The VWL Groupies & Trivia Thread

[bobbiwoz]

This show was at Pioneer Hall.

Think VWL mascot with little more than a head to his name.

Are we talking of one of the characters of Country Bear Jamboree? If so, then we saw the show, if not, then I'm making up memories, hey I'm old enough to get away with it!

Did anyone else ever take part in Marshmallow Marsh canoe trip in FW?

You are correct! Drum roll.....

The answser is....

Melvin the moose!

 

[bobbiwoz]

You are too kind...I'll bet someone would have remembered his name before I could!

Bobbi....that is very cool!! Of course, a GV at BWV with that view of Crescent Lake ain't too shabby either. But I think I would have made the same choice. VWL is a place that "speaks to the soul" (thanks, Eliza!) and is felt in the heart. So what better place to celebrate a 40 year affair of the heart for you!!

We've never had that view, but we will, someday! It's something to look forward to, I'm sure.

We've never had a Boardwalk View either...too cheap with our points and we always go for the Standard View!

But enough of this rogue BWV talk....remember, it all started with a Moose!

 

[bobbiwoz]

Yup, a groovy Moose!

we had a studio - it was lovely, but you are directly on the BW - so I felt that everyone was seeing us. I know silly - but hey the views were lovely. looking directly across at YC - then off to the side the fireworks at Epcot.


VWL is one of my favorite places. going to go visit next week - staying offsite. any day at WDW is better than here.

Mother had to go to the nursing home yesterday. One of the few things she does remember is WDW and the DVC resorts.

She though that we lived in Florida (in my dreams)

Oh, my mom is in a similar place sometimes, I'm sad to say.

[Granny]

Pat...thanks for dropping by, and we hope your trip is a great one!


We went through similar situation with my grandmother and I know it is very difficult for you. Just know that it is far harder on you than it is on her. Wishing you all the best for this Christmas season.

Enjoy the magic of WDW and of course, our beloved WL.

My mom and my dad are in a nursing home. Alzheimers and vascular dementia with Congestive Heart Failure. Don't know what I'd do without my Lodge trips and my points! I still say...THE best decision I ever made was joining DVC!!!

 

[Muushka]

You guys, I'm sorry for your parents and grandparents and their health issues.
It is so difficult when they get on in years.

 

[blossomz]

Thanks Muushka! I'm so glad for VWL groupies like you to take my mind off things!

 

[spiceycat]

thanks Bobbi, Granny, Muushka.

is VWL/WL as lovely as ever? can wait to see it again. that big christmas tree in the lobby, they also say they had several trees on each and every floor.

VWL is pretty nice too - not as grand as WL - but still up there in the top 5!!!

 

[ammo]

Three weeks ... Time to start thinking about all of the things that I should have taken care of already (AP vouchers, ADRs, etc.) ...

 

[lodgeloafer]

Excellent! I'm glad that you had a great vacation at WL! How were the Christmas decorations? We enter 'the lodge' in about 3 days from now.

wildernessdad, The decorations are great. We are now at the vwl, After 2 days of not being able to get online with the new vista program, life is good. We'll post pictures later today. Any requests?????

We had a blast at the xmas party last night. Any questions, ask away.

 

[Granny]

We'll post pictures later today. Any requests?????

Sounds like your trip is going very well!!

While pictures of the various decorations at WL/VWL are always wonderful, my request is for you to find Ranger Stan and take a picture with him. He is a great icon of the Lodge and apparently is close to retirement. I've only talked to him a few times, but I will certainly miss him when he is no longer there.

I hope he is training some young (50ish?) whippersnapper to follow in his very large footsteps!

Well wishes to everyone and their families. I had to move my mother into assisted living last year.

Looking forward to seeing pictures today lodgeloafer. I need a dose of our future home.

[MAGICinMYHEART]

I have managed to download a few photos,
this morning...Want to see? Most are of the new little additions to the trees and wreaths.

 

[ammo]

Great pictures Magic! The Christmas mooses (how do you pluralize moose?) are sure to be big hits around here.

 

[mickeymorse]

Loved the Pics Magic.
