Falling into the World

I'm here now, with a few days left on this trip. Some live reporting:

I love the Poly. Best studios in DVC. I considered buying some but I see availability seven months out.

There are some rude-ass people here and they mostly seem to be from South America. Sorry, just calling it like I see it.

It has been as hot as hell here. That usually doesn't bother me but it has been like an oven.

Mucho pictures to come.

I was debating booking the poly for next May today but decided on the boardwalk. Feel free to take a million pictures to talk me into it laugh

We will be there in January staying DVC. Glad you like it. I have heard a lot of nice comments about the DVC side.

The band that replaced Mo'rockin may be the worst thing I have ever heard. I was tempted to put my fingers in my ears when walking by but restrained myself out of courtesy. The lumberjack's chainsaws were more musical.

The room was very nice for a studio, although they get enough points for a 1BR at most other DVC resorts

and the view was magnificent

I love the poly, but I think Im more of a visitor than a guest. Overtime we have ever been there we have encountered the rudest and most entitled guests I don't think I could deal with them.... but that view.... is amazing

But you do only get a view like that through a telephoto lens. That's not how close it looks with the naked eye.

Do you believe the Yacht Club Lighthouse was unlit again for my whole stay. I honestly believe nobody at WDW even notices. To me it's a major feature of the Boardwalk area. It looks ridiculous unlit. I reported in to guest satisfaction and they called me back. Let's see how this plays out.

I don't remember if it was on when we were there for dinner. Actually, I don't think we even walked out there...

just catching up on your pictures they are just stunning!!!!

as for the lighthouse I can remember on one of our visits the lighthouse was lit because I remember pointing it out but I can also remember one night it wasn't lit too - it really does make a difference looks so beautiful lit!!!
