The VWL Groupies & Trivia Thread

[Granny]

I have suggestion for you. Stay away from the 1 BR's. Just the 2 of us started out with 150 points thinking it would always be a studio and every few years a 1 BR. Now it is we always stay in a 1 BR and every few years stay in a studio!

This is outstanding advice!

We stay in a 2BR for the four of us (incl. 2 teenage girls) after starting out with a 1BR. We find that we really like to keep the living room/kitchen open so sleepers can go undisturbed by others.

We brought in at BCV initially and would love, love, love to pick up son WL points. Unfortunately we have Rizzo's & Sid the squids college tuition (or bail money) to cough up. After getting a glance at college tuitions Dh & I may be reduced to twigs and grass for meals. Hey, it works for mooses right? I've never seen a skinny moose

Eliza you are a hoot! As a mother of an almost 19 year old male, I feel your pain!
Mine is up at Whistler today snowboarding (do you think that is why he wanted to go to an out of state public school on the Canadian border). I figure I need money to either have him continue his snowboarding major, pay mountain rescue to life flight him off the mountain (had that happen at Mt. Hood a few years ago), or do that bail thing! And you poor thing, two boys.
At least we have our DVC to escape!

My plan is to start another thread in early February wherein VWL groupies and others who are staying at VWL this December will be able to list their dates of stay. I also plan on at thread announcing one or two days per week where VWL groupies gather in the Territory Lounge. What do you think?

Sounds good to me! I will be on the lookout for that post. We will be at VWL in March so I can do some stakeout work if needed

OK, who has gotten there Dec. VWL ressies? We got ours yesterday for the 1st til the 12th in a 1 bed. Ready for the Groupie meet!

Just finished booking our trip today Dec 5-13 (7-13 at the lodge) today. I would love a Groupie meet !!

We just changed our trip yesterday to December. Managed to get a few days at our lovely VWL, have to ring back next week for the remainder.

I am so excited, we get to spend our first DVC christmas vacation at the VWL

Me too, this will be my first Christmas at the lodge

Count us in , Is it just me or is anyone else not getting notified via email of new posts ??

I'm still in the process of booking mine. We arrive on 12/6/08 and will be staying until 12/16/08.

Yaaaah !!! does this mean we get to meet the infamous DVC Mike

It is spotty for me. Sometimes I receive them, sometimes no.

I just started a reservation for Dec. 13th to 26th. This will be our 5th Xmas at VWL. Coincidentally, three of the four we have under our belt have been dumpster view - last room at the end of the hall. I asked for a pool view this time. We might call back at 7 months and change a few days at the beginning to AKV if there is something available.

DVC Mike is a shy guy... But my wife and I will try to attend at least one VWL Groupie event if someone sets one up!

I was thinking about every Monday and Wednesday evening at Territory Lounge at 8 pm local time during the month of December. I avoided Christmas that way, but wonder when the MVMCP is going to be held.

Hi there Groupies!

I just booked the last night of our December '08 trip! Yippee!!

We'll be there Dec. 10th-14th with DH, DS, my parents and my sister's entire family. This will be the first time all 10 of us will be at Disney together. I'm so excited and just had to share with people who would understand my giddiness.

Can't believe it has been 20 years since I have been at Disney during the holidays! Far too long, for sure.

Definitely hope to run into some Groupies while there!

Jill

Can't make December but it looks like I'm first up to bat this year. Just made my ressies for a quick girls weekend 5/1-5/4. Oooh maybe we can do a "geriatric moose girls gone wild video"

 

[blossomz]

I wish I could join the "geri girls" but we'll be there April 24-28th. Then we go back for a family bash in June. Any geriatrics coming on the 24th?

 

[Muushka]

This Geri will be at (probably) OKW grand villa in Sept. We booked VWL to be sure to have a place to stay, but we will switch. Family reunion!

Excellent! Then Mondays and Wednesdays work well.

BTW, I made it so you just go if you want to. You don't have to sign up on the thread.

I was just thinking that the VWL groupies need to have something to signify who we are. Just like the lime green mickey heads the disboards groupies carry on their person. We need a lime green moosehead that we can print out and attach to our stuff while in WDW. Is this a little over the top? Who wants to design it?

Anyone creative?
