What is your favorate specific location in DVC?

[Muushka]

I have to say that I'm partial to the Carolwood Pacific Room at VWL!

Oh yes. We often visit this area of our beloved Villas of Wilderness Lodge. I hear that there is a secret handshake to be able to get in? I have never had a problem, but have heard that some have.

Other places at WL/VWL are:

The library area overlooking the lobby (WL). We sit there and read the newspaper (well, I read the paper, husband reads the funnies ). Also we love to get the chairs in front of the various fireplaces and just sit and absorb our surroundings. The rocking chair in front of the big fireplace is a good place to sit. The walk from VWL to WL. I can't help it, I just love that walk! I think that is my main reason for having a refillable mug- an excuse to go there!
The area out on the porches at WL overlooking the courtyard. The various nooks and crannies at VWL. Too numerous to mention!!!

Specifically, all areas of the VWL/WL.

And the often surly teenager that came to me wide eyed and excited about that story reminded me of a little boy I first took to that bridge several years ago....

What a beautiful story!

Now, let's hope -- for your sake -- that your "often surly teenager" doesn't see your quote.

VWL has been our home since 2001, and I've never seen this! I've spent many a rainy afternoon in the Carolwood Pacific Room reading a good book, but would love to search out this spot when I'm there next week. Can you tell me exactly where it is?

I'd have to say my favorite things are:

Sitting near a speaker by the Hidden Springs pool listening to the awesome WL music while reading a book.

Walking back from the boat dock at night, listening to the crickets and watching the flickering lights.

That first whoosh that you hear when you go through the doors into VWL. To me, that says "Welcome Home!"

1. Driving around the bend and catching that first glimpse of VWL/WL. Simply Amazing!

2. Sitting in the lobby of the Lodge or the Villas in front of the fireplace.

3. Standing out by the railing watching the geyser erupt.

Not likely...."c'mon, DISBOARDS?"

HHI Shadow, The big dipper pool, and watching the dolphin form the back porch.

BCV the pool , pirate ship slide, Arte in the lobby, The quiet pool and hot tub at 2 am. Watching fireworks form the balcony. And the location.

VB love the resort all of it. The beach , the shells, the RR you get when your there.

SSR Hope to try this resort or AKV this July.

do I have to pick???

* OKW at sunset & the beautiful balcony views
* OKW & SSR paths
* DD view at night from SSR & movies at night!
* The amazing views (theme pool or boardwalk views) at BWV
* Wilderness Lodge lobby. I don't care how many times I go in there, I'm in amazement.
* The sand between my toes and the sheer beauty of BCV
* Christmas at any resort!!!

Honestly, I know people have their favorite resorts, but the more I visit, the more I fall in love with each one for very different reasons.

Great thread!!!!

I thought I was the only one who knew about the Carolwood Pacific Room at VWL. Its such a lovely spot. Im surprised by all who know about it. Great place to hang out, play checkers, read a book, or just curl up for a nap.

By any chance, did they ask you about the handshake prior to getting in?
I think there is a grace period for now!
