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

[Granny]

Do you have plans to head over the our beloved lodge in the next few days?

Jill,...Thanks for the kind wishes in your note. At this point, I'm not sure that we'll be making it over to the Lodge. 8 days always sounds like a lot of time but since we tend to sleep in, our days are kind of short and I'm not sure we'll be able to head over there. I'm going to give it a try at some point though!

Glad your having fun Granny. I don't know what size unit you are in but are the pull out beds the new ones or does anyone know when they may arrive at WLV?

We are in a dedicated 2BR at BCV so the only pull out bed is in the living room (I'm sitting on it as I type this). The sleeper/sofa here is the new kind with the strap that pulls the top back of the sofa towards you and unfolds into a bed.

Granny thanks for letting us know how your trip is going. Is Art the very outgoing and friendly man who greets you when you enter the main lobby?

Yes, that's Art. Here he is in all his glory! Jimmy...you may recognize this photo since I stole it from you on the "Art the Greeter" thread!

All of us here know you'll love it! Join the thread and you'll learn all kinds of things to enhance your trip.


Just went to Skamania Lodge for one night. Some of you might remember I posted pictures last winter. Helped my VWL lodge fix somewhat, but in a way,
just made me miss it that much more. I wonder if they'd play WL music at Skamania if I asked nicely???

Maria Almost time for your vacation!

Hi All!

Whether you're home or on vacation(Granny), I hope summertime has been good to you.

Tried to book VWL for a 3 night studio stay for September 12-15 and the Sunday wasn't available so we're at SSR, which is fine, fewer points after all. But if you're interested in throwing some Pixie Dust our way for waitlist success, that would be appreciated as well! What's a few points savings worth anyway...all borrowed points, of course.

Our family stay in June was wonderful, but the truth is, it flew by so quickly that I hardly remember it, have to see the pictures. Then I've been in Cape May where DM fell and broke her shoulder. She's in rehab, everyone in the family will be congregating in Cape May in just a few days again, so she will get plenty of company and encouragement. She's 88, and once the shoulder heals, she could do more therapy to help her get back home. DMom is a real VWL groupie at heart, she owns 25 VWL points to prove the point. She was our guest one December, in the hot tub and told me to buy her some points so that when she comes again she won't just be a guest on our points. She did make it back to VWL, but she can sure use some prayers now. To be honest, in this present rehab place, she seems to be thriving...interested in eating in the cafeteria, not just alone in her room, and her mind even seems clearer. I'm wondering if this fall could be a blessing in disguise. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Welcome!!! Hope you have a blast on your vacation! You will love VWL!!!

Bobbi,

Wishing your Mom as speedy a recovery as possible. I bet therapy would be more fun for her if it could take place in the hot tub at our beloved lodge.

Welcome to Gowahoowa!! I was the newest groupie one short year ago. Trust me. You're going to love this group. Groupies rock!!!

Can anyone speak to the difficulty in getting a studio at the 11 month booking window? Is it generally fairly easy even with the small number of studios available?

 

[Muushka]

Bobbi, your mom sounds wonderful. You must be so glad that she is thriving in her new environment(so many times they don't). And she bought 25 points at VWL. Bless her heart. . I hope she heals quickly. How long will you be at SSR? We will be at OKW starting on the 20th.

You made it!! Can I invite you to grab our VWL Moosie Siggy? I'll bet he will look wonderful on you .

Josh! I can speak for this. If it was December, I would call day-by-day, hey.......we don't have to do that anymore! I think you should be fine calling at 11 months.

Muushka, we're only in SSR for 3 nights, so we're not overlapping THIS time. DH and I met Simba's Mom in May...it's fun to meet up with some on line friends...I hope that works out someday!

Thanks all for the best wishes for mom. I'll be sending her a note, she like to have something to read, she's not big on phone calls. I'll be sure to mention the hot tub! We would all be thrilled if she could get to WDW again!

Bobbi

 

[Muushka]

I met Simba's Mom once too! She gets around!
