The VWL Groupies & Trivia Thread

[Muushka]

Oh Granny. Guilt riddled Granny. Leave VWL in the dust Granny.

Just to make you feel better, we have a week booked at VWL in a 2 BR. Switching to a GV or 2 BR at OKW in a few weeks. Just decided to add a couple of days at BCV for my cousin who will be with us. He loved it when we went resort hopping and I figured we should stay at the place where he left the most drool. Sadly, he did not drool as much at VWL. What is wrong with that boy!

Yes, no place sings to my soul like VWL, but BCV is pretty sweet! I am anxiously waiting for your opinion on BCV when you return (my life is very boring )

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 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.

BCV doesn't have that "magical" feel of VWL and AKV, but it's right next to Epcot and across from the Boardwalk and I love the whole Crescent Lake area.

My wife's top three favorite resorts are:

1) AKV
2) VWL (sorry, Groupies, for not being #1)
3) BCV

What's really ironic Granny, is that I'm in the opposite dilemma. I'll be there early May with a couple of childhood buddies and I keep thinking maybe I should have booked at the BC. They are serious manhattanites (where talking about gals who just know realized jaywalking is not a constitutional ammendment) and in my mind I know BCV would have probably been a better fit but a 2 year absence from WL was asking a bit much.
So I'll pulled the old golden rule "she who owns the points..rules"

Truly, I'm a BWV snob at heart. We do love that whole area!

That being said, I am looking forward to the experience that the WL offers - sounds very different. Maybe I'll be adding "WL Groupie" to my description!

Hi all, I just checked out this thread. We bought VWL in 2001. We have since added on at SSR. We are staying again Nov 30 to Dec 6. We first stayed at the villas in 2001. I was lucky enough to stay at WL before VWL. It is very beautiful in Dec. We are looking forward to being there again.

Wow, I hope you didn't read all 2500+ posts!

If the spirit moves, grab a Moosie Siggie!

I couldn't have said it any better and I haven't even stayed here yet. Still trying to remain patient! Not so easy!!!!

Nope, just the last 20 pages. I was bored. LOL

I totally agree!!

And those city slickers just might enjoy a bit of peace and quiet on their vacation. If not....well, you can send them down to Whispering Canyon and tell them to politely request some ketchup. That ought to make them feel at home!

Oh Granny. Guilt riddled Granny. Leave VWL in the dust Granny.

Oh man, the guilt of it all!!

 

[jimmytammy]

Im not gonna rub on you too bad about BCV. We stayed there once. Did I like it? Well lets just say we gave it the ol college try and leave it at that. We have been to SSR and OKW too. Lets just say that a stay at OKW inspired us to buy more points(at VWL). Dont get me wrong, all of those places were great places to stay. Definitely DVC standards.

And now my DW is wanting to give BWV a try. So we will book VWL at 11 mos and hope to get BWV at 7 mos.

For me, staying at other resorts just makes me long for home that much more. Its not to say that the other resorts are 2nd rate or anything remote to that. But VWL truly feels like home away from home. Looking forward to trying BWV and all the while knowing I will be pining for, looking westward, and knowing home isnt far away.

Thanks, Muushka! I wouldn't feel right advertising myself as a groupie until I stay there in June. I want to keep everything on the up & up!

Well hot diggity dog!

We got us another Groupie!!!

Welcome Dave!

VWL wasn't available when we first joined DVC so after we bought our first batch of points we stayed at our new home...BCV. It was nice...Art was nice (but nothing like Stan). The pool was nice. But...we've been to VWL ever since!! We've also purchased at VWL and AKV! I guess once a groupie always a groupie. Just isn't the same magic...

 

[Muushka]

Yes, once a Groupie, always a Groupie!

Does anyone else get a kick out of seeing our Moose siggie on other boards when a Groupie posts? I do!

I am just bouncing off the walls with joy this morning Our son is home from Alaska this week (PROUD MOM of an U.S Coast Guard ) and happen to mention to my DH that he would like to go to Florida with a few of his buddies on his next leave and could he possible use our DVC.. ??

That is when the miracle happened... Straight from DH's mouth..

"Honey... I guess you should look into getting MORE POINTS "


YES !!!!

 

[lisaviolet]

"Honey... I guess you should look into getting MORE POINTS "


YES !!!!

How exciting!!!!!! Enjoy! And that's fantastic to have your son home.

Hey groupies,

I can't believe I haven't been on here to say, "Happy New Year" to all of you! Better late than never. I love this thread. I might not post that often. But I love reading the thread. You guys are the friendliest, greatest people. And I am really so thankful that I found you all last year.

And of course I love VWL. I took out the DVCs that we own, BWV/SSR, in my signature so that VWL groupies can shine on its own.

All the best to all of you,

Lisa

I called this am and got two nights of our Dec trip!

Now four more days to go

Some people think we're crazy calling 11 mos out, but we need a dedicated 2 bedroom and there aren't that many of them at VWL so I want to make sure we get one.
