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

[ransom]

On the subject of whether this thread feels exclusionary or cliqueish, I agree with Eliza. Although I'm not a frequent participant, and only came to the party last year, I've never felt unwelcome or not a part of the group. And I've never seen anyone not be welcomed heartily. And the infrequent side discussions touching on our private, non-Disney lives lends our group some cohesion that we wouldn't otherwise have.

As long as the main topic remains VWL/WDW, I don't see a problem.

Thanks! Now just how do I grab that moose...by the antlers or by the tail?

Really, I've got to see if this dummy can figure it out!

Just right click on the groupie image and copy the address line. Paste with insert image icon.

Hi all!

Just posting to show off my sig...hope you like it. I've got to make them a little bigger. Can I use the groupie moose too?

Looks great! Love the rocking chair pic. You can take (or I like to use the term 'steal') anything you want! Maria is the best one to look out for, she has awesome graphics.

Ransom, I had to go back to read what I missed about your trip being canceled. I am so sorry to hear this.

Granny, my imagination just took an great ride. I was thinking 'what if Disney did add danger to VWL'??

At night, when you walk around, you see 2 green lit up eyes off in the woods. And the low rumble of tiger growls.

You walk from VWL to WL for your morning coffee, when all of a sudden a T-Rex jumps out at you from behind the Welcome Home Mickey Mouse topiary!

You get in the beautiful elevators at VWL. The doors close and the Twilight Zone music starts playing and the elevator plunges 5 floors!

When you check in, they have the Haunted Mansion type person at the desk.

The valet attendant is the guy from Ferris Bueller's Day off!

Now, the music from Psycho..... Shower anyone??

Y'all make me smile and laugh! No other thread does that for me- even if I am lurking I never feel left out of the friendliest thread going! Even if we all have differences on everything else, if we love the VWL and WL there is a brotherhood/sisterhood thing going on with us!

 

[Dodie]

Hi guys! I'm just chiming in to say, as someone who just purchased VWL a month ago and joined your little group "on the spot," I've felt totally welcomed! I may not post very often on the thread, but it's not because of the personal nature of the chat.

I think I'm going to shoot for becoming a "regular"! That means I expect everyone to holler Dodie! [e.g., Norm! on Cheers] everytime I show up from now on!

Now, to the important information: 3 months and 12 days until our next trip to VWL (our first as DVC members)!

 

[Muushka]

Dodie!!

Loud enough??

Grab that rocking chair and get comfy. And visit often, even if it is about nothing. Happy planning!

Oooh a groupie with a cheer.

Granny. That was quite the analogy.Hope you don't mind if I have an iced tea instead.

Iced Tea is perfectly acceptable. Feel free to use my 8 year old WL refillable mug!!

I second the motion that you include many details from your upcoming wedding planning trip!! So glad that you plan to post a link to your trip report. Would love to hear what options are available for folks who wish to have a wedding or reception right there at the WL. Don't go out of your way to gather such information if it does not suit your situation, but if you happen to stumble across it, by all means share! That certainly counts as on topic!

Best wishes to you and the future Mrs. Island Mouse!

Thank you. And they do offer the WL as a wedding ceremony location, but they can only allow 10 people at that particular location. It's on the Sunrise Terrace (not sure where exactly that is at the lodge). So anyone wanting to have a really small wedding or vow renewal ceremony at the WL can. Unfortunately for us our wedding party alone exceeds that 10 person max, so we opted for Epcot instead.

Can you imagine, Island Mouse will leave home on Saturday and not arrive until Sunday!
Now that is true Disney love. And I complain about hitting the traffic in Orlando! Shame on me .

I know, it's a long trip. But at least the long part goes by the fastest. (The trip to Disney always seems exponentially faster than the trip home from Disney). The total travel time is just over 12 hours, but then you add the 6-hour time difference and the next thing you know, Saturday night is gone and its already Sunday morning. We land at 7:30am, but in Hawaii it will only be 1:30am. The real challenge will be trying to make it all the way through EMH's at MK Sunday night (EMH until 2am!!).

IM. Sounds like a wonderful short trip. Enjoy and please share

Thank you, and I will. One more day of "work" to go!!

and....

DODIE!!!

 

[DaveH]

IM that sounds like a long day. I would suggest if possible, a nap around 5PM. Have a great trip.

Next Thursday I will be at WDW. SSR 1BR Thursday, OKW Studio Friday and Saturday and OKW 1 BR Sunday. Talk about living out of the suitcase. Couldn't get a studio the whole time and too cheap for a 1BR the whole time. I am looking forward to Toy Story Mania and might do Star Wars weekend. If I have time I will pass by the Lodge. Staying at VWL starting Nov 30th, on wait list for Nov 23 to 30Th.

BTW my mugs are from 2001 our first trip home. Then we got the smaller ones later.

Yes, Dave, that is a lot of moving around, but you won't be in one place long enough to get it dirty!!

[Dodie]

Thanks for all of the shout-outs guys!!!! Sometimes you wanna go... where everybody knows your name...



That picture of Rocky is a little scary though!

Hope everyone has a great weekend. We're expecting some strong storms tonight - but the rest of the weekend doesn't look bad.

 

[Muushka]

Keli, that is just nasty. Funny, but nasty.
