So now we see a better view of that master shower/tub setup....
I just find that so interesting having the tub basically inside the shower. I've never seen that before anywhere.

AHHHHHHHHHHHH - I'm getting sick already looking at that 1960's panelling in/around the kitchen.

Uuuuhhh, yea!

What you are looking at is not really paneling. Paneling was a laminate board - like the fake floors people put in and call hardwood floors. What your referring to looks like actual wood boards. It reminds me of the look of the kitchens at HHI, but their cabinets are pickled green and have different hardware. The lighting looks open on the bottom, so the light will be directed outward and downward. Half of the pictures on about.com were computer generated.

I predict that less than 50% of the people that stay at the THV will return for another trip. It's going to be too isolated, too creepy at night, too much brush along the waters edge, someone will see a snake and freak, etc. When we stayed at the original - my DN was so creeped out at age 9, she had to sleep with me and DH hit the couch.

I think they look awesome. I can't wait to stay there.

Thanks for adding another link. The pictures make me so excited about staying there! The tub/shower combo is going to be pretty interesting. We're booked for Feb. 2010 so I don't know how the bugs/snakes/gators will be, but I'm sure that some people will be freaked out by the woods. I think our family may love the THVs so much that this may be our first choice from here on out. I keep looking at the pictures and I'm not at all put off by the theme. I think that, so far, they're all I've expected them to be. I can't wait until June to see pics of guests actually using them!

I think they look pretty good. Fairly reminicent of the originals, but updated, and larger from what I can tell. I stayed in the original treehouses a number of times when I was kid with my family, and then bought into OKW in '92 and never stayed there again.

They were a lot of fun. I am glad Disney re-built them and didn't just tear them down and abandon the area. They do appear to be lower to the ground than the originals, and of course, do not have that room on the ground level. I miss the spiral staircase in the center of the unit. I wonder if the peacocks will still be there. We always would have a peacock on our deck every morning putting on a show with their tail feathers, ever time we stayed in the 80s.
