Tom is home! It’s great to have him recover at home!

Thank you for all the prayers and good wishes!

Great news! I must admit my prayer sounded pretty funny: please help bobbiewoz’s husband heal quickly and completely!

Just booked our next trip to BRVs for Sept. 2022. The wait is going to drive me nuts but we've got DHHIR in May. It feels so good to have some Disney on the calendar!!

When you respond to DVC that you will be going to the Condo meeting in December and they ask you to check off where your home resorts are, do they have you check of Bolder Ridge? NO!! Listed with all the others is “The Villas of Wilderness Lodge!!“. Always and Forever!

Obviously the condo meeting is being organized by clandestine VWL Groupies. Viva VWL!!!

Happy to hear that you have Tom back home and that things went well with the surgery. Best wishes on recovery!
DH was going thru chemo and radiation this summer for lung cancer that they found in May and has responded well. Now a year of immunotherapy treatment.

Glad to hear that Kat. I hope he continues to respond well and fully recovers quickly.

We do the same. Strip beds and put towels in a pile. Never thought of folding them for counting.

We take out the trash and start the dishwasher - leaving the empty dish soap bottle on counter above so they know we've run it. We leave the room as straightened as we found it and notify front desk of anything that needs attention.

This was the recommended process from our 'other' timeshare there on HHI. Just always did it for DVC too.

Sleepy, is there anything else we might be missing that would help?

As a general rule, housekeepers don't count linen, per se. They would notice, for example, that there are only X number of pillows vs. the correct number. But, they won't normally count sheets or top covers, etc. As for anything extra, I asked around and certainly received answers similar to what you (and others) do: strip the sheets, run the dishwasher, consolidate trash, and certainly notify the front desk about any issues you had and to tell them you are leaving (if you don't stop by). Now, please understand that these are nice things to do but totally unnecessary as, in the end, these are part and parcel of what we as CMs signed up to do--you are on vacation after all! For me, this position has given me a better understanding of the whole process, and while I've never been messy, I now know how to be even better. Every little bit helps.

Kathy...sorry I didn't pick this message up for a few days. You know that you and your DH are in our prayers. Hopefully you will have a restful holiday season (do those words even go together?).

Tom is home and recovering very well. He has fluid retention, and it’s being addressed. Yesterday an ultra sound was done, and the cause is not blood clot, so medicines and compression socks are prescribed.

I cannot say enough thank you to all of you who have sent prayers and good thoughts our way.
