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

[loribell]

Wolfpack fan - When we were there for Christmas a couple of years ago I just went to Walmart in Orlando and bought a small one there. I know that our Walmart stores have a lot of different pre-lit little ones. Maybe you can find one there.

31 days until checkin for our VWL Christmas. We're looking around for a little Christmas tree to take with us. I'm thinking one that is maybe 2 ft. tall and already has lights.

Muushka - you haven't by any chance seen any like that in the Cary area have you?

Oops, sorry, I missed your ?. I have seen the little guys at Target, Lowes (as BWV said) and Walmart too, but this was last year. Have you been to the Super Target in Apex? I love that place! Best steak in the world.

Craiggers, WD and Dave, you are all so lucky!! It is so strange not going to WDW in December, I feel like I am in the Twilight Zone! Keep us in the loop with your vacation plans!

We are really excited. I have never been down before Christmas. We were there during the millenium deal, but it was sooooo crowded it was almost miserable. Because we are going down Dec 13-17, we are hoping for small crowds and a laid back time!!!

I found a couple of nice smaller pre-light trees at Target last year when I was looking for one for our newly finished basement...along with some fair priced little ornaments...and a tiny little tree skirt... There was even enough room in the box to pack up those ornaments to store with it...

I too am jealous of everyone who gets to go to the World for the holidays! Maybe one day...... I am so anxious to plan a trip that I had to make myself a new ticker to count down how long I have to wait until our 7 month window opens! That's pretty sad to feel that desperate 'eh?!

Morning All. Just trying to read all the posts and catch up with everyone while my library plays on shuffle and funny but Louis and Ella just came on with Baby, It's Cold Outside. How appropriate.

To everyone with a holiday trip upcoming. I'm jealous. Don't think we can squeeze ours in til 2010. So many trips.....so few points Enjoy the decorations and puleeeeze take pics for us especially Dave and your new toy with all its fancy gadgets

Glad to hear of the groupies and families on the mend and feeling better. We have a house of runny noses going on too.

I can't forget the four legged family members. Hope they are all getting well.

When you get published Eliza, I will be in line at Chapters to purchase. You definitely have a way with words.

DLI and loribell. Here's hoping that the ex-family members will smarten up and quit being so selfish.

To everyone else, have a great Wednesday.

You too, MM .

If anyone is looking for a way to kill time today, WOOT! is having a WOOT!-OFF!!!

Lots of fun, and some good stuff. The items will change when the current one sells out (which might be a little time on this one). And read the product descriptions, they are a hoot!

That is so funny - the Super Target in Apex is like my second home. I go there all the time. I wonder how many times we've passed each other in the store. I will look there. In fact, I was going over there this afternoon, so will check then.

You are absolutely evil Muush and truly my kindred spirit. I couldn't even get to the product descriptions, the FAQ's had me laughing like a loon. The old guy wants a Mercedes Benz with gps capability for christmas. I'm getting him a portable GPS and sticking it in his toyota. think he'll notice the difference? I'll even spring for those big red bows they have on the car commercials.

I think he might notice the difference! Did you get your GPS yet? I did a ton of research on these things.

We love WOOT!

Hey groupies! Your good wishes, prayers and moose dust worked!!!!!!! My niece told my sister yesterday that her dad is letting her go up to Pa. for Christmas!!!!! I guess he found his heart! My Mom was so upset earlier in the day yesterday and when I talked to her last night she was so happy. So thanks to all of you. I know you all helped!

 

[Disney loving Iowan]

Glad you Mom is doing better and will be going "home".
We stayed at BCV in June. I am at work now so I can't write too much but we had a view of the quiet pool. I will have to pm you a picture from our room and give you the #. It was a nice big studio room. They do have a little restaurant in the main building and they do have some things for breakfast but I'm not sure what. I can give you more info later. We love BCV though!

Hello Groupies

I've been away the last 6 days and need to read back but first just had to share!!! I just got back from a Training Seminar (Wonderful Experiance)
that just happened to be in Orlando..... and to help out with cost I offered to stay over an extra day with my sister in law who lives in Apopka and fly back on Tuesday saving the higher weekend air fair cost. are you getting the plan???
So Monday My DSI, DN and I spent the day At Magic Kingdom.
I was so excited.... I just never get tired of it. and the thought of sneaking in an unplanned visit is to good to be true.
Well the MK is all decorated already and just beautiful.. The crowds were light 10 min wait for space mountian at 11 am. But the BEST and totally MAGICALLY BEAUTIFUL was Cinderella's Holiday Wish..... the Castle Lighting
It was so beautiful with the white icicles and the castle itself changing colors.
the best early Christmas Gift.... couldn't ask for more.

Now.... really excited for our Family Thanksgiving trip leaving for SSR in 6 days
with the last night at VWL (thanks to all the pixie dust )

I'm going to grab a cup of tea and start reading back.
see you real soon

 

[Muushka]

Welcome back TP! Good job on saving the company that high airfare! I like your style.

HD, about BCV. We don't usually request views when we stay at DVC, so can't help out there. As far as CS, Market Place has CS. I never had breakfast there, only lunch, but it was good! When are you staying at BCV?

That is wonderful news.

 

[WolfpackFan]

Nah, not yesterday but I'll probably be going by this evening. I basically live off those peanut butter Atkins Bars and they have the cheapest price around. We'll probably go over and have dinner at the Fridays there (I really like their cheap menu), go by Target and then stop by the convenience store where our son works (the A&K at Olive Chapel and 55) to get some boxes he is holding for us. DD is moving to a new apartment in two weeks, so you know who is involved in getting boxes and packing her up.

 

[blossomz]

DLI!! GREAT NEWS!!

Happy Dinks..when we stayed our one time at BCV we ended up waaaaay down one of the Loooooong Corriders. We found the second bank of elevators on our last day! AT any rate..make sure you request to be near elevators. We had a quiet pool view. My relatives faced EPCOT, but you couldn't really see it that well.... Just some thoughts..

Woo Hoo!!!!! All those evil thoughts we sent his way must have scared him! I am so happy for your family!

Hi WolfpackFan,

I bought a 3ft. lighted tree at Target. It is set in a basket, so no need for a tree skirt. I thought it looked really full and "natural". I'm shipping it down, probably will cost more than the $24.99 I paid for it.
We bought some ornaments that we had personalized on our last trip in October. I left them in the Owner's locker. Excited to have a tree there!

Hi Groupies,

DH, DS and I have been busy making over a guest bedroom in VWL style. Thought I'd share some of the details with you all...

Here's the border we put up, with a mocha latte-type color paint on the walls.

Put the old familiar totem pole on the headboard.

Had to add a picture of our favorite junior groupie on his first trip to our beloved lodge...

Now we just have to add some artwork on the walls. Maybe we'll find something cool at the Mercantile when we head back "home" next month.

Jill

 

[Muushka]

Soooooooo nice! I love it! Where did you get the border from??
And that cute little boy in the picture!!

What a great job!
