The VWL Groupies & Trivia Thread

Ohhhhhhhh there really "IS" a tag Fairy.... that was almost as exciting as seeing Tinker Bells flight at MK OMG... I just got goose bumps !!!

Granny, Can you walk to the pool from the patio's ?

I know I'm not Granny, but yes you can. All the first floor villas that are facing the woods. We never used the hallway to get to the pool.

Has anyone ever added the Tag Fairy to their Buddy list

Granny, Can you walk to the pool from the patio's ?

As bpmorley said, yes you can walk out to the pool from there. But you'd have to walk through some mulch as you can see. Probably better to take the short hallway to the exit...only a few feet and that way you'd have sidewalk the whole way.

Also, keep in mind that there are very few rooms "on ground floor, near the quiet pool". That's a pretty specific request, so there's a good chance that it won't be available on any given trip. Just don't want to set anyone's expectations up too much!

Thanks all for the info.. I'll be happy in the laundry room if it means staying at VWL

 

[MiaSRN62]

Do you know if there are ground floor rooms with decks that are off the quiet pool ??

Keliblue,

Here is a pic I snapped, standing in front of a ground floor patio and looking out to the pool :

My particular ground floor faced the covered walkway from the Lodge to the Villas. There was alot of heavy vegetation around our patio so we opted for going through the Villas lobby.

Thank you very much TF for your generous gift. As we walk down the covered walkway in April and notice some flickering lights, listen for us to say our "thank you" in person.

Maria - Beautiful picture! Thanks for sharing!

Can I join? I owned 50 pts only because DH made me get them and I knew I would hate the *stupid* woodsy theme and never understood how anyone would actually like this resort and how I could get out of our 1/18 trip.

Hmmm now I am trying to figure out how to consolidate to just SSR and VWL...no more VAK point waiting...I added on to VWL. Now I have to sell my BCV points and I will be set!

How can you not fall in love as you pull into the docks and see that gorgeous resort or wake up to the sun over the trees...

The best part is DH has not gloated

Hi Jodie . I am sorry I spelled your name wrong in another post.

I can understand why some would not like the resort, but I am glad that you 'saw the light'. Welcome to the VWL groupies!

Well, he's a better man than me then!

Welcome to the club!!

 

[Slakk]

Well the points are already showing up on the website (boy Gib is fast!) so it is official! I am so happy to join the group!

 

[Muushka]

WooooHooooo!!!

 

[diznyfanatic]

Congrats and welcome to the club Jodie! You'll know you have been completely assimilated when you want to start adding decor to your house that reminds you of being at VWL (don't laugh...at least two of us in this thread have done it and there are some great ideas in this thread!!!!)

LOL! I just told my DH a few weeks ago that the next home improvement that I want to do is to redecorate our bathroom in a Lodge Theme!

What's a tag fairy?

Great picture Marie Don't you just get all warm and cozy when you see this !!

What's a tag fairy?

A Tag Fairy is a very elusive beasty that will put a tag (which is the area under the screen name, but if a TF put it there, it will have a color) on the member's profile.

Many will complain on other boards that they do not have one. Usually they have only been on the boards for a few months, and get one! I, on the other hand, have never gotten one (well, not counting this VWL Groupies, which technically is not a tag) and have been on the boards for close to 10 years. Therefore, my self-given tag used to be "Pixie Dustless". But I changed it to "Semi-Pixie Dustless" beacuse of the VWL Groupie logo.

Hope that answers the question!

Also regarding the "tag fairy." It wasn't too long ago when someone on this board asked about the tag fairy and I think it was spiceycat who replied that the tag fairy doesn't go on DVC boards. spiceycat even got a tag for that response. When I reflect that the person of the tag fairy is really a VWL groupie, I'm amazed at the self restraint that had been shown over the years because it really did seem that DVC people weren't getting tags here...I know mine came from the Community Board.

I'm so happy with the VWL moose! My own affinity with a moose began when DS went to NH for school, and in Ohio, I proudly put an "I break for Moose" bumper sticker on my car. One of my favorite presents is a wooden cutting board from Alaska in the shape of a moose.

What an AWESOME job !! I wish I was born a Tag Fairy

Alaska in the shape of a moose.

I suppose it looks like a moose, but that wouldn't have been my first thought.
