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

[Dodie]

Granny, where is the list?

I'm not Granny, but the list is in post #2 on this thread!

Good evening WL groupies:

I have never posted much on the DIS but I would love to join this thread. We are DVC owners, but not at VWL. DH and I have stayed at the lodge twice and will get to be in a villa for the first time in March. We are long time Ft. Wilderness cabin guests and have loved the lodge since the first time we saw it. It will be our boys first trip to stay at WL!

I loved your thread from the first page and spent my free time Thanksgiving week reading through all 203 pages of it. I'd be ashamed to admit that to anyone other than WL groupies. Somehow I think you will understand. I couldn't get enough WL info and have saved many of your comments to my trip document for things to look for and experience. I agree that this thread is full of warmth! I tend to be a lurker, but our beloved lodge brought me out of hiding.

I can't wait to be there! Only 97 days, but who's counting?

Just call me Dory. I'm not a swimmer--just have a short term memory like her.

Yay! Another groupie! Welcome Dory to the best thread on the boards!

JT thanks for the report from home!!!! Have a great time!

My name is perfect for a chocoholic!!! Lucky Chocolate Baubles!

That was sooooo cute! Those baaaaad kitties! My guess: they are indoor kitties. My cats are indoor-outdoor and just sit under the tree. Bless their furry hearts. 40 years of cats and never had any do what they did! Thank you for the link.

Hey Groupies, writing Live from Manhattan
Talked DH into leaving his laptop with me and just finished reading back.
sounds like most of you had a Happy Thanksgiving and to all of you
groupies under the weather feel better soon

Hey all!
We skipped MVMCP last night. It was just too messy to deal with. Would have loved to gone with our friends, but they understood. We did it one time in those conditions, and all of us got sick.
It feels so good to be Home. Now I feel like the trip has officially begun

MVMCP WE were there!!!! SOAKED but that seems to be a tradition with us
DH said I can't believe that we are sitting here again in the pouring and I mean pouring rain for Mickey's Twas the Night before Christmas show my favorite! Later we went from soaked to damp with some hot cocoa and great seats, yes a seat for the Hoilday Wishes Fireworks over at the Tomorrow Land Noodle Resturant then still hung in there for the 10:30 Mickey's Once upon a Christmas Parade...... front and center on Main Street Wet or Dry it's Still Magic

Dory! You read through 203 pages????!!!! Now that deserves a hand!
Granny, where are those clapping people!!
As horselover said, pull up a log and meet with us by the lake. Good to have you aboard. Visit often!

PS If you want Granny to post your dates, just yell them out. I love looking at that list and seeing who is heading home. My favorite part of the list is when it says Muushka VWL

WPF, we ate at WCC last year, and if I remember correctly, there was only the Christmas dinner on the menu.

And more bad news, I don't remember any round cake pans.

Muushka I just love the way you Welcome the new groupies.

And I love this thread and all you Groupies

Hi everyone!

DH, DD3 and I will be staying at VWL in Feb and we are super excited. We've stayed at WL a few times before (DH & I stayed there for the first time during our honeymoon!) and at VWL's studio 2 years ago. We love it there, although we're supposed to call SSR our home...our hearts are in VWL.

We haven't been back to VWL in a long time and I just read that they under went some refurbishments. We'll be staying in a 1 bedroom this time around...do you have any photos or tips to share? THANKS!

We can't wait to go back!

 

[loribell]

It shows my name is Happy Scrooge-Noodles! I am not scroogy. Really I am not.

 

[Muushka]

Cat Tip... a cat covered in tree sap is not a Happy Cat

Where is the Tag Fairy when you need her?????
Good tip

TP, Are you in the Manhattan on the back lots of MGM or the one in NY? Or do I need more coffee??

Can't wait for the TR!

Welcome QJ411

Well, your heart belongs to VWL, eh? You sound like a perfect VWL Groupie candidate!!
All we require is a love of the Lodge (DVC membership is not a requirement)

So, grab a log or a rocking chair or a sofa or something to sit on, and join us. Visit often.
Trip reports are appreciated and photos will get you extra Moosie points!

And if you are so inclined, grab yourself one of those Moosie Siggies that you see all over this thread.
I'll bet he would look very handsome on you!

PS I know you asked us for pictures. Stick around, lots will show up. Did you have any specific questions?
Granny would be happy to answer them! He is so much better at that than I am.
Just kidding, ask away.....

 

[BWV Dreamin]

I am so glad to be a "groupie" even though I haven't even been there yet!! I am counting the days to my May 31 check-in date! I too will be watching for those pics and reading trip reports! Somehow, I don't feel worthy to be a groupie yet!

Really? You haven't stayed there yet?? Now THAT is faith! And Groupie Extrodinaire material!

A Big Welcome



Muushka I just love the way you Welcome the new groupies.

And I love this thread and all you Groupies

And we love you too! We had the same weather 2 years ago when we went to MVMCP. The skies just opened and it rained buckets. We went on COP and when we came out there was a lake in front of it. The water was up to our ankles. We ended up leaving because there wasn't really anything we could do. It was raining to hard too even see anything.

Umm. I think it is defective. What did you guys do to it? Mine came back-lucky horny elf. NO LIE!! What the heck! I like Cutey-floppy baubles better!!! I sure hope the Tag Fairy is not looking!!!

Welcome to all the new lodge addicts! You have landed in the friendliest thread on the Dis!!

Trip report coming soon! Doing the single digit dance and the last minute packing panic!!

[KeepSwimmingDory]

DLIowan - Thanks! I agree it is the best thread.

horselover - Love the titles from the name generator.

tea pot - thanks for sharing the magic and glad you made the best of it in the rain. Yay for hot cocoa I'm sure it will be a holiday you won't forget. One of my teen boys favorite times at Disney was in the rain. They were riding Big Thunder Mountain when it just started raining and the fireworks started over the castle. These big ol boys were so cute with how magical that experience was.

QJ411 - Welcome-- have a chair and stay a while. I think I'll have a chair too as this log is not so comfortable. We own at SSR but haven't stayed their yet. This is a very friendly thread and I hope you'll enjoy it. I'm brand new and I've been made to feel very welcome.

Muushka - I was a little confused about the Manhattan thing too but I bet you are right about MGM. And yes I love your welcoming spirit!

BWV Dreamin - You will LOVE it!

blossomz & loribell - I think that machine is broken if groupies are being called Scrooge. Didn't I hear you blossomz on the podcast talking about the lodge? You ladies are anything but Scrooge. Oh and thanks for the welcome.

laxmom - I don't even know what to say. Dory speechless?

Hope y'all all have a great evening. I'm just going to sit here in the lobby and rock by the fireplace and sip my decaf coffee....oh shoot I'm not there. Maybe I'm dreaming and I'll wake up and be "home".

 

[Muushka]

Dory, you fit like an old comfortable shoe! And that is a great compliment because I love my old shoes!

And the Moosie! He looks fab .

PS We are having Pixar night and Finding Nemo is movie we chose.
You just posted so I showed my husband our newest Groupie. He chuckled.

Aww that's so sweet of you to say.

"I suffer from short term memory loss..It runs in my family..At least I think it does...Where are they?"

Enjoy the movie! Wish I was having a Pixar night....We're having a history project due tomorrow after getting home late from playing a basketball game when somebody forgot to save his essay before the application quit night! Find a happy place...find a happy place...I'm so ready for Christmas vacation.
