Congrats sleepydog on the digs !!!!

Muushka....I'm a sun sneezer too !

Welcome hoosiermike !

My "hidden talent" is no matter what I am doing....I can drop everything and talk Disney in a hot minute !!!! And it can be pretty hard to shut me up !

Has anyone seen the new Yankee candle collection ?!!!

Muushka: I'll try to load a pic of the current kitchen, then when we've done the "facelift" (nice term, bagsmom), I'll put up that pic, too. I think I have the skills. lol As for the reply page, bagsmom, if you scroll down, you can see the past page or so of comments if that helps. But, yes, we're the ones moving/renovat, er, facelifting the kitchen.

Oh good. Love to see this stuff!

Do not watch it then!!! I can understand when they're selecting the initial contestants but it killed me when they were getting towards the end and some of the remaining talent still could get so off! I'm not a great singer myself but these people are being picked to win a recording contract so I'm really thinking we shouldn't be cringing while listening to them. Some are quite awesome though.

And thanks for letting me know I'm a photic sneezer. I knew I did it but didn't know it had a name!! lol Just something I thought everyone did.

OK, I won't watch! I always thought everyone sneezed when they looked at the sun too!

Twokats, it is going to be so worth it!

Granny, thanks for the pictures!

Maria, welcome to the Sun Sneezer Groupies!

Granny....wouldn't be surprised to hear of a bear sighting at WL or any other area of WDW. A couple years ago I believe one was spotted at FW ! Along with a panther !? Some people have spotted wild pig on property. I crossed paths with a snake and armadillo at WL

Interesting...had no idea that there were bears in Florida. Let's see, to add to your wildlife sighting list, I'd say that we've seen the snake and armadillo to, in addition to deer and a possum. And lots of rabbits.

Don't forget the ducks who call the main pool their home.

Sleepydog~congrats on your new home!

Granny~thanks for posting the glorious pictures! "ahhhhh" is right!!

Maria~I first caught a glimpse of the new YC collection in their catalog the other day. Immediately reminded me of the the lodge!

 

[twokats]

We have hickory flooring downstairs and I love that wood. I've thought about it for cabinets (our kitchen is upstairs) but the cabinets were fairly new when we bought our house so I haven't justified yet. We have such a mix of wood in the house that we cover most common species except for oak.

The main reason I justified it was the damage to the floor from a leak and we had several drawers that the hardware that held the drawers in place just gave out and it could not be repaired anymore.

Twokats, it is going to be so worth it!

Just keep telling me that!

 

[Snoopygirl]

We had another fun time talking about our upcoming 2013 trip to the World tonight at dinner. My kids asked again where we were staying and my DH was like....well, she doesn't want to stay at VWL. My youngest DD said...Mom, come on, let's stay there. I said....we just have to wait and see what we can get at 7 months.

I hope I can book VWL and surprise them all!!!!!

 

[bagsmom]

Snoopygirl -- I'm also feeling like our reservation won't be possible to the 7 month out point. (Of course I'm not a DVC owner.... I'll just be renting.) But it is making me a little crazy not knowing. I have a "plan B" but it's not nearly as nice as the lodge!

My kids were looking up WDW attractions on you tube and deciding what would be too scary to do!

It is so hot and gross here! The air is like a wet woolen blanket. I am thinking wistfully of the lodge -- but who am I kidding? No matter how much northwestern atmosphere it has, it's still in FLORIDA!

Thanks for the heads up about the YC scents. We used to buy Autumn Lodge and it really smelled a lot like the Villas area. The smell there is not as strong as I remember from years past, but it still is faint if your smeller is working well

Gonna check out our local YC store later before they get gone!!

 

[jimmytammy]

Granny, loving the pics! Ahhhhhh, home!!!

Yall let me know the dates you are looking for and if you want a studio, 1 or 2 bed and I can at least see if the dates are available on the DVC website. I realize this wont help you immediately but if it eases your minds, then glad to help

I had to pull up this oldie but goodie from our thread back in May 2009 ----thanks to KeepSwimmingDory for the editing ! I always loved this one---QUACKED me up ! She edited my picture into the WL pool after I posted a TR from a visit to VWL and mentioned how I was swimming in the pool at night with the WL ducks ! It's a classic !

We are planning to go June 8 through 15....
According to David's, at this point there is availability on studios.

We'll just have to see what happens! If it doesn't work out, I'm bringing a pillow and sleeping under the topiary buffalo!

 

[bagsmom]

Hey you guys! Quit talking about Yankee Candles! I am a sucker for a wonderfully scented candle and I am already ending summer in my head and moving on to FALL!

You are making me want one of those candles!

I'm supposed to be saving every spare penny for the lodge!!!!!

I checked and those dates are available for studios. So Davids is correct. I have a feeling the 7 mos window wont close up VWL. With all the inventory of places to stay, VWL isnt as hard to get as it used to be.

Im not much of a pool person, but if you need any help gathering ducks into the pool, I could probably help round some up. Looks like a great place to work!
