Good morning Groupies!

Here is a link to a picture of the Christmas Tree at WL. http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=34408969&postcount=33 Thanks to John at Owner's Locker for his wonderful holidays at WDW thread.

TeaPot loved your pictures. I thought the sand pouring idea was a good one. I haven't seen that before.

 

[TuckandStuiesMom]

OMIGOSH! That is one AMAZING tree!!!!!

 

[wildernessDad]

Love that tree!

19 days to go until I see it up close and personal! (I just had to get that in.)

 

[blossomz]

I love that tree too! Especially those little tee pees! WD..you'll soon be seeing it for real!

 

[KAT4DISNEY]

Ahhhh - the tree! I had been so hoping those little elves would show up last Sunday night.

 

[tea pot]

lisah glad you enjoyed the pictures and a big thank you for the link to our Beloved Lodge's no less than Spectacular Christmas Tree !
Hey Groupies Can you FEEL the MAGIC ?

 

[twinklebug]

The Tree is up! Yea! I'm SO looking foward to bumming around the tree for awhile. I can't believe we were in FL, two towns over for 2 weeks last year and never set foot in the Lodge. Yeesh, family, what can ya do? ... and that's why they'll have no clue we'll be down there this year.

BTW - My suspicion is that it isn't Disney elves that set up the WL tree each year,
but rather the notorious Blu Moose and his crew of Mooz:

What a beautiful tree.

 

[emsip]

That is such an awesome tree. I can't wait to see it next week. I have to remember to empty out my camera's memory card.

I'm feeling the magic, TeaPot!

I'm kind of also having that "what am I forgeting" feeling with my trip coming up soon. Double checked all reservations, ME, ADRs done, have tickets, ordered groceries. Maybe I should just stop worrying and get ready to have a great time!

Hi everyone,

Just stopping by to say "HI!" and introduce myself! I submit our humble family of four as potential WL groupies. Thanks to yet another kind soul on the DIS boards, we have rented points for our 2010 WDW vacation, returning to (of course) VWL.

Our first family vacation was October 2008. We rented points from someone on the board and spent 7 nights in a 2 bedroom villa at WL. It was an absolutely amazing experience. I had been pouring over guidebooks for a full year, planning that vacation. I don't know what drew me to WL, but something did. No matter what other resorts I looked at, I kept finding myself returning to WL. So, we booked it. My husband was skeptical at first. "A mountain resort in FL?!?" he wondered. But it was absolutely amazing.

I'll never forget when I first walked in the front door. The music, Oh My Gosh what music!! I stood there just drinking it all in. What an incredibly immersive experience. When we got back, I found an iTunes list for the lobby music and downloaded it right away. Whenever I want to escape from it all, I listen to those songs.

We are now planning our second family trip back to the world, and this time it was my husband who insisted we return to WL! I was prepared to try other places, but my family is hooked. This next time, we're staying for 8 nights. I can't wait!!

 

[wildernessDad]

You must pick up a moose siggie. You must.

In other news, 18 days to go!

[DiznyDi]

PamelaASmith!
We love new Groupies! Our momma moose is currently cruising Instructions for your very own moosie siggie is on page 1 of the thread.

tea pot We're really feeling the magic! Tomorrow we're in single digits!

JT Safe travels! Looking forward to seeing you and your family again in just a short while.

lisah0711 I just realized that I never scheduled my Owner's Locker for delivery. Do you have one and did you schedule it?

As we go into Thanksgiving week, I want all my Groupie friends to know just how very thankful I am for each and every one of you. Groupies are the best!

 

[PamelaASmith]

Aw, thanks for the warm welcome! Thanks also for the info on how to get my very own moose! I absolutely LOVE the moose. He is adorable!

 

[twokats]

Welcome Pamela!

Happy Thanksgiving week to everyone else!!

Hope everyone gets plenty of turkey and all the fixings.

9 days until DD & I get to WDW. Took DD to a campout in South Texas and I went shopping and got way too many new clothes for the trip.

 

[twinklebug]

10 days, 18 hours until we board our flight!

I'm very excited ... but I came -->this<-- close to calling MS and cancelling our trip today. Ever feel like you're so wound up there'd be no way to unwind? What's the point in trying?

But I do know I need to see the lodge, hear the music smell the woodsy smell and get into the Christmas spirit. This year in particular. So, I'm hoping 4 days will unwind me enough that I can survive until Feb.

We'll hit the parks of course, but I don't think I'm up for running to all the rides with the kids. Well, all the mountains are on the list, but other than that who knows. So, other than alcohol (it'll put me right to sleep) What are the groupie's favorite activities to just relax?
