The VWL Groupies & Trivia Thread

[jimmytammy]

A big WELCOME to all the new groupies over the past few weeks.

 

[Camster0307]

mwehttam ask a good question that I would like some help with too! I've got a studion reserved - what's a good location I could request? I don't care about distance to elevators (could use all the exercise I can get) but would love a great view! Any suggestions?

mwehttam - another HUGE Giants fan here (stuck living in Patriots' land! )- so happy they've made it this far!

morning all groupies

We have to start calling next week for Christmas week at VWL! I am so nervous about it. We need a dedicated 2 bedroom and my dh is going to have to call for the first time ever!

I have to write a step by step instruction list / script for him

Does anyone know if MS will be open tomorrow?

Hello everyone! We'll be staying at VWL for the 1st time in 2 weeks time. I'm really looking forward to it now as the Resort looks so beautiful.

I asked MS both on Friday and Saturday (to double check) and they ARE closed MLK. So Tuesday will be a very busy day for them!

We had a dedicated 2 bedroom villa on the 3rd floor in August, I want to say 3221 was the room number. The view was very nice, all woods. very peaceful with lots of birds. I'm there 5/1, first time in a studio so I'll keep you posted. I generally don't make view request, I'm usually so slap happy to be back.

Take a look at the VWL floor plan. See the link below.

I actually think that there is a mistake on this pdf file as room 3512 is a 1-bedroom, part of a 2-bedroom lock-off.

Most views are woods views. You might want to try for a pool view, but watch out for the dreaded dumpster-view room!

Welcome to the groupies! And we hope you have a wonderful time and create some lasting memories. Be sure to let us know how your trip went and especially what you think of our beloved Lodge. Sending Moose Dust that your trip will be all you hope for!

Once we get there, we are pretty satisfied with whatever we get. I have liked every room and view so far. Probably best to ask for a lake or pool view maybe 4th floor. Up high tends to give a better view of the lake. Sun doesnt come up on that side of villas either so if you want to sleep in, it might help a bit

Yes! Ditto what JT said .

And if, in the meantime, you would like to grab a Moose Siggie in anticipation of the wonderful vacation you are going to have at our beloved Wilderness Lodge, please, feel free! He just loves it when people wear him.

 

[Muushka]

Thanks Muushka! And yes, he does look good in my siggy!

-Matthew

He doesn't look good in your siggy, he looks

GREAT!!​

Welcome to all of the latest groupies to join us! Why isn't there a moose smilie?!!

 

[eliza61]

Hope every one has some moose dust this week...

1. Your coworkers suggest grabbing a bite to eat and you ask "where do we have an ADR"?
   
2. You can use the words "-10 degrees" and "high" temperature in the same sentence.
   
3. While out to eat this weekend, you ask the waitress for a bottle of ketchup and then get upset because she comes back with 1 bottle of ketchup..
   
4. While watching a show on food network about "cuisines around the world", they get to Paris and you realize they actually mean "Paris" as in France, as in the country
   
5. You enthusatically join in a conversation, gussing about viewing the fireworks celebration at MK only to realize every one else was talking about the MLK celebrations.
   
6. You stop by dunkin donuts for morning coffee and you ask where the refillable mugs are..
   
   number one reason you know you need a wlv vacation
7. While helping your son fill out financial aid forms, you realize you've filled it in with the dogs name each and every time.

Hello to all the new groupies, welcome aboard

Eliza, you have officially lost it!

For the record, I agree with most of those!

Its a disease for sure...but a good one

My worst thing is walking around and noticing smells that catch my attention.

For ex., at work while I am cutting pressure treated wood, or maybe lodgepole pine, the Lodge gets stuck in my head cause of the smell. That can be a good thing, as long as my mind doesnt wander too far and I cut my fingers off.

While at the grocery store, Tammy will have me get air freshner. I will try to get one that smells like our Lodge and if I cant get that, I will get one that smells like the apple pie at Philarmagic.

Gain detergent has a smell just like what VWL uses on their sheets and towels. Of course thats the one we go for.

Its got to be a magical place to have that much influence on our daily lives.

Sniff sniff, I feel the same way.



JT, wow, that was sweet.

Wow, the email notifications are back!

 

[blossomz]

We may all have the disease...but at least we're in good company!

Its got to be a magical place to have that much influence on our daily lives.

I'm already re-thinking our decision to try BCV for this year's trip...but I think I'll stick with it and give BCV a shot.

I know that BCV has great location and a great pool...but those aren't elements I'd consider "magical". Not sure that BCV will have the ability to mentally transport me to someplace else like WL/VWL does.

I'll go there with an open mind, and already know we'll have a great trip. But in my visits there I can't say that it will "sing to my soul", as Eliza so eloquently puts it.

I suspect that AKV will also be a "magical" DVC resort with that ability to mentally transport to a different place. I look forward to staying there, maybe in 2009.
