Thanks for the tip Jill,
I'll make sure to listen.

Happy Monday All,
Here's a little giggle to start the work week.

The old guy got free Philly playoff tickets to his companies sky box last week, complete with an open bar. I'm the one on the floor. My apologise to my NH buddies.

Oh as a Phillies fan I am soooo jealous!!

MM nice to see you are being a good influence on the younger crowd. We need to bring them up right and make good groupies out of them!

 

[Muushka]

DLI, I thought about you and your Corgi last night. I watched The Queen (again, great movie). They are so cute!

We stayed in a rehabbed room in September (5th floor). No real changes other than the new style sofa bed. Same carpet - but new. Same bedspread - but new. A new upholstered chair. A fresh coat of paint. No new TVs or anything like that.

DLI, I thought about you and your Corgi last night. I watched The Queen (again, great movie). They are so cute!

I need a Corgi so badly. DH and I have decided that we will never have more than 2 dogs at a time again though. 3 are just too much for 2 people. My next dog will be a Pembroke though. Sometimes I can't help myself - I look at the Corgi rescues. There's one now that -so- needs me to adopt her. They think she's a Pembroke/Cardigan mix.

Oh great DODIE!!! My husband is so not going to love you. Now I am looking at Corgi rescues!

Bad combination: Corgi (which I love) + rescue (which I 100% endorse)=trouble!

No. You got the equation wrong.

Corgi + rescue =

Maybe YOU can adopt Caprice (the little Corgi girl in my link from above).

I am a little sad that "Mr. Muushka" won't like me though.

Just had to add that Cardigan Corgi's can be pretty cute too! And never any trouble!!! This is my angel when he was a baby.

Right now I'm wrangling with MS about my VWL points. There was some mix up with Dev. Pts. and they "put back" my VWL points as AKL. It was about 45 minutes on the phone yesterday and I got them back as VWL. But now they are in as banked '07....gotta try and get the points they used on my May '09 reservation to those instead of the '08 points they used. I hope this works out.

 

[Muushka]

I hope the points get straightened out K4, but in the mean time, that is one cute puppy!

I checked out your girl DODIE. Soooooo cute.

Thanks Muushka! That cute puppy is still pretty cute and had his 4th birthday on Friday. That meant Pupcakes for both the boys. It's two birthdays a year but they both know that the word birthday means a very special treat and start licking their lips. Scary how smart the Corgi's can be!


Dodie! That's a darling Corgi girl!!! We need another Corgi in the Groupies and I think she'd fit in perfectly!


I believe the points are all straightened out. MS was very helpful - it just took a bit of time to convince them that there was no way I could have more AKV points than I own! Once we figured out when it happened they straighted it out. In looking at my statement online it meant that they had to rebook my Dec OKW stay - so glad it didn't get lost!!!! Then today they were able to reallocate and use the misplaced banked points for my May VWL stay. I think that it's all good now. Whew!

 

[Muushka]

Yay! All straightened out. Glad that OKW was in tact!

I have never seen that movie but I should watch it just to see the corgis!

Aww she is adorable. Someday I would like to get another one. Just can't right now.

Yes they are smart! And cardigans are adorable too. We need to see a picture of your other one Kathy! The more corgis the better!

 

[Muushka]

Hi to the Groupies from Tucker!

Thanks for the heads up about the podcast. I listened to all of it about the Lodge. The reviewer seemed a bit downbeat about it until she mentioned Stan, then turned it around and gave it a 9 out of 10! Stan comes through!!

I listened to it too. Boy did it take a long time to actually get to the review! It was a little strange. I couldn't figure out if she liked it or not right up until the end when she gave it a 9. She kept mentioning how much she likes CBR. I don't disagree with her comments about Roaring Fork. It's too small for the size of the resort. I totally agreed with all the lovely things she had to say about Ranger Stan!

I thought it was a bit weird also. I'm biased, I tend to get excited when talking about WL. Initially she didn't like the layout (bathroom is immediately upon entering the room), didn't like to color scheme (too dark), didn't like the furnishings (bedspread sucked) and then she gave it a 9. Weird

Granny:

I have a change to our May reservation on "the list."

May 9 is VWL
May 10-14 we'll be on DCL
For May 14 and 15 we got a BWV Boardwalk view room! I'm pretty excited. Of course, I tried for AKL CL, but that wasn't available. Duh.

Thanks!

 

[Granny]

Dodie...I've made the changes.

Kat...way to stick to your guns and get your point situation straightened out!

It does make me wonder how many mistakes are made with points that members never catch because they don't "live their DVC" the way we do.

This almost happen to us on our first DVC trip. We found the DIS right before it. I was told to check after changes we made, and sure enough we would lost some points. This was in 2001. DVCReg helped us out allot. It seems MS is making more of these kind of mistakes now. I have learn to check what is done when changing ressies. Make sure you do when you get near or can no longer bank those points.

 

[KAT4DISNEY]

I learned a very good lesson with the point mix-up but at least I had an idea that it does happen thanks to the DIS boards. Initially I figured I was fine b/c the total points they were telling me was what I expected. But now I know with the two contracts I need to double check on the balances at each resort.....and also about how many of the remaining points are bankable and unbankable.

It also prompted me to locate the online detailed transaction information. That shows some very interesting things that MS does and is how I saw that they actually cancelled and rebooked my Dec. OKW ressie to fix the points. Having read a couple of reports of reservations being lost I was already nervous calling to correct the mistake. I'm glad I didn't know until after everything was fixed about what they actually had to do!
