We actually arrived to the VWL on Sunday, but this is the first I'm online. This is our first time staying here and we are :lovestruc IN LOVE:lovestruc ! We both said we want to sell our SSR and buy a resale here (maybe we'll just do an add-on, you can never have too many points, right? :laughing:)

We stayed at POP on Fri and Sat nights, never again! We were never more happy to hear "Welcome Home" then we were on Sunday morning. Our villa was ready when we checked in, but it was quite early (around 9:30 am). We got checked in and then went and had breakfast at the Whispering Canyon. After that we headed to Epcot for some fun. The crowds there weren't too bad, my daughter got to ride test track twice, so she was happy and therefore we were all happy. They told me call back in a couple hours to see if our room was assigned and when I called at 2pm, they were able to tell us our room number. We had an early dinner resesrvation at Biergarten so we ate and then headed back to our villa so DH could watch the Superbowl (we're originally from NJ, so YAY GIANTS!).

We're in a one bedroom - number 3508. Everything was nice and clean and in working order when we got in. We didn't do anything Sunday night but watch the game. the kids fell asleep relatively early, so it was a nice relaxing night.

On Monday, we used the pools. It wasn't too crowded and the kids had a blast. Not much else to report, other than the water was great!

Yesterday, my daughter had her BBB appointment and got to be a beautiful Princess and we spent about 1 hour at MK. She has a Belle dress that her Grammy bought for her for Christmas. We went back to our villa to relax for a couple hours until our reservation at Liberty Tree Tavern and the P&P party. We had a wonderful dinner, the Character interaction there was great! The party was a lot of fun and my daughter had a wonderful encounter with Belle at Belle's storytime.

Today we're going to relax in the morning and not sure where we're heading this afternoon.
 
Glad you're having a good time. We've only been there once, but we really love the national parks and VWL really has that feel.
 
isn't the boat to the MK the best thing ever after a long day in the park?:thumbsup2 sure makes going back to the room for a break easy.
 
I really smiled when I read that if your DD is happy, you are as well!

We love VWL, and I'm glad you're having a great time there.

Glad to hear you are enjoying yourself at VWL. It's one of our favorite resorts!
 
Great resort. Folks who own there are lucky. I can see why the OP wants to own there. Only stayed one time and then only for 1 day, but I too hold this repsort in very high regard. Being able to get to the MK by boat is wonderful. To me that is what is so great about DVC, being so close to the parks.
 
We just stayed there for the first time Jan 17-22 after a 4 night Disney cruise and LOVED it! I don't think we'll ever stay at AK Villas because its so nice to be so close to MK where we spend most of our time.

Add me to the "I wish I could buy at WL" list!

What a thoughtful thing to say. I like your style :thumbsup2 .

hrsmom,

Why don't you come join the VWL groupies on our thread!

Deb

Yes! And whoever else on this thread who has a special place in their hearts for VWL.
And grab a Moosie Siggy! Can't have too many Groupies!
 
Hey neighbor, we just left this morning from down the hall in 3550! What a beautiful place..
 
We just stayed this past weekend for the first time and absolutely loved it ! We had pool-hopped one afternoon last year and weren't really impressed but decided to try it anyway. We live in Canada so the wilderness feel isn't really a novelty to us. Somehow that didn't matter. We loved it from the first moment we opened our room door (ready for us at 11:08 am ! - probably doesn't happen often but we were thankful). The quiet pool was great during the day. The kids enjoyed the big pool after dark when it was quiet. We biked to Fort Wilderness and watched the Electric Light parade over the water at night. Our teenagers bought breakfast supplies from the mercantile and they made breakfast for us each morning. Just wish that we had more time to stay but we will surely try to get in again.

We love the spa at SSR and the closeness to DTD but VWL is a new favourite as well.

Owners can count themselves as very fortunate to spend their Christmases in this very beautiful 'home' !!

We do :santa: . This past Christmas was our first 'at our VWL home'.
 
My wife and I will be staying 4 nights 02/24 - 02/27 . Can't wait. We stayed at the WL a few years ago with the kids but that was before the villas. Glad you had a good time..smjj
 
Good to hear you're having a great time at VWL, we love it too:)
 
We got home last night from our wonderful trip. I thought I'd share a few pictures with you all. (Don't mind any messiness you see in the villa ;) ):

This was a first for me at Disney. While we were at Epcot there was a skywriter in the air. He definitely had a message:

Great pics! Thank you for sharing with all of us.
 
I really enjoyed your report AND the great pics. Loved the look of the villa and your kids are adorable too.

Question for you......How far is the walk from the villas to the boat dock and bus stop??? (Curious for three sets of little legs)!
