Happy Birthday Di!!!

 

[KAT4DISNEY]

Well, we're still in house declutter mode until the movers come on May 2. We'll be flying down to Orlando on May 6 and not coming back (unless to visit). Our cat is staying at Disney while we're on vacation. Lucky cat. My new job starts on May 22. It's a great job which I didn't think I'd get, but I did. Thanks to all here for your moral support. It definitely helped me. I'll be able to do things that I wasn't able to do now that we will be near WDW.

Congrats again WD and good luck with the move!

Nice video and the cabins and rooms look nice.

Here's a photo from Friday which shows the type of vegetation they are planting between cabins (maybe something similar to come between the cabins and BRV?)

Today is the 2 year anniversary of my new knees! Check up is tomorrow. I am so grateful for the ability to walk so much better than 5 years ago. If anyone is on the fence about knee replacements, know that it could make you feel years younger!!

Thanks for posting the picture. I'm hoping that they have fast growing trees. If so, it will go a long way towards restoring some of the former feel for VWL.

@DebbieB posted this on another thread that is lifted from the DVC Member site:

Member Online Booking Tool Unavailable April 26
In order to provide you with a smooth booking process, the Member Online Booking Tool will be temporarily unavailable to accommodate system updates on Wednesday, April 26, 2017 from 4:30 AM until 9:00 AM Eastern Time.
All of us at Disney Vacation Club appreciate your understanding as we update our systems and we look forward to welcoming you "home" again soon.
​

April 26 is, of course, the first day CCV can be booked. It seems like Disney is purposely eliminating for one day the online booking advantage for the first general booking day for CCV. Online and Member Service booking will both start at 9:00 a.m. that day.

I'm sure they have good reasons for this, but not sure what those would be. Any guesses?

I think there could be a bit of chaos on the 26th. Not so much with new reservations, but with all the people looking to switch. The people who attempt it online, may lose their existing reservations, we all know that can happen. (So those people will likely call, or use a method that may work with separate browsers or computers.) But some may just go for it, and freak out when they end up losing existing room and not getting CC. I guess this takes away the online advantage. I will try online, as I am not doing a switch for my 4 night 2BR reservation.

But may call too, to switch my 3 day 1 BR...... argh. Would like all week to be at CC.
