Mike - Could you get a good picture of the lobby with the Christmas tree and post it? Thanks. We will be there in two weeks and I can't wait.

DVC Mike, I love your pics! Its nice to read the trip reports when I am low and missing Disney!

We went to the Grand Floridian last night for dinner at Citricos. We haven't been there since May 2007. I'm glad we went back. It was a great meal. I had the Swordfish and it was fantastic!

Hey Mike... We know you don't go anywhere without your camera Any pics of the GF lobby done up for the holidays? .. I'm thinking gingerbread house...

 

[dianeschlicht]

Great pics so far! We'll have to miss all the holiday decor this year, since we aren't arriving until January 20!

Tell me more about The Wave. I've never heard of it, so have no idea where it's located!

How lucky you are to be taking in VWL at holiday time! We visit there every trip, even though we don't stay thre. Artist Point is a must do for us, and I usually love to spend time in the lobby. It give me ideas for my own lodge!

A little OT, can you elaborate about Artist Point? Many posters rave about it. I'm going to make an ADR(hopefully soon!) for AP. The menu looks rather straight forward. Can you comment what is so great about it? Thanks!

Here's a couple of shots of the Wilderness Lodge from Bay Lake:

We're eating at Artist Point tonight. I love the cedar plank salmon, as well as the hot berry cobbler.

Sorry, but I didn't bring my camera when we went to Citricos. Maybe I'll remember when we go to Narcoosees or V&A.

If you valet park at the Contemporary, just go throught the doors and turn left at the end. It's on the first floor.

We liked the decor. The menu is unique. I liked the organic beer.

There's a man's eye view for ya.......how about the menu, Mike? American, Italian. etc? The decor, like retro or early american, etc. Oh yeah, I'm sure you checked out how many different kinds of beer there was! Jeeze Diane, we'll have to wait for a female poster to get the real skinny on it!!

Mike, I love your live reports and pictures, thank you! Can you do me a favor? If you see any evidence of new 2009 coffee mugs (ceramic) in the gift shops, can you take a pic of them? I know its early, but I just thought I'd give it a shot. I hope they've changed the design from the same ol, same ol red ones they have year after year. Thanks!

 

[eliza61]

Have a great vacation Mike. Thanks for the update.

 

[Disney Princess]

Thanks for the pics and report Mike. I am looking forward to more!

 

[ADP]

Thanks for the report Mike. I hope to see you at the DVC Association meeting tomorrow.

View from the Wilderness Lodge, looking out to Bay Lake. I always get the feeling that I'm in a lodge in the mountains next to a lake, and not that I'm in Florida.

Love the pics, Mike! Have a great time at our beloved lodge! We'll be there in less than 3 days!

 

[OurDogCisco]

I'm in... Thanks for the wonderful pictures.. Also, when you go to the DVC meeting could you bring back any info they talk about on RCI? I'm curious of DVCs prospective on the switch and why?

 

[theostwalts]

[edk35]
