Welcome, ElizabethCB!! We're so happy you've turned your lurking into posting now (though you could have joined the conversations before--owning VWL is not a requirement). Still, congratulations on your new contract and being able to call VWL your new home. You'll have to pardon us regarding the name of our beloved Lodge--most of us have decided to not use the new name as it doesn't evoke the ambiance that made us fall in love with the resort in the first place. I know that it is now called Boulder Ridge Villas but I'll always refer to it as VWL. It's okay if you call it BRV, though. Progress and all that. In all seriousness, I know it's such an exciting time for you, and all of us here can relate. I'm excited for you!! As we always tell new Groupies, if you feel like sharing your trips on Page 1, just PM me; same goes for birthdays and anniversaries, only PM KAT4DISNEY. Otherwise, pull up a rocker, grab your favorite libation, and set a spell (spittoon optional). Glad you've come out from "lurk-dom."Hi there, everyone! I have been lurking here for a while and wanted to come and introduce myself now that we are official WLV owners....I mean Boulder Ridge.
We bought a resale contract of 150 points -- our first DVC purchase -- that went through on Monday, and could not be more excited!
I love the vibe of this group almost as much as I love Wilderness Lodge. It is our favorite, and I can't wait for many future trips!
Right now we are planning a trip in January 2018 with my sister and her family. I'm hoping the construction will be finished by then. Any thoughts?
Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!
Here's a picture from our visit to the Lodge in January 2015.

As for construction end, no one truly knows, but I'd guess that if it's not finished by this time next year, it should be close. I'm sure some of the bugaboos will still need be worked out and the landscaping won't be very mature, but most of the major work should be done. Again, congratulations and as well as, "welcome home."
