I know! I am so excited! Here is some pixie dust for you!!!!

I hope your waitlist comes through~it's so fun to see it on the DVC site!

Don't know if you meant it this way, but all I can think of is the "Ghost Host" at the end of the Haunted Mansion!!

I should have enclosed it in [Ghost Host][/Ghost Host] to get the voice right.

I am sorry I haven't read this whole thread yet but I need to ask the other VWL dvcrs a question. Do you ever request a room when staying there. We are staying in a 2 bd June 14-22 and I would like to request a nice area because usually we are at the end of the hallway. Could I request to be near the elevator. Is it too late. Thanks

You can always put requests in before arrival. Of course it doesnt guarantee that you will get what you ask for, but it cant hurt. We had a 2 bedroom near the elevator right in the corridor area and it was great!

Early arrival tends to help sometimes.

Can't believe tomorrow is the day!!!!!
Look at my ticker!!!!!
I am just a little excited!
I won't be in touch while I am there but when I get back I will post pictures. Hopefully I will see Lodgeloafer although it doesn't seem like anyone else has had any luck. The first thing I plan to do is buy my snowglobe!!
Any last words of advice for someone who hasn't been to the Lodge in 11 years?

As the daughter of a Vietnam Vet who came home I want to thank all vets and wish everyone a great Memorial Day! Hope the sun is shining where you are!

 

[TEXASPRINCESSES]

9 days and counting! Wahoo--think I'm more excited than my DD8--of course it is her 8th time to the world so what is there to be excited about! hahahahahahah

 

[loribell]

Sounds like "mutual stalking" to me!!

If it helps your stalking planning any, we'll probably be at AKV next year in early July. I'm hoping that Kidani will be fully operational at that time.

WDad....look forward to hearing more about your trip. What's your favorite part of Concierge? Being a non-AKV owner, it's probably a moot question but we've never stayed Concierge so I like to hear how people take advantage of it.

I just saw your reply today, don't know how I missed it before.

You know, I have been considering trying a stay at AKV next summer. I think my daughter will love the pool area!

 

[blossomz]

Disney Lovin Iowin!!! Wow! Have a wonderful time! I am excited for you!!

tink4ever..I agree with JimmyTammy-Definitely make the request asap.

Corinne...thanks for the pixiedust! One of my waitlists already came through..I went from a 1 BR to a 2 BR at VWL. Now I would like to do the same at AKV. However..with the extra chair bed and it being only 3 days..it will be OK if it doesn't come through. But...a little pixie dust never hurts!

 

[Disney loving Iowan]

Thanks Blossomz! I'll send some pixie dust your way too!

 

[blossomz]

Thank you!!!

We requested a room for our first ever DVC visit this past March and it worked like a charm. We asked for a high floor, pool view, and close to the elevator. I figured it was unlikely that they could meet all those requests, but they did and we couldn't have been more happy with our 2BR villa! It was an added bonus being able to see the Electric Water Pageant every night from our balcony at 9:35. So beautiful!

My advice is to go ahead and make your requests as soon as possible. I'm sure they will do their best to meet them.

Here is a photo of DS as he came nose-to-nose with Humphrey for the first time. He is very excited about the prospect of heading back "home" in December. That's my boy!

Thanks to all the groupies for their Memorial Day posts yesterday. What a fabulous, patriotic group.

It may be time to start (as if we ever stop ) thinking about your next WDW/WL vacation if....

• You heard the report on the news about the Phoenix landing on mars and your first thought was "Hey honey, they've updated the mission to mars ride in Epcot".
• After hearing reports of Black bear sightings in your area, your initial reaction is to run outside to see if you can "pat it's nose". (we've had a lot of bear cubs wandering into folks backyards in the Philly area lately)
  
• While standing in line at the deli counter in your local supermarket, the clerk calls out next and you automatically remember to check Grannys vacation list to see who's next in line.
  
• While sitting in the orthodontist office waiting for your 13 yo to get his new braces all you can think about is that your "adventures by disney" vacation is now officially sitting in this kids mouth. ( I'm sorry, I know in today's economic climate where many people are struggling just to buy gas & food, I know I must sound like a whining prig but there is some thing seriously wrong when the cost of braces and the GNP of Bolivia are pretty darn close. )

Happy Wednesday groupies and magical vacations DLI and Texas princess.
