What a beautiful view

 

[Deesknee]

What a beautiful view. I hope things work out so Bill is able to enjoy it as well. The brownie cheesecake looks so yummy, DH and I are thinking about adding it to our DP! (I wanted to in the first place. DH was leery about the brownie crust.... until he just saw your picture. Thanks!

The view is beautiful. We will be staying there for a couple of nights in Nov. We didn't get BW view. Now I wish we did.

Looking forward to reading more.

And you have every right to stare at that beautiful ring. I hope you always enjoy in the same way.

Oh my goodness such an amazing view! I knew Boardwalk was on my list of resorts I want to try and this has solidified it! Can't wait to hear more!

 

[tazdev3225]

What a wonderful view. I get to go to the Jersey shore quite a bit and the boardwalk at Disney really reminds me of the ones there.

Sitting on the balcony and seeing SE and Illuminations, WOW!!! I hope they were able to work something out so that Bill was able to enjoy it too.

 

[ddstratton]

Gorgeous view! Hopefully they were able to help you out, and Bill got a chance to enjoy the view as well. Loved your dinner at the Grand Floridian as well. (thought I had posted about that, but I guess not...) Bill is such a sweetie!!

 

[Tinker_Tam]

What a great update!! The Boardwalk just looks amazing!! I can't believe we never ventured to the boardwalk area on our trip. If we ever make it back, that is high on my list of places to see.

Do tell me though, does Boardwalk Bakery sell CARROT CAKE???

 

[reelmom]

That view was gorgeous! I hope they are able to do something about the balcony.

 

[mrsksomeday]

Enjoying your TR!

Thanks for reading and posting!!

Glad the check in went better for you! What an amazing view! Can't wait to read more and feed my Disney craving. (thanks for your kind words about Maliah!)

I was happy about that too.

Great update and pics. Looks like a nice resort. Too bad about the non accessible room.

We love the Boardwalk area.

yea, another update! your pictures are so good. my dad was in a wheelchair with the locking bolt on the bottom. it does limit access in some cases but well worth it when he rode in his van. i hope they figure out something about the balcony.

thanks for sharing.

Thanks for being here . Yes, that lock does make things harder from time to time. It also helps Bill make his mark all over Walt Disney World.

How did you like the brownie cheesecake?

I liked it a lot.

Wow...what a great view! That brownie looks amazing!!

The view was fantastic, the brownie was great!

What an amazing view! And the brownie cheesecake is one of my favs.

I was so happy with the view.

great pics!

I really wanted to try the Boardwalk for our December trip but it's all sold out

You have a great view! I hope Bill is able to get out and enjoy it as well!

The brownie cheesecake looks delicious!

We booked the BWV's 11 months out, we knew it would be hard to get otherwise, it was so worth it!!

What a beautiful view

it was great, I was so amazed I could sit on the sofa and see Spaceship Earth.

He needs to give that cheesecake brownie a try . We have had standard view at BWV before and still loved our time there, but we like Boardwalk view better.

Oh my goodness such an amazing view! I knew Boardwalk was on my list of resorts I want to try and this has solidified it! Can't wait to hear more!

It was great!

Sitting on the balcony and seeing SE and Illuminations, WOW!!! I hope they were able to work something out so that Bill was able to enjoy it too.

Bill and I are usually park closers, using the room to shower and sleep, but not on this trip we loved spending time at the resort and in the room.

Gorgeous view! Hopefully they were able to help you out, and Bill got a chance to enjoy the view as well. Loved your dinner at the Grand Floridian as well. (thought I had posted about that, but I guess not...) Bill is such a sweetie!!

The view was amazing and I agree about Bill being a sweetie .

What a great update!! The Boardwalk just looks amazing!! I can't believe we never ventured to the boardwalk area on our trip. If we ever make it back, that is high on my list of places to see.

Do tell me though, does Boardwalk Bakery sell CARROT CAKE???

You need to go there on your next trip, there will be a next trip someday, you have to "just believe" . Yes, the Boardwalk Bakery had CARROT CAKE!!!

That view was gorgeous! I hope they are able to do something about the balcony.

I love looking at the pictures from our trip, we were so lucky to get the view we had.

 

[jenseib]

I love this picture!! So pretty!!

You had a preemo room with that view. I do agree, a lot of the deluxe/DVC resorts have the ugliest bed spreads. Get rid of the granny floral prints!

We were so happy with the view. I hope they update those bed coverings soon.

I will have you know that I am completely caught up!! ABout darn time, I know... Please don't hate me...

I love the private dinner! I was ugly crying with you that night when I got the picture messages!! ANd I totally know what you mean about you go on about your day but every time it catches your eye, it's "Ooohhh, sparky!!" I do that every time my wedding ring gets cleaned. Mine has been in the shop being repaired (I took a chunk out of my wall and scratched the ring up pretty bad. But on the plus side, the ring saved my pinky from being broken, it's just bruised and sprained says the Dr.)

I also loved the picture of Bill in front of MY funnel cake stand... What I DON'T love is the look on his face with that grin like "I am here and you are not, NO FUNNEL CAKE FOR YOU!!" Quick way to get pushed into the lake there Billy!!

Now that I am caught up, I promise to REALLY try to stay that way. You know that life has been hectic, and I hope that changes soon... Wish me luck!

 

[DisMomAmy]

I love, love, love your amazing view!! We have a garden or pool view booked for our girls trip this fall. We wanted standard or boardwalk... couldn't get either. Oh well...

I was thinking the same thing about the bedspreads the other day. I'm pretty sure they are different in the studios than the 1BRs. At least I don't remember them from our 1BR last November.

Anxiously waiting to hear if housekeeping came up with a decent solution to get Bill out on that gorgeous balcony!

 

[Rozz]

Now that's a balcony! Sounds like you've got a plan for dealing with the high door frame edge.

Keep admiring that beautiful ring but watch out when you're in the sunlight so you don't get blinded by sparkle beams!

 

[eandesmom]

How wonderful that the move went so smoothly and you had such a great location! I hope they are able to help get Bill out on the balcony!

 

[mrsksomeday]

I will have you know that I am completely caught up!! ABout darn time, I know... Please don't hate me...

I will forgive you... this time!!

But on the plus side, the ring saved my pinky from being broken, it's just bruised and sprained says the Dr.)

Ouch, that sounds painful.

I also loved the picture of Bill in front of MY funnel cake stand... What I DON'T love is the look on his face with that grin like "I am here and you are not, NO FUNNEL CAKE FOR YOU!!" Quick way to get pushed into the lake there Billy!!

He says you have to be in WDW with us to be able to push him in.

Now that I am caught up, I promise to REALLY try to stay that way. You know that life has been hectic, and I hope that changes soon... Wish me luck!

I know you have been very busy, its ok.

I love, love, love your amazing view!! We have a garden or pool view booked for our girls trip this fall. We wanted standard or boardwalk... couldn't get either. Oh well...

We had pool view in December at the BWV, it was pretty we could see the creepy clown . They need to upgrade the studios then .

Now that's a balcony! Sounds like you've got a plan for dealing with the high door frame edge.

Keep admiring that beautiful ring but watch out when you're in the sunlight so you don't get blinded by sparkle beams!

We loved, loved, loved that balcony!!

How wonderful that the move went so smoothly and you had such a great location! I hope they are able to help get Bill out on the balcony!

I was so happy that check in went great and the room was ready.

Just found your report. I love it so far and can not wait to hear more. How nice was your surprise at dinner. It brought tears to my eyes you can feel the love you two have for each other in your words. Quite inspiring

Wow what a difference a day makes, look at the view we had when we got up:

There is that blue Florida sky Bill and I both love.

You can see Spaceship Earth a little better in this picture:

A couple more shots before we leave for the day:

I always think of Brookelizabeth every time I see these chairs:

The view on the way to the bus stop:

Hello Gorgeous!!!

We decided to hop on the train to do a couple things in Frontierland, then we were going to go back on and see Storybook Circus.The trains can only take 2 accessible vehicles at one time for safety reasons. We weren’t able to get on the first train that pulled up, but it wasn’t long until another one came.

Frontierland was PACKED!! Since it was getting very hot that day I guess everyone wanted a ride on Splash Mountain.

We had very specific things we wanted to do today so we went to Adventureland first:

Bill looked shocked because when I was weaving through the crowd because I turned around suddenly and took this picture.

I was more than a little aggravated. That had been the third time this trip I had been hit by a rolling backpack/cooler/luggage. They state clearly on their website that WDW doesn’t allow these in the parks, but I was hit in two different parks.

We made our way to the Enchanted Tiki Birds. We had never seen this version. While we waited for the next show, I took some pictures:

We were allowed inside and I started snapping away.

It was almost time for the Captain Jack Sparrow Pirate Tutorial when we left the Tiki Birds. We had never seen it so thought we would check it out. If you haven’t seen it, the stage is right across from the Pirates of the Caribbean in direct full sun in the afternoon. Bill pulled up by the stage and waited:

First off one of Jack’s crew comes out:

Then Jack shows up:
