Hi Everyone,

My we are a busy and interesting group! I love hearing about all the
summer plans and activities.

Blossomz, how fun for you. Do you have pictures of your experience?
Would love to see them.

Think I'll check out that movie club...

Deb

I don't have photos myself, but I know if you check out allears.net they had photographers there. There was also a broadcast live from the event which you can listen to at wdwtoday.com. You should check out all of the fun!

Muushka
Just saw the hurricane warning. Stay safe!

Deb

Aww. You are so sweet. I think it is ok for us, we are inland, but I appreciate the kind thoughts.

Actually what we are living with right now is that awful murder of the mom of 2 little girls. It is about 4 miles from here, and the grocery store where the father bought the bleach that morning is my store. So sad. But after the Duke Lacrosse debacle, the area is being very careful rushing to judgment.

Hi groupies just want to let everyone know they can head over to Unofficial Vacation Magic Podcast and listen to some lodge chat with Muushka, Blossomz, and Eliza61. Thanks for being on the show ladies.

Unofficial Vacation Magic Podcast

If you don't mind my asking, where did you get that cute little green VWL sign with the moose, and is there a t-shirt? We get to go home in a little over a month. YEAhhhhh!

 

[WDWRR_ENGINEER]

I also told them about our DVC podcaster!

Thanks for the mention. I love listing to WDW Today and WDW Radio they inspired me to do my podcast. I was lurking on the live cam site for most of the day.

It sold out very fast this year did not get a chance to register. There is always next year.

Thanks again.

A few days ago, we got some new furniture for our living room. The room already has a dark woodtone mojo thing going on, so naturally we had to get some dark brown furniture to go with it(WL influence, no doubt ). So anyway, Tammy and I went to Lowes last night looking for a rug to sorta go along with the theme. Low and behold, we both fall in love with this rug whose name is Cheyenne(yes, the rug has a name). Well, with a name like that, you know it has that western feel too it. Needless to say, we are gonna get that rug. I got a feeling those WL pics we have are gonna go real nice in that room.

It was funny, there were at least 50 different styles of rugs to look at, and the one we liked was about the 5th one we saw. To be fair, we looked at every one, and each time we saw one that might go with what we have colorwise, Tammy would say, ohhh, I like that on, then a few steps away, she would say, but I still like the Cheyenne better.

Its amazing how one place like WL can influence you so much. Before, the western theme stuff didnt trip our fancy. Now I want to decorate the house in it!!

 

[jimmytammy]

Love the podcasts! And thanks for putting voices to our groupie friends.

 

[blossomz]

Oh Muushka! That's awful!

WDWRR Engineer: Loved being on the podcast. The guys at WDWtoday thought that was really a great idea and no one else does a strictly DVC one!

Jimmytammy-you guys might have to post a photo for us to see! It sounds great!

Does anyone know if all dedicated 2br at VWL have 2 queens in the second bedroom?

 

[blossomz]

Yes, I think that is correct. The lock offs have the open up sofa and 1 queen.

 

[Granny]

Yep, all dedicated 2BR at VWL have two queen beds in the second bedroom. I believe that only BCV (of the on-site DVC resorts) has the quirky 2BR's where some have two queens and some have queen + sleeper/sofa.

Hi LindaBabe and welcome. We got our Moose mascot a while back. When we first started posting on this thread, a very kind tag fairy took pity on us and gifted us with this beautiful Moose, with our logo on it. She or he has since created tags for all the other DVC resorts, but clearly, ours are the most unique! Not to mention, the original! Enough of that babble. Steal it!! Add it to your siggy!!

Is VWL your home resort? Please, grab a rocking chair out on the porch, or in front of the fireplace and sit with us a spell. And while you are home, think of us, and take some pictures and share your vacation with us. We live for this stuff....

I agree JT, about taste in home decor following the WL motif. My taste in furniture has gone from golden oak to dark tone woods. My last 2 lamps that I bought have been mission style. And my paint choices (for smaller rooms) have been VWL type colors.

And I found a great trick the other day. I was painting and realized that the matting on some pictures I had were either faded or cream color, not very interesting. So I used some paint colors that I had done in my VWL rooms and those prints look much more interesting now. They were easy to paint too!

So, I will check out your new rug, Cheyenne, at Lowe's today!

 

[50 years Too!]

Welcome LindaBabe!Glad to have a new groupie.

Jimmytammy--it is so cute that you and Tammy are "on the same page" with decorating. Don't even get me started with Mr. 50yearsToo!
BTW He hates my name-wants people to think we're in our thirties!
He goes along with my Disney addiction and signs the palm trees when I add on so I can't complain TOO much.
Idea--maybe we should start a VWL Groupie decorating contest. I know several of your homes' decor would be strong contenders.

I'll be checking in to a ded 2 bed in December with my older kids.
Don't want fighting over the "real" bed.
Have you found that they always give you a dedicated?
The reason I ask is because I have had dedicated listed on reservations for BCV and been given a lock off instead.

Groupies:

I will be offline for a week and a half or so and wanted to check in beforehand to say goodbye and explain why.

My DH and I are leaving this week for our big Alaska vacation in celebration (early) of our 15th anniversary (that isn't until October). It's not a cruise. It's a tour. Part of it is by train, part of it is by motor coach, there is a daylong trip into Denali, and there are two days of boat cruises into glaciers and such. I'm *so* excited (and overwhelmed) at the thought of being gone for so long!

I'll check back in when we return - at which point I'll be starting a short countdown until our visit to the beloved VWL in mid-September!

 

[ransom]

What a fantastic idea for an early 15th Anniversary trip!!

Have a wonderful time, Dodie!

 

[Muushka]

Yes, awesome anniversary trip! Have a wonderful time,

Dodie!!!

 

[DiznyDi]

Hi Dodie!
Sounds like a fabulous trip! Take lots of photos. Here's wishing you even see a moose or two and when you do, think of us.

Deb....If our reservation states Dedicated 2BR at VWL, that's what we've always gotten. Last time we got a lock-off but that's what the reservation said.

Sorry to hear that about BCV...our reservation that starts this weekend says "2BR Dedicated - 2 Queen Beds". I'll be a might disappointed if we don't get that.

BTW He hates my name-wants people to think we're in our thirties!

Deb...I always figured you were in your 20's or 30's! I thought your user name referred to the length of the DVC contracts!
