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

[Muushka]

We LOVE Dixie Landings . Next to VWL/WL, this is our favorite resort. Can I assume you have stayed there before??

 

[50 years Too!]

Vacation season seems to be in full swing!
Have fun all of you going soon.

Muushka congrats on booking that cruise. We'll want to hear all about it.
I have a first DVC cruise booked Oct 09; thinking I should have taken advantage of this one instead.

Blossomz, really anxious to hear about your family gathering. Hope it goes smoothly and is all you hope it will be.

Dodie Podcast cruise should be very informative and interesting. And a great excuse to stay twice at VWL!

One more day until I can book my sister/sister-in-law stay at VWL for May.
Then I'll be at the bottom of that list.

Thanks for the cruise congrats. Today, we put the hard cold cash down on a cabin. We chose the "AquaSpa" cabin! This is the one that only allows 2 adults in it. The one that has it's own private relaxation deck! The one that has it's own special dining room (adults only, of course, with lots of tables for 2)! There probably won't be any kiddos in the halls either!!

I guess you could call me a Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde for cruises and children. This year, Disney Magic, next year, Celebrity in an area that has no children! Don't get me wrong, I do love kids and I can appreciate them, but sometimes I just want quiet. And this cruise is still more than $1,000 less than DCL!

Which leads me to the next point. Is anyone interested in an official Groupie Meet for 2009? We will be there on Dec 6 thru Dec 13 (Sun thru Fri or Sat). How fun would that be?????

Our 3 family trips are always so much fun. We qualify for a grand gathering..and we've done almost all of them. (Just not the breakfast at Tony's) but we always register so we can get the magical gathering shirt that is offered! We are always "Simba's Pride" and we just add the year to the end! So this year we are Simba's Pride 2008! It makes for great memories, photos, and comments!

Can anyone tell me what the VWL lookd like for the holidays? we have stayed in the main building in December and it was so beautiful... we are staying in the villlas for our mid-November trip and we were hoping the villas will be decorated as well...

Share pics if you have them...Thanks!

Awwww. I wish we were going to be there to look for Simba's Pride family! Sounds like fun....

I have a great picture of the tree in their lobby (a very nice one at that!). Got to go dig.....

PS Not sure when the Christmas decorations go up. When exactly are you going?

 

[Corinne]

Corinne...I just checked and noticed that I somehow don't have your trip dates on the Groupies trip list!!

If you can provide the dates I'll be happy to update the list.

Thanks, Granny! July 3-8th our "last-minute" trip is also one of the shortest we have ever taken. We were actually going to take this year off (what a RIDICULOUS notion!) so I guess I won't complain ....too much

 

[Corinne]

Our little one is turning 8 on July 3rd. Still qualifies as a child by disney standards...lol]

Awww! It won't be long until he is an ADULT! hehe!

I was certain our son would be born on the 3rd (which is my father's birthday), but no, he wanted fireworks on his birthday every year!

 

[MiaSRN62]

Dave....have a great stay at SSR ! Hope you can drop-in and visit the Lodge !

Blossomz....the Simba's Pride sounds fun. Looking forward to hearing about it upon your return.

danielle...sorry, I only have holiday pics of the main Lodge. Hoping Muushka can find hers.

Muushska....congrats on booking the Celebrity cruise---the AquaSpa room sounds really awesome. Are they photos online anywhere ?
I wish I was going in Dec....I'd love to have a groupie meet.....but alas, with older kids in school now, we have to pretty much go during the summer.

 

[MiaSRN62]

YOOOOOOOOOOO... DODIE !!!!!!!!!!!!

Cracked me up Keliblue !!!

Oh yeah.......DODIE !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Muushka]

Maria, at this point all they have is artist's rendering. After November there should be lots.
Some day we will meet....

 

[50 years Too!]

The Aquaspa room sounds like heaven!
I also got a email blurb about the early sailing dates for the new ship.
Maybe its a sign? Why not take a DVC cruise on October 31 and turn around and take another November 30th?

Oh wait, the husband convincing issue.

Any suggestions for stating my case?

Deb

 

[jimmytammy]

Muushka

I imagine we will be at the Lodge in Dec 09 around that same time. We would love to have a meet!

We are going November 15th-22nd....I know that most resorts and parks are all done decorating for the start of the MVMCP, which is the 10th this year.

Ahhh, that would be wonderful. For the record, we aren't doing the DVC cruise. Too rich for my blood!
Nope, Sept 27th is a double dip. Probably better! And longer and cheaper!!!

As far as stating your case, come with us on the Celebrity cruise. VWL first, then cruise. Sounds great, doesn't it!!

Muushka

WooHoo Then it's official! I can't wait.

Wow, they start those earlier and earlier, which is good. So many more people can see them. It will be fun!!

 

[Granny]

We just booked a Sept. trip Vero Beach & POR Sept 4-13 couldn't get into VWL ohhhhhhh well, we will be there at Xmas

I'm kind of surprised you couldn't get VWL in early September. Did you waitlist there? I thought that might be one of the few times of the year that one could book within a few months...I guess not.

In any event, I've added your trip to the Groupies trip list!

Your trip is "in the books" on page 1.

Good Morning Everyone!
Thought I'd drop in to say Hi
We were fortunate enough to have stayed in the villas last December. It was breathtaking, peaceful and serene all at the same time. I hated the stress of booking day by day at the 7 month mark, so Dear Husband has agreed to an add-on. I have already called our guide and have the ball rolling. So, please, may I join the groupies?
