It's great fun!

I'm really only getting the dialogue. I hate dial-up! Just sat for well over an hour trying to let the images come in, only to have X's where photos should be. So, I get my iphone out, it's a 3gs - s is for speed don't you know and instead of X's, I have ?'s. Maybe I'll drag my laptop to church with me this evening and take advantage of their wifi

HL - tomorrow's the day!

Given that this is what you have to go through:

My bet is no, they don't wipe it down.
Hm. This looks like they took Disney's "shake the money out of them" approach too literally.

That's too funny! I had heard that you had to hang upside down to kiss that thing. I can definitely cross that off the potential sites to visit...someone would kill themselves and me if I gave that a whirl.

Which is easier to get Oct 19-22 or Jan 3-6. We really want to stay there before our cruise in Jan.

I'd say that January is probably a little easier. And the decorations should still be up so you'd see our beloved Lodge in its full Christmas splendor!!

Thanks guys. The Groupies thread always feels like home.

Add us to the list! We'll be at VWL one night before our cruise (12/11) and two nights afterward (12/16 and 12/17).

We've missed you!

The Lodge at Christmas is beautiful! You'll love it.

For all those fixin to take trips or already on them, be it pleasure or business, have a safe trip.

Just saw Alice in Wonderland and it was wonderful! I usually dont go for those sorta out of this world kinda movies, but it was nice. I kept thinking it was a bit in line with The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe in its thematic element with a good vs evil sorta mentality mixed in. JD did a great job as The Mad Hatter and felt he was as believable as Jack Sparrow(1st movie).

Are you on the 12/11 Western DCL cruise? DH and I are going on that one with my inlaws!

 

[Happydinks]

On an note, I'm getting really jazzed about our trip to Ireland that starts off this Saturday. I won't have my computer so no off topic TRs until I get back!!

Morning Groupies! This working for a living doesn't leave much time for the boards!

Granny have a wonderful trip. No - they don't "sanitize" the stone after each "kiss". Actually, not too long ago, a woman did that (wiped the stone as they lowered her), and got in a lot of trouble for doing it. Had something to do with the chemicals deterioriating the stone. We'll be waiting for your TR! Be safe!

Nope. We're going on the 2nd DIS Unplugged Podcast Cruise - the 4 night that departs on Sunday 12/12 (along with about 700 other DISers)!

...not that I wouldn't enjoy a nice, long Western cruise in December.

Darn. I thought I'd actually know someone on our cruise.

I'm not a podcast person so I didn't know about that cruise. Sounds like fun! We're doing the 4 night again at the end of April (our 3rd time on that one) so for December we wanted something new. We did the Eastern last December so this year we're doing the Western.

We're doing a week at WDW first before the cruise so this will be a long vacation for me in December, longer than I've ever been able to take. I'm holding my breath about getting a new job before then that may have an issue with vacation that time of year. If it was just DH and me it would be easier to cancel but we're going with my inlaws so I really don't want to disappoint them.

Leslie...thanks for the kind wishes. We leave early tomorrow morning so today is last minute running around.

Great to see so many Groupies heading to WDW for a trip. Should be lots of pictures to look at when we get back!!

Inkmahm...I'll be gone for your birthday celebration so here's a happy birthday wish a week early! March 19 is my late father's birthday too so you are in good company (along with St. Joseph!!).

I'm holding my breath about getting a new job before then that may have an issue with vacation that time of year.

From my experience, if you are up-front with them after they extend an offer and before / while you accept that you have a trip scheduled they will usually work with you. In fact, DW and I went to WDW for a week after she had been at her new job for only two weeks! It was unpaid, but still worked out fine. In fact, she got promoted on Monday, and has only been with the company a month and a half!

 

[Disney loving Iowan]

Just a disclaimer...
I certainly did not mean to come off like I was putting down the BWV/BCV in any way. Honestly EVERY DVC resort is beautiful in different ways...they all have something different to offer. So hope noone took offense.

It's just our (my dh is in agreement) personal preferences lean us towards VWL. We ALMOST bough VWL if any of you recall. Ended up going with AKV and BLT for the extra years PLUS the extra sleeper chair and extra bathroom. But we did think long and hard on purchasing VWL. For me, AKV is really beautifully themed just as VWL, but VWL has the location beat. I feel AKV is very authentic in it's decor and ambience and we love that. It all comes down to a personal preference or a feel for a certain resort.

And no doubt, BWV and BCV are very popular for their location. And gosh knows BCV has the claim to SAB. Best pool on property.

So I didn't mean to come off as a snob towards the other DVC resorts. Sorry if I did

You didn't come off as a snob at all!!! If you came across as anything it was a loyal VWL groupie! I never felt as if you were putting the other resorts down. You were just saying that in your opinion VWL is your favorite. I think it's great that we all share a love for the Lodge but we can also enjoy and have fondness for the other wonderful resorts that Disney has. I like that we can come on here and dicuss not only the Lodge but how we feel about the other resorts.

Hello, my fellow groupies.

I've signed up for that webcast and I am considering adding on 50 points at GCV to go to Disneyland every three years and spend a week in a studio.

What do you think?

VGC is beautiful!!! I would love to own points there.

Hi Groupies!!!!!

Dodie!!!!So good to hear from you! We wondered where you got to!

I think this is a great idea because you can definitely get a full 7 night week in Adventure or Choice season if you bank and borrow the 50 points. If you decide to , let us know how it goes with incentives and all. Good luck with your decision WD. More points aren't in my future right now.....I so wish I could
