Hi everyone! I have been reading all of y'all post from the old VWL groupie pages. I have meet some of y'all at VWL meet & greets in 2009 & 2011. I'm trying to break out of my shell of shyness. My mom is Kathy aka twokats.

Since the latest two mini-meets (very "mini" ) were posted on the last page of the last thread, I thought I'd post again here...and looking forward to many more pictures of meets to come!

A couple of pictures from our current trip....


Here's Granny and horselover, hanging out in EPCOT...

And here's Maria and Granny, hanging out at...well, I think you can guess.

Just closed on my purchase last month. I already booked two vacations: July 7-14 in a 1 BR and Dec 21-28 in a Studio.

We have a 3 year old and 1 year old so we'd prefer a 1BR but the point cost at Christmas is so high we are doing a studio to save on points.

I'm totally looking forward to riding the boat to MK!

Welcome to JasonKat! Another KAT!!! Can't have too many of those.
Welcome home and welcome to the Groupies thread 7.0? Is that about right?

Hi Kati! Any daughter of Twokats is a daughter of ours! Welcome and please visit often.

 

[wildernessDad]

Nice new digs! I think I'll hang out here a while.

 

[horselover]

Welcome Kati!

Granny - thanks for posting the pic of our mini meet! I thoroughly enjoyed strolling Epcot with you & your lovely DW!

Sadly I missed Maria again. One of these days the stars will align for us to meet.

Thanks for starting a new thread JT & Kathy!

 

[bluecastle]

Don't think I have ever subscribed and then posted to a new thread so fast before! Thanks for a wonderful thread (one of two that I read almost everyday- Kook's being the other one)

Snow day today! More time for Disney and villa dreaming!

 

[bagsmom]

Although our trip is still a few months away, I make lists and plans to entertain myself!

We will be bringing a LOT of stuff with us. It sounds like we will have to park quite a ways away from the villas. I am not at all comfortable with having a castmember help us haul our junk in.

What do you folks usually do when you'll be staying quite a while and have a ton of stuff? We'll have 2 or 3 coolers, boxes of food, luggage, air mattresses, lots of bottled water -- I feel like we'll end up bringing the whole house!

I read somewhere that it's a good idea to bring a hand truck!

Any ideas? What do you guys do? Just make a gazillion trips till it's all in and call it a workout?

What a great question! My DH hates lugging all our stuff a long way and I didn't think about the fact that the villas don't have a separate breezeway entrance. Can't you just use that entrance and wheel all your stuff through the lodge and out the door over to the villas? I am anxiously awaiting answers to your question too! ( we are also driving and making a stop for supplies)

We always manage to have a ton of stuff, for 2 .

Since the valet manage to squeeze tips for 2 instead of one, and being the frugal bugger that I am, this is what we do.

We have 2 very large suitcases. We always bring those up first along with other stuff.
Then we empty them in the room and head down for the rest of the stuff. And yes, it is a workout!

Well I guess you could.

But it seems like it may be a little more work (further) than parking in that very first area closest to the breezeway to VWL.

We usually give over our suitcases to the bellhop staff, as well as any supplies that can't sit in a hot car since rarely is our room ready when we arrive. Anything that can survive in the car until we physically check into our room, usually sits there until we feel up to retrieving it. We always park at the closest parking lot to the bus stop--the one where the taxis sit--then when we do haul any extra items to our room, we beeline for the bus stop and use that breezeway as a shortcut of sorts to get to our room. In other words, we don't follow the sidewalks exactly. Considering the number of miles we log in the parks on any given visit, the distance from the lot to our room doesn't seem overwhelming to us.
