How does one request the alternate rooms at CCV? End of the hall away from elevator?

Well this is a bit embarrassing lol but I have a confession to make. Even though I have stayed at VWL numerous times I never noticed the moons. Shame on me. They are so cool.

Thought I would post some of the food pictures from our meals at the Lodge.
Whispering Canyon

Geyser Point


We also got the skillet at WC but I forgot to take a before picture. And I guess I forgot to take pictures at Roaring Fork

That cheesy brisket from GP got my mouth watering this AM

Has anyone seen the merchandise for the 30th Anniversary of DVC? We kept putting it off but finally went to the site last night and purchased a few items, phone cases, t shirts. I would have loved to purchase a VWL shirt but it had Boulder Ridge plastered on it and I couldn't pull the trigger on getting that one. Old habits die really hard

I'm "stuck" with Wilderness Lodge apparel from here on out. Maybe I'd take a permanent ink sharpie to it and write Villas in front.

I got the call from Disney Ticketing today! Was able to purchase DVC Gold AP’s. Of course, I had not done my homework and I had no idea what the prices were, so I almost keeled over when it came to $1500+ for 2 passes. Yikes. I thought I was going to receive the renewal price, but I should have asked when I was speaking to her.

Oh that makes me feel better lol. I was gonna get pictures of all of them but when I went to do it the light was really bad and I didn't get another chance. They are really cool though.

Never fear. I'm sure one or more of the many vloggers or live streamers will pick up on this and make a point of being first among them to seek it out.

Actually not new. There's just so many neat things to look at that I can't say I noticed them either but they're in my pictures from years ago.

Awesome construction

I think you hit the nail on the head. There is so much to look at in there that it can be overlooked. Isn't that the awesome thing with it though is that you can find something new each time? Love it. Oh and what a great picture!

Any coffee mugs we have, we purchased 2 of with VWL on them, we put one up for safekeeping behind glass doors. My VWL apparel hasn't been as lucky in the preservation dept. But I still wear all the same. We are a odd bunch me thinks in holding on so tight to the past, but the past is what got us all here now. Its like longing for the good ol days. I still cherish the VWL as it it is now, really liking the addition of Geyser Pt., but still long for the way things were. Strange I am
