I also recall Martin saying something about people in the company having copies of his stuff. But then again, I'm part of a vast, Disney-funded conspiracy to subvert WDWMagic.

I'm glad there are a few doctors left like you. I grew up with a doctor who actually made housecalls, who knew my family well, and who answered questions (and if he didn't know for sure, he would tell you so and would talk to someone who would know the answer). Unfortunately he passed several years ago, and my experience with medical professionals since then is more like this:

When my wife was in the hospital last fall for what we thought was a stroke, our family physician actually came to see her and check to make sure the other docs were communicating. One of the things we like about our local medical is if you remain within the "medical system" with your doctors, they are all notified when you are admitted into the hospital. It really impressed me.

System or not, always ask for the opinion of your doctor. No one in any hospital knows you better. If some hospitals refuse to notify your regular doctor, and some will especially if they are not in their "medical system", which basically means they are not covered by insurance, call your doctor yourself and let him know.

To be honest, I'm a colorectal surgeon, get screened once a year starting at 45 or you come see me.

Thankfully they are not tepees over water. The permit seems to be more like individual "cabins" in the woods.

So they're going to tear down the wilderness? Ugh.

If it weren't for this DVC industrial complex, it makes so much sense for them to bring back the Wilderness Junction idea as a moderate.

Some of it will definitely go. Based on the plans posted in the other thread it looks like a row of individual single story buildings directly along the waterfront on both sides of WL. There does not appear to be any units on the current sand beachfront area. There will obviously be a loss of trees where the new buildings go in, but they may not be highly visible from the actual WL if they keep the rest of the trees in place between the new buildings and the lodge itself. it will probably have more of a visual impact from the water approaching the lodge vs from the lodge looking out into the woods if that makes any sense.
Something along the lines of the treehouse villas in conjunction with Saratoga.

It seem likely that only a small number of current WL room's views will be impacted.
The plans call for the new cabins to the left of the boat dock at the top of the picture and to the right of the second boat dock fronting the DVC wing (red roof building). Here's a close up of the lodge:
The rooms facing into the middle of the U with pool views will have no impact. The only rooms which may be impacted are the wing at the very bottom of the picture above facing out. They may end up having a view of the new buildings.

Just placed this on the thread regarding the WL additional timeshare coming, but I won't likely discuss it there for long:
Very, very sad news. Even if I knew it was coming ... and told y'all.
The thing that makes the WL what it is is that feels like it truly is in the wilderness. I don't see how adding 26 waterfront cabins and accompanying structures and paved pathways is going to do this. I really think this flat out sucks ... especially as someone who just bought resale points at the current VWL in 2014 and has yet to even use them once.
Pretty soon, WDW is going to resemble much of FL: pavement, traffic and tiny little berms with shrubs and a few palm trees. The MK already feels like a Disney outlet mall with a few attractions.
So much for Old Dead Guy Walt's Blessing of Size.

Because Dr. Blondie's PhD still doesn't give her a clue that news dies on a Friday night (even in the Twit Age). Maybe because some lawyer didn't give them the OK until late. No idea.
But when you have a resort as stale at WDW and have to create events where you talk up everything from benches to cupcakes, you'd think someone would have had the brains to put the (largely) good news out and let people know.
And it won't have legs beyond forums like this and with the few Lifestylers who don't have the money to go to Anaheim next week. Because all the Disney news of next week will be coming from Shanghai and Anaheim and the Tomorrowland debut.
They killed the first good news they've had in a while. But the idiots who run that company are smarter than YOU. Just remember that!
I've said this since my first visit to DL back in 1990, when WDW was still wowing me all the time. The vibe at DLR is one of relaxed people enjoying themselves. It is sooooo different than the vibe I get at WDW. I can spend 12 hours at DL or DCA and leave relaxed and smiling. I can go to the MK for four hours one night and leave stressed and angry (I know, I should stay home so the lines will be shorter for everyone else!)

Yeah, I can't say this makes me happy. We love WL.
One of my happiest WDW memories of late is sitting on the balcony with Angie about 1 a.m. and watching the giraffes huddling below our villa because they didn't want the sprinklers (yes, just like they have in the wild of Africa!) to get them wet.
