We know Kirk! We first met him a couple of years ago in the VWL lobby area. He's been very helpful in the past and is a real hoot. Disney could use more Kirks!

At VWL, CM Kirk was so helpful! It is Tinkerbell Thursday. He arranged for an additional FP TO Soarin or Test Track plus the Illuminations viewing FP!

Never knew about Tinkerbell Thursday!

AWESOME!!

What?! Over 24 hours with no posts! People at Disney: uhh, hello? We know you're having fun, but some of us need vicarious Disney thrills. Just sayin'.

Hey Groupies!

We made it to our beloved home yesterday and spent some time strolling around Disney Springs. We used the order function on the MDE app to place an order at Burger Deluxe and it was a good way to get served much more quickly than waiting in line.

Our bags were delayed in delivery from ME and I had to go to bell services to chase them down. They finally found them and got them to our room about 9:00 pm so all is well.

We didn’t get our lake side room request but are happy enough with our room overlooking the covered walkway on the bus side. It is a little noisy with the rolling luggage on the wooden walkway but it is nice to sit on the balcony and hear the Christmas music playing softly.

Here’s a pic from our balcony




I did bump into @bobbiwoz and her DH last night on the elevator. A brief but fun mini-meet!

It is a little cool but pleasant weather. Heading over to MK to activate our APs. Have a great day everyone!

People were in the pool today. It is beautiful and I saw a bald eagle.

 

[Lakegirl]

Thanks so much for the pictures and snippets from your trips!!

Nice view of the Mick topiary Granny! Bobbi, we saw a bald eagle last year at the BoardWalk, thrilling!

We saw that on our last trip! It was at the Epcot entry and the family had just brought it for a little girl who was having a birthday. She climbed right in with a big smile!

I’ve decided that the BR part of BR/VWL doesn’t really stand for ‘Boulder Ridge’ but rather ‘Beloved Resort’ - at least in my mind

I couldn't agree more

 

[jimmytammy]

Our first time with a view of the lake since the cabins were built.

Oh yes, I remember Kirk. Met him on our last VWL stay. Though I didnt get much of a chance to talk with him, the brief encounter did tell me he was very excited about his position there.

It is currently snowing at our house with at least 6"
Man I wish I was at the Lodge

We are at AKV-K and there is a steady light rain. It probably is pouring at the Lodge right based on radar. 100% rain this morning and early afternoon, but it is warmer 71 degrees. Definitely a day to hang around the resort IMO especially one like Wilderness Lodge.

She looks like Sleeping Beauty versus Cinderella.

We just left.
My sister and I are at BWV now, hoping the rain lets up! I finally have a Slinky Dog Dash FP!

Icy rain here - currently in the ER - Jerry fell getting the paper - looks like a dislocated shoulder -
