On the lineage....I too was told for a long time, I was related to Pocahontas....that was not true. What is true is I'm related to Capt John Smith. I blame it on the stories they married, which is not true either. oh, and even though she's not "famous" per se, my great aunt worked on the ENIAC which I always thought was pretty cool....

I even knew what ENIAC was. Cool! So, we were almost related in a Pocahontas way, huh?

I didn't know they had that scent! And, welcome to luv2sleep! Best wishes for a quick wait.

Anyone around their area call Wed. humpday too? Always have around here.

Had dinner with wfc4life and sechem32 last night, among other things discussed(business, personal, etc.)obviously WDW, including upcoming trip and MagicBand plus. Liz remionds me of myself when I was on top of all these things Disney. I am just figuring out what the MBplus is, she is a seasoned vet on the subject. Love having these kinds of talks as it informs me about things I am out of touch with.

So I guess we can say there was an impromtu groupie meet last night in Elon, NC

That scent is hard to find, but Im sure you remember the smell the Villas lobby evoked a few yrs back when it was still new, woodsy, with hints of fir, pine, etc.
Well, we found the candles at a local YC(after reading on another post how this particular candle had very, very similar smells as our fav DVC resort)so we proceeded to buy up all they had, still have 5 unburned from many yrs back(its long owning gold, only better)

Every so often they will bring it back for lim. time, so keep watch, and do share if you see with us, FOR OUR EYES ONLY(meaning us groupies)

But, for a quick fix, YC's Balsam and Cedar is a close neighbor to the Aut. Lodge scent and can be found currently.

Just checked YC website, showing Autumn Lodge scent available, not so 2 weeks ago, so if interested may want to check it out, they tend to not last long!!!

Someone with more aptitude for such things will have to help you with the banners. I think for a couple of my pics, I merely cut and pasted. This is the friendliest group on the DIS (by our unanimous acclamation, so it must be true); we all bring a love for the Lodge and the Villas to this group, and there are no other requirements (save the $50 newbie fee payable to moi ). Again, welcome and congratulations on the contract!

Slydog - may I say your name is very appropriate. I see you try to get $50 from all rookies. I'm keeping my eye on you!

JB, I promised you pictures of BLT some time ago, but now that I've got them uploaded (finally), here are a few.

Studio, Lake View (can't remember the number, but something like 5575)




Looking toward the lake and pool (obviously)


Looking toward lobby

I'll show more pics from the TOWL later.

Moose dust that the time passes quickly and you have VWL points lickety-split!

JTBoone, we Ohioans also refer to Wednesday as 'humpday'. Colloquial language can be really funny sometimes! In regard to 'Autumn Lodge', I was able to secure multiple large jars a while back. Still have several of them packed away. Nice that YC has brought the scent out again.

DDad's time at the construction site has come to an abrupt end. Unfortunately he fell at the job site last week and broke a rib in his back! His left arm is not fully functional and he has difficulty walking. Fortunately our family physician is also our friend. What was a fracture in our local Emergency Room on Friday, broke clean on Saturday. After a horrible Saturday night the Dr came to the house early Sunday A.M. with additional medication and binders in hand. We're looking at about a 3 month healing time. Our October trip is a mere 61 days out. We have no intention of changing plans, we'll just be doing our trip at a much s-l-o-w-e-r pace.

So nice to see the BLT pics, Sly. Maybe one day DDad and I will stay there.....nah...I'd much rather stay at the Lodge!

Tell DDad I am totally thinking of him. Even though it has already been 3 months plus since I was hurt and I refused to give up any of my already planned trips, I sympathize.

But I also know that my pace for the next quite a few months will be definitely slower than in the past.

Thanks for the compliments on the shots. And, ouch! So sorry for DDad's and your pain (his physical and your mental). Hope he heals quickly.

Our Dad has an injury??? Please give him our wishes for a speedy recovery.

Sleepy or Sly, when I look at the BLT pictures, I still can't believe how much I love that place!
Thanks for posting them.
