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

Our Panama Canal cruise has Oceanview cabins (gty) for $3150 including taxes and fees for 2 for 15 nights. It's gonna be great , anyone?

Wow. I'd love too! Love the longer cruises.

Sounds lovely, but time off is a premium for Luv, and we already have a couple of trips planned this year. Besides, for 15 night, we'd need a verandah. Heck, for four nights we need a verandah.

Good Morning

It's been a ridiculously lazy day here so far. I have been lazily reading through the Dis, getting more and more excited for my trip in April.

Does anyone have any room recommendation tips for a BWV Boardwalk view studio? I think I requested a high floor, but that was all I knew to ask for. Any help would be awesome

Yup, we are with you on that. And even though it's much less expensive than what we're paying, we're not kicking ourselves. Love those verandas!

That's the request I like for boardwalk view.

Having never been on a cruise before, I just don't think we want to start with a 15 nighter. And like sleepy, we have multiple trips already planned. DDad is running out of vacation days. :good vibes Sounds fabulous! I know you and Mr Muush are going to have an amazing time!

Is anyone else having cold weather again? Maria is in Florida visiting her daughter and planning for the wedding. I hope she brings some sunshine home with her.

rusafee, kind of a lazy day around here today, too. Hard for me to get motivated when my feet are cold. DDad has gotten a few things accomplished, me, not so much......

We've had two Alberta Clippers come through in the past four days and expecting another today. Wind chills overnight Friday were hovering near zero. As for Florida, they need some warm weather, too. Just checked Port Canaveral webcam (you can watch all the Disney cruises leaving from PC there), and it's 40F at 8:45 a.m.!

Just come on out to the west coast! Our ridge of high pressure off the coast isn't budging and we're scheduled for mid to high 50's and sunny in Reno for the rest of the week. DL will be sunny and 70's and 80's! Wish I was there!!!!

The bad thing is it is dry, dry, dry. Snowpack is only around 10% of average. If it doesn't change soon it's likely to be a nasty, dry, fire filled season. So no matter how much I am enjoying the mild weather I know it needs to end - and soon.

A day and a half without a post?! I will end the streak and say we had lovely weather for this time of year: 50 and sunny. In fact, some friends and I went off the mountain to golf about 25 minutes away where the temperature reached 62! Tomorrow? Not so good. We're to drop 30 degrees and have a chance for anywhere from 1" to 4" of snow. Let winter re-commence. . .

From the Orlando Sentinel:

Walt Disney World's Wilderness Lodge has rejoined AAA's prestigious four-diamond list, one of only seven Florida properties to be added to the list this year.

The hotel, inspired by turn-of-the-century national park lodges, is known for its log-cabin theme and Pacific Northwest décor. It was first named a four-diamond hotel in 1996. AAA could not say Monday when the hotel fell off the list.

Nice. We had a 60 degree day a week or so ago. Crazy. We had surprise snow on Sunday. Always a pleasant surprise. Not! Tomorrow night we're expecting another 5-8". As long as it doesn't snow the weekend of Feb. 1st it's fine. Flying to FLL for my Celebrity cruise on 2/2. Praying for no weather related travel delays.

You beat me to it! I was coming on to share this too. Well deserved!

Booked the first part of our Christmas trip today. 20-27. Now I just need to wait until the 27th to book 27-29. I need to use a different membership for the remaining days. So excited to be back home for Christmas this year.

Thanks for posting this information. Wow!

Yes, thanks! Suspiciously, the 4-star designation reappeared shortly after the new decor at the main Lodge. . .

Luv is all over the MB thing, but they seem like trouble to me. I'm old school, what can I say?

Understand...I would have been more reluctant had I not seen them working with Will and Liz back in Oct.

Just had to share that after a very long delayed closing (signed contract in July 2013, closed on 1/3/14, but did so knowing that was the case), we finally booked our very first DVC trip to our "home" at VWL 5/28-6/6!! Family is super stoked, can't wait!!
