DVC Mike Live from BLT (Dec 4-12)

[DVC Mike]

what floor are you on with those views?

We're on the 10th floor.

 

[dizkneedreamers]

Nice! We bought into BLT, still havent been able to check it out yet.

I used a Nikon 10-24mm wide-angle lens.

If you click through to Flickr, you should be able to view the actual camera settings (including the lens used) for each shot.

I don't think that feature is enabled for others to see the settings. It would be great to see. Thanks.

Actually, I just found it. It was not where I expected it.

Suscribing! I love your trip reports DVCMike! Makes me want to go "home" right now!

 

[Cyndibear]

You are killing me! I soooooo miss my BLT!!!!! We were on the 9th floor in September and had that fantastic view. I will have to wait till next September to enjoy those views in person but your photo's are helping to not miss it too much !

Before sunset, we went over to the Boardwalk before we dined at Flying Fish Cafe, one our favorite WDW restaurants.

Here is the Boardwalk resort's Christmas display

Great pictures - just the pick me up I needed to get in the holiday spirit - too many sick kids at home and unwrapped presents to get too. Thanks for putting a smile on my face this morning!

Mike,
I'm continuing to enjoy your trip report and wonderful pictures! Perhaps you should start a second career as a professional photographer for Disney post cards. Your pictures are much better than the ones sold in the gift shops!

 

[lugnut33]

Nice.

Will you be giving us a report from the shareholders meeting?

 

[mickeys girl 52]

I have been enjoying your report so much. I have not been to WDW during the holidays in a long time. You are reminding me how truly beautiful it is there.

 

[LSchrow]

beautiful photos
we really enjoy gorgeous views (we only book BW view now - thanks for including the BWV pics). but your BLT view photos have convinced me that we need to stay there! imho, few things compare to waking up to and going to sleep with amazing WDW views - that's what dreams consist of.

enjoy your trip - we'll be following your report

Love that Lulu the carousel horse is decorated as a Beaches & Cream server!

 

[ftballfan7]

Don't usually reply to them, but I always follow and enjoy your trip reports. Thank you and keep up the good work.

 

[theww228]

Don't make us beg and plead for a dining review! Have a heart!

Glad to hear to hear you are having a nice time.

 

[Harlemgirl720]

Some simple math tells me this is really cool.....

Have fun!

 

[DVC Mike]

Nice.

Will you be giving us a report from the shareholders meeting?

I'll be there, but so will WebmasterDoc, TimK and others. I'll certainly chime in if they miss anything.

We went over to Epcot this morning. I took my ultra-wide angle (10-24mm) lens and used it exclusively today.

I discovered this morning that David (of David's DVC point rental) was staying on the same floor here at BLT. I haven't talked to him in quite a while, so it was nice to touch base.
