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

Muushka,

We ordered the border over the phone from Cabela's, the big hunting and sporting goods chain. They had quite a few good choices. Lots of lodge-like goodies there.

 

[Muushka]

So very cute. Hmmmm, I have a guest room calling me.......

DLI Great news.

HD we don't ask about views either. We had view on the side near International Gateway and saw mostly trees. We didn't look for something like Roaring Forks, we know the refill is in the store. We loved the walk to EPCOT. We don't do pools so no help there. The longest hall in a resort is shorter than the walk from the Springs to Carriage House at SSR.

Good night all.

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!

Hurray!!! I'm thrilled for you & your family. I hope you have a wonderful trip.

Cheer4bison - love the border & decorations!

Well I was almost free. DS lasted half the day at school yesterday before I had to pick him up. He was up half the night coughing & congested so he's home again today. He fell asleep on the couch sometime during the night & I couldn't wake him at school time. I thought I might be able to bring him in as a tardy, but he's still asleep so I don't see that happening.

On a positive note my niece is coming with us on our Jan. trip to help me with the kiddos! Woo hoo! I'm sure I would have been fine on our own, but another set of eyes & hands is always helpful. My niece is fabulous with kids. She's going to school to be a preschool teacher & I think she's going to be a great one. She hasn't been to the World since she was in 2nd grade (she's 21 now) so it will be mostly all new to her. It will be fun experiencing it with someone that hasn't been there, done that.

Off to do some house cleaning.

Have a great day all.

 

[Muushka]

Oh HL, sorry the boy is still sick. But that is great news about your niece coming!

Hey WOOTERS! The WOOT!-OFF!! is still going on!

Is anyone else having trouble seeing this page? When I pull it up I just get a blank page.

Update - I got it to work. I had to use Safari for some reason. I couldn't get it to work in IE or Firefox. I think I have a problem with Flash not being installed correctly or something.

Anyway, neat site. It is really putting me in the mood. We will be leaving 1 month from tomorrow. I can't wait. We really need this trip. The last 6 months has not been a very good 6 months for us.

 

[Muushka]

I can't pull it up either. What dummy posted this??? Oh, me!

OK, try this http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/wdw/index

then click on "Celebrate the Holidays all 4 parks" towards the bottom on the right.

Aaaah!!
I want to go to disney world for Christmas. I wonder if I left some food in a dish for Sid and Rizzo would they notice I was gone.

Thanks Muushka, you're right it was worth it.

I was in Target today....they also have some cool lodge-themed things for the bathroom (they had a whole set: shower curtain/waste basket/soap dish etc). Here's some links :

There's about 9-10 pages of lodge stuff....some is more closely WL themed than others. Just couldn't list them all. Go to target.com and search "lodge". Some things I saw in the store that I did not see online and visa versa.

Maria!!,
The object is to try and let me pretend like I'm going to get out of debt. (at least for a little while)

Did you get snow this morning? Anybody have a nice sunny disneyworld picture they want to share?

So True!!!

Everything here has a light dusting of snow. The roads look slick but I haven't been on them yet. They didn't cancel the school buses so that's a good sign.

Heh-heh eliza...... And yes ! Got about an inch (and about 1/2 inch yesterday). But the sun came out and it's gone now.

Guess what.....I get this coupon flyer in the mail today. So I'm skimming through it and discover there is this totally lodge-themed restaurant in Phila----near the Franklin Mills mall (ever been eliza or anyone else ?). It's called Bugaboo Creek Steak House. Anyway......one of their signature drinks is called Pineapple Splash Moose Juice and the restaurant mascot is a moose !

http://www.bugaboocreek.com/ (the moose calls out if your sound is on).
http://www.bugaboocreek.com/story.htm (the legend of this themed restaurant). I could see WL/VWL with a restaurant like this.

 

[Muushka]

We even got a tiny bit of snow this morning. I miss S FL.

Maria, we won't get to Bugaboo (love that name!) but I see a visit to Target!

Wow...u got snow too Muushka !!!

I did notice Bugaboo Creek is only in the northeast/midatlantic area except for 5 restaurants in GA.

Let me know if you find anything at your Target. Happy shopping !

 

[wildernessDad]

Hey, Granny! Please add my vacation to VWL, a 1-br villa, with the following dates.

Arrive: October 21, 2009
Depart: October 26, 2009

Thank you!

 

[horselover]

We have Bugaboo Creek here. I've never been a huge fan. The theming is fun, but the food is just ok.

Ok, groupies I'm seriously considering getting an owners locker. If for no other reason than to save me from having to lug the twin aerobed, sheets, & blanket I plan to purchase for next year's trips. Anyone else have one? I'm thinking I'll stock it while I'm down there in Jan. with all the necessities (shampoo, flat iron, laundry detergent, brita water pitcher, etc.) Is there a Walmart near the lodge? If yes, can anyone share directions? We will not be doing commando touring this trip so I'll have time to make a shopping trip over there.

Granny - I'm not sure I ever asked you to add my Jan. trip to the list. It's Jan. 17-21. Thanks!

It's cold here today too. Only in the upper 20's. Brrrrr!

 

[BWV Dreamin]

Add me to your list Granny! Will be at VWL in a studio from Sun, May 31- leaving Wed, June 3, 2009. Can't wait groupiessssss!!!!
