VWL Groupies...yes, we love the Lodge!!

[jimmytammy]

What draws us in? Is it the sounds of crickets chirping, or the western style music playing ever so faint in the background, or the distant sound of a boat horn that comes to take us away to magical lands. Could it be the sights, like the vastness of the lobby as you first step in, or the spotting of early morning wildlife amongst the pines, or the flickering shine of lanterns to light our way at night. Still, maybe its the smells of a woodsy setting, or the aroma of BBQ on a campfire nearby. What draws you in?

Welcome to the VWL groupies! The original thread grew from a love of the Lodge, but it has become so much more than that. We all have a passion for the Lodge. Many of us own points there, several of us don’t. And it doesn’t matter. Our band of groupies has expanded in to much more than just Lodge talk. We try to stay on subject, but we have become so much more than just Lodge lovers, we have become friends. We are there for each other, an uplifting group. So join us! You will be welcomed with open arms.

Qoutes from fellow groupies:
You know you can always pull up a rocker and be at "the Lodge" blossomz
It is a matter of your heart, once a Groupie, always a Groupie! DiznyDad

Our honorary groupie, Ranger Stan. We love you and miss you

[Dizny Dad]

WOW! Here we go again! This is kind of like getting a villa that has just been refurb'd! Smells good, looks good, but has the same old friends as always!

THANKS to Jimmy and Twokats for stepping up to the plate to nurture us and taking care of the details we all appreciate.

See you all at The Lodge!

My family LOVES VWL.. I didn't know y'all had a groupie thread.
My parents have DVC here. My DH and I are taking our niece (7) and nephew (9) in June and we are staying in a studio. I'm super excited. I think I just may start following this thread!

 

[wildernessDad]

Thanks to jimmytammy and twokats for continuing this thread!

32 days to go until we walk into Jambo House, my second home away from home. VWL will always be numero uno. But we have a 5-year-old granddaughter in tow, her Mom will be working, so it will be fun if not hectic. Here's the lineup of who is going with us.

Me, DW, DS, DGD
Two friends (married of course)
My cousin and her husband and maybe their daughter (if she can get off of work) I should know definitely later today.

So the total will either be 8 or 9 in the GV. It should be fun, fun, fun!

Please do join us and as Muushka would say, grab a Moosie for your signature. He would look grand on you!!!

All I did was follow Jimmy and Tammy, but I think we coordinated it very well myself.

I hope (and I know Jimmy does too) that y'all enjoy this new thread just like we have enjoyed the previous ones!

Thanks, Muushka. I think we did that well also.

You are so welcome. I hope you enjoy your rest from the task and I hope I can do as well as you have in the past.

PM for birthdays and anniversaries will work. I will try not to miss too many posts in case they are listed in the thread, but I know PM's will get to me faster!!!

 

[DVC Jen]

We will always remember our beloved Ranger Stan
