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

OMG....this is confusing to me. I am hoping when we have our meet, someone will explain!:worship:

Hello Groupies, I just came across this blog article and thought some of you might enjoy this:

Looks like there are "themed" drinks available at the pool bar. I am putting themed in quotation marks as the theming is more in the name than in the ingredients of the drinks.

My favorite drink at the Trout Pass bar is the original Lumberjack. I continued to order it even after Disney homogenized the drink menus and the bartenders were always willing to make it for me. In fact, they seemed delighted to be asked to make one of the old WL signature drinks. While I couldn't tell you what was in the drink, I recall that the original Lumberjack had a whiskey float on top and that is not mentioned in the food blog's description. I wonder if it is in fact the same drink as the original Lumberjack. I hope so!
 
Of course, in addition to wanting to try out those drinks, I am also curious as to whether Trout Pass will survive in its current location. I suppose it all depends upon what the new beach building becomes. It's hard for me to fathom having two pool bars situated so close to each other since each would require staffing, obviously, and staffing is something Disney has been cutting for years now. Stay tuned. . .
 


Good Monday Morning Groupies!
I've been reading the last few pages trying to get caught up.....

Once again, I've missed Muush dropping in. I'm so sorry to hear about your 4-legged family member. Our pets have a way of imprinting their paw prints on our hearts. I'm so sorry to read of the passing of your Lucy. Hugs to you and Mr Muush.

Have a good week!

When I was still drinking (hard), I thought the service at trout pass was slow. So I tried to keep a stool at the side closest to the geyser. If I was in able to suggest anything to management, I would say that the more staff the better. Since I no longer imbibe, I don't nearly care as much as I used to.

I'm concerned for Trout Pass. If the new building doesn't have a bar location then it'll survive but I think that's unlikely, other than it isn't right at the main pool. This is another new territory for a resort, isn't it? With 2 pools of similar size being so close to each other? And with new Hidden Springs having the zero entry and perhaps a larger hot tub? Otherwise I can see them doing something like expanding bathrooms at Trout Pass if the building survives although I guess if they are doing some at Hidden Springs that wouldn't happen either. At least the building is still there on the plans for now. :(

Good points. Hard to say what they'll do, though I've got a bad feeling about TP. Yeah, that new zero entry is going to attract a lot of folks, I suspect, which in turn might mean no more quiet pool area. One of the things I enjoyed about the Hidden Springs pool was that it didn't have a real "wow" factor, just simple bubbles and a slightly isolated vibe. I'm not expecting that with the new pool. Now, for a name for the new pool. I'm thinking Snaggle Rock Falls, or Rocky Horror Springs, Water Tumbling over Faux Boulders Pool, or Gurglerator Swamp. pirate:

I personally like Gurglerator Swamp!

Looks like another job (for those of us who refuse to start calling our home anything other than VWL, mostly all of us here, and we have the numbers)for us to do. Keep the riff raff out of our quiet pool area. We can take turns whilst staying at the VWL, standing guard at the pool and keeping it quiet and peaceful as we once knew it be.:D
In between shifts, we bring in real live Moose and Bear to stay on alert. We train them in what to look for(All with a look of love and peace and joy in their hearts for the place), in touch with the place, almost as one in unity with the peace and serenity of the Lodge as a whole, leave be. But for those who otherwise make lots of noise, run em to the Lake!
And I feel a proper uniform for us would be that of a Canadian Mounty, or a Ranger in the Rockies. Anyone care to join me? :crazy:

I can hear it now.....

"I'm heading out to the WToFB pool!"

"Going out for a swim in the swamp!"

"Let's go sit out by the Gurglerator!"

:rotfl2:
 
Getting in one last shout out to Villas at Wilderness Lodge before the craziness starts and the alias begins.

And I'm just letting people know that I have no intention of posting on a BRV Lovers and Groupies thread if anyone starts one! There, I said it. I'm being immature about this one! :rolleyes2
