What have I done?!!!
Right, here we go. We had stayed at the Lodge before and loved it so when we bought into DVC in 2005 we knew we would have to try the Villas.
Check in was very efficient and fast. We received a 1-bedroom we requested (top floor and water view). The standard of decor, furnishings and cleanliness was excellent. (a pity the BCV did not have the same standards for our second part of the holiday). Housekeeping was very good and unobtrusive. Artist Point was great (as always for us) and Whispering Canyon was as noisy as ever! The Villas pool was quiet when we used it. Transportation was very efficient. We loved the 8 days. Maybe it was so good that we were bound to be slightly disappointed with BCV, but that's another story.

Yeah...go post that BCV stuff somewhere else!

Seriously, you sound a lot like us in that we really, really enjoyed WL a couple times so when Disney built VWL, it was really a no-brainer for us to buy there. Glad to see that your enjoyment of the Lodge extended to your enjoyment of VWL as well.

Thanks, I needed that!

All kidding aside, glad you had a good time at VWL. And thanks for sharing (even if it was under duress!)

I'm still trying to cope with being back home from the Lodge......back to work and normal routines....it's tough as you all know.
I got together some pics from our most recent stay at the main Lodge Aug 4-8 and made a little slide show. We were upgraded from a standard view to a Villas side courtyard view on the 5th floor (we had a view of Bay Lake from our balcony !). I was just beaming at check-in. And our room was ready by 10 am'ish !

Hope u all enjoy it. (oh...PS--make sure your sound is "on" because I added music)

 

[MiaSRN62]

Just wanted to say welcome to the group Christopher ! So glad to hear you had a wonderful first stay.....here's to many more.........

 

[jimmytammy]

Great pictures!! I got goosebumps and homesick all at the same time.

 

[MiaSRN62]

Thanks Jimmytammy ! I'm glad you liked the slideshow.

 

[Granny]

Maria...thanks for the morning booster shot of Moose Dust! Great pictures (and music) and it sounds like you got a nice room upgrade. Maybe Disney is still trying to make up for that BWV Preferred View room they gave you that one time!

Well done!

 

[Muushka]

Thanks, Maria. Just what the doctor ordered. I loved all the pictures . But one, THE SNAKE!!!

 

[DISNEY FIX]

DisneyFix :AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

You're welcome.....glad to help when I can...........

Maybe Disney is still trying to make up for that BWV Preferred View room they gave you that one time!

Hadn't even thought of that Granny ! If that's the case....then I must admit, my WL view a few weeks ago, put my BWV view right out of mind..........it's a distant memory now......

I loved all the pictures . But one, THE SNAKE!!!

Thanks !
Sorry Muushka....just had to add that little fella. Just goes to show you never know what will turn up at the WL !

Thanks for the great pictures and music Maria! I can't say I've ever noticed the topiary geese before.

Thanks for the great pictures and music Maria! I can't say I've ever noticed the topiary geese before.

At least I'm not the only one! When I saw those, I thought "Are those new?" Where are the topiary geese located?

 

[diznyfanatic]

Thanks for sharing those awesome pictures Maria! Also, welcome to the Groupies Christopher!

Gosh, I honestly don't think there is a more beautiful resort anywhere than our beloved lodge. It really is a sanctuary for the soul.
