Good Evening my fellow citizens of Walt Disney World.
The time has come to begin a pre-trip report for our Upcoming Copper Creek Grand Villa Stay!
Who: Me, CastleCryer- (my wife Kelly who always cries when she sees the Castle at MK, our princess (7 (going on 30)), The MIL-doesn't love Disney but loves us, and the Aunt and Uncle in Law (Who don't love Disney, but love us.) Friends and Kids from Winter Garden, and My Mom.
Other pictures coming as soon as I convert them out of HEIC. Apple tax, don'tcha know?
Well, here is our DVC Story...We used to live in St. Petersburg, FL...But now we live in the middle of Nebraska. We love it, but we miss WDW. So on a business trip to Orlando, we bought DVC. Big Time...Like 450 Copper Creek Points, big time. I know, I know. Spare me. We love it and we are happy to part with a large part of our paycheck until it is paid off. We are looking toward retirement and snowbirding. But for now, the Kingdom is ours. So, we strung together 3 use years of points for 8 days with family at a Grand Villa at Copper Creek. We love it there. We honeymooned in a log cabin in Nashville, Indiana. We took our first trip to Disney with our Princess at the Wilderness Lodge, where she got hurt and the Cast Members were amazing. We first went on the DVC tour 10 years ago. There was no pressure, and when we bought, we found out that our original DVC sales rep is now promoted to managing the whole enchilada. Mike Caruana is our current rep for DVC sales, and he is awesome.
Now you have the "Who"
Here is the "what": An 8 night trip at Copper Creek Grand Villa. Celebration of finishing doctoral studies. Anniversary, Birthdays, Christmas-all combined. We gave up those things to buy DVC. For us, it is worth it. Your mileage may vary.
Before this Covid-19 mess got started, we had amazing plans. But now, they will be what they will be. We hope to have our whole group in for Moonlight Magic on October 6 at Hollywood Studios. We shall see.
In the meantime, we have made the adjustment to fly, instead of drive, and take much of our food with us from home. We are looking forward to awesome meals in the villa and a night out a Bluezoo. We love it there (the Asian Lobster for 2 is to die for).
When: October 6-14, 2020
Where: Home at Copper Creek in a 3-Bedroom Grand Villa.
Why: Because it is Disney.
How: Through the generosity of many people who love us.
I invite you to take this magic carpet ride with us.
See ya' real soon!

Congratulations to you and your wife on completing your doctorate, and the fun purchase. How wonderful you get to start it off with a big family get-together.
is changing a bit. DW's aunt and uncle have asked us to make plans without them, and they will make a decision later. The health restrictions concern everyone to varying degrees, and I will respect their opinion to stay home or come. I did worry for a bit about how many points we spent on a 3 bedroom villa. Then I thought-it will be awesome whether four of us are there or six of us are there.
