VWL Groupies...yes, we love the Lodge, a lot!!

[KAT4DISNEY]

I know there's a little hate on the VWL couch that pops up now and then (Granny?) but I think I might give the nod to BCV.....

Well.....maybe the VWL couch hasn't lost it's title yet.......

It's GRANNY who teases ME. It's all his fault.

I can't help it if our beloved Lodge has THE UGLIEST couch of all the DVC properties!

Granny will be here by this evening to give HIS side of the story.

Now I have BCV couch envy.

Kat, are you a Princess Bride fan?

Why don't you just give me a paper cut and pour lemon juice in it???

I CANNOT BELIEVE you put the words "Lodge" and "UGLIEST" in the same sentence!!


Kat...I'm not sure about that BCV couch. We only stayed there once and I can't say that it jumped out at me. I see that you take pictures right away before the room gets occupied...I know I've done that myself.

Yes, but I used the word 'beloved' before the word 'Lodge', so that cancels out anything negative.

Boy, you are quick today! Are you stalking me???

Humperdinck! Humperdinck! Humperdinck!



Was that on your list of favorite movies? Love that one!

I'll have to keep looking for a worse couch for you Muushka!

Yes Granny - I try and get some pictures before that moved in look happens! In this case I was mostly interested in the new bedding but the couch fabric just looks like something that belongs on a table to me.

Maybe the BCV 1BR's? I did not recall this from the one time we had a 2BR at BCV but I seriously think a couple of the interior designers were giggling as they picked out sofa material at each resort!

Oh no, I need to go back and edit that list AGAIN!

Hands held tightly over ears...."I'm not listening!!!"

[KAT4DISNEY]

You are probably right!

 

[Muushka]

You are probably right!

Aha! So can we mark Kat down as someone who agrees about the ugliest couch on DVC property is at VWL??

Couch wars on the DIS. Stay tuned.......

Well, I will say it ain't pretty!

If anyone would like to see these are links to pictures of VGF that I took during the member preview I went to last week. The GV is larger than most places I've lived!

I love love love this place. And I can't wait to stay here one day, probably in the year 2019 at the earliest!

And they have really nice couches!

thanks Kat. Great job, as always.

I have always been a foodie, I thought my profile gave that away
Seriously, I love some good food. And I can eat really fancy meals, or be just as happy eating plain, down home cooking.

 

[DisneyElite4]

Okay, from someone who has never stayed at VWL, I am now dying to see a photo of these alleged "ugly" couches. Anyone have one that they can post?

As a completely unbiased observer , the couch at BCV is definitely uglier. When we stayed at VWL this past summer, our couch was new and far prettier (and more comfortable). As for VGF, while I like the interior and the building façade, I gotta say the walkway is boring. Looks quite spartan. We visited the VGF model studio/1BR in July, and it is gorgeous, but wow is it pricey.

MK was a blast yesterday, we got to ride and see a combined 11 attractions in 5 hrs which is amazing for us, and wasnt running around like mad people to do it. That including getting 4 FPs, which is unusual for that amount of time. And Casey and I maxed out on Buzz Lightyear, 1st time ever! 999,999 pts. It only took 13 years and at least 25 trips under our belts to make it happen, LOL!!

Ohana was wonderful! We got seated as soon as they opened, and then headed to DTD, Lego and WOD stores and got some goodies from the Babycakes bakery.

Today, headed to HS for a 50s PTC ressie and try to get in some some rides/shows with hopes some FPs are avail. Kathy, I will let you know how the TSM trick goes

Ain't it beautiful?

Actually, I wouldn't call it beautiful. But I wouldn't call it UGLY either. It seems to flow with the room decor.

Now that old black & white checkered chair that they used to have...that was not a good fit IMHO. Here's an older photo with the chair in it...glad they changed the fabric!

They let me and my Twins t-shirt in Jimmy! That's gotta mean they'll let anyone in.

Fingers crossed for you with TSM!

And they have really nice couches!

The newer resorts all have a theme - bland and boring couches. Just picture the VWL thrown into the mix. It would definitely "pop"!

I agree. I think when the landscape fills in it'll help. And having stayed at the GF once and it rained more than once I give a big thumbs up for having the walkway - even if it were a tunnel! Walking back and forth to our room in the rain still stands out in my mind at GF. Having the walkway at VWL (which is more nicely themed) has always been a big positive.

HS was a lot of fun yesterday, CaptD and I saw Lights, Motors while Tammy shopped, then we all rode RNR 4 times single rider with 10 min waits!! That was awesome, FPassed ToT, ate at 50s and just did the gen. things you do there. Lots of fun!!

Our last full day at WDWwhere does the time go? Headed to Epcot, six more F&W booths to hit and T will have her passport filled(along with my belly)Biergarten, and hope that we can fit in a few rides, shows including Survivor. Whole lotta eatin goin on!!

HEY! Where did my pictures go?

Let's try this again...


Here's the controversial couch.






And here's the ugly chair that was thankfully replaced:
