Great Picts, What kind of camera do you have?

Thanks for the photos and updates.

These posts aren't making our wait any easier to take, but thanks for posting them anyway.

Can't wait to see the place ourselves.

Nothing fancy. It's an Olympus Stylus 730 (7.1 megapixel).

It sounds like you are having a wonderful time Mike. Thanks so much for all the pictures. They are absolutely incredible.

how do I miss this one?

thanks mike.

how did you like you BWV 1-bedroom - was everything in working order, was everything clean?

now silly questions - why BWV and BCV in one trip - why not BWV and VWL - or AKV - I know you own at all of them.

so why only stay in the epcot area - yea I know wine/food - but hey MK has MNSSHP - so VWL would work too.

oh bad - everyone vacations differently!

Our 1-BR at BWV was clean and everything was in working order. While we were there, Disney was steam cleaning the hallway carpets and re-finishing the wood flooring in the common areas.

Our 1-BR at BCV is smaller in size and, of course, doesn't have as nice a view. It too is clean and everything is in proper working condition.

We like to be at VWL when the weather is cooler (we'll be at VWL in just 43 days!), and we like BWV/BCV when it's warmer. We were at AKV this past March.

Spent the morning at DTD. Ate lunch at the Earl of Sandwich.

Stopped by and talked to Art the Greeter in the Beach Club lobby. He is doing fine.

I just love seeing pics of Art. He is such a sweet, sweet man!


Two straight nights of Yachtsman? YUM!

 

[kmermaid]

So happy to see Art back, he was away when we were there earlier this month!

 

[DVC Mike]

Last night's dinner at Rose & Crown was so-so. British food is just too bland.

I called WDW Dining this morning and made our reservations for our March 2009 trip. Booked some favorites and a couple new places.

We have dinner at Jiko tonight. I can't wait to see in person how Kidani Village has progressed since we were last there!

Nice stuff Mike, excellent photos. Mike is my DVC hero. He's got more points than Carter has little pills!

 

[DVC Mike]

Spent 5 hours enjoying Stormalong Bay today. Had a nice lunch at Beaches and Cream. We will be spending the entire day at the resort, except for tonight when we have dinner at Jiko.
