VWL Groupies & Lovers Thread (Special Collectors Edition 2.0) updated 21 June 2023





I don't have much to say today, but I love reading about your trips to WL. 18 days until we step into the lodge, so I'm happy about that. Going to Kidani for one night followed by SSR for 5 nights followed by VWL for 6 nights. My poor cat will hate me when we get home. She'll be well looked after, but she won't have me to pester in the middle of the night.
 
Now that we are back from our trip I am going to post a few post trip pics and thoughts over the next week or so.

Due to plane tickets going sky high I, we went down on Saturday 11/7 instead of Sunday and spent the night at the AoA in the Cars section. We had a late flight and didn't get to the resort until about 10:30pm. The outdoor areas were amazing at night and we all loved the details. We had one suitcase that we didn't tag for DME and picked it up from the carousel and then requested the resort to not deliver the tagged luggage to the room. We grabbed some pizza, salads, and drinks from the food court and had a late snack back at the room. The room looked nicer in person than the pictures on-line. After being spoiled by the lodge I couldn't imagine spending the whole trip there though.

Below is a picture of the 2 youngest kids. In the picture you will see "Queen" which is the youngest's must have stuffed animal, not to be confused with Popo that took a wild adventure through the Disney laundry system.

 

I realized today that my house is slowly turning into the Wilderness Lodge... I asked my DH today if we should put some mouse antlers up in the fireplace and he said no. I did see an iron class moose bell I want though for the wall.

I think they keep the decorations up until about January 10 or so? Seems I've been there at that time and they were still up. In any event you should be good with January 4 I should think.

Wilderness Lodge can have that affect...and the theming fits so well with this time of year.

Not sure what "mouse antlers" are??? Sound like something Gaston might decorate with. :)

Where did your tagged luggage go if not to the resort?

It went to the resort, but we didn't have it delivered to the room since we were transfering to VWL the next day. We couldn't get everything that was needed for 1 night in our carry on luggage so we left one checked bag untagged so we could pick it up. I called several times and tried to convince them to deliver of bags to VWL instead of AoA since they would just need moved the next morning. I didn't win that fight. Even though we had our rooms assigned when we got to AoA I stopped at the front desk and requested that the bags were to be stored and not delivered and also put out the do not disturb sign on the door so they didn't end up at our room at 2 am by mistake.
