I think you have a very good chance at getting a week in July at the 7 month mark for VWL. The only tight time around then is the 4th of July weekend...hopefully that isn't the week you're talking about since the parks are slammed that day.

As for what kind of room, do you mean what size? I would assume a studio would work fine for the two of you unless you want more elbow room, the king bed, the washer/dryer in the villa and the jacuzzi tub...all of which require the 1BR. It is significantly higher points for a 1BR vs a studio though.

If you are asking what kind of location to ask for, that isn't a big deal at VWL since most views are of the trees.

Congratulations on your engagement and have a great time planning the Great Event. DiznyDad is a pro if you have any questions about wedding planning.

Hi figmentfan0724! I'll ditto what Granny said (you can't go wrong with VWL no matter what room you get), and adding, I believe DiznyDad is writing a book on 100 ways to use leftover mints He should have some useful tips.

Congratulations and have fun planning!

 

[wildernessDad]

Okay, I'm chillin' with a Guinness 250 Anniversary Stout and I must say that it is most excellent. The only thing better would be if I were enjoying this in my favorite Lodge. I wonder if I could ship a case to WL.

Hey all

Just got off the phone with Ranger Stan. Had a 20 min conversation with him, since he isnt working anymore, doesnt have to get up as early. Anyway, he seems to really be enjoying his free time now. And he says Happy Thanksgiving to all the groupies.

He is looking forward to the meet, seeing familiar faces and looking forward to meeting new folks.

Leslie:
Great news on the job! Hope you are well soon.

Happy Thanksgiving groupies. I am thankful for this special group of people.

My DH and I decided to make a last minute trip to the world and got a good deal on a flight 3 weeks out. So we are at All Star movies 2 nights with the last night at OKW unless a wait list miraculously comes through. It will be a quick trip but a much needed one. And although I'm spoiled with DVC I am pretty sure the All Stars will be better than work, homework, and whatever else I'd be doing back home.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my friends from the South.
Enjoy!!

A pro? I would find it hard to call someone that stumbled down a hill a pro downhill skiier, wouldn't you?

On the way out of this thread, please take a mint.

Happy Thanksgiving Eve Groupies!

We have been MIA since I have been sick for over a week now with flu/bronchitis and whatever else you'd like to throw in there! Still not up to par but hoping this will pass soon. In the middle of all of the sickness I had a job interview - and I GOT THE JOB! It's almost a mirror image of what I did for the attorney I worked for - except now it's for CPA's. Small firm - 20 hours a week until tax season - and then it will be 40+ through April 15th. I am so excited after being out of work for 15 months! Just had to share!

Leslie

Congrats on the job. Do plan on the 40++++ during tax season. . . . I should know, I am an accountant!

[twokats - yay for new clothes for your trip! Hope you and DD have a blast.

Yes, I even bought a little more when I got home!!


We are at 6 days here, oh so close to 5 since it is so late when I am finally writing this.
I did all my online checkins today! Now over the next couple of days I am going to get all the clothes together so that I can pack them easier. (she says so confidently)

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Hope you have good food and a lot of fellowship with friends and family.

 

[jimmytammy]

HappyDinks Congrats on the new job! And I will be sure to say hey to Stan on your behalf.

Granny I will say hey for you also

DisneyNutzy So glad a fellow groupie can share our tree, and I know you will handle it well

 

[jimmytammy]

Happy Thanksgiving to all my family of kindred spirits

 

[PamelaASmith]

Guess what? We have something extra special to be thankful for this morning! We have an opportunity to extend our WDW trip next October and are taking it. Now we're staying 9 nights! Oh yeah, oh yeah! Our renter sent an email to us last night saying she had accidentally rented more points that needed. We decided to go ahead and extend our trip by a day. It's meant to be, right?!!

 

[wildernessDad]

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

And like a tacky used car salesman, I segue into the fact that I have 14 days to go until I step foot into our beloved Lodge!!!!

 

[lisah0711]

Happy Thanksgiving to all the Grouplies and their families!

I am thankful that there are a group of folks like you to share a love of Disney and our beloved Wilderness Lodge with.

And Wilderness Dad, I am even thankful for your countdown because I am right behind you! I do feel sorry for your giraffe every day, though . . .

Safe journey to all the Groupies who are travelling this week-end!

 

[figmentfan0724]

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I also wanted to say thank you to all who responded! We are goin at the end of July!

 

[Granny]

HAPPY THANKSGIVING fellow Groupies!

Actually that might be an interesting question to pose for discussion. What is your philosophy on taking children out of school for WDW? Our philosophy is that it is okay to take them out for one vacation a year, if they are doing really well in school.

Probably a sensitive topic as people tend to have some pretty strong opinions on both sides of this one. My philosophy is that every parent has to decide what is best for their children and family and act accordingly. Personally we didn't take the children out of school for vacations and went every year in the heat of Florida summer. But if someone feels it works for them and their children to go during the school year, that's good with me too.

 

[PamelaASmith]

Whoops, I didn't mean to bring up a sensitive topic. Sorry about that. Not a good way for me to introduce myself! I'll play it safe and delete it.

DiznyDi & Dizny DadI might get the energy up to get down to the WOD store at 5:30am ... uh... nah... sleep verses shopping? Yea, sleep wins.

I considered that BUT right now I'm leaving twoard waiting until Disney transportation is running (from BLT) to swing over there rather than have to take a cab. We'll see how I feel next week!
