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

[pixiechick]

Nice pictures!! Is that the one up by the Poconos? Looks like a fun weekend trip.

I hope you'll don't mind me hanging around a little. We head down to BCV in a few weeks and at the last minute added a couple of nights at WL at the beginning of the trip. I can't wait! This thread has been helping me get through the days!

We are happy for any visitors to drop by.

If you have any questions about WL/VWL, feel free to ask. You won't find a more knowledgeable and friendly group to answer questions than here!

Wow, quite a place Maria. About those parking lot views.....
A couple of years ago we stayed at BWV. We hated the walk to the parking lot, long....hot. No, not even mentioning the looooong hallways . Then we stayed at Bonnet Creek and got the 'parking lot' view. Since then, I have come to appreciate WDW resorts and the way they really try to avoid the parking lot view problems that a lot of resorts have. And I stopped complaining about the walk to the parking lot!

Granny! You will be packing soon!!

Hiya Pixiechick Visit often!

Confident you'll become a groupie after your nights at WL!
Thanks for visiting, and hope you decide to take up residence.
You won't find a nicer group of groupies anywhere!

thanks for the welcomes!

we stayed at VWL for one night post cruise back in 2002. DS got sick almost immediately after checking in. I had just met Ranger Stan and was thrilled, next thing I know DS's puking all over the lobby.

Somehow, we got one of those rare DVC upgrades from a studio to a 1 bedroom. (I have 2 theories on why: we were only there for 1 night and the CM checking us in had just come back to working there and the system was different. She kept thanking us for our patience. Next thing I knew we had a 1 bedroom.) We spent the rest of the day sitting in the room while DS slept. The 1BR saved us! I've been dying to get back there since then but it never worked out until now!

Glad everyone liked the pics of GWL. I just got back from picking up the girls. They had a blast. I agree about the parking lot view----not as horrible as some hotels and a little more landscaping would have been nice. But from my shot, you can't really see, but when you turn 90 degrees to the left and look you can see the tree-lined mountains in the distance (yes Pixiechicks---it's the Pocono Mtns )

And by all means Pixiechicks....please stay awhile. Nice to have ya
Have a great stay at the BCV/WL

Wow Dodie. I just noticed that you are an oldtimer on the boards like me!

And that "Moose Dropping" shirt is outstanding!!


Thanks for sharing the pix.

8 more days.

That was a seriously funny shirt. Have a great time Granny, I'm computer-less for the next couple of days (hanging out at the beach, or rather "the shore" as we call it around here) so hoping you'll have a great time at my home resort.

Thanks Eliza...I'll try to be respectful and not keep asking people where the Iron Spike room is while I'm at BCV!

And if you slip and ask, try not to sob while asking, K?

Granny, I hope you get the same location we got the one time we stayed there. We were able to see the fireworks perfectly. I really love that resort. Well, as much as a mother can love a child not her own (not that I would know what that is!).

pixiechick!

Hope everyone enjoys their week-end! Ohio promises to be much like Florida - hot, in the 90's and rain.

To all the Groupies headed to the World - have a great time!

Try not to dwell on the fact that there are many of us left at home mowing the grass, cleaning the gutters, painting the house, washing windows... you get the picture .... and wishing we were where you are!

Enjoy!

Welp, it's Friday, and we're all another week closer to our next trip to our beloved VWL!

This weekend has a good chance of thunderstorms in my neck of the woods, and the forecast keeps fluctuating between 80 and 86 degrees. We're hoping for no rain and something around 80 for Sunday, the day we traditionally go to our local Six Flags park for "WDW Training." We normally bring a cooler and eat lunch in the car, but if it's too hot we'll have to either cut the stay short or pay their exorbitant prices for their crappy food. So here's hoping for a dry, not-too-hot Sunday!

This weekend also brings our every Saturday and Sunday night movie tradition. This Saturday we'll be watching the second half of disc 2 of Disneyland: Secrets Stories, and Magic. On Sunday, we'll either watch the Great Locomotive Chase or, if the Disney Movie Club gets our order to us, either Finding Neverland or The Prestige. (Sunday is normally Disney Animated Feature night, but we've finally watched all the ones that are available, except for some of the "package" ones, which we've decided to make Saturday features, since we tend to like the shorter or more varied stuff on that night. So we'll be starting on watching all the live action movies made during Walt Disney's life during the coming Sundays, with some current stuff thrown in for good measure.)

So there ya go -- more than you ever wanted to know about my weekend.

I hope all your plans come together, and all your wishes for this weekend come true.

Wow Dodie. I just noticed that you are an oldtimer on the boards like me!

Yep. Been here forever. Actually before the 1999 date that shows up here - as I lived through multiple board crashes where we had to reregister. That's what my first tag references.

Never became one of the popular kids (i.e., famous poster) though. I guess I'm just too mild-mannered and I definitely avoid controversy!!!! Of course, since now "everybody knows my name" and hollers it when I enter the groupie thread - I feel VERY popular!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Dodie!!

Morning gang. Hope everyone are staying cool this summer. Low 90s with 90+% humidity here the last 3 days. Thank heaven for A/C and swimming pools.

Have a great trip Granny even if its at BCV I need to update our Jan trip. I switched the 23rd and 4th over to ASMovies to save the pts for a 13 niter next summer. Still at VWL for 25th-30th though. Never stayed at a value before. Should be interesting.

to all newcomers.

Have fun at Six Flags ransom. Here's to 80 deg.

Hope you are enjoying "the shore" Eliza.

Loved the Moose dropping shirt Maria. We stayed at GWL in Sandusky Ohio last year. The kids had a ball. I didn't take any pics though.

Have a Wonderful Weekend Groupies
