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

[jimmytammy]

Welcome to the groupies luvindisneyworld!!!!
WL/VWL has a lot of activities around the pool that other resorts have now, and some of their own. Below is a link that shows it all. Also, they now have a campfire/movie every night. I cant say we take advantage of all the activities, but I have seen several people doing so. I hope the below will help clarify better than myself.

Here is a link to the current activities for this month

Happy Thursday Gang,
Nothing special going on today so to give us a little dose of magic. Here we go... Time to give our Disney Princes some love.

1) From what movie is Prince Phillip from?
2. From what movie is Prince Adam from?
3. Who are the three princesses in Mulan 2 that Mulan has to guard?
4. From what movie is Prince Eric from?
5. What is donald ducks full name?
6. From what Country was Prince Naveen from?
7. What was the name of the side kick who helped Hercules go from "zero to hero" and what was he?

Hope some thing magical happens to everyone today....

I feel like I should know more of these!

#7 is Phil the satyr. Don't know his full name.

And I read somewhere I think that Prince Adam is the Beast's true name from Beauty and the Beast. Could be off on that one though.

Here's a question. In the music from BATB, they sing "it's been ten years that we've been rusting..." and the Beast is nearing his 21st birthday. How come the painting of him shows a mature man instead of a ten year old boy???

Just a reminder to the new groupies...if you want to have your upcoming trips posted on the 1st page(and no, you dont have to be staying at the VWL, anywhere in Orlando area counts)then PM me your dates and where you are staying.

Also, PM twokats if you want to add your birthday or anniversary, as we love to recognize these on your special day(s)

I know there have been several new groupies who have joined us in the last few weeks and just wanted you know all this in case you havent seen the 1st page yet.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BLOSSOMZ !​

Happy Birthday Blossomz!!


Counting down here. About 19 days until OKW. Hoping the nice weather lasts. I would love 80 degrees since it is currently about 11 degrees in WI with a windchill dropping it lower than that. Everything is covered in ice from some nice freezing rain we had on Saturday night as well.

Have had a rough start to the new year. A co-worker committed suicide. I work in a small business run by a 2nd cousin of mine. Only 4 employees, the owner and the owner's Dad. The owner's Dad is the one who passed. So we have had a rough couple of weeks. Please keep us all in your prayers.

I've haven't been very active on the boards lately. Trying to avoid all the FP+ drama. LOL

Hope you are all doing well!

Nicoal13,
Remember we are here for you. Prayers are coming, I am sure from more than myself. Hang in there and join us when you can.

Thanks everyone for the warm Welcome... That helps out a lot, Do you know if June will have tie dye t-shirts?? They are begging to do that again I know that we can go to OKW for that if we have to.

Thanks again,
Misty

my home is SSR but with a quick trip they were booked so I jumped over to here and am really looking forward to my stay next week it looks so cool. Anyone got any suggests for me to check out while there?

Hello everyone! My name is Will Chriscoe (AKA wfc4life) from Reidsville, NC. Sechem32's husband, and friends of jimmytammy and TammyNC. I met some of you at the BLT meet-up on 12/8. I look forward to getting to know everyone better here on the DISboards.

Hi Will So nice to see you here on our little corner of the Dis! Welcome!

We have a vacation planned in June, we have 3 studios booked and a total of 10 of us.. We just bought back in, we sold a few years ago and regretted it so much and missed VWL.
On to my questions what are the activities at the resort for our family? Also we stayed at OKW in Sept and the kids in our party loved the pool activities in the afternoon, one in particular was making tie dye t-shirts.. Can someone feel me in on all this please.

Thanks.

The Lodge calls to all of us, too! WELCOME back!

WELCOME! The resort has so much to offer. Take time to sit in a chair in the lobby and absorb the energy. Take the Lodge tour - very informative. At check-in, ask if there is opportunity for you to be Flag Family - one family per day goes to the top of the Lodge accompanied by a ranger and raises the flags. Truly a wonderful and unique experience. This can not be pre-arranged: first come, first served. Listen to the music. Watch the geyser. Ride a boat over to the Magic Kingdom. This list will get you started. Others will chime in with addition suggestions.

SSR one of our home resorts, too. Surprising that they're booked.

I'm so sorry about your co-worker, so sad. Please visit often, if only just to say hi and send prayers my way.

I’m hoping someone will help me with a building/room request.

My family’s first stay at OKW. We will be in a 1BR for two days (we’re becoming epic split-stayers in an effort to stay at each DVC property), one of which is July 4th. July 4th I’m planning on us staying at the resort, perhaps going to DTD/DisneyQuest in the early part of the day – it would be nice to take the boat to do so (and I am assuming doable as it would be early in the day). We have a dinner ADR at Olivia’s on the 4th. We’ll have the kitchen stocked, so no need to visit Conch Flats or Good’s.

We will have our car, so proximity to a bus stop is not an issue. I think my boys will enjoy spending much time at the main pool, and we will walk if necessary (or drive, if possible).

I want a first floor room, to avoid climbing stairs, but am wondering if these rooms have the full size tables on their patios pictured in higher-level rooms.
Looking at the views, none appeals more than another.

Given my set of circumstances, are there any building requests I should make? Or just “ground floor” and “not “HH area”?

halld6479: Additionally, there is the movie on the beach, usually preceded by sumores around the campfire. Nearby, there are bikes or boats to rent, or you can walk over to FW via the main path leading out near the bus stop or along the nature trail that starts beside the bike/boat rental shack. FW itself has some cool activities. In the Villas lobby, there are game tables with checkers and the like. Enjoy!
