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

[Muushka]

Me too! Me too! Put me on the list! I can't believe I'm doing this...but...

We are booked on the Wonder for this August 3-8 for a 5 nighter.

Tomorrow is 7 months out and my guys want me to try to BLT..we'll see!

AND...My best friend and I are going on the WDW Radio Show Cruise on the Dream Feb 27, 2011!!!

Why yes, of course!!

Oops, sorry, but it is there now. I added the guy to try to make my tardiness up to you!

 

[blossomz]

Thank you!! Will check in tomorrow as soon as I know about our June trip!

 

[Muushka]

Speaking of tardy, lame, vacation dates keepers (AKA me!), while I am away (Nov 18 to Dec 6) can you lovely Groupies PM me the dates?

That would be fabulous!

Well today we made the reservations for cruise parking. We got a pretty good rate of $120 instead of $170 by my obsessive compulsive research! We are doing the MVMCP on the day we arrive at OKW and my friend from Jupiter (FL) is coming up and attending and staying the night with us. OWK for 5 days and then on the beautiful brandy new Equinox for 11 nights! Then a 50th birthday party for our dear friend Steve on Dec 4th in Jupiter and then home on the 5th. Then Mr Muush starts his new job on the 7th. Life is good.

Wow!! Sounds heavenly!!

I know you've been checking here all day for this. Well, here it comes!

Oh good WD! I have just started watching Lost on Netflix streaming for the first time and understanding the need to push that button every 108 minutes. WD VWL countdown by WD has slipped into that same category!

Oh WD, I will miss meeting you in Dec. Maybe next Dec!

 

[stopher1]

I put you in the Groupie Calendar. You are official!

Ahhhh Half Dome. You have to see that to appreciate it's majesty. I cannot believe I am saying this, but I would trade VWL for Yosemite in a NY minute.
Our secret! Any Ansel Adams fans out there???

Well that would have to be us... we have several framed prints of his photos in our guest bath, and one in our master bedroom too. Then there are several coffee table books, and a small postcard sized book of his prints. Wonderful stuff.

I have not been on this site in forever. I just wanted to say hi to all of you. I had a lot of reading to do to catch up.

We have tried online reservations for the first time last night. We are planning our first trip to the Lodge!! I am a little nervous I have never tried booking online before. Have any of you tried? We can't wait to see our other Home!

 

[blossomz]

OK..I'm officially jealous!

However...I called this morning and we got our 2 BR at BLT!! Our dates are June 13-18th!!! Muushka..please add me to the list!

Now I can relax...I've got 2 summer trips to look forward to and a cruise in 2011!

Life is good...

Hello there! We always call (it is the obsessive-compulsive in me ) so can't help you there.

Well that would have to be us... we have several framed prints of his photos in our guest bath, and one in our master bedroom too. Then there are several coffee table books, and a small postcard sized book of his prints. Wonderful stuff.

We have NO AA stuff in our house! But my BIL has a lot so I always drool over his prints.

blossomz, gotch for all those kick-butt vacations planned!

 

[blossomz]

Welcome Oshawa!

Thanks Muushka for being keeper of the lists!!

That would be cool! Have fun on your vacation!

Right there with you, WD. 14 days for us. Cant wait!!

What a great place it is! You'll be there before I will!

I think I am one day behind you, WD... ahhhhhhh bliss!

I'll try not to buy up all of the resort-specific items so you can have some after you arrive! Well, if they still have resort items, that is.

25 days to go now!

 

[Oshawa]

Hello there! We always call (it is the obsessive-compulsive in me ) so can't help you there.

I just got back from the gym and checked my e-mail and we are confirmed for our first stay at VWL!! We are very excited. We have never been in October (9th to 16th) before. Can't wait to see all the Hallowe'en decorations!!
Online ressie went well. I put my request in last night and got an answer in 11 hours. The waiting killed me. I wanted to call first thing this morning. I'm obsessive compulsive also. I was driving my hubby crazy!

 

[Oshawa]

Welcome Oshawa!

Thanks blossomz!!

Right behind you at 33 days!

Hi Lisah Good to see you.:

Good to see you, too, Muushka! Happy Sunday!

Are we going to try a virtual meet while the Groupies meet is going on in early December? I think last time a lot of us spaced it but it might be fun to try again.

 

[DVCGeek]

I think I need to find a new job where I can request one week every month as Disney time.

Once you find it please LMK if you need a software developer who can work those other 3 weeks each month from northeast Ohio, OK? I could DEFINITELY handle monthly Disney! Oh, it will have to pay big $$$ as well so I can get more points and afford food, airfare, etc.... TIA!

 

[DVCGeek]

I am a little nervous I have never tried booking online before. Have any of you tried?

I've done Disney hotel reservations online in the past and have done dinner (ADR) reservations recently. Both go fine as long as you get your confirmation # at the end. However, for hotels you get the best discounts if you do a phone call (AAA rate for one common example for US based people who have it!). As for DVC, of course you can't book that online yet [at least directly; sounds like you put in a non-real-time request though? I have NOT tried that and perhaps that is what you were really asking about! ]. Some tours and dinner packages also require picking up the phone, or when the website is acting up.

Both are fine in my book, just depends on what I am trying to get! You'll love the Lodge however things get booked!
