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

[KAT4DISNEY]

Hello,


Which brings me to my question. Does anyone know if they run a dedicated boat for WL in the summer or does it share with FW? Not sure if this is a trivia question or not but expect this is THE place to find the answer.

Regards,

My understanding when we were there in Dec is that they "permanently" switched to a dedicated boat from WL to MK so you should be good to go! I've read a few reports recently that indicate it is still that way.

Have a great trip!!!!!

Hi Groupies,

Just back from 3 days in Las Vegas with my DD. Had great mother/daughter bonding before she moves to Japan for a year.
I'm really getting emotional about this.

Lots going on here, as usual. First thing I did was come to catch up!

Welcome Mr. Man , good to have a new groupie.
When I was at the lodge last they did have dedicated boats. They are the smaller ones.

Tammy, feel better. I think you need a trip home when you recover!

GOG, and Blossomz thanks for the reports. Makes me so homesick!

Missed saying by to Corrine, but if you are connected while there, have a fantastic time.

Dodie!

Happy 4th of July everyone.

Deb

Good afternoon Groupies!

We've been away from the Boards (again) for awhile and just catching up on the "goings on" with everyone. It's been a wild ride for a couple of months - between finding out that I'll be out of work either the end of this month or end of August (not sure yet); two sick pups for awhile (at one point our kitchen looked like something out of a horror movie ), etc. we've not been to "Our Happy Place" in awhile! Anyway, our DCL cruise and stay at the Villas after will be our "reward" at the end of a couple of "Off Kilter" months!

Hey Musshka - we are going to try and reserve Palo too - and never having been before - why the 3 am time? We can't reserve until August 5th - is there some tip as to why you're doing it at 3 am? Curious. We really want to book there - aren't sure which of the 4 nights we should do it either.

Tonight at 3 AM we will make our reservations for Palo for our cruise this Sept. Can't wait!!

Looks like everyone is having great trips - we've enjoyed reading about Toy Story - can't wait to experience it!

Oh Deb. It must be difficult for your daughter to be leaving home. She must be a good kid.

Welcome back HappyDinks! Sorry about the pending job loss. Not fun. And sick pups! Oh my!!

Yes, a cruise and vacation is def needed! About the Palo reservations. I was wrong!! Our 90th day out was June 29. We were able to call at 12 AM that day, not having to wait till 3. Which I didn't find out until after the fact!! So good luck! What I found was the the brunch was all filled up, but we had no problem getting dinner. But I also found out that they release more slots for the 75 day out people and we can try again then.

Also, be warned, if you do get any reservations, be sure to write down the res number. I booked a pedicure for my husband's feet (I owed him it after his leg injury last year) and DCL lost it!

Too bad we can't be on the same cruise. It seems like all the threads for DCL are for people with kids. We need more DINKS!!!

Hi Deb:

Actually, no you didn't! Our flight leaves at 7:30PM! Thanks for thinking of me. I am sorry to hear your DD is moving to Japan for a year, hopefully the time will go by super quick.
I will be connected at the Lodge and will try my best to post as much as possible! Good intentions and all that!

I just listened to show #2. Great! I loved your attitude towards the new booking rules. I agree 100% and refuse to get upset about it! And it was fun listening to Tammy. Thank you for doing this, it gives us an opportunity to get to know each other!

Lots of us DVC'ers are also DCL people, that would be an interesting topic too! Ooh, there is a member cruise coming up......

We appreciate his service

Hi Bobbi Happy 4th of July !!

We invite him on EVERY trip.. but I think at this point in his life, he would much rather go to Hawaii with his buddies when he gets leave Hanging with mom & dad just isn't cool . I am being patient because one day he is going to be begging for my pts.

Jimmy...glad to hear Tammy made it through..I had that surgery a couple of years ago and I'm as good as new now.

Mr. Man..just got back from the Lodge..there IS a dedicated boat from the Lodge to MK...It's to the left side of the dock..


Happy Fourth to all the groupies!!

 

[Dodie]

Excellent photos, Blossomz!

Happy Independence Day, Groupies!

 

[cheer4bison]

Thanks Blossomz for the great pictures. I particularly love the one of Ranger Stan. Nice work!

 

[blossomz]

I have to tell you guys..my cousins thought I was nuts..I kept saying I had to get some good photos for my groupies!

 

[heath-and-javens-mom]

subbing...saw your post on the WL thread and thought Id come take a peek
BTW our very first visit to the WL will be on Aug 31st 2008...we are staying for 6 nights.

Tammy is having rotator cuff surgery this morning. If you dont mind, keep her in your thoughts and prayers today.

You got it jimmytammy....thoughts and prayers going out. My uncle had this surgery last year. He walked into the side view mirror of his car and tore his rotary cuff. He had to go through months of physical therapy too. I wish Tammy all the best.

LOL@ those "lame" resorts......Be careful, those "old-timers" at OKV are cantankerous grouches when it comes to defending their Home Resorts honor....... I have bruises from their walkers & canes to prove it

Mr Man.........but (ahem...ahem).
Watch where you tread with your comments about OKW.

It is my "home" resort and I do hold a very special place for it in my heart.


So I'll let your comments slide this one time Mr Man ....but "it's ON" if there's a next time !

to heath-and-javens-mom too !!!

Hey all

Thanks for all the prayers, thoughts and well-wishes. Tammy is doing well but is very sore. Turns out there was no tear in RC. She had a bone spur and it was causing much inflammation. Dr said it would take about a month with re-hab to get full use back. She rested well(those meds sure pack a punch) so that is a blessing.

As Muushka stated, never in a million yrs did I ever think I would have cyber friends, let alone those I could lean on. You groupies are the best!

Jimmy, thanks for keeping us posted on Tammy. I'm so glad she's doing well. I'm with you on the groupies. I truly enjoy chatting with the gang.

Yup, it's me. Hiya Muushka!



I am really looking forward to the trip, in 29 days I hasten to add (needless gratuitous boast).

Welcome Mr. Man.
Warning: Needless gratuitous boast must be followed by groupie groveling for forgiveness in the way of pictures, pictures, pictures.
Did I mention this group loves vacation pictures. Have a wonderful vacation.

Hi Groupies,

Deb

Hey Deb,
Look at it as a reason why you will just have to visit Japan. My baby brother was stationed at Okinawa for 2 years. I use to terrorize him when we were little and missed the bugger when he left.

Excellent photos, Blossomz!

Happy Independence Day, Groupies!

Back at ya DODIE

Mia,
I got a chance to see Ben Franklin & Betsy Ross get married yesterday. It was a hoot.

 

[MiaSRN62]

Muushka : I didn't call the other resorts lame, I called their palm trees lame!!
Hey, this is one of the nicest threads that you will ever cast your eyes upon. We Groupies do not put down other DVC resorts!

Hey Muushka ! THANKS for saying this !!!!


50 Years.....I know it's got to be extremely difficult to be seeing your dd off to Japan for a year. I don't know if I could handle it. I'm having a hard enough time sending my 17 yo dd off to college in FL next month Hugs to you and Keliblue.

Happydinks.....sorry to hear about the rough seas. Do you have another job lined up ? And hope the pups are doing better.
