And the exclusive set is ... #10217, "Diagon Alley", a Harry Potter set.
Posted by bluemoose,The timing of the announcement isn't what we were expecting, but the set is now public ... the new exclusive set for Jan 2011 is a Harry Potter-themed set based on the "Diagon Alley" location from the books & films. The set features three seperate buildings and eleven minifigs.
We've been given the full press-pack by LEGO, which features a large number of hi-res images; due to being deployed to GWLS, network access is limit, so we'll have to post the images later.
The Press Release reads -
10217 – Diagon Alley™
Ages 14+. 2,025 pieces.
Expand your very own wizarding world of Harry Potter™!
No need to pass through the Leaky Cauldron. Now even Muggles can shop in Diagon Alley by building this fantastically magical set that includes 3 extensively detailed buildings and 11 minifigures! Join Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger as they shop for their Hogwarts school supplies. Visit Ollivanders, Borgin and Burkes, and Gringotts Bank. Each Diagon Alley building is realistically detailed. Ollivanders offers an extensive selection of wands, storage shelves and a step ladder that allows Ollivander to gather wands from the top floor. The front desk has an "exploding" function for those inconvenient times when a spell goes awry. Borgin and Burkes includes a scary skeleton, "glow-in-the-dark" elements, a fireplace attached to the Floo Network and a Vanishing Cabinet that Dark wizards might use to sneak into Hogwarts. Gringotts Bank is an impressive two-story building with large double doors, and can be opened completely into one large building or closed to create one smaller building. The bank's interior features a removable vault, along with the Philosopher's Stone, a clerk's desk, a chandelier and 'wonky' support pillars. Includes 11 minifigures: Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, each with magic wand; Rubeus Hagrid, equipped with his pink umbrella; Fred and George Weasley; 2 Gringotts goblins; Mr. Ollivander; Lucius Malfoy (with Death Eater disguise); Fenrir Greyback; and 4 new, decorated owls.

Nice, this is a wan a have for me. My wife just asked me the other day what to buy for Christmas, well here's an answer. :)
I hope it's better than Town Plan! I can't wait untill it's avalible, and I can't help but wonder how it will look next to the Castle Market Village and Hagrids Hut. Thank you LEGO for making this set!
P.S. Why are Hagrid's and Luicius Malfoy's heads floating?!?
@Murdoch17 - Luicius has extra hair for when he is not wearing the hood. As for hagrid's head I think thats a mistake
O_O LEGO are out-doing themselves! This looks AMAZING!!! A bit weird though; a HARRY POTTER Exclusive set? Strange...
Yes, i was right all along!!! :-)
@Alemas, This set was also a Harry Potter exclusive. I agree it's odd, but that dosen't mean I don't like it!
This May be The Best Set Ever! And We're Finally Getting a Fred & George! :')
This is pretty neat! We just returned from the Lego Store and picked up Hagrid's Hut and a magnet set with Hermione, Dumbledore and Harry Quidditch. They also had the 3 new Halloween sets and a very cute turkey. AND they had 10199 Winter Toy Shop again. Good! Now I can return the one I got at Toy's R Us in NYC for $80.99 (yikes!)
This set is absoulutly amazing, It has amazing detail and is a must have for fred and george too. £133 is not bad compared to the others.
Wow! This looks absolutely amazing. Now I can't wait for this one in addition to all the other HP sets coming in the mail for me now that they have been officially released by Lego U.S. S&H!
Super excited for this set!!!!
Hi, quite new to Brickset - how would I get hold of this set? where will it be available from? cheers
Thats great! But i was kinda hoping for a new modular building... o well.
@Natotron1979, You can buy it directly from Lego Shop at Home on January 1st. Here's the link: http://shop.lego.com/ByTheme/Product.aspx?p=10217&cn=672
Looks good. Seems like it has some nice building techniques too.
I'm stoked about the part colors and minifig count. I guess Warner bros doesn't ask for a huge licensing mark up fee thus the reasonable price (I said reasonable)
It looks so awsome! I think it's a MUST HAVE!!!! I'm going to save some money to get this one when it comes out!! And I also think this set will be an awsome addition to EVERY LEGO CITY you're building on!! This model ROCKS and it looks like it's going to be one of my favourites next to the Eiffel Tower, the Ferrari 1:9 and the Tower Bridge which I'm also trying to get.
All in all: I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE DAY WHEN LEGO IS GOING TO RELEASE THIS MODEL!!!!
Finally, they made Fred and George! I was going to make them with the same head, but this set's minifigs are better. I wonder if the goblins will have printed eyes. They've been doing printing on alot of stuff now, like owls, Dobby, and mice. I hope they do it on those goblins.
:0 Speechless.
It would have been cool if they had brought out something to do with Halloween instead of harry potter but its still cool
This is quite cool. If only I had that other set that Lego sent out years ago which were two other Diagon Alley sets to go along with this! Bah... like I have the money.
Lovely Surprise! Added to my list
....that looks sweet!!!
Minifig051 - which mice have printing? I have all 6 HP sets. Neither of mine have printing.
Legoboy12345678 - this isn't out now, it's just a unveiling.
Codysims - don't sweat it, those older sets you mentioned wouldn't have looked good with this anyways. They were too small.
aaaaaah omg omg so awesome
Hey I Didn't See The Price! Hmm...$150 Isn't That Bad. I Think I'll Skip The Castle and Just Get This.
Woohoo! I practically jumped out of my seat when I saw this, I was hoping they'd do some more Harry Potter as I've liked the new sets I've bought so far (especially Hogwarts and the Burrow), and this one looks amazing, it'll look great with my Medieval Village too, the tavern will make a perfect 'Leaky Cauldron'.
Can't wait til January for this one, am seriously considering asking my family and friends for Lego gift cards for Christmas this year so I can buy it easily! Compared to the other Harry Potter sets this one looks to be pretty good value for money, and a good selection of figs, I've always wanted a Fred and George.
Definitely a set for my most wanted list!
Hooray! Lego are finally doing justice to the Hatty Potter theme. I remember being excited when the first wave of Harry Potter sets were released back in 2001. Especially since you could combine the sets together. But I was disappointed with the subsequent releases as TLG kept making similar sets, with mediocre minifigures for the next 6 years.
Finally we are getting what we want. Kudos to the people who designed this set.
I was just about clinically depressed when they didn't have Fred and George in the first group of sets... YES! When I saw this on Eurobricks an hour or so before I saw it here, I was SO psyched! Still am!
1. With just this set and the Burrow, you have all the Weasley's that they've made! and Percy wouldn't be hard to make, and probably not Charlie or Bill... just add a couple berdrooms to the top of the Burrow and your good to go! :)
2. Harry, Ron, and Hermione, ALL in Plainclothes! Although they used Ginny's Jacket for Hermione, I'm willing to forgive them since it's so cool
3. The Vanishing Cabinet is just a cool effect that, if you're a Harry Potter fan to just about any degree, makes you want to get both this and the castle.. Well done with that, Lego!
4. Olivander! He's just too cool a guy. And his wand shop is awesome!
5. Gringott's is just amazing! The slanted pillars look great and add that magical effect. The two Goblins are a bonus: Griphook!!
Just to be clear, we received the official press pack from Lego two days ago, with a strict embargo not to reveal any of the information until 5pm GMT yesterday, which we honoured. We did not 'rip off' any other sites, and any accusations of such are really very insulting to all of us that work on this site.
Very impressive set, and quite a shock to a Harry Potter set as the exclusive set. If there's a custom mould for Hagrid's umbrella, it might be worth getting just for that!
@Topsy Cret, It's just 2 cones and a white magic wand.
*COUGH* I think I broke the news first ;-): http://www.brickset.com/news/article/?ID=908 I wasn't "in the know" I just found it on the Lego website.......
OMG - I HAVE TO GET THIS! Got all the other sets ready for a "Harry Potter Xmas" so it's a shame this isn't out before then.
One of the best sets legos released lately (going by looks anyway) but £140 is an excessive amount...
This is so cool. Pity they didn't make Fred and George's joke shop. :(
For those who wisches to see more photo's off the set, go to:
(it's not my account but found the photo's and maybe make some people happy with it. )
such a kuhl looking set but seriously how am i meant to afford all these new sets? its not going to happen! )o:
I don't find it suprising in the least that LEGO is taking advantage of the hype for the final two HP film installments and released 6 new HP sets this month (I'm crossing my fingers for excellent sales to hopefully inspire future summer sets for next year); the LEGO Harry Potter video game sold 2.7 million units as reported for the 2Q (second quarter) for Time Warner boosting profits; who knows how many have sold in 3Q... an exclusive set is freakin' AWESOME.
It's about time we get additional HP sets, quality ones since the HP LEGO freeze after the 5th film, which spit out only one new set. And to me, minus the Graveyard set of HP4, those were lackluster sets. I do miss the 'greyer' castle sets and feel; but the new Castle set has won me over.
I too was upset with no Hermione 'weekend garb' outfit for the new sets; however, this completely rectifies it for me; the set looks outstanding. And, I can completely overlook the fact that Hermione is indeed wearing Ginny's clothes... BUT, they are good friends (and now sister-in-laws), so I'm sure they borrow each other's clothes. ;D
Although the older Diagon Alley sets are 'out of scale' to the newer ones; the Quality Quidditch Supplies store was amazing for it's size and price. I'm still smacking the set up against these larger ones... and if there's one gripe... Bergin & Borkes is technically part of Knockturn Alley... but, I only jest. I'll take it.
And the price??? Can stud collectors do math? 2052 pieces for $150??? Usually 100 studs cost roughly $10, so a set like this SHOULD cost at least $200; not to mention 11 minifigs??? Let's put this into perspective; the new Kingdoms Advent Calendar, although seasonal, has only 167 pieces... worth possibly $20 at most... but has 9 minifigs so they boost the SRP to $35. $150; Yes please.
I just saw this all set up at the great western lego show!!! They didn't make abig thing of it - it was tucked away towards the back of the hall :( The colours are really cool and when I walked past it I didn't realise it was harry potter! The new pillar pieces are great, they're regular 2x2 cylindrical bricks but corrigated round the edges!
these new january release sets, start showing up in stores, in november
@Racer73 Sorry, I give you full credit. I didn't check that thread.
@R4-G9 Are you sure? This is an exclusive. If it does though in the UK this could be a very HP Christmas for me!!!
We can see on the Bank building, news round bricks for the entrance pilars.
@Legoguy29: I saw in the catalog that the grey mouse that comes with Hagrid's Hut had a little black speck for an eye. It could have been just a shadow. But I don't think so because the same mouse was pictured bigger on the cover and that was definetly printed on. Maybe they didn't print them on the first batch of sets.
If you look at peter1987's link, you will see that a skeleton in one of the shops. So if you count them as a minifigure you have 12 minifigures!! Of topic, does costco sell lego now??
my wallet is officially dead :)
Well, I really love this set! Therefor I've searched on the internet for even more pictures.
If you follow the next link, it'll give you a good few off all the minifigs. Check it out!!
R4-G9, how exactly does that makes sense what you said. If they're a January release, meaning next year...3 months away, explain how they show up in stores in November...before they're released?
Minifig051, hmm... I didn't notice the black mark, I'll have to take a look.
Lego publish an official 'release date' for new sets, which is 1st Jan 2011 for this set. For many sets, the 'shelf date' can be several months before the official release date, but the 'release date' will normally be when LEGO start promoting the sets. For Lego 'Direct' sets, which this is (any set in the 10xxx series is a 'Direct' set), the 'release date' & the 'shelf date' are normally the same, or at least within a day or two of each other.
I was surprised when TRU didn't put up the HP legos until Friday the 1st. Lego must have had something to do with it. When the Star Wars stuff came out they (TRU) had them on the shelves weeks before the release date.
Poter sets are out at target
If you look at the box, it only has 10 minifigs when they promote it as having 11, and technically there are 12. Weird.
Finger 2314: It's just because hagrid is not on the picture. (but we can see him on the box.)
@finger2314: I can explain why. The box shows only one of the goblins, and the text below probably says "Goblin 2x", which means there are 2 of the same one. Also, they don't count the skeletons as minifigs if they're just for display, like in that Atlantis portal set. So the official minifig count is 11.
@tontonsega: He knows Hagrid's not in the picture. It shows only 10 on the box and just Hagrid's head is there in the other picture, but the description says he's included (that's 11). The skeleton technically makes it 12, but he doesn't count.
I was a little upset with myself when I didn't get the Town Plan set. Diagon Alley looks great and again Lego has gone out of their way to make another epic looking scene. Of course paying the Canadian price is like losing your arm, so I'll hunt this set down in the United States. I'm impressed, so I'm buying this set.
Lego has also done a great job creating a variety of Harry Potter minifigs... unlike the early themes where I'd get ten of the same minifigure! Harry Potter should never outnumber my Storm Troopers!
Darn you, LEGO! I have worked hard (with plenty of help :-D) to get custom figs (including Fred & George) and build MOC sets of the Burrow, Infirmary, and a bridge for HP! And now they have many of the things I just listed! :O
Thanks for posting all of this up BlueMoose! All the pics really give ya' a good sense of the models. Plus that LEGO TV spot too.
A fine set...now from what you're sayin'...'maybe' it'll be on the shelf before Xmas?...or at a LEGO store perhaps before New Years?
I doubt it will be out before Christmas, but there's an outside chance it'll appear in LEGO Brand Stores between Christmas & New Year.
@jonbuddy I have just bought a £100 ish PAB and BL selection of parts to make HP figs and now lego have brought most of them out :( I wish they'd finish the job they started too with:
Beaubatons Carrage
Grimmauld Place
Room of requirement with DA members
Ministry of Magic
St Mungos
Weasley's Wizard Wheezes
Slughorn's class
The Cave
Dumbledore's Murder.
A tent scene at the forest of dean with a silver doe
Wedding at the Burrow
Shell Cottage
Malfoy Manor
The Battle of Hogwarts with ALL teachers and most students and Hagrid and GRAWP,
The Forbidden forest with Voldemort and LOTS of death eaters(and centaurs).
Three Broomsticks
Platform 9 3/4
Madam Malkin's Shop
(I've been writing that list for weeks!!!) I know I'm being unrealistic but it would be nice:-)
Nice new set for Harry Potter fans! I'll be getting the new Freeing Dobby set (4736) when it's available here.
that set looks awsome !!!!!

A study done in 2006 by the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology shows that 24% of Americans between 18 and 50 are tattooed; that's almost one in four. The survey also showed that about 36% of Americans age 18 to 29 have at least one tattoo.
If you're a parent, chances are at some point your child will come to you and say, "I want to get a tattoo."
It usually happens somewhere after the weird hairstyle, crazy piercings, and the words, "Can I take the car?"
If you don't mind the idea of your child permanently marking their body, read no further. If you're opposed to the idea however, you may want to consider the following steps on how to talk your teen out of getting a tattoo.
1. Remain calm. Try to avoid screaming things like, 'over my dead body' and 'have you lost your mind?' or the ever-popular, 'as long as you're living under my roof you'll do as I say.' Those phrases are ineffective and over-used.
2. Gross them out. Lie if you have to.
"A tattoo, why not? Your Grandmother, Uncle Richard, Aunt Mable, and my friend Rita all have them." Describe their tattoos in detail and precisely where they are on their bodies. Use your imagination. Just be sure to paint a pretty picture, one they'll visualize and have nightmares about later.
3. Instill fear. "Yes, as long as I can go with you. I want to make sure they properly sterilize the needles. You don't want to contract any horrible disease." No one wants to get sick, and even more, no teenager wants their mommy or daddy going with them to the tattoo parlour. Google Tattoo Procedures with your child the bloodier the better. Read health risks related to tattoos and be sure to check out Tattoos Gone Bad.
4. Threaten to embarrass them."Yes! I've been thinking about getting a tattoo on my forearm for a while now. We can go together! Your friends will think you have the coolest Mom." Teenagers don't want their parents to be cool. They want them to be invisible.
5. Mess with their minds. Offer a solution for a tattoo they regret. "Sure, get one. If you don't like it you can always have it removed." As they smile and hug you, add, "I read you can have it removed for anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars, depending on the size of the tattoo. The procedure almost always works and only takes three to six visits. They say it's like having a baby, you'll forget about the pain eventually."
6. Use reverse psychology."I think a tattoo's a great idea! You should go today." This response will surely send your teenager into a tailspin. They'll become confused and nervous and will stop to re-think their decision. Since when do you agree with them on anything?
7. Resort to bribery.
"I'll pay you three times the cost of the tattoo, if you don't get one." Let's face it, money talks.
I hope you've found these suggestions helpful. But should you fail to change your child's mind and they walk in one day sporting a tattoo, recall step one:
Remain calm. Then hug them and love them anyway. There are worse things in life than a tattoo.
One changed color every week. The other one had a collection of colored streaks--purple, blue, and orange. They had short cuts, long cuts, mohawks, dredlocks, you name it. She encouraged them to get their crazy out with their hair.
And both her girls made it to 18 without tattoos.
(I'm very happy that both my kids are still deathly afraid of needles).
Fun post. I think you've got it under control.
second best: embarrassment...
fear, gross out? works temporarily only.........
oh but huggin and lovin yer ink inscribed offspring
is best...that will definitely be good later,
when they are getting their youthful
indiscretions removed, at age 60,
when u are long gone.........
"mom knew best!"
my dead mother tells me this is the best thing about being dead,
when yer kids realize this basic truth of the universe.

Back To School Blues: A Family Affair
By GalTime .com
By Jennifer Powell-Lunder, Psy.D. for GalTime.com
It is hard to believe the summer is passing or, for some, has passed by so quickly. Few things surpass the initial excitement of going back to school. The backpacks are, or will soon be, packed, the notebooks are organized, and pencils are sharpened to a fine tip as if anxiously anticipating their first use. The first couple of days back to school always seem to breeze by without a wrinkle. Just as the school year routine seems to be getting under way, however, it is not uncommon for both kids and parents to feel a change in mood; a let down after that initial beginning of the school year energy boost.
While for most folks the summer symbolizes rest and relaxation, back to school can serve as jolt back the reality of routine life. As the first school weeks pass, it is not uncommon to feel as if the outside world is gaining momentum, spinning fasting and with more force. School season represents commitment and activity, often-increased stress because there never seems to be enough time.
Parents and kids may experience the back to school blues for different reasons although, there are more similarities than one might think.
- Back to routine
- Miss summer friends
- Frustrated with homework
- Pressure of balancing school, work, & after school commitments (activities, sports, etc.)
- Miss having time to relax
- Regrets about what did not get to do over the summer (special activities)
- Back to routine
- Miss having kids at home
- Restart of homework struggles with kids
- Pressure of getting kids where they need to be before and after school
- Miss having time to relax
- Regrets about what didn't get done over the summer (special tasks)
In order to successfully push through this common set of blahs it is important to acknowledge that they exist. This can be especially challenging if you and your kids are feeling down. How can you tell if you and/or your kids are experiencing the blues? Here is a list of some common signs:
RELATED: Spending Time Together Like You Mean It
- Feeling irritable or annoyed
- Feeling sad and/or sensitive
- Feeling tired
- Eating more or less than usual
- Sleeping more or less than usual
- Disinterested in activities that you typically enjoy
- Isolating from others
If you and your kids can relate to at least a few of these symptoms, it is likely you have a bout of the blues. It is important to note that the back to school blues are directly associated with the start of school and usually resolve a week or two after the start of school. If you or your child has been experiencing these symptoms for a while, it is recommended that you talk to a professional counselor.

Dayton's Bluff, high above downtown Saint Paul to the west and the adjoining Swede Hollow, is among the capitol city's oldest neighborhoods.
Join us on October 11, as MNSAH member Aaron Rubenstein, a historic preservation and land use consultant leads us on a walking tour of this fascinating neighborhood, followed by optional self-guided tours or a group tour of Swede Hollow.
Dayton's Bluff is a local historic district, richly varied both now and historically in terms of social groups and housing stock. Below it, Swede Hollow, a small, now secluded valley, historically was the site of a tight-knit, immigrant settlement of small houses hugging Phalen Creek, without streets or utilities. Swede Hollow is now a lovely park, with only historic images to remind us of what once was.
The tour begins with an introductory presentation at First Lutheran Church, a rather ordinary Gothic Revival style building 1917 building. It does, however, feature extraordinarily beautiful stained glass windows dating to 1968, created by Conrad Schmitt Studios in Milwaukee. The presentation will include historical photographs of the neighborhood and hollow, before and after photos of rehabilitated houses, and artistic representations of Swede Hollow.
Then we'll meander through Dayton's Bluff on a walking tour lasting approximately 2.5 hours. We'll see small Italianate style houses of the 1870s, small and large Queen Anne and Eastlake-style houses, a range of other styles of houses including Craftsman and Colonial Revival, vernacular and eclectic, and the interiors of two historic houses. We'll also look at the social and historical context of Dayton's Bluff, its development and infrastructure, its evolution from large, 1870s estates, to a mixed neighborhood of grand and modest houses, and the current dynamic of using historic preservation to stabilize and rejuvenate the neighborhood.
In addition to seeing many vernacular and pattern book houses, as well as the City of Saint Paul's Fourth Street Preservation Project, we'll see buildings designed by local architects Augustus F. Gauger, Edward P. Bassford, Hermann Kretz, Reed & Stem, Adam Lansing Dorr, Edwin Radcliffe, and Max Toltz. The Dayton's Bluff walking tour is approximately 1.75 miles in length.
Following the conclusion of the Dayton's Bluff walking tour at First Lutheran Church, participants will have the option of self-guided tours or a group tour down into and through Swede Hollow Park. Some may choose to first have lunch at the Swede Hollow Café (located in Augustus Gauger's 1885/89 Stutzman Block), or walk across the hollow to Yarusso Brothers Italian Restaurant (founded 1933) on Payne Avenue and then wander the length of the hollow (approximately 15 minutes).
There are three ways to enter Swede Hollow: one involves descending 100+ steps located two short blocks from the church, another is via a short ramp on the opposite side of the hollow, and the third is via the Seventh Street Improvement Arches at the southern end of Swede Hollow—also a short walk from the church.
The Seventh Street Improvement Arches are a rare, technically demanding, double-arched structure constructed 1883-84 of buff-colored Kasota limestone. Its two tunnels or arches are both skewed, or angled, and of helicoidal, or spiral, construction, designed by engineer William A. Truesdell. Originally spanning railroad tracks, the arches today shelter a bike and pedestrian path. This impressive, yet easy to overlook, structure is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark.
Additional self-guided excursions in the immediate vicinity might include Hamm's Brewery, Mounds Park, and the Bruce Vento Nature Sanctuary.
$15 members, $20 non-members, $5 students.

Best resort for two couples?
Hello there - first time poster so please be kind!
My hubby and I have just returned from a fabulous holiday at Coronado Springs resort. Although not our first time to Florida it was our first time on site and we loved it. We are planning to go back to Florida with another couple in 2015 and the hubby and I are hoping to persuade them to stay onsite. Are there any resorts that provide accommodation suitable for two couples? We want to keep the cost down as much as possible but also there needs to be room for us to have our own space, so we want to avoid all four of us in one room if possible. Thanks in advance! |
Buying DVC points might be cheaper than rack rate but that will depend on the time of year, days of the week for the stay, and any discounts. Later, Dan |
We've done 2 bedroom units at OKW & BCV with friends & had plenty of room; a Full Kitchen, Family/Dining Area & most of all separate bedrooms. No way :sad2: would we book one room for both couples.
I think it would probably be best to book 2 rooms and ask to be near each other. You could book a 2 bedroom villa. It would probably be pretty expensive. If you know you won't cancel, you can save money booking with David's. http://www.dvcrequest.com/
If you are really good friends, you could book a cabin at Ft Wilderness. It is 1 bedroom and living room, with a full kitchen and grill. One couple in the bedroom and one in the living room. They have full kitchens so you could save money by preparing many of your own meals. (Gardengrocer.com delivers if you don't have a car.) |
2 rooms at the swan/dolphin could be good value for 2 couples. Between DS and Epcot and often available at good discount prices - sometimes equal to the price of a moderate but still very much a luxury resort. The location is awesome with lots of restaurants and night life.
The Arts of Animation Suites also has 2 separate sleeping areas, though one of them is a murphy bed.
I think it depends on how much you have in your budget. The monorail hotels might be a good choice, but they are the more expensive of the onsite options, however you might be able to book two garden rooms at the Contemporary. If this is not what you had in mind, then maybe two rooms at POR or CSR could work for you, since you already like CSR. Personally I love AKL and think this would be a fun place for two couples. As you can see from all the suggestions, there really are lots of great onsite choices.
Renting a 2 BR from a DVC resort is probably your best bet. You will have plenty of room, 2 bathrooms, a full kitchen, plus a washer/dryer in the room. Our favorites are the Boardwalk and Beach Club.
A studio at AKL/AKV is one room. A one bedroom suite has a bedroom and a living room for a total of two rooms. One of the couples will be sleeping in the living room. A two bedroom suite/villa has two bedrooms and a living room for a total of three rooms. When we have looked at having two studios vs a one bedroom the price in DVC points was the same. The OP asked for space for two couples so I think they would want a three room aka two bedroom villa which is going to be expensive. I just looked at DVC points for a date in OCT at AKV/AKL for five days. A studio aka one room is 48 points for standard view. A one bedroom aka two rooms is 100 points for stand view. A two bedroom aka three rooms is 124 points for standard view. They won't have much "space" in a one bedroom suite compared to just having two standard rooms and the price would be similar. The number of points needed will depend on the time of year and day of the week but it seems to take twice as many points, aka dollars, to rent a one bedroom compared to a studio. It might well be cheaper to rent DVC points for a three room villa compared to cash at a moderate but it would be cheaper to just rent DVC points for two studios. Later, Dan |
We stayed at a 1-BDR at the Boardwalk Villas with a 1.5 year old (relegated to the closet), my DW and I in the king bedroom, and my MIL and FIL on the easy pull out bed in the Living Room.
If you can deal with sharing the one toilet (separate sink areas), which was not an issue for us, I found those accommodations to be ideal. We stayed the week after Easter and Disney ran a 35% off rate through the website - so you didn't have to negotiate renting points. The other DVC resorts available for 1-BDR with the same layout were AKL, WL, SSR, and OKW. For some reason, I don't think Beach Club Villas were an option. In your case, you could split who gets which room - my in-laws preferred the separation from the toddler in the closet. Boardwalk rocked, by the way. |
At $14/pt the 2bdrm would be around $1700 for the five days in your example, which would be pretty comparable to the price of 2 mod rooms. 2 studios would cost about $400 less. But in the 2 bdrm villa you get a living room, full kitchen (instead of 2 kitchenettes) and washer/dryer (do all the 2bdrm villas have that? I've only stayed at OKW). If the price difference were manageable I'd take the 2bdrm over 2 studios any day. |

4. Shower together. Lots of fun can be had in a shower or on a bathroom floor or counter for that matter. Use your imagination.
5. If you are cramped in a tent, camper or other tight quarters and sex really isn't a possibility, at least make the effort to express sexual interest. Hold hands, occasionally passionately kiss, sneak away on a walk, or share a look that says, "I want you, even if I can't have you right now." Expression of desire is better than blatant indifference.
Only you know what will work in your unique circumstances. I encourage you to be intentional, plan ahead and get creative with your sexual intimacy.
Family vacations aren't just about building memories, they are about building a strong foundation for your family. That familial foundation finds its greatest strength in a solid marriage. Spouses honor each other and their children (and I personally believe it honors God) most by treating their marriage as sacred. Sexual intimacy and expression of sexual interest is powerful, not just at home but on vacation too.

Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week
Pros:This is a legitime and original Microsoft Xbox360 joystick, not a cheaper fake chinese version (although it does say made in China, but so my controller that came with the console does).
Price is much lower than you can find anywhere else, even more considering that you have free shipping :)
None I cant think of, really.
Packaging was not optimal (it came inside the standart DX yellow small envelope), but I don't really think this could be a problem.
It came in the same green plastic my console stuff came in. I have absolutely no doubt this is a original item.
Don't think twice, if you're looking for a game controller and buy it anywhere else, probably you're losing money!

Your door looks incredible! I spent two weekends of my life fiddling around with various finishes and techniques to get new poplar to match the original in my house, and while I'm proud of my results, I see I have barely scratched the surface. Thank you for the tip about the Bartley's. I will definitely try it. Does the Bartley's give a slight yellowing to the color tone the way polyurethane does? Because if you look in my first picture, you'll see that the molding framing the door has a yellowish cast when compared to the door itself. I was counting on my last clear coat to impart a bit of yellow to bring it all together, but if the Bartley's is really clear, perhaps I should do something else first. I'm curious because in your picture it looks like you used the varnish for the exterior side of the door as well. I've been looking for something to finish the front door of my house, which is in an enclosed front porch, but still, the exterior side is subjected to temperature and humidity extremes that might not be compatible with some interior finishes. Do you think the Bartley's would work in that setting as well? Thank you, again, from steering me clear of a disaster. I am looking forward to trying waterlox on bare wood, but you are right, a penetrating finish over sealer would be challenging. The more I learn, the more I realize I need to learn... :-) |

OK, so not Bartley's on my front door. I think I could keep up with the spar varnish. It's an east door, but because of its depth in the porch, doesn't get much sun per day. I think I'm good to go, but I'll post back if anything interesting happens. I think the Bartley's web site said I could tint their varnish by mixing in a bit of their stains, but I'm thinking I'll just do an intermediate stain step instead, to get that slight yellowing effect, so I don't have to worry about unintended color build up. And thanks for sharing your photos! Your door is an awesome example of what can be achieved with poplar. |

Luxi light meter: a good stocking stuffer for photographers
If you're looking for a good stocking stuffer for any photographers you know, you may want to consider the Luxi Light Meter.
Light meters are usually dedicated hand-held devices used by photographers to measure the amount of available light in the room. When the light hits a dome on the reader, a number is generated that allows the pros to adjust their photography equipment accordingly to capture the best possible picture. Normally light meters can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars, but the Luxi Light Meter is US$29.99. When combined with an iPhone, it gives photographers an affordable option to the pricey devices.
Extrasensory Devices, the company behind the Luxi Light Meter, raised more than $100,000 on Kickstarter earlier this year. The Luxi Light Meter attaches to your iPhone 5 or 5s by slipping over the top, where its diffusion dome covers the front-facing camera. The dome captures the light that is read by the companion Luxi app. Photographers can then use the reader's output to set their DSLR or other pro equipment.
The Luxi Light Meter isn't a gift for everyone. It's pretty pointless if you're just taking snaps with your iPhone. However, if you know any photographers that work with more professional equipment, the Luxi Light Meter may be just for them.
