Although Mercantile closes at 11, I am pretty sure they will deliver it to your room after checking in. So it might be there when you get up there, or first thing the next morning.

Hope all goes well with Tammy. I'm sending her

 

[Corinne]

I believe the Mercantile closes at 11

Have a great trip!!

Thanks so much!

Hey folks

Tammy is having rotator cuff surgery this morning. If you dont mind, keep her in your thoughts and prayers today.

You bet....hope all goes well, and she will have a speedy recovery.

Thanks for all the great VWL info Blossomz. And yes, it is comforting to read instructions and know exactly where you are talking about! Ahhhhhh.
I look forward to the new area opening up at AKV, we will probably book after that. Thanks!

It's my new Moose A. Moose avatar.

For Tammy. I hope she has an uneventful, successful surgery. With a short recovery time!

Good luck with Tammy's surgery.

My son will be having the same surgery after we return from the lake. I wanted him to be able to have some sort of fun before the surgery.

PS. Thanks to GOG and Blossomz for sharing some magic from their trips! It is so nice to be able to share the fun with friends. Will stay tuned for more news and photos.

Hello,

First post in this thread. I'm not a groupie yet, but I am looking forward to staying at VWL for the first time with my family beginning August 1st.

We home-base out of SSR for DVC and spend most of our other WDW vacations at FW. We have visited WL numerous times to eat (and swim in your pool- joke, just a joke ) but have not stayed there to date.

Our 2 sons love the boat to the Magic Kingdom (they think it is an attraction- which I suppose it is of sorts).

Which brings me to my question. Does anyone know if they run a dedicated boat for WL in the summer or does it share with FW? Not sure if this is a trivia question or not but expect this is THE place to find the answer.

Regards,

I'm thinking good thoughts for her! DH had that surgery a few years ago and I narrowly missed having to have it last year myself. (Hurt my shoulder in a fall - ended up with bursitis and "just shy of 'frozen'" - but no tear - thankfully!)

2 months and 8 days until our next trip to VWL (our first trip "home" as DVC members) and, GROUPIES, I have to admit that the waiting is KILLING me!!!! My husband and I even have our big 15th anniversary trip to Alaska before that (end of July), but I'm fixated on that Disney trip like crazy!!!!

I love it! Welcome to the thread. I don't know the answer but someone should come along who does soon.

When we were there in May there was a dedicated boat running between MK and WL and another boat going to FW.
Maybe someone who has just returned can give more current information.
Enjoy your trip!


Hugs and prayers for Tammy. Hope the surgery and recovery goes well.

 

[Corinne]

Corinne....ENJOY, ENJOY, ENJOY your trip !!!

Thanks, Granny! I am certainly planning on it!
We are pretty much all packed and I just printed out our boarding passes. Our flight departs Manchester, NH at 7:30PM. I am hoping none of the thunderstorms we have been having all week will surface and interfere with our departure. The MK has EMH tomorrow evening and since we will be arriving around 11:00, I am *hoping* we can get over there for a few hours. We do not typically do the EMH any longer but since it is actually open until 4:00AM we may mosey on over! I am sure it will be insane. Who knows!

Mr. Man! Do I recognize you from the conservative thread??

We never go to WL in the summer, so I can't answer, but just wanted to say hi!

 

[WDWRR_ENGINEER]

PS. Question for other groupies who might know... Did I hear that there was a special feature article on Ranger Stan in Vacation Magic a few years back (before we joined)? If so, do you know if DVC archives their back issues?

Not sure if someone answered or not but it is Vacation Magic Spring 2007.

I also have most of them in pdf if you PM me I can send you a link to download it.

Sorry I have not been around a lot.

This podcast thing has a life of its own. And of course real job gets in the way of my fun.

Is it October yet? now 89 days and counting.

Hey all

Thanks for all the prayers, thoughts and well-wishes. Tammy is doing well but is very sore. Turns out there was no tear in RC. She had a bone spur and it was causing much inflammation. Dr said it would take about a month with re-hab to get full use back. She rested well(those meds sure pack a punch) so that is a blessing.

As Muushka stated, never in a million yrs did I ever think I would have cyber friends, let alone those I could lean on. You groupies are the best!

 

[Granny]

Jimmy...very happy to hear about Tammy's results and prognosis.

Yup, it's me. Hiya Muushka!

Yes, I have always thought that VWL would be perfect in winter time (or what passes for winter in FL) but the boys insist that the boat to MK is the "Bees Knees".

I am really looking forward to the trip, in 29 days I hasten to add (needless gratuitous boast).

 

[Muushka]

JT, so glad your T is doing well.

I thought I recognized you . Actually, in my extremely biased opinion, VWL is also excellent in the summer/hotter months. The lake, the dark colors, the cavernous lobby and all those great pine trees! Sure beats lame palm trees and hot sunny areas that you find at other DVC resorts. Have a great trip!

Did you get an answer to your question?? I didn't look back.

Hey Joe, good to see you. How is the podcast coming??

Thanks for this. Obviously, it would be nice to have a dedicated boat, but the kids would enjoy the extra leg in any event.

Yup, I'm good to go.

& LOL@ those "lame" resorts......Be careful, those "old-timers" at OKV are cantankerous grouches when it comes to defending their Home Resorts honor....... I have bruises from their walkers & canes to prove it.......

I didn't call the other resorts lame, I called their palm trees lame!!
Hey, this is one of the nicest threads that you will ever cast your eyes upon. We Groupies do not put down other DVC resorts! We are waaaay too full of ourselves for that!

PS I hope those bruises heal eventually!
