And the small clear voice in the dim light of the bedroom whispered 15 sleeps . . . . . SSR this trip, but you can count on the call of The Lodge beckoning to us when we first approach MK. And you can count on a visit with pictures to share.

Jimmy...I'm touched by the gesture of Cardinals red, especially after that weekend they had with your Braves. Thanks!

DDad...getting very close now, and I'm as excited for those sleeps to be over with as you guys are!

 

[Lakegirl]

7 more sleeps for us!!! Super excited

 

[jimmytammy]

Excited for all the trips coming up and those who are currently there! It amazes me how even though we have been many times, we still just as excited as the 1st couple trips.

The Contemporary Resort.

I agree with WDad. At the CR on the path leading from the resort to the boat dock.

Are there any pictures posted of the construction on the new section for DVC?

I haven't seen any recently, but stay tuned to this thread. We have a few people heading to WDW at this time and surely some of them will post pictures of the construction. Here's what it looked like a few weeks ago:

Stay tuned!

It looks like a mess. The green roof is WL and the brown roof is VWL, correct? It looks like they cleared out a lot of trees?

Yes, you are correct in identifying WL and VWL buildings. And yes, they cleared out almost all the trees between VWL and Bay Lake. We think they will put some trees back but at this point it is clearly a large construction zone.

Not affecting VWL directly as much, the north side of the Lodge is pretty much the same.

There is a WL construction update thread elsewhere on the DIS (I think under Disney Resorts), but I'm too lazy to provide the link. It's been a long week today. . .

[Lakegirl]

3 days!!!!! So excited. Not sure if we will get over to the lodge to check out construction as we have a pretty jam packed week ahead of us. Does anyone have any opinions on Diamond Horeshoe at MK??? Menu looks kind of limited??? TIA
