First off, let me start by saying that this was our second stay at the THV's. Our first trip, we stayed in 7030, which when you look at the map, it is the lowest one (on water), near bus stop, pool, walkway to grandstand. We loved this so much, we requested it again. Yes, a request is just a request.
We were so happy to get to the airport (Syracuse) and find out that our direct flight was the only one not canceled due to JFK closing down due to the weather.....oh ya!
THANK YOU JET BLUE!
We got on the ME bus, and it was only about 1/3 filled and it left after we got on......Yeah things are going good! We checked in at 11:00am and were told that our treehouse was not ready, but would get the text when it was. She circled the area from 7030 to 7039, so of course I assumed we would be getting 7039, which wasn't quite where we wanted! We checked our bags at bell services, ate lunch and headed to EPCOT. It was too cold to go swimming (high of 58 that day, brrrr) but still warmer than home.
I called the phone # about 3:00 and was told that our villa would be ready in the next 1/2 hour to 45 minutes and if we didn't hear back, give another call. At 3:45 we received the text. Villa 7039. It looked pretty far from where we wanted to be on the map, but it really wasn't that far.
We headed back to bell services, got our checked bags and hooked a ride with the bellman to our villa...Yeah! So this trip it was just the four of us: DH, DS13, DD11, and myself. The bellman commented that there were only four of us, and we laughed. Have I told you that we LOVE this resort!?
Our ME bags were already in the room. At first we were apprehensive because we really wanted 7030, but found that we loved the location. We were on the edge of the fairway, and at times it was a little scary when golfers would hit the ball (I could hear it in the trees around me!)
Everything was pretty good in the room. Had to have someone come to check out the internet, and there was a random black dress sock left under the desk, but other than that no issues. The THV still looks new! No issues with subpar furnishings as others have complained about at BLT (We've never stayed there, so no flaming please!)
So, we unpacked, got settled and got set for our ADR at LeCellier! Now when we checked in, the woman did not mention anything about the road construction or shuttle vans picking you up at the south bus stop instead of the buses, so were we shocked when we saw the shuttle van with THV shuttle on the side. We were a little apprehensive to get in at first, but soon realized this was the way to go.
Due to the construction, they ran the bus only at the north bus stop and two shuttles that served both north and south stops then to Springs then to grandstand. We never rent a car, so our rule of thumb is, if the bus/shuttle is there, we will take it. If not, we wait literally about 10 seconds then walk to the grandstand. This time, the shuttle was there, so we took it to the Springs then off to EPCOT!

Question, the shower in the master bath, is that right outside the tub like it looks, or part of the tub? Just wondering. Keep the info coming, Love reading about these THV's!!
