We have a beautiful view.


We can't wait for fireworks tonight!

Now we are having dinner at Roaring Fork.


We also got our construction pins.

Wonderful view. It probably looks better in person.

We can't wait for fireworks tonight!

You'll have a great view of them

Now we are having dinner at Roaring Fork.

It looks half empty.

We also got our construction pins.

I love those pins. My husband still has the pins on his dresser in the original card.

Awesome view, sure can't beat that! Hope you enjoyed the fireworks.

I see you have the new handle-less resort mugs. Not sure on the reason for that change, besides saving a few pennies in production.

We did enjoy the fireworks, but we saw them from the front of MK since we took a boat over there instead of staying in the room. We will catch them from the room sometime.

The mugs are all handle-less. The one plus is they fit nicer in a cup holder. Also you never have to adjust how the lid is twisted to match the handle... Oh well, I still love my mug refills.

It sounds like a wonderful way to end your day.

Do you miss the lobby view?

Our perfect room location would be a bear face room, but given the current construction situation the lobby view isn't quite as neat with those elevators closed, since you still have to walk down a boring hallway, and it would be a pretty long walk from the Roaring Fork elevators.

For this trip at this time, we think it is a great combination of balcony view and distance to the elevators.

From your pictures I am guessing that your room is in a very convenient location.

Yes indeed, it is wonderful. The walk to the elevators is short, and access to Roaring Fork is quick. Seeing the castle out the window all the time is pretty darn cool too.

We are waiting at the airport to fly home. We had an awesome trip and can't wait to write all about it. We will post back here once we start our trip report.


We have a ton of pictures to share and lots to write about. We hope you'll follow along.

I hope you have a good trip home. Your pictures of the lodge have been beautiful. I can't wait to hear all about your trip.

Happy Birthday to Allie one day early.

Aww, thank you so much. We are on the plane now after a bit of a lightning delay at MCO.

Poor Allie has to have her birthday on the first day back, but she had a lot of fun leading up to it.

There you are and there you go! Your thread title really does need to change from PTR

You're in the air now, so it won't be too long before you're home or do you have a TX stopover? The dogs will be so excited to see you and it'll feel 3 hours later than it is

Does Allie have to go to school tomorrow?

Looking forward to your many photos and trip details. And, most importantly, finding out when and where your next WDW trip will be!

Now we are back home, which is sad compared to being in Disney, but there is one bright spot:

We have started our Trip Report! For more photos and lots of details be sure to check it out as we re-live our trip and share lots of the 6000+ pictures we took.
