Tinkerbellybutton...love your user name! And as Sleepy indicated, there is not an official opening date for the new pool. Cast members seem to bring up July 4 as the target date for the pool and re-opening Roaring Fork QS, but I agree that for sure they will be open by July 17 when CCV guests start coming in. Thanks for stopping by! :)

I hope you are right. We check in on the 3rd. Would be great it everything were open then.
 
Yesterday we went to HS and rode RNRC and TOT plus caught Indy show. Then we headed to Epcot to eat at Rose n Crown. Another really good meal. Then we saw The Spinners. They were outstanding. A boy band before its time

Today we are heading to The Wave for breakfast then catch a few FPs at MK. End the evening packing and eating dinner at Sanaa. We have had a great trip now reality has to come back but it's all good we will be back in Oct and Dec
 


Silly question I probably know the answer to. Do you think any WDW DVC would have availability for Dec 18-23/24 of THIS year? Studio or 2 bed.

Aren't you going to stand in the 4 hour line for Flights of Passage Jimmy? Or the 3 1/2 hour line for the 4 minute River Ride? :faint:

I'd think SSR could have at least a 2BR.

Thanks! Realized we may have a chance to get away before Christmas due to daughters school schedule. Don't expect to find anything at Wilderness but would be nice to stop by for a visit and see the decorations.

Question for my knowledgeable fellow Disney lovers:
Back in the day there was a web address that I had bookmarked where some fellow Disney lover would list the schedule of any Disney related tv shows that were on TV. It included travel channel shows and the like. We recently changed from direct TV to Uverse and I never seem to find anything on the search feature of Uverse. Is there nothing on anymore? Or am I just missing it? Summer is here, I need my Disney fix!

I had recently been thinking that I wasn't running into the Disney movies that TCM had been showing periodically after they took sponsorship at GMR so I looked just now - June 2nd they'll be having movies from the Disney vault in the evening. Summer Magic and Pollyana both with Hayley Mills, a few shorts, and a couple other movies I don't think I've seen - Hacksaw and The Horse Without a Head.

Thank you all for the very warm welcome. We absolutely love the resort. We're from Michigan and the whole place has a very up north vibe which is so welcome after long days of craziness at the parks. We felt right at home during our first stay (rental points).

Thank you for the tip on maximizing that 11 mo window. This is our first DVC contract and will need to learn the ropes for sure.

Wow! Almost every time we go into the parking lot I have thought how it could never be filled! It has to be a record day for AK. :eek:

I just checked the dates Dec 18-24 for availability on the Resort Availability Tool on the member website. As of this moment, you could book all of those dates at:

2 bedroom
SSR both preferred and standard 2BR
OKW both Near Hospitality House and regular 2BR
Polynesian 2BR Bungalows

Studios
SSR both preferred and standard studios


That's it. Of course, some could book up by tomorrow. And others may free up due to cancellations but you have to think there are waitlists sitting out there to grab those up.

Definitely stop by WL for the decorations if you do go!
 
WELCOME bernina and tinkerbellybutton!! :welcome:

bernina - does you user name have anything to do with a sewing machine? Several of us here recognize our machines as family :rolleyes1

JT- I've thoroughly enjoyed your photos and commentary. Hi to the family!

Thank you for the warm welcome! And yes, Bernina is after the sewing machine my MIL loved. She loaned it to me for a few projects and I've always loved the name.

Thank you so much for doing that!! I doubt our membership will be active for at least another 30 days. If something is available at that time then it will be meant to be. If not, more points for a 2018 trip :)

Not aware of any website with the listings, but it would certainly be a big boon. If you mean those episodes where they show some aspect of Disney --"Behind the Scenes" or "Undiscovered Disney Parks," et.al.--then to be fair, we've not seen anything new in the past couple of years, just repeats. We've recorded them in the past, and we occasionally will watch one when we get jonesing for Disney. So, when they've popped up again (nothing in the past several months), they've not changed.
 
Glad I could help out Diane! Since I found out how to post pics via phone that certainly has helped to make my posts a little more entertaining
