Bunnies and mooses and groupies, Oh my!!! The Wilderness Lodge groupies thread. 4.0

[eliza61]

Just a quick note to all of you up that have massive snow issues. How do you do it????? We just had 8" here in our part of Texas and I was a basket case. It was a record for us. I was in it all day Thursday and I was just so glad that we had warm enough temps before that there was not much road freezing at all. Anyway, I hope all of you that are snowed in stay warm and safe.

For the most part we're use to it but this has been a bit much even for the East Coast. It's been a while since we've had back to back major snow falls. So far we're up to almost 33 inches total.


Can you Name?

Each of the four Walt Disney world theme parks now has at least one 3-D film! Can you name them?

Of the four 3D films that eliza brought up, I think Mickey's Philharmagic is my favorite ! The scene where the magic carpet flies through the town is awesome ! I feel like I'm on the carpet !

Maria ---> another 2-4 inches of snow tonight....no, it's not much, but I've had way more white stuff in the past week than I can handle ! Wishing I was at the VWL right now !!!!

Just ended our 5 night stay at WDW in which 2 nights were at your beautiful lodge. I just wanted to say my DD8 and decided it was our favorite.

This first part of our trip was just for DD8 and Mom. It was real nice having time alone with my sweet little one. We had a studio that over looked the walkway on the third floor that was suited us fine. First night we had room service per quest of DD. It actually worked well. I got the ribs which ended up being two meals for me and she love the pasta. We sat on the balcony and ate even though it was rather chilly. A little pool action happened as well since I promised we could try. If you want the pool to yourself - go when it's in the 40's!! It was actually fine once you got in..... it was the getting out that was difficult.

Loved the great theming and location. The lodge imparts a special calmness to your soul that makes it special.

Woo hoo another convert! So glad to hear you enjoyed it & I couldn't agree more that VWL is good for the soul!

JT - question for you since you seem to be the driving expert. If I take exit 4 from MCO rather than exit 6 is there a grocery store nearby? Allears only gives locations for grocery stores if you're taking exit 6. 24 days & counting until BCV!! I know not the Lodge but still exciting!

Twokats I know I am not doing it very well!! It snowed again last night and I am quite grumpy over it! When I lived in El Paso when I was a kid we got about an inch of snow and it was quite a big deal.

So glad you enjoyed it and you sound like you would be a perfect addition to our friendly thread! Glad that you were able to experience what makes us love the Lodge so much.

Just wondering - Does it bother anyone else here when someone on another thread compares the Lodge to Great Wolf Lodge or am I just being overly sensitive?

Ahhhhhh, the soul of a Groupie indeed.
Please, feel free to grab our Moosie as a siggy. He loves it when you take him for your very own.

And if after a while, you like to hang with us, let us know your upcoming trips and birthday and we'll celebrate with you! Page 1

Nope, have not seen it, otherwise, yup!

Another Kindred Spirit
p.s. I love your location.

Someone said the following about the Lodge "it looks more like a Great Wolf Lodge on the inside, except with more fake painted wood"

Are you kidding me?!

I've never actually been inside a Great Wolf Lodge, but I can see where people might draw some parallels to WL. Here are some pix I was able to find on it:

And you just have to love the name of the restaurant there!!!

I guess this indoor water park resort chain could be a lot cheesier than the photos, but in general it does have some similar theming to WL. As for those who disparage WL, I just chalk it up to "different strokes" and am glad that we have fewer people competing for room reservations!

Those people do not have the discerning eye that we groupies have, obviously.

 

[Disney loving Iowan]

I guess mainly it was the way it was compared that bothered me. I think GWL looks nice but I can't believe it would have the character or atmosphere of the Lodge. I am just a bit biased though!

I am a convert already and haven't even secured my first VWL reservation yet! Thanks for all the info!

Well, ye of great faith....Welcome!
I notice that your sig is very sparse for decorations. I'll bet our Groupies Moose would look great on you!

Grab a rocker and sit with us a while. We love new converts!

DLI - did you get your Olympic Opening Ceremonies Hat? I guess lots of people really liked them and they sold out quickly.

They're now selling on ebay for $300-$400!

Silly me thought I'd get one if they were around $25 or $30.

I am indeed guilty of this.....it's not the same grandeur of the our Lodge for sure. But there is a "feeling" of the WL. It's my little piece of the WL/VWL here in PA. I've stayed once. It's def a WL copycat !
