My mouth is seriously watering right now!!!

Have a great trip! We just returned from 9 nights at BWV in a standard view, had room 5077-5079 (a 2bdr). It was in great shape, we were very pleased.
Enjoy!

Also... AP at SSR (counter service) is great with making gluten free things, like waffles and chicken, and they have Amy's gluten free pizza available. If I remember right, your wife has a gluten allergy like my daughters do. Just thought I'd share

We walked around World Showcase at Epcot today.

Hey Mike...

How's the exterior rehab at BWV going. As of a few weeks ago they had much of the area around the leisure pool done, and were working on the community center and the standard view rooms overlooking the tennis courts.

From your pictures, it doesn't look like they started the area around Luna pool yet.

Mike,

Thx so much for posting to us while you are on your vacation! Love the pics- the weather looks great and the areas look to be so empty! I guess it could be that you are out taking pics so early...? Beautiful, we will be watching the calendar! We check into SSR next month! I am sooooo excited!

 

[IggyLans]

Wow, love the pictures. Makes me wish we were at WDW right now! We'll be trying for BWV for the third week of November at our 7 month window! Hope to get in!

 

[Chellymouse]

Awesome pics Mike!

hi Mike,

thanks for the live report!

We will be staying at the BWV in a standard 1 bedroom in another 45 days! Can't wait. I have ALWAYS had a BW view and I am thinking I will be wistful for it on this upcoming trip. I won't miss that bell or bouncing basketball but that view is fantastic. So How are you and your wife doing with the standard view? Is it growing on you? Is it peaceful and quiet?

thanks!
Jeannie

OK I'll be the first to ask, what camera are you using? Thanks for letting us share in your vacation.

.......Below are our dinner reservations for this trip. The only new ones for us are Il Mulano (at the Swan) and Chefs de France (I've never been into French food).

• Le Cellier
• Flying Fish Cafe
• Coral Reef
• Hollywood Brown Derby
• Jiko
• Yachtsman Steakhouse
• Chefs de France
• Il Mulano
• Jiko (yes, twice)
• Raglun Road
• California Grill
• Ohana

Each time we come "home", we tend to spend less and less time doing the rides. Yes, we'll still visit the Parks, but we find ourselves just walking around, enjoying the atmosphere.

Guess I'll have to get the Camera out and take some pictures today. We have no plans for the entire trip and I have no idea what we'll end up doing today. We're playing the entire trip by ear.

Mike, you guys know how to live !!!! Have a great trip & !!!!

Look forward to hearing more

~ Laura, Joe & kids

I very much miss my boardwalk view! I've decided that from now on, I'm only going to book the boardwalk view at VWL.

Hey Mike, great pictures...we are at SSR this trip , here til 2/24. We were at Epcot yesterday too and not too crowded....do you have any idea why the boat(you have a picture of the landing area) does not stop at Germany any more. We went to get on yesterday and sign said it only stopped at Canada and Morocco? Thought you might know...Thanks again for the SUPER pictures....Carol

Great photos Mike! We booked BWV Standard View for our next stay so that we could stay an extra day. I'm wondering if I'll have the same reaction because we really love the boardwalk view too.

Looks like you are having some great weather. Have a great time!

Now I know you are really having a hard time with that standard view!!!
