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

[Muushka]

Yes, I do remember last year someone reporting that different music was being played, but I don't remember it being jazz.
That is an abomination!

'Original' Lodge. VWL the True Lodge! Lodge wars! Lodge wars!!

 

[Granny]

PS- Has Granny been around? I haven't seen him lately.

All present and accounted for...SIR!!! {sharp salute}

MG...very glad you found us, and that you are doing well.

Jazz music at The Lodge?

Say it ain't so, Stan!!

Glad to see more folks finding the thread and joining in. We welcome all Prodigal Groupies with open arms.

I'd like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a wonderful and safe Memorial Day weekend. Let us never take our freedoms, and those who sacrificed for them, for granted.

Happy Memorial Day to all my American groupie friends. Looks like the weather is going to be nice around my neck of the woods. Is that a pool I hear opening
Good to see the returning groupies as well. Did I mention only 244 more days

Last Oct I believe was when I noticed the music seeming different. I didnt hear jazz at that time, but the loop seemed odd. I remember hearing Mickey and friends singing a hoedown type song, and didnt recognize any of the normal tunes you would hear. I reported this and remember someone posting that they had asked a CM at the Lodge about this matter. The CM said that the loop hadnt been playing all the songs it should have been, therefore, we were hearing those songs that had been out of the loop for awhile plus the usuals. In Mar., I didnt notice as much out of the ordinary as before.

As for Stan, he told me in Mar. his plan was to work til June 09. He would have so many years in so his benefits would be better. Now that may change come Dec when I ask him again. His DW who is quite a few yrs younger wants him to continue work, and he wants to as well, but his knees bother him more these days, so the flag family duties are a bit harder for him, all the stairs, etc. I will say this, anyone who has never met Stan, go and do so. He loves people and loves talking with them. Part of what keeps him at the lodge is knowing that he is making a difference.

I also noticed this on my visit a couple weeks ago. I was very disappointed, until... I heard the regulars playing once again.

I have seen the song list, and it's quite extensive. It used to sound as though they played the same 5 or 6 over and over (they were indeed my favorites).
Perhaps they haven't changed the music per se, but now just adding some of the more obscure songs into the mix while still keeping the... ahem... "old faithfulls".

Last year they told me that the loop wasn't working properly so they filled in with other music until it could be fixed. However, when we were there in July, it was a different mix...It was fine, but I agree..the old favorites are still my favorites.

Meanwhile..we're down to 26 more days. I teach and our last day is June 9. Won't feel like I'm really on track for Disney until that day!

I am excited for you!

Love being flag family, talking with Ranger Stan(Wed-Sat 7-4 )watching the wildlife, enjoying the music, downtime in the Carolwood Pacific Room(formerly Iron Spike Room)catching the boat to FW then looking back at our beloved Lodge, eating at WCC, watching the lights flicker at night while the (Disney version) crickets chirp near the quiet pool, etc. etc.

Enjoy all these things, but most of all enjoy making your own memories there.

 

[jimmytammy]

Hope everyone here has a great Memorial Day!

And thank you to all the veterans and to the families whose loved one made the ultimate sacrifice. Our country will be forever indebted to you.

Here's a couple...The serenity of the quiet pool, reading a book by the fire-especially during an afternoon thunderstorm...
