First off, Derek!!! Welcome to the DISBoards!!!! Beware! We have way too much fun here!

All&OfUs (from All5ofUS), I totally agree, dangerously addicting. Tried to avoid DIS since Wendy and Jordy are always on. Too little time and too much to do with 3 wee ones.

Thanks for the welcome. Only 7 more posts (i.e., after the first 10) before I'm allowed to post links.....wonder why they have these strange moderation rules.

What Liesa said. Welcome Derek! I didn't even realize that was your first post.

GB - funny....yeah, I think Wendy gave him access to my MobileMe photo gallery which allows him to download my photos. I'll have to cut him off from access (even though he's family). His hacker name is probably "JediJordy" or "PopCenturyPooper"

PopCenturyPooper! That's awesome. You're going to fit right in around here.

Thanks Liesa. I'm getting the hang of this. Had to get on to check out what's being said (and posted) on my behalf w/o my knowledge. Before we met fellow DISers this past trip to WDW, I thought it wasn't for me but now I'm hooked! Thanks for the welcome as well.

We have a busy day taking me, Erin and Dylan for eye exam at Uncle Kent's (family friend who is an optometrist) and then off to church to hammer framing for homes being trucked to Mexico.......if I ever make it past the 10 thread post requirement, I'll try to post photos.

Laters,
Derek

Have a great day Derek! Looking forward to seeing your photos!

Yeay! Wendy, Derek, and the kids have arrived!!! Everyone looks so excited!!!

BLT is so pretty! I love the sleek, modern look of everything.

I really enjoyed BLT..one bad thing is it's very hard to get in and out of. You need a room key to get in the building making access hard. Very late in the game I discovered they keep the front entry unlocked-mostly for new guests checking in

Gorgeous room! Very elegant and modern.

It was nice. I wasn't fond of the couch. It was weird.

I can personally tell you the rooms were spaciuos !! Wendy counted out how many could sleep !! With 2 bedrooms 6 with the sofa sleeper 8 and then she counted lots of floor space !!

I think it's actually nine with the sleeper chair.

Jordy, you know us (or me), being a Starwood Westin regular, BLT was much nicer (even better than our Westin stays) but I agree with Kim that BCV is way more convenient and I missed the direct access to Epcot.

BTW, how'd you get access to our photos? Glad you liked my pics....but Wendy checked in and not me (I was taking the pics).

I was wondering when you'd start posting....

Wendy gave me access to her photobucket account since she doesn't have time to post updates. That way the Trip Report can stay chronological. However if you want to do the updates that's fine. We'll just have to coordinate a bit to stay on the same day of the trip.

Great update Jordan! Love all the photos.


Has Jordy become a hacker? It's always the one's you least expect.
I bet your hacker name is something cool like "ChonieShadow" or "JediMasterJoda" or maybe "BinderBandit".

I am not a hacker...not that smart.

GB, must be one of those Asian, "jodans" or something.

Thanks for being the welcome wagon.

I'm busy today as well...got 2 meetings. One this morning and one today as well as a few hours of paperwork to do..

Have a great day Derek! Looking forward to seeing your photos!

shall I post them?

 

[PopArtGal]

Funny that you leave a plastic cup out for your change. We do too. Makes it easier for vending machines at night when we don't feel like walking to the food court.

(Yep, I'm back and reading lol)

 

[eandesmom]

first of all
Derek!

His hacker name is probably "JediJordy" or "PopCenturyPooper"

I'm thinking it's the second....

Hmmn...maybe my DH will make the jump one of these days, now THAT would be interesting! DISmeets is all it took huh?

9 according to the website. It looks SOOOO spacious! Not loving the TV cabinetry at all but I like the rest of it quite a bit. I would really like to stay there one of these days. It could happen for Peepfest but there are others ahead of it on the list for that particular trip. A little surprised that since it's a monorail hotel people still preferred the direct access to Epcot at BCV. That's interesting.

I have heard that on the access.

The BLT rooms looked lovely, I saw the DVC model and it was by far my favourite decor, very stylish

 

[Señor DonDuck]

The room looks really nice. I was surprised it even had a large laundry room. Odd that they lock the doors to the building entry.

Can't help but think of the sandwich when I hear BLT, though. Mmmmmmm, bacon.

I'm glad we didn't push you in the opposite direction!

 

[glennbo123]

Thanks for posting the BLT pictures Jordan (and Wendy and Derek). I wasn't real keen on BLT either until we took the tour last summer, and then I had to summon some self-control to keep from adding-on points there. I think it's nicer in person than in pictures for some reason.

Welcome to the disboards Derek! You're posting like a madman....soon you'll have "veteran" status. Thanks for sharing your trip with us.

 

[Brenle]

Great photos Derek/Jordan. Cute as a button kids. Liked the room. Looking forward to the baclony photos and of the pool (if you have any). Hoping to stay there in Novemeber instead of SSR. Not huge fans of the modern/sleek lines but love the location of BLT!

 

[punkin413]

LOVE the look of BLT! i really want to stay there one day. i can't afford a MK view but that doesn't really bother me....the decor is just so classy. love it!

and wendy, as always, your kids are just adorable!

Welcome, Derek!

You and Wendy have some super-cute kiddos!

Thanks, Jordan, for all the room pix... you know we love 'em!

Wendy and Derek your kids are such dolls. Love the pictures of BLT. Very sleek.

Welcome Derek you're going to have a blast here.

Unfortunately, we were too late to help out with hammering house frames being trucked to Mexico but I put in some hard labor anyway, working on landscaping in the front yard before the rain hit in LA.

Thanks everyone for the compliments about the kiddies...they must have gotten Wendy's genes.

The fail proof way of doing it, you have to re-install the games and remove the documents/pictures, etc. onto an external hard drive or something until the upgrade was complete, then reload them onto the laptop...

A lot of times windows will allow you to format on top of another windows and keep all your stuff, but we have run into issues with our desktop where we ending up having to do a whole reformat to do an upgrade...

Okay. Makes sense.

It was a crazy week! I am SO tired.

I'll bet. Thanks for the picture update. replying from my new phone. Its tricky. Lol
