Bit the bullet and borrowed the points. DS and I will be at OKW from Nov 16-23. I think we're going to do MVMCP on the 17th. We've never been to the party before. Very excited and we will be celebrating his 8th birthday. My DH is staying home to deer hunt. LOL

Sounds like a great plan. You're going to have a great time.

Morning all. Well, it's my last day of work before Alaska!! I am SOOO excited! I haven't packed/cleaned/done laundry yet and we leave Saturday. Looks like I will be busy tomorrow.

At least time will go a little faster snip.....

Have a wonderful cruise. Enjoy that balcony!

Again, THANKS SO MUCH for all of the birthday greetings!

And it is great to see all of the pictures of our favorite place in The World, and to read of all of the adventures there and in the lives of those with whom we wish to share The Lodge.

Things are slowing down now on this construction site. Did I mention it is an investment of $1.6 Billion and is to provide drilling casing and transmission pipe for the gas & oil industry? With the present rate of expansion and production in many of our great States, the industry predicts energy independence by the end of the next decade. what a change that will bring in so many things!

Music to my ears, D Dad. Thanks for the great news!

Hey Kat, where did you see the discounts? Are they for the fall?
I'm thinking about doing a quick 3 or 4 day trip without sid and rizzo late september or early October and it's going to be a cash trip.

You go girl!

An early Happy Birthday to Rusafee1183!!!!

Only one more sleep!!!

Many years ago, when I frequented the AOL Disney boards, there was a poster who would post before each WDW trip asking people what their favorite treat was, and he would "bring it back" for them in a virtual suitcase.

So, I was wondering, what is the one food/snack you must have on each trip?

Funnel cake for me!

Mickey Waffles from Roaring Fork (and Starbucks wherever I can find it!).

After owning at the VWL for 11 years, we're finally planning a trip during the holiday season to see the Christmas decorations! We've stayed at the VWL many times but have never been able to go when the decorations are up. We're thinking about going the week before Thanksgiving 2014. Does anyone know when the WL is decorated? I expect that the decorations go up sometime during the week before Thanksgiving. I'm hoping it is decorated early that week. It would be a bummer if it wasn't decorated until the last day we'll be there (Sun before Thanksgiving).

Thanks!

 

[Muushka]

You are in for a great stay at our beloved vwl!

I am certain that it will be its glorious lodge by that time.
MK was decorated by Nov 1 one year that we were tj

 

[tiggerguy2000]

Usually every other stay is at the Lodge and we gone twice a year for most of my time being a DVC member since 2000.We stayed at the lodge for new years week and going back again June 30th thru july 5th with one night as a surprise at AKL the over to BWV July 6th thru 12th.We have a 1 bedroom except the AKL stay.We are at somewhere between 12 and 15 stays at the Lodge.We have not made our fall/winter plans yet but it could be a 3 stay year at the Lodge.

 

[rusafee1183]

Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone!!! We are in Dallas for our layover. Pittsburgh to Dallas...to Vancouver. Most random layover ever. Lol

Hmmm. I think I am going to have to say mine is a cocktail, rather than a snack. Either a Grey Goose Lemoncello slush or a Blood Orange margarita from the 'Tequila Cave'

Hey Eliza! I see that Julie answered your question but here's a link to mousesavers that has a few more details on the discounts announced so far. Looks like September is covered but you would have to wait and see for Oct.

Hmmmm - I have a couple. I'll go with popcorn though. But in Feb I had what I call a mini version of the No way Jose at Beaches and Cream and I'm already dreaming of that again!

Cool tiggerguy2000! Sounds like a very, very good year!!



Happy Birthday Rusafee1183!
And have a great trip!!!

I've arrived at WDW and am waiting for DH to get here from NV (I flew from MN where they have a freeze warning for tonight and ice on the lakes for the fishing opener!). We have a single night at BLT and then move to AKV. I'm on the balcony listening to train whistles, castle show music and fireworks and catching glimpses of monorails. They've got it all going on today! Think I'll head up and see what's happening at TOTWL.

 

[Muushka]

Sounds dreamy Kat. Enjoy!

Welcome to our Groupies! I've only been once to the Lodge after all the decorations were up, though this past year we caught the end of Food and Wine Festival (Nov 8-11), and many of the decorations around the World were in place or going up while we were there. However, the Lodge tree and other major decorations didn't go up until the day after we left. Still, given that you'll be there the week before Thanksgiving, I believe you will find all the glorious beauty of the season on full display. While we were there, they started the MVMCP and the Osbourne Lights, so those will easily be available as well. Have a great time! You will love the decorations!

We have not made our fall/winter plans yet but it could be a 3 stay year at the Lodge.

I'm envious. At least we'll be there in a little under two months, and welcome!
