DVC Mike live from VWL/Poly (12/6-12/18/08)

Great pics, Mike. But you're taking pictures of every other resort at WDW. When are we going to get some pictures of the lobby of WL itself ?

Since the flash on my camera is broken, it's difficult to get low-light pictures without a tripod. They always turn out a bit blurry.

Ahhhh I love those cute bears. We went over to VWL Nov. 07 and I remember how cute they were. Love that place at Christmas. Love their tree too. Thanks for sharing. I think the pictures turned out very good.

Looks fine to me - I'm always awe-struck by these bears when I see them in photos - ! can't wait until we get a chance to see them in person at my favorite resort Thanks again!!! Bring some VWL Christmas with you over to the Poly.

Thanks Mike. Two weeks from today we will be spending our first (but I hope not last) Christmas Day at VWL. I can't wait.

Dinner at Artist Point on Monday night was great! I had the Venison Spring Rolls, the Cedar Plank Salmon, and ended with the Berry Cobbler.

Dinner at Liberty Tree Tavern on Tuesday night was good and filling. At Whispering Canyon on Wednesday night, I had the skillet. Remind me never to do two all-you-can-eat dinners back to back!

This morning, we had breakfast at the Kona Cafe and I had the Tonga Toast. Yummy!

I think we're hanging around the resort today, as there are thunderstorms here. My DW is getting an in-room 2-hr massage (boy, she has it rough!).

Good plan! We just got back from the FW Segway Tour. As we were heading over to FW, the skies were black! Very ominous. Despite the weather, they took us on a bit of the outdoor portion of the tour. They provided ponchos but we still got soaked from the knees and elbows down but we had fun anyway. I really appreciate having a dryer in the room after a morning like this!

Keep your children close, away from Goofy "Jaws", or they might disappear.

The Member Mixer looks like fun - too funny about Goofy. I hope you continue to enjoy yourselves. Thanks again for sharing with those of us not fortunate enough to be there now!

 

[manntra]

Thanks Mike for all of your great pictures (love the decorations) and taking the time to share with us! That picture of Goofy and the child is priceless!!

Why am I thinking about really old SNLs?

(I'm really not that old, I wasn't supposed to be up at that time of night.)

Last night we had a nice dinner at the California Grill. We're looking forward to the lounge on the top of BLT.

Tonight was dinner at Kona Cafe, followed by Cirque du Soleil La Nouba. It was a fantastic show! Highly recommended!

Mike, I'm glad to hear you are having such a great holiday trip! Thanks for taking the time to post your pictures and give us daily updates. It's getting me even more excited for our trip, coming up in 4 days!!! We'll be eating dinner at California Grill next week! Did you meet any DIS'ers at the Mixer? What did you think about it, did you have a good time? La Nouba is awesome, we saw it a couple of years ago. I suppose it's time to go again!
