@sleepydog25 , I mean "Patrick", was right (as usual, I might add). Those are really, really nice luv. I love the MB keepers as well! Who knew there were so many talented Groupies around here

....and in other news, only 4 more sleeps until we're home again (not that I'm counting or anything). We are looking forward to the Star Wars Dark Side races this weekend. Hopefully my old "football-abused knees" will hold up and we can finish before the forecasted 90 degree temps set in. Can't wait to try Geyser Point and check out some of the "enrichments" to our home!

So we just went through the process to confirm our purchase at CCV. Now we just need to wait for the paperwork to arrive. Very happy!!!

Sleepy,
You did a great job on the 1st page in welcoming any and all.

FYI - DVC has reversed its stance and is now saying the bathroom configuration (shower or tub) will be a guaranteed booking for Copper Creek studios.

I think whoever at Disney made this decision has just saved MS a ton of headaches and complaints. So I guess it will be interesting to see how those numbers break out.

luvvwl....thanks for posting those pictures of those amazing MB's. That had to take quite an effort to put those together and they came out great! Thanks for sharing.

Friendly...We'll look forward to your reports on how you liked Geyser Point and the campus changes. And good luck with the race!

Strikan...the waiting is the hardest part, but at least now you know you are well on your way to DVC ownership! Congratulations again!!!

Sleepy,

Sleepy...I have to agree with Jimmy and others...you did a fantastic job with page 1. I don't typically go to that page very often and I enjoyed seeing the pictures from a while back. Thanks for updating the first page with such a nice welcoming message for all.

Agreed it has made it much better !

And I am interested in knowing where in the south wing the two types of studios are located.

Just want to say, I don't own at VWL but this thread has never made me feel as though I'm anything less than one of the gang. You all are wonderfully accepting, and the level of discussion that goes on here has never made me feel uncomfortable. I do need to get to a groupie meet one of these days though. December is shaping up well for that.

Also, a side note regarding DVC's sales methods, and an appreciation for how non-pushy they are:
I admit that I'm a tad bit upset with my guide, and yet at the same time wholly relieved that he never looked at the number of times I've stayed at VWL and put in a personal call to ask me to consider buying into CC. I'm 99% sure, had he that I'd have bought in despite the Ikea vibe furniture. (I adore those cabins though.)

Great bands @luvvwl !!!!! So much patience you have! I bought some bling with the idea to do similar but have yet to do more than a little blinging here and and there on bands.

Uhmmmm, I wish there was a LOVE button Kathy! Those are amazing! What did you use to decorate???

Thanks so much Corinne! For the most part I use nail polish although I've also used some acrylic paints. Then I add some tattoos or create something on water slide paper and also do a little freehand or dot flowers. Have also used some stickers (like the light bulbs on the Christmas band and wine glasses/bottles for F&W). I'm particularly fond of and have done several with the tie dye effect - do drops of nail polish in room temp water and then dip the band. Never exactly certain what you're going to get which is part of the fun.

According to information I received directly from DVC, Copper Creek will have 41 shower studios and 37 tub studios.

We still don't know where these two different configurations of studios will be in the Lodge. There are 42 dedicated studios and 36 lock-off studios, so it doesn't look like the bathroom configuration is determined whether its a dedicated or lock-off.

I asked DVC where the different studios were located, they couldn't give me an answer.
