We went to the DVC Merry Member Mixer. I got to meet WebMasterDoc.

On the way, we walked through Beach Club.

Great photos, Mike!

It was great to spend some time with you and your DW and David today. I really enjoyed talking with you all.

Safe travels on Saturday!

Sorry we missed you at the mixer tonight, Mike. We did see Doc, and DVC John at the mixer. The ornament was a highlight, but I could have done without miss Deevy and family. There was a great crowd there this time!

 

[DVC Mike]

We met a guest in the elevator who was staying in a Grand Villa here at BLT (Room 8426). He invited us to his room and gave us a full tour. It was a Magic Kingdom view. All I can say is wow!

Here are some shots from the Top of the World lounge at BLT.

where did you get this at??

 

[RobDoc]

where did you get this at??

That is the DVC pewter ornament gift from this year's Merry Member Mixer. I understand it has also been a gift at the Doorway to Dreams sites in Chicago and Long island.

It will be given the next two Thursdays at the WDW Mixer events.

Any pictures of the Grand Villa Mike?

 

[kid-at-heart]

Love the photos. Happy holidays!

 

[DVC Mike]

Any pictures of the Grand Villa Mike?

While I did have my camera with me, I didn't ask if I could take any pictures as I thought they were being gracious enough just by letting complete strangers into their room.

Wonderful pictures, Mike! Thanks for sharing your trip with us. I can't wait to stay at BLT this Spring!
