Checked in on Sunday at the front desk at WL and was assigned room 4541.The cm checking us in gave me our first official "Welcome Home" :) We had a 1 bedroom and a nice view of trees with the lake peeking through .Front desk had delivered balloons and a card from Mickey and Minnie wishing us a Happy Anniversary. Very nice! LOVED having the xtra room (only 3 of us), the washer/dryer and 2 tv's! The tub was very cool and my 6 yr old loved it! :) I wish I knew about the shower as I almost gave myself a heart attack with the cold shot of water! :earseek: Got up real early one morning just to stroll thru the lobby and check out the Iron Spike room. Ahhhhh! Beautiful and peaceful! :love: We enjoyed the Hidden Springs pool and it was never crowded at all. We went to watch the geyser go off and my son was soaked and happy! The only thing was that he got attacked by little biting bugs outside and had some kind of reaction where his face swelled slightly and was bright red. The beach at night to watch the water parade was swarming with whatever flying bugs they were and people were running covering up with towels to get away. We picked up the refillable mugs and made good use of them. My ds went to the kids club for about 1 hour one night and he just loved it! Playstation heaven! There were only 2 other children to the 3 caretakers. My ds could have stayed there for hours! The Lodge and the Villas are breathtaking. Transportation was never a problem. All in all our first trip Home was very relaxing as I see now one of the joys of DVC ownership is that you can just chill, relax and really enjoy a vacation because you know you will be coming back!
 
What a wonderful 1000th post! Sounds like you had a marvelous first trip "home"!
 
Glad you had such a nice trip. We love VWL for all of the reasons you cited too. Did you check out the nature trail?
 
Thanks for the report. We'll be there soon and can hardly wait!

Glad you had so much fun!
 

Now that's the kind of trip report we like! I'm glad you and your family had such a good time. Sorry about the bug bites.

Hi,

Thanks for sharing! Glad you are having a great time!!!
 
Glad to hear your trip was great. We make our first trip to VWL in Jan. We are very excited to try out some new DVC digs! :earsgirl:
 
Also glad to hear good response from VWL. Our first trip is Oct 1. Cant wait
 
Our home resort is VWL. Glad to hear you enjoyed it so much. It is a very relaxing place. You did the right thing the first trip...by taking it easy and realizing you WILL be coming back. We made the mistake of still commando touring on our first trip as owners so it didnt make for a very pleasant trip. One the hidden perks of belonging to DVC is you can relax at WDW because you will be returning.
 
Congratulations on your 1000th post! I'm glad to hear you had a great trip.

Other than the bugs..........how were the FROGS???? :rotfl: :rotfl:

I have tried to totally convice myself that they weren't really "real" frogs...just piped in sounds of "Disney" frogs! :rolleyes:
