Yes, Corinne, I usually order my water from Staples and they deliver it to WL. I add my name, guest, confirmation # and arrival date to the shipping label. No charge for delivery from Staples. Usually only takes 2-3 days. I'll order tomorrow for our arrival on Saturday.
Yep, Muush, you remember correctly. We did indeed experience COP together along with the People Mover..... great fun! And the hayride over at Fort Wilderness, too.

You make sure to visit as often as possible! Love seeing you here!! As for coffee, we finally broke down and got a Owners Locker(to be honest, we could stand to have one more)and keep our Keurig in there. We are carrying some ground beans we bought from The Fresh Market to save some $$ on those K Cups. And I will throw out a feller about your trip to VWL.
I'm not a fan of SB in general. I'm not so opposed to all the other SBs they've put in but the one at MK bugs me. I still can't figure out why they removed all the seating. You will never see me walking down main street with a SB coffee. Silently protesting! 
I like this new smilie!
I'd seriously have lost some (or is it more) faith in the decisions of the powers that be at DVC if they really went for over water teepees. How about log cabins on the shore? It's ala FW but that I'd like! The points would probably be scary expensive though if Poly is an indicator. 
I just saw a note in the Disney Food Blog that the one in AK will be opening up soon and the takeover will then be complete. I guess that the DTD location is one of the few in the country that is testing out a limited dinner menu. I don't dislike Starbucks but I too miss the uniqueness of Main Street Bakery and I liked having the unique coffee stands at the other parks. It's just 'cuz I can get Starbucks at a million other locations and figure that Disney could have something different.
), but I am curious to see if/how/when the main Lodge work will play out. As I've said before, I enjoy S'bux (there's nothing like living in a very small town that has NO coffee shop to hone one's latte appetite), but I don't like the way they pushed out some classic Disneyana to put them in. As others have noted, there is a certain blandness to Disney merchandise anymore which no doubt helps their bottom line, but also as mentioned above, that means I spend far less $$ than I might otherwise. Finally, I couldn't agree more that this is the one place on the DIS where I feel civility and friendship reigns, where I know one won't be attacked for sharing views. Thanks, Groupies!! 
Love you too Jimmy! 
So I can't remember if I mentioned that DW and I toured the Polynesian models at SSR. Beautiful rooms, similar in style to Aulani which is also still on display. The studio is really nice...larger than other studios with an extra half bath. The other nice feature that I wasn't aware of is that the studios lock off to an adjoining studio. This gives us the option to book a two studio lock-off. I had said that we will never stay at Poly villas (don't know the abbreviation for that) because they don't have a 1BR but after the tour we agreed that if we were to stay in a studio, that one would be our best option. Of course, the point schedule is rough so who knows if it will ever work out. But the villas themselves are very nice!
