They are pretty close together aren't they! It's a lot like the Poly bungalows vs say the FW cabins that have some breathing room in between. And big! I had realized that was going to be the case but still, seeing them gets them into better perspective.

Too true Kathy...it's always worth dragging this image back when we are talking about CCV layouts.

As I look at it, the space between most cabins looks to be about the width of Trout Pass Bar...which is pretty darn small.

And for perspective, see how many of those cars in the parking lot you could put in one of the new cabins. Oh my!

Looks like a 6 car garage? :rotfl:

A couple more new pictures showing that the concrete is being poured for the northern cabins. http://www.disboards.com/threads/di...estions-thread.3372315/page-216#post-56355720

Happy Birthday Casey!!!! Hope you're having a great day!

jimmytammy · Aug 27, 2016

I know its going to be awhile, but I just look forward to them getting "that other resort"(whatever they are calling it

)complete so we can get our beloved VWL back to its tranquil nature.

Casey has had a great Bday so far!

Happy Saturday Groupies! We're heading to Portland, ME tomorrow for a short overnight trip. I'm looking forward to visiting the lighthouse! Hope you all enjoy the weekend!

It is raining here this morning, and all day, so no yard work and golf course is closed. It is true, I refuse to work in rain but will gladly golf in it. So I'm drinking coffee in kitchen and cruising the boards. Found this quote on another thread. Kat pointed out the empty parking lot, and this person seems to confirm it. I bet I could get a window seat at AP for dinner now (still feeling resentment about that, should probably let it go).

It's $249.64 taxes in for a Standard Room (through the Canadian portal) this week. We just changed our trip from September to this week and were upgraded to an amazing view of the castle and a clear view of the fireworks. No construction work being done on this side in the past week so all is quiet. The resort is empty and there is no one around the pool during the day. Dining reservations in the resort for both restaurants were open for any time slot we wanted. Having an amazing time!!!

Hi Groupies, just catching up. On the GOTG coaster at Epcot, I think the theming tie in can be decent given its in future world, and near MM. I will say this, it needs to be spectacular. No half efforts, and all will be well.

Opted for another trip to VGC for March 2017, booked a 1BR. We figure by 2018 the dust will have settled and some new rides will be up and running. And, of course you know I will book 7 nights for March 2018 at VWL.

Anyways, keep these pictures coming of the C3 (That's what I'm calling it). I can't wait to see the layout and point cost of these cabins...

Hi everyone just a brief hello - work and life are a little crazy at the moment.

Hoping everyone is doing well - don't even have the time to try to catch up on what's happening - quiet time in October - I'll catch up then.

Anyway Miss Suzy Grace arrived 7-7-16 weighing in at 8 lbs 4 oz 20". Granddaughter #3 and parents are all doing well. Thank you God.

Beautiful! Congratulations!

Hello, fellow groupies. Many of you remember me spouting about a potential job in Florida. Well, the position has finally opened, I applied and I was told that my resume is at the top of the list for interviews. I think I have one more great thing in me, and this will set us up for retirement mode in just a couple of years. It would be nice to have the move paid for, after all. But, we'll see what happens. I'm not counting my chickens yet. Who knows, maybe I'll get cold feet. I have been at my current job almost 17 years now. But I think it's time to make the move if things go well. The job is at the Cape, but I'm thinking about living in the Hunters Creek area.

In other news, I can't want to meet you all on December 12. I'm desperate to get those dancing men dancing.

Best of luck WD! I hope everything works out the way you want it to.

So yes I'm back from New Zealand. I thought my quick trip there in May was something special but this was the bucket list trip to end all bucket list trips! It was incredible! I am so in love with that country. Truly spectacular. I did post some photos on FB. Tons more to add. I plan on doing a photo TR on that other site. The purple one that references owners. I know only a few of you are members on that site but you can always lurk to see the photos. I'll let you know once it's up & running. I took hundreds of photos. It will take a bit to go through them plus I came home sick. :sad2:

We just got home last night.

So question about the new security procedures at MK. I saw the photos. Is there still a no bag line on that side? Since we're staying at BLT for Christmas we will be walking over. The thoughts of being stuck in those lines are not appealing. We don't bring bags into the parks anymore. Much easier without them.

Welcome to all the new groupies! It's great to have you here on the friendliest thread on the DIS. :welcome:

Late to the party, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CAP'N D and HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, GABRIELLYN!!! A shout out to The Princess for only having just a touch over a week until she's back at the World! I'm jealous as May is a long way off. Hope all are having a great weekend!

Welcome back Julie!! Glad you had a fabulous time - enjoyed following along on facebook. Such a beautiful place!

Sorry, can't help with the bag lines as I barely got an understanding of the change that happened much less the details! :laughing:

Happy Monday morning Groupies!

Welcome back Julie! I'm waiting with eager anticipation to hear about your trip. Hope you feel better soon!

Hope you enjoyed your week-end get away, Corinne.

Have a good week Groupies

So glad that your trip was so over-the-top fantastic! Sometimes a return trip to a place you've enjoyed can be a bit disappointing but it sounds like this one just got better and better! I hope you're feeling well soon.

It's not clear from the announcement if there is a "no bag" line on the East side (nearest BLT) entry area. I have to think that there is, so I'll put down a 97% sure that there will be a no bag pass through area. Keep in mind that there are still metal detectors to get through for everyone (bags or no bags) so I anticipate that will become the new bottleneck.

Just a heads up. I've had two phone interviews with the folks in Florida about that job. But I haven't heard back as to whether I'm going to be invited down for an interview. But I haven't been rejected either. So, we'll see. I'm thinking that I'm not going to get it. If not, I'll hang out here a few more years before going into retirement mode.

Granny · Aug 30, 2016

WildernessDad...I hope that the job works out for you. Throwing a little Moose Dust your way to help with a great outcome for you!

I echo what KAT says! Best wishes!! (Oh, and if you do, keep in mind a future helper going by the moniker "Sleepy." Just sayin'. . .)
