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

[bgraham34]

In a couple of hours, I'll be doing my 24 hour checkin with Southwest.

Today is all about laundry.
Well, maybe laundry isn't that exciting but still.

In 24 hours, I'll be pulling out of my driveway and heading to the airport!

Lucky you. I have 28 days to go and I can't wait. Have a Blast.

I was just scouting the first page to see who all was heading home. You can have Granny add your name if you want to have people (like me ) drool while seeing the lucky critters heading home.

28 days!!!Whoo hoo!!

We actually have about 35, but we won't be at VWL.

I scored a silver medal in the Southwest online checkin event! Someone beat me for the gold though and managed to snag #16 and 17 in the A boarding group. It's always fun to see how good we can get. I'm weird!

The laundry is progressing nicely. Of course, DH just called and said he'll probably be late because of work drama. Nothing new there!

We haven't decided whether we're taking the laptop or not, if we do, I'll give you an update.

Thanks for the warm vacation wishes!!

How do I do that. Ugh I can't wait. I need some fun and sun and a whole lot of Dole Whips.

Hi, fellow groupies. Thought you'd like to see the dinnerware set on sale. See the link below.

Those are so cool!

LOL! I was checking out the groupie posts and was going to say that it's great to see a pic of your corgi!!!! Considering that my youngest (the one in the pic) is 40 pounds I can't exactly say they're big dogs in "little" dog bodies. My vet is very happy with his weight - he's just like a mac truck! But I don't have to worry about what I place on a counter top. I'm in MN right now and missing my boys a lot.

You're Pemmie girl is beautiful Disney loving Iowan!

Thanks! Too bad we can't get them together for a playdate! I knew Cardigans were bigger. Mine weighs about 20 pounds and should at most weigh 25.

Hoping it was a moose pet that lived a full life and his owner couldn't part with his beloved moosie?

I will try to keep telling myself that!!

I think doing Disney trip laundry is exciting! It's the only time I don't mind all that much doing it! Hope you have a great trip!!! I am so jealous!

Since our 6-year-old German Shepherd weighs about 90 pounds and our 7-month-old already weighs 60 pounds - I'd say you have a little dog and Corgis would be "downsizing" for us! It's all relative.

Are yours Pembrokes or Cardigans?

Oh - and to keep this on topic - I'll add that DH and I only have 27 days until our first visit to VWL as owners!!!!! (Not our first visit to WL or VWL.)

DODIE!!
How exciting!!!! Enjoy having your trip to look forward to for the next 27 days! It goes way too fast! I really enjoyed when we first were welcomed home as owners. It meant so much more than when we heard it when renting someone else's points!
Didn't know if you were just asking Kat4Disney about hers but mine is a Pembroke.
You know I was just looking at my pups picture sandwiched between the mooses and she fits right in with her antler ears!

 

[Muushka]

How do I do that. Ugh I can't wait. I need some fun and sun and a whole lot of Dole Whips.

I think we could start a new shout. How about:

GRANNY!!!

That should get his attention. Post on this thread and just let him know your dates!

PS Enjoy the Dole Whip (we love those things too!)

 

[blossomz]

Pixiechick..when I do laundry to leave for a trip..that is the BEST type of laundry! Have a great trip! Wish I was going with you!

Oh man, Barb....nearly busted my ear drums!!

No need to shout bgraham34...just let us know the dates of your stay and where you'll be staying.

Anyone think Maria is bored of WDW by now?

Hey fellow groupies this is off topic but I could really use your good thoughts and prayers right now. I had told you all in a previous post about our dog Montana having cancer. Well it has gotten to the point where we need to end his suffering. His nasal tumor has gotten into his tear ducts and is really affecting his eye. It drains terribly and the vet thinks it is painful. So we need to do what we have been dreading. We know it has to be done but this is awful. He is 9 years old but were hoping to have him alot longer. We are going to take him to the vet to have it done on Saturday. Boy I sure do love having dogs but hate this part of it. He has been a good dog and we sure will miss him. Here are some pictures of him before the tumor started to show and he still looked beautiful. I sure am going to miss his soulful eyes.

 

[pixiechick]

DLI: That is one beautiful dog. I remember being where you are many years ago. I can almost remember the pain, thankfully, it does dull with time. It wasn't an easy decision, but it was the right one. I wish you lots of strength, and will keep you and Montana in my thoughts.

Thank you Pixiechick, I sure appreciate it.

Oh my, Montana is a beautiful dog. That bottom picture is just breathtaking. And I see you added her to your signature! She looks like she is a wonderful dog.

Saturday will be a difficult day. To say the least. I will be thinking about you, and Misa and most of all, Montana. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

 

[KAT4DISNEY]

I'll be thinking of you and your family and the lovely Montana.

 

[Muushka]

Oops, just noticed it is not the same picture, but a great one too.

 

[bgraham34]

OK Granny

Sept 12th through the 17th in a studio at VWL.

 

[Buckeye Fan]

Here are some pics that I thought you guys may enjoy. I took a ton, so I'm sure you'll get your fix!

BTW, to my surprise, VWL is one of my favorites! I usually don't care for the "hotel" style resorts, but WOW. What an absolutely AMAZING resort. I now understand why you guys love it as much as you do!

We just got back today, and we're already trying to figure out when we can go back again. Thought you guys would enjoy this story...

DH: Do you like Disney more than the beach.
Me: In some ways, yes. Why?
DH: Well, I think I've turned a corner. This is the first time that I can honestly say that I think I enjoy Disney more than I enjoy the beach.
Me: Absolutely. There's so many things we know we like to do, and yet so many new things that it doesn't get boring.

What I wanted to say..."See, I told ya so!"

Hey fellow groupies this is off topic but I could really use your good thoughts and prayers right now.

Sorry. Just saw this.

You are absolutely in my thoughts and prayers. We just had our 14 YO Boston Terrier put to sleep on April 2, and I truly feel your pain. I made the decision to go in with her and was so glad I did.

There's nothing I can say, but please know there's someone out there who truly understands!

Hey fellow groupies this is off topic but I could really use your good thoughts and prayers right now.

I'll be thinking of you on Saturday. You're right - this is a tough part of being a dog owner. We went through it twice last year with our older dogs. You just have to think about the positives of the fact that at least this is an option with a beloved pet. You can choose to end the suffering. It's a brave thing to do and it's the right thing to do.

 

[blossomz]

DLI..know that your groupies will be with you on Saturday. Montana is beautiful.

 

[DiznyDi]

Good Morning Groupies!
I've been away from the boards the past week or so. My dad lost his battle with cancer and was laid to rest on Tuesday. To go back and read the posts has been very therapeutic for me.

Disney Loving Iowan - Our four footed friends leave lasting paw prints on our hearts. I feel your pain. Montana is a beautiful dog. Good thought and prayers coming your way today...and tomorrow too!
