The Villas at Disney's Grand Californian Owners Group

[Grumpygrandpa]

Are you sure we're not related??? Just kidding, this sounds so like me, no patience! I've questioned whether we really need VGC points since most DLR trips aren't scheduled 11 months out. I REALLY GOTTA HAVE VGC POINTS!!!

ME TOO!!!!! If we are not related we are certainly kindred spirits.

Hey...does anyone know how to put on the VGC signature? It has been a long time since I put on the SSR one.

 

[Grumpygrandpa]

Obviously somebody needs to tell me how to do a signature, but old guys like me have problems just typing. I will probably need my 8 year old grandson to explain it to me (He keeps on trying to teach me how to play video games and I can never find the "Pong" game).

Just got a message from my guide and she thinks I won't have to cancel my contract to make the switch from DPs to the Cruise. She said just to hold onto the contracts until she gets more info. They are still sitting on my sideboard....just waiting.....

Another Northern CA here. Well, mid state probably near Modesto, but we claim the North.
Bought 140 points. Can't wait to use them. I sure hope it won't be too full. They aren't adding enough rooms. And that will be awful if we can't use GC after the villas are done. WE love GC.

GrumpyGrandpa... I struggled and struggle with my signature... Not sure if it is working yet, but hopefully.. I sure tried hard enough.

Your sigs look good to me and anything this side of the grapevine is norcal.

We are close enough to drive,5 1/2 hours but closer would be better yet. Too far away to any airports to make it worth the flight. 1 1/2 hour drive to the airport and getting there over an hour early.... it isn't worth it... I have done it and I love it, but can't justify the price.

Congrats Minniemoms! Small world...my son went to Modesto Jr College and lived on campus for a couple of years.

I got the final word from my guide and I should have the new cruise incentive paperwork by tommorow. I can't wait to cruise!!!!

Yeah! I'm still waiting for my guide to get back to me.

Here's some pixie dust for you and your guide to speed things up! I can't wait to see the available dates. I have seen them posted somewhere and it looks like the grandkids are going to miss a week of school. My DDIL will not be happy with that. But ya gotta do what ya gotta do

 

[minniemoms]

ACDSNY Hey neighbor.... Good to hear he went to MJC. It really is a very good junior college, and very popular. I have heard it is ranked up there with some of the BEST nursing schools in the nation .

Heck ya..it is most important to get those kids Disney indoctrinated as soon as possible! Luckily I started my kids young and they will take kids out of school for anything Disney. It's educational, you know.

I certainly agree!!

I've been busy lately and hadn't had the time to get on the boards. Between the girls using the computer for homework and the new arrival of our horse, Pocket, I've just have not had the time to post.

Anyway... Good morning!

My DD starts Kindergarten this year and I'm hesitant to pull her out for school, but I know we'll be diligent to make sure she doesn't get behind.
We didn't purchase DVC so we could go to Disney at the most crowded times possible, we purchased to make our vacations more relaxing (1BR, etc). We'll just have to schedule in some 'rest time' to read and review spelling words during the trip This year I'm taking her out of school for our 7 day Western and next year I plan to take her out a few days before Christmas break for a land and sea (free 3 night cruise from DVC).

I am doing my part in making sure that the "Disney" part of my grandchildren's education is not neglected. I don't know how long I keep this up. Having to drag those kids to DL or WDW three or four times a year. It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it. I guess it's up to me and I will just have to keep pluggin along.

MJC is great, one of the few Ag colleges around. My son was going for Ag Sci and Poultry Sci.

I agree, it's a tough job, but it must be done.

I want to grow up to be Grumpygrandpa! I don't think my girls will mind one bit.

Shoot--I want Grumpygrandpa to adopt me!

Thank you for your understanding and support. It's people like you who help me bear up under the strain of spoiling my Grandkids.

I keep telling my DS that I need some more Grandkids (these ones I got are great but they're growing up so fast) but he insists that that's all I'm getting. So maybe I will have to adopt.
