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

TOOOO clever for words!! I'm going to work now. I'll be thinking about DIS and smiling all during my commute!

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!!!!)

Make that 3. Our bedroom is done up kinda like the WL. We are in the midst of redecorating our living room - rustic with a WL feel.

When we had our pool designed about a year and a half ago - I brought out pictures of the WL and showed the pool designer and landscaper.

Once the WL and VWL get into your system it is forever there and a part of your very core.

Put us in as 4. LOL, we are currently getting ready to re-do our DD bathroom and leaning on the VWL theme. You are right Jen, once it hits you, you never look back

Now, this would be more than just an ordinary co incidence, but what the heck!...We hosted 2 Coast Guard recruits for Christmas dinner at our Cape May home. They were graduating Christmas week, and one was set to go to Alaska, and the other to Galveston....By any chance is yours a newly stationed recruit, recently out of basic training in Cape May???

Bobbi

PS. One of the recruits was from San Diego, and I see that you're from California. - Sorry, I missed "northern."

Sat down with the family last night to plan our annual visit to the mouse world. Was all set to make my ressies for a great vacation at the VWL, when my youngest ds (he used to be my favorite) said, "mom, lets stay at the beach club" he wants to go back to stromalong bay and we'll be celebrating his birthday at the world this year.
Yes fellow groupies, that sound you heard last night up and down the eastern seaboard, was me in my backyard bawling like a baby.
Where did I go wrong, he was suppose to be the good kid. Anybody got the theme song to Davvy crockett or daniel boone, maybe if I load it onto his ipod and play it at night while he sleeps he'll subliminally get the message.

OK folks, have any of you checked out this thread? This is one of the best reference guides around for WL and no VWL Groupie should be without it!

The NEW WL FAQ (Part 5) Simbas and Tiggers and Humphreys OH MY!

Ohhhhhhh the HORROR !!! Is it to late to trade him in on a new model

 

[spiceycat]

I am staying next month - only one day - but hey every time counts!!!

one of my favorite places!!!

now don't get upset - by my place is decorated more like OKW - I brought my condo and OKW both in 1993. years before VWL. so am I forgiven or must I quit the groupies...

VWL is probably one of the most romantic places at WDW.

gonna get a new mug! I love those WL/VWL mugs!!!

We had a Jason and a Joseph as our guests this Christmas, but that was the Coast Guard class!!! We have hosted recruits for either Thanksgiving or Christmas, whichever one we spend in Cape May, ever since we bought the house...1998, and it is such a pleasure to meet the fine members of the Coast Guard. We all consider it an honor to have met them.

Well, if we are ever at VWL at the same time it would be a pleasure to give you a BIG FAT HUG

I want the moose thing!!!
Okay, can I just use the wdwinfo address for the moose emblem, or do I need to put it somewhere unique to me?

In case you haven't guessed, I'm not overly computer literate!

I completed the first leg of our reservation. I will have to call MS Sat (it is open, right?) to book the second half. I must say that I just have such a secure feeling knowing that we can book this place at 11 months out for the Christmas season. Of course that was our master plan......
