***The VWL Groupies & Trivia Thread*** Chapter 2!

[Muushka]

Yeah, I will be in my 80's when the VWL contract is up.

Maria, you cannot beat the location or the view from BLT.

And as we say in real estate, location, location, location.

And besides, if you buy there, you will be required to host a BLT party for Groupies!

BLT on white or wheat?

On wheat, with a side of mayo, please

Oh please Muushka,, forget the party. We're crashing at her place like college roommates. We've gone passed groupies into "family members who you can't get to leave during the holidays"

Definitely not taking the place of the Lodge but I would love to check out the fireworks from that balcony.

You know Eliza, you are right. Formalities are out the window. This is family! We will be over at 9 Maria!!

Sounds like we have your future DVC all figured out Maria!!

I just got back from my "Back to School" night and saw Ms. DeeVee Cee..oh my! I think our conversation is much more hilarious than that You Tube video! In Fact, my kids just asked what I was laughing at! Anyway Maria..count me in too!

I've always thought that if a DVC came available at CR that I would jump in, but I'm not so sure now. I really love owning at VWL and AKV. And it gives me a little variety. I do also have BCV points because that was what was selling at the time, and I also considered selling them to buy at CR, but now I'm not so sure...

It doesn't look good for any incentives either...

Maria-youo never know..they may allow us to lengthen our years like they offered the folks at OKW... Something else to throw into the mix.

I want to see the point chart for the treehouses.

 

[mickeymorse]

Boy, go away from the computer and you miss alot. So I guess that means us guys do the pirate thingy at Marias watching Wishes Hurrah for Maria.

Feelin the love... Can you get a platter of BLTs delivered I wonder?

Morning everyone. Did anyone see the thread for BLT? I just have to say.....it sure isn't the lodge Maybe sometime at 7 mos for the MK view for a nite but I will take the boat ride any day

I think that getting a MK view room at 7 months may be tough.

20% of BLT is MK view rooms, 11% is standard view rooms and the rest are lake view rooms. The points required to stay in a standard view room at BLT is comparable to the points required to stay at VWL from what I've seen so far. The points required to stay in a MK view room at BLT are 20 - 30+ percent higher than the points required to stay at VWL from what I've seen thus far. VWL has or is getting new sofa beds as we speak. I would describe the decor of the rooms at BLT as 'Glam Hospital.' My DW likes the decor, however. Early morning monorail access will be a madhouse, I think, as those from the Contemporary and BLT try to make their way to Epcot. Some may walk to the MK and get the express monorail to the TTS though. The MK view may be great for folks about 20 minutes out of the day, during the Wishes fireworks display. Of course, people may be at another park during that time, so the view means nothing then. Hopefully, the daytime views from the MK rooms will not include cast member parking lots, tops of buildings, etc. But I have a feeling that it will. There is no concierge level as there is at AKV. Maybe that experiment was a bust in DVD's eyes.

I still think that it would be a good buy for a new DVC member, but not a good add on for an existing member due to the issues stated above. This is just my opinion and your opinion may vary.

You know when we stayed at the CR many years ago (almost 15) our favorite part of it was coming out of our upper room and being able to overlook everything. Loved seeing the monorail and restaurants and all the goings ons. I would miss that at the BLT. As much as I love VWL that is also something I missed there by not being in the main building.

Where is everybody? No posts since mine this morning. Guess we all really do have lives huh?
Saw the BLT video on the DVC site. It looks pretty nice and the view is great but I don't think I would buy there. Not that I would rule out ever staying there though! And I sure would stay there at Maria's place!

 

[Muushka]

Hi DLI. I'm here, just busy doing all the last minute stuff (new tire, oil change, PACKING!!). I can't believe that I have been dizzy (well, dizzier than normal) these past couple of days. My history is cruise = weeks of dizziness following cruise, not before! Oh well, just popping the Bonine early!

 

[blossomz]

Hi groupies..

Just popping in to say hi. I am still on the fence about BLT!! I might have to visit Maria before deciding!!

Sadly yes, although at times I'm tempted to run away. The old guy works in the petroleum industry and every time a stupid hurricane affects one of the off shore rigs, he gets shipped off to Texas. Translation: It's me against Sid & Rizzo until Sunday.

The good thing is after 25 years of marriage, I'm not above using these trips as leverage to get a quick trip to the lodge.

Hi Muushka! I've never taken a cruise but the last time we took the train I was dizzy for about a week after. It was the third time I took the train but the first time that happened. Taking the train again in February and hope it doesn't happen again.
I'd help you with all your work if I could!

This must be a tough time of year for him then. Hope all goes well for him there. And for you there at home! Do you think he could take my DH with so I could work a trip out of him too?
