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

[wildernessDad]

Hi all..

I need to vent! My sister decided to cancel on me for our cruise!!! I had used ALL of my points to book it for all 5 of us! Anyway...long story short..I called MS and they were sooo great! My points all were gone from DVC and could only be used as reservation points. So...I upgraded from a category 9 to a category 6 for the cruise. Then I had 232 points left...EXACTLY the right number of points to stay 4 nights at the Polynesian over Christmas!!! So I grabbed it and we're now heading down from the 23rd to the 26th!!! AND..I didn't lose a single point! I unfortunately had to pay a few $95 change fees...which I feel my sister should pay...but that won't happen! Anyway...Granny...add me to the list for Christmas!

Wow! You took lemons and made lemonaide! The Poly at Xmas!

 

[blossomz]

Yeah....

 

[Disney loving Iowan]

Thanks everybody! I'll have to call my sister later and find out if there has been any progress! My fingers are crossed!
Oh the Poly at Christmas. Aahhh! Lucky lucky you Blossomz. Someday I would love to be at WDW on Christmas.

Please let us know how everything turns out.

OK Groupies. I have been hard at work on a project here at home. My dining room needed some more spiffing up, so I decided after painting, to add the picture frame moulding under the chair rail. JT, I know this is your area of expertise! So what do you think?

On the next one, notice the switch plates (WL Mercantile) and the print (same source!)

And the next one was one I took for my southern friends, the ones devoid of leaves.......

I know, I know, totally OT! BUT, there are WL artifacts in 1 of the pics!

Looks beautiful! The picture frames on the bottom wall look very classy!

 

[blossomz]

I love the color scheme and the theming! Good choice!

I had exactly 232 reservation points left and the only place that "fit" was 4 nights at the poly in a garden view! EXACTLY 232 points! I felt like I'd been pixie dusted!!!

Blossomz......checking in a bit late, but wanted to say I am glad it all worked out in the end. My friend just stayed at the Poly in Aug with a garden view and had a glimpse at a MK view ! She got really lucky ! And to have gotten the reservation so late and near the holidays...wow....awesome !!


Disney Lovin Iowan.......my thoughts, prayers and moose dust go out to you. I hope you sister's ex can let his heart and conscience do the right thing.

Muushka....love the room ! REALLy pretty !

 

[blossomz]

Thanks Maria!!

Muushka,

When you convince Mr. Muushka to take a trip out west, you can come help decorate my house! Love what you've done. Very tasteful but with touches of whimsy; love it!

Muushka,
The room looks fabulous. It is so pretty, I'm sooo jealous.
I think Mr. Muushka needs to hang a shingle over the door for your services.


Any California groupies? Heard the air quality at DL was extremely poor due to the forest fires. Hope every one is safe and sound.

 

[Muushka]

You guys are so sweet. But Mr Muush picked out the color! I did the labor .

50Y2, I want to visit that area so bad I can taste it. Too bad Mr M won't fly! I have to keep my fingers crossed that one day he will have to report to the headquarters of his work and then I would get to see that area!

 

[loribell]

DLI I hope everything works out and you can all go see your folks together. She can always tell him he will not be getting her very Christmas morning from now on if he can bend this one time. I hate to be that way but sometimes it it the only way to get through to them.

Muushka the room looks great!

 

[jimmytammy]

The paneling effect looks great! You did a very nice job with it. Have you considered becoming a trim carpenter? And I love the switchplates!

Sorry I hadnt replied before now. Tammy and I went to see a bunch of cats play football yesterday...The Panthers-Lions game

GO PANTHERS!!!!8 and 2 Who-Hoo!!!

 

[horselover]

Morning groupies.

Muushka - I also love the paneling. It looks really great.

Not much going on in this neck of the woods. I worked all weekend & now I have a sick DS home from school. He's running a fever & complaining of a bad sore throat. Not sure how bad it really is because he tends to be a little melodramatic & he won't open his mouth for me to look. We may be heading off to the doctor later. Sure hope he doesn't share it with the rest of us. Nothing worse than a bad sore throat.

Moose dust to all!

Happy Monday groupies,

Since we are "Old, salty hands" at going to disney, when you go to the world what attraction, site or any thing gives you that "Yesssss, I'm finally on vacation"? feeling

For me it's the arch at the drive way up to the WL. No matter how many times I see that I get excited.

 

[Muushka]

Thanks JT! And the Panthers won! (I take it as a NC'er, that is your team)

HorseLover, I hope your son gets well soon .

It's really really really cold here.

 

[WolfpackFan]

And the Panthers won! (I take it as a NC'er, that is your team)

Overall - it was a pretty good weekend for NC sports IMO - the Wolfpack won, Panthers won, Duke lost and Carolina lost. Not too bad.

I'm just sitting here dreaming about our Christmas trip to VWL next month. But I'm supposed to be painting our den this morning, so I guess I'd better get busy.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Duke lost to URI. Being a RI'der, that is great!
And it's my sister and niece's alma mater.

 

[horselover]

I'm with Loribell. That sign does it for me every time. I also get a little choked up every time I see Cinderella's Castle for the 1st time.

Well we're back from the doctor. DS has Scarlet Fever! I had no idea kids still got that. Dr. said it sounds worse than it is, but he's feeling pretty bad. Poor kid. Still can't really eat or swallow anything. He's writing me notes to communicate. Hopefully he'll be better after a few doses of antibiotics. Guess he won't be going to school tomorrow either.
