Only on a Disney website would you be able to say something looks like "Pooh" and not be extremely insulting!
Muushka...thanks for the great photos!! Nicely transfered to digital.
I've seen other photos of WL at Christmas in years gone by, and it is evident they have dialed back the decorations quite a bit. When we went this last time at Christmas it was our first time at that time of the year, so we had nothing to compare it to. We found it to be very nicely decorated, but not as elaborate as what they had several years ago.
Here's a picture of the giant Christmas Village they used to have on display in 1999:
Pretty cool looking, but nowhere in sight this past Christmas. Still, we have absolutely no complaints about the ambience of WL during the holidays. In fact, I think I probably prefer it to be a little less "in my face" in keeping with the feel of the whole resort.
I'm jealous of all the lucky mooses who are.
Thank you for posting those pictures!
I'm not eligible to be an official VWL groupie, since I have been unsuccessful in finding a VWL contract (in fact, in the last two days NO VWL contracts have come on the market at all, but dozens of contracts for the others have!).
So I'm stuck in Little Mermaid mode, looking on and saying, "I wish I could be a part of that world."
It's torture to see those pictures, but it's also inspiring! Maybe my perfect contract will come along soon.
Ransom....MLK-RI is absolutely right. You don't have to be a member of VWL to be a groupie. You don't even have to have ever visited WL for that matter. "VWL Groupies" are an open enrollment bunch and we welcome everyone who has a hankering to join.
Good luck on finding that VWL contract....have you contacted the resale broker(s) directly to let them know your interest?
Oftentimes they will put you on their "notify immediately" list if they see a contract that fits you.
Here's the powerful Moose Dust Dance to help your VWL wishes come true!
Thank you! 
I did contact the three resale places I see most often mentioned. I've gotten some communication from two of them; the third hasn't responded to my attempts over the last week. I guess I should try again, and see what happens. Thank you for the reminder and the Moose Dust Dance.
Good Monday Morning!
We had he extreme pleasure of being able to share with our friends and on our last trip the anticipation of driving up to the lodge in the Magical Express bus was really fun. Everyone was very excited and it makes it special for us to see it all through the eyes of someone who hasn't ever been there.
Makes me smile just thinking about it.
We will be taking some guests this trip for the first time, and are looking forward to their reaction as well. They are teenagers, so not sure if they'll think it's cool to show amazement. That's okay...I still have the same reaction every time I drive up that road anyway!
Sharing that small bathroom will NOT be fun
We are also taking along teenagers on our Sept. trip.. I am sure we will get a great reaction especially since we are 4 deep in a room at POP Century for the first night

the rest of the trip.

I still get that warm fuzzy feeling everytime I drive under the sign, then I start to swell up(pride or tears) once the Lodge is in view. Then we are on
Even my terrorist were impressed. Upon arrival my 16 year olds declared the resort "Phat". Which I have been assured is about as cool as it gets.
I knew your wrote it before I read who wrote it
