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

Did I whine about that on the boards??? As a matter of fact, this is the first cruise that I have had absolutely no dizziness!
The seas were very calm, plus I used the patch the whole time (funny, I use it for after the cruise! ). Thanks for checking up on me .

Glad to hear that! Must have been the Disney Magic!

Well, I hate to be a party pooper, but the last time I was on the Disney Magic, I rocked for about 2 months .
30 foot seas will do that!!

Don't forget the wraps! 3 different ones daily!

They have awesome Pnnini's also! YUM! Also at dinner, there is always, always a steak option. I know because we took a friend with us on our Sept cruise and he ate steak every night!

We had 30 ft. seas on our Sept 5 nighter from Hanna. I was dizzy for 2 weeks! We woke up one night to the sound of stuff falling off the dressers. Never got sick but thank God for Bonine! It only lasted 12 hours - overnight. Other than that, pretty smooth.

Thats why I am cruising in May!!! So hoping I get a studio at 7 mos. If so, we'll be on the dining plan. Any recommendations for dinner near VWL?

 

[Laxmom]

Muushka, I heard that the regular itineraries are coming out 10/14.

BWV Dreamin, I haven't forgotten that I owe you a map. Laxdad is the one who does the scanning and he has been traveling a bunch for work. I will get it to you this week!

Steak every night...my family will be very happy!

Artist Point has great food and ambience if you don't want to leave WL.

Good morning everyone!

I don't know about all of you, but, with all of the bad economy news and political wrangling everywhere you look, I am finding myself even more often than usual daydreaming about my "happy place."

Here are a few pictures from our September trip. I can't tell you how often I close my eyes and wish I was back there right now. Maybe these pictures will help someone else detach from reality for just a minute.

Saving the best for last...

 

[DaveH]

Good morning, Dodie thanks for the pics. I will be at the world in 46 days. I hope to get to the lodge that day or the next. My first week is at SSR and then VWL.

 

[50 years Too!]

Thanks Dodie!
Eight more days, just eight more days and I'll be at that happy place.

63 days, 20 hours and about 39 minutes until VWL, but who's counting!?!?

Worked for me!

WELCOME BACK MUUSHKA! (sorry I'm late in the welcome!)

OMG - I've been watching the storm reports for our sailing - and stocked up on Bonine! 10 days til our trip - 11 days until we set sail! Yahoo!

We haven't been on the boards much because the same day we lost Abby, my Mom fell and fractured 2 vertabrae - got "kicked to the curb" by the rehab hospital on 9/21 - me, and DSis and DB pulled 24/7 care for her for 2 weeks until we could get her into an assisted care facility this past Saturday - and now we're dealing with the "hystrionics" (hers!) of her being there! It's been an exhausting 4 weeks, 5 days, and 9 hours - but who's counting! To say that we are sooo looking forward to our trip is an understatement.

Sorry to hear about the food on the DCL! That was something we were looking forward to trying! We've got one night at Palo booked - maybe we'll try for a second based on your feedback. We're only a four day cruise - and lord knows - hot dogs and pannini's (accompanied by beer and wine - with a chocolate martini for dessert) sound good to me! Your TR was great - thanks for taking the time to do it! To be perfectly honest, after looking at everyone's pics from their trips - we could skip the cruise and head right home to the Lodge for two weeks - and be absolutely content!

Not our WD!!

HD!! The cruise was the absolute best part of our vacation!
Nothing is better than being out in the middle of the deep blue sea! Well that and checking into VWL!

Really, please don't dread the food. I am actually sorry I wrote what I did, because it may influence people. I am a picky eater, but believe me, there was plenty of great food on that ship. And everyone at our table seemed very pleased with the food. We probably could have gotten Palo another night, but we didn't even try, so how bad could it have been??

I hope the seas are as calm for your cruise as they were for ours and I hope your mother mends quickly.
And who's counting?? Not our HD

 

[Laxmom]

We didn't even do Palo one night! One thing that might have effected my thoughts on the food was that we had an 8:30 seating. By then, I wasn't really hungry. We usually got a snack at about 3pm but I really think it was the ginger that affected my appetite. It didn't stop me from booking another one!!

Welcome back Muushka!!

9 Days, 16 hours and +/- 28 minutes until SSR - waitlisted for VWL though don't expect that to come through ... We're not counting either!

 

[DaveH]

I thought we were counting the things we love at the lodge!

Yes, we had second seating also. Boy, getting out of dinner at 10:30 is late!

Welcome back Muushka!!

Hi and thanks!

Eight more days, just eight more days and I'll be at that happy place.

Hey Deb - We're arriving on the 18th and leaving the 28th. We're playing tour guide for my husbands side of the family. If you see a group moving very s-l-o-w-l-y through the parks, stop and say His family leaves on Friday the 24th - dare I say we plan to celebrate with our evening meal at Artists Point?
