Muushka..feel better soon...maybe it means you won't be dizzy on the cruise!

 

[Muushka]

Maybe I won't be dizzy for the cruise!! That would be nice!
Thanks for the well wishes.

Eliza, good luck with 'the boys'.

Hey Muushka. Bonine is MY friend too! We start taking it several days before a cruise, take it every morning on the cruise, and take it for several days after. Both DH and I are prone to motion sickness (he more than me - he usually has that dizziness trouble after the cruise).

Hope you have smooth sailing and have a great time!

 

[Laxmom]

I swear by that stuff!!! We took it on ours a couple of weeks ago when we were chased by Hanna and it worked like a charm!!

Now that the power is back here, I need to concentrate on getting my little moose man in my signature!!!

I'm heading to the scrapbook store to get stuff to scrap our trip. I may have pages and pages of VWL!!!! Almost as many as the cruise!!

Howdy Ho Groupies. I'm back from my first trip as a DVC member. We had a great time. We love the studio. Its really cozy and and Villas themselves are more lodge like than the Lodge next door itself. We were really surprised with how much we loved it. I had no problems making the bed at all. The wife was fine with the towels she had. We went commando style the first 3 days and then relaxed the last 3 days. The crowds were light most of the time. It was hotter and more humid than past Septembers for me but it was a great time none the less.

Sadly yes, although at times I'm tempted to run away. The old guy works in the petroleum industry and every time a stupid hurricane affects one of the off shore rigs, he gets shipped off to Texas.

That's so sad. More than anything, I hate being away from DW. So I hope they ship your DH back soonest!

 

[Muushka]

Yes, Bonine is my friend on cruises also. I can't believe how much it helps me.

Welcome home from your first DVC trip! It sounds like you had a great time. I find it really hard to do commando in the heat. It is so not pretty (I get very grumpy). We are headed down this weekend, glad to hear that the crowds are light!

So, any magical moments???

I really hope your wife sees this.

Thanks for checking back in with us. And very happy to hear that your first DVC trip was a "magical" one!

So...what room/view did you have? And isn't it surprising how quickly we all adjust to not having the daily maid service?

We appreciate you letting us know your impressions.

Okay Groupies...I have to admit I've been a bit naughty on another thread.


The question of the thread is: "Who wants to stay at BLT "one day" but has no desire to own there??"

Here is my response .

 

[DiznyDi]

Great response Granny!

Granny! You, sir, ROCK!!!!!

 

[ransom]

Nicely done, Granny.

 

[bgraham34]

I had room 3505. It was nice and I saw a little bit of the pool. I would take that room at every trip.

As far as Magical Moments I did not get any. I saw them all over the place in MK but the other parks I barely saw anything.

I also want to say that the front desk staff was great. Always helpful they are. I ran into a a family who was staying at the Lodge on points and they were very impressed with the Villas. I hope they decide to buy into the club.

 

[Laxmom]

Granny, you crack me up!!! But that is exactly how I feel!!

I have a question, groupies! Somewhere a while back about a Yankee candle that smelled like the Lodge. It has been discontinued but some reported having luck finding it on Ebay. What was it called?

I forgot to tell you about our WL bathroom. After our last visit, I faux painted log walls, put up an evergreen wreath, a plaid shower curtain and a replica of the totem pole. If I can find the candle, I could lock myself in my own little getaway!!

Oh man, as if the ladies don't already spend enough time in the bathroom!

Hey, it's possible to love VWL (like I do) and also love BLT!

 

[Laxmom]

That's very true, Mike. It just isn't for me. I don't like modernism much. Give me a log cabin and that is where I am most at home. The views will be killer though!!

 

[Muushka]

Oh my, I just saw the interiors of BLT. I can see me staying there, requesting a Lake view and looking, longingly over at our beloved Wilderness Lodge.

Granny! We think alike! Except I kept these thoughts to this thread .

 

[Granny]

Okay, true confession time. I agree with Mike!

Looking at the 360 degree views I think BLT is an outstanding looking resort. The decor is stylish yet should wear well through the years. I love the floor to ceiling windows in the living room and all in all it seems to be a pretty neat place. And yes, the views of Bay Lake or MK would be pretty spectacular.

I don't see us buying there, but hopefully will book a stay at some point. The high point schedule for MK View will probably scare us away but Lake View will provide a great view of our favorite lake.

I think they hit a home run with BLT, and this coming from someone who doesn't care much for the Contemporary Resort at all.

Walking distance to MK and a monorail to EPCOT? I think this resort might have just one-upped the BWV/BCV resort locations. Don't flame me...I own at BWV and have no regrets at all but I think BLT will be a very high demand resort.
