Hi,
I'm home, hated to leave the Lodge and BWV, but one must return to the REAL WORLD, We had a great time and a marathon dinner at WCC Friday night...our server Tiny was a hoot and all the children had a great time. (adults also)
I didn't have a refrigerator in either room, but I have to admit I didn't remember to ask about the placement status...I had five children ages 11-5 so I was in a state of shock most of the time.
The pool slide was repaired and everyone had a great time using it.
The Lodge did lose some trees, but over all looked good. A few of the Bear Face rooms now will have a better view of the Lake as several of the large beautiful trees next to the Lobby where lost. The North side of the building (woods view) also lost some trees...so more views of the castle will be seen. The water levels of Bay Lake were way up the beach area if front of the play ground was under water, (our favorite area to watch EWP) but will return to normal in a few weeks.
The first part of the week-end was stressful, because everyone was nervous that
Hurricane Ivan would visit. All the storm preparations where being done (very low-keyed) All the lanterns where still tied down. I was so glad Central Florida was spared yet another blow, you could tell which trees where effected by Charlie they where all bent one direction all the trees effected by Frances where leaning in the other direction. Blue tarps were covering many roofs on the drive in toward WDW but other then a few signs and landscaping WDW showed no damage.
I now have my Christmas timer added and can't wait to visit next in November for the International Food and Wine Festival. (NO CHILDREN)

I would recommend a room on one of the higher floors (5th or 6th) and towards the end of the wings. I am pretty sure that the end of the North wing on the 5th or 6th floor is smoking (someone want to clarify that??? I can't believe I don't remember...) so if that's not for you, I would recommend south wing towards the end. If you want REAL quiet request a view of the Villas pool. It's nice and peaceful sitting on the balcony. Not much of a water view but nice.
