Arrived at BLT about 9:00 this evening and we went up to The lounge for a bite to eat, some adult beverages and a little "Wishes". We have a room looking at the CR and I think WL. So far so good.

Jimmy...I will try to post some pix before we leave. We've stayed here a few times but this is our first villa on the "outside" of the "C" on the south end. Very different from the other LV rooms where we couldn't see CR at all from the room. Still, it's a very nice set up and each of us having our own bathroom is always nice!

SlyDog...while you channel your inner Yoda you can still look forward to your next scheduled trip which I'm sure is not too far off!

 

[DiznyDi]

Have great fun Granny! I hope you're successful in meeting up with Corinne and Maria.

 

[Corinne]

What is this "hockey?"

 

[Corinne]

Twenty-eight years ago I married my best friend.

It was a little bittersweet today, though, our older son was here taking the last of his things, so, he is officially moved out.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

 

[jimmytammy]

Happy Anniversary Corinne!!!!

 

[jimmytammy]

As the title that someone with a lot of foresight tagged me with,

Go Panthers, Oh Nevermind!!

Its tough being a fan these days, we have tickets to 3 games this season, thinking of doing like the old days, wearing a paper bag with holes for eyes and nose cut out over my head, cause seats may be in tv viewing when the other teams score again and again and...

Oh Jimmy. That is too funny. Sad and funny at the same time.

 

[DiznyDi]

Happy Anniversary Corinne!

The funny thing about kids - they do seem to find their way back home again; even if only for visits While you will miss your son, you'll find that you actually enjoy renewed interests with your spouse. Plus you have a Disney trip coming up that will really put a lift in your spirits!

Sorry jimmy!

Well, it was dark when we got here so I didn't know what the view was. Now I can see that WL is prominent, VWL has a little roof visible and the Swan and Dolphin are visible in the distance along with Spaceship Earth.

We ate at Boatright's last night...this might be our new favorite place to eat! Good food and good service at a lovely resort that we have never visited before. Very nice!

We went to MK today and this is our first trip during a truly off peak period. Easy lines and accomplished a lot. A little hot so we came back to the resort for a little pool lounging. I could definitely get used to these smaller crowd times!

Oh, it was dark, now I understand. I thought you were being a wise guy.

First visit to our favorite non-Disney resort, Dixie Landings? . See why we love it there?
Boatwright's is great, we agree.

Have a great time Granny. And Mrs. Granny.

 

[jimmytammy]

Granny
We like Boatwrights too. Went there back in May and was impressed. Desserts really good. You have to go back and see YeeHaw Bob at the The Rivers Roost that is just behind Boatwrights. Cant remember his schedule but seems like he is there Wed-Sat, 3 shows. He has a website, very funny, clean humor, singalongs. Got to see him, we got hooked.

 

[Muushka]

I found out that we can arrive at WDW a few days early for for our December VWL visit.
So I looked at AP rates for Dixie Landings and I was stunned at the price. We used to pay $69 a night!!!!!

We love it there, but but not at close to $100 more a night than our cheap but nice place in LBV.

Sooòo, no Dixie Landings for us. Maybe a waitlist!

 

[Corinne]

Happy Anniversary Corinne!!!!

Happy Anniversary Corinne and Mr Corinne.

Happy Anniversary Corinne!

I am getting excited for the trip! It is a rather short trip, but I don't travel that well without my hubby, so 4 days will be fine.

Thank you all for the well wishes! I'm so happy for my son, and it's not like I wasn't prepared, they bought a house last month and have been slowly moving in. I think with our younger son away at school, and it being our anniversary I was thinking about being semi empty nesters and how fast time truly does fly by!

FYI, official announcement today about DVC coming to the Polynesian Resort.

 

[blossomz]

Happy Anniversary Corinne! Sorry I've been MIA lately...really been busy. Hope all my groupie pals are doing well. I am counting down the days to the Member Cruise! Leaving on the 27th!! Then off to a treehouse villa for a few days!

Exciting news about Poly!!!

 

[twinklebug]

FYI, official announcement today about DVC coming to the Polynesian Resort.

Not sure I want to afford Disney's prices these days - But I'm in for a few nights there!
By the way, rumors state that the refurb to the Poly will demolish the large fountain/planter in the center of the lobby. I'm against this as it's linked to memories of being there with my Nana when I was small.

Now I just need to hear an official Ft Wilderness DVC announcement.

Curious ... How would everyone feel about them adding another DVC building to VWL?
I'm not sure the resort could support more guests (dock & CS wise), but would love more availability.
