Nice pics! From what location did you take them? At FW?

Lakeshore Lodge is really coming along! Is the path from WL to FW still closed? I’m hoping that comes back when LL is open.


Beautiful photos Jimmy. Looks like you are enjoying great weather.

Hey Granny!
Sadly, its still closed. I too hope they will find it in the plans to re-connect the 2 areas
The weather has been awesome. Cool in the AM and later PM, with temps and sunny days in low 80s

Hey Sleepy!
Two of the shots were taken from the Settlement area just to the left of Pioneer Hall. Its a massive building. The other sunset shot was taken from the boat launch at FW.

We were going to grab the boat back to MK that night to catch OKW bus, but the Christmas Party guests were lined up to the point it would have been at least 3 boats before we got on. While we were standing there we over heard a group of campers grumbling about DVC, Lakeshore Lodge and we already have a another D&%$ Lodge over there(pointing towards WL). So I felt sorta bad as I walked away and failed to tell them we were going to catch the bus to MK(that they didn't know about)with no waiting.

Was that mean or what?

Our current state

Hey Jimmy, were you able to catch The Beach Boys and John Stamos? We were at Epcot earlier this month and I SWEAR I never saw it so insanely crowded. The line for the concert was the longest I ever seen! It was for BoyzIIMen…I could not believe how crowded Epcot was!

Hey Corinne!
We decided to
forego it. People were lining up at 8am today. I saw pictures on fb showing lines running past Mexico for the early show

I feel like I post a lot of repeat photos so
I want to share more 1st experiences this trip
I’m currently sitting in the new MK DVC lounge near country bears
I love the vibe here as I expect most of us WL lovers would

Thanks for sharing those photos Jimmy. That DVC lounge looks very nice!

Well, the final day has arrived. I woke up early and saw them putting up Christmas lights at OKW on the bridge. I think someone posted yesterday that the WL lights are up too.

Headed to DHHIR later today for an overnight stay, off to Hudsons seafood on the Island for a bite this evening, then home tomorrow.

BTW, wanted to give an update on my Dad. He is doing much better, had his final PT at home this week(shhh, he started driving a few weeks ago and came back to work PT 3 weeks ago), Cant keep a good man down long! 94 yrs young, broke hip on Labor Day, and now back to a normal life. He is my hero!!

Now to the next chapter, if anyone feels led too, please pray for my older brother, Andy. He has dealt with Bi-polar most of his life, had a good run of 30 plus years of keeping it in control with proper meds, now, he is not doing so good. The dr changed meds and he hasn't been doing well since, to the point, not taking care of himself. Yesterday, he was admitted to the ER with aspiration pneumonia and dehydration. I appreciate any prayers and concerns for this.

Kudos to your dad - he sounds like mine (he made it to 97) and prayers for your brother…and enjoy HHI.
