The VWL Groupies & Trivia Thread

[hrsmom]

Thank you for the welcome!

I'd be just as happy to fade into the woodwork if that helped out.

Say whaaat, WildernessDad ??? (I just saw this comment made by you). You aren't going anywhere.....everyone has valuable information and experiences to share here ! Some more than others....but still we need everyone. So grab your favorite beverage and get to typing straight away !

So, I know there is a thread to keep track of all the Moose Groupies who will be at the Lodge/WDW in December....but can we do a count for September? Now that we are official and all, would be great to meet some other groupies!!

 

[wildernessDad]

I called for our Jan reservations a few minutes ago. She told me that all the studios and 1 BR were booked for the time we wanted. I remained calm, and said 'OK, well, um, can we be put on a waiting list'? And as she stared doing that she said "uh oh". I said "what"? She said, with a giggle, "I was looking at Jan 08" . So we laughed, I got her badge number (just kidding) and we set our reservations for Jan 09 .. Then at 7 months we will try to get a studio at BCV for the first 2 nights.

I'm glad that you got the reservation, Muushka! I would stay that I am surprised that the computer allowed MS to check January 08, but I'm not.

We are booked for VWL in Sept, but believe it or not, we are going to switch at 7 months . It is a larger quarters for more people/cousin wanted BCV type of thing.

Buuuuuuuut, if anyone gets a meet up while we are there, we would gladly slide over to VWL for that!
We will be at WDW from Sat 9/20 till Sat 9/27 (when we board the Magic! ) My husband would love to meet your husband (special effects-meister, right?)

PS So glad that you are now official!

Thank you for the welcome!

That Moose looks great!

Yeah Muushka !
What a scary moment that must have been when they told you nothing was left ! I know January can get busy around the marathon......but to fill up this fast would have been nuts. Glad she realized her mistake.
So did u book a studio or 1 bedroom ?

Yes. To both. We will switch to a studio at BCV at 7 months out and then back to VWL in a 1BR. I pray the Christmas tree will still be up when we get there!

Is this an Eastern cruise Muushka ? This is the same week we were on the Magic this past Sept. Have a great time.
As for the tree at the WL ? Do they keep it up for 1 week after New Years ? Or is it 2 weeks ? I can't remember.

Bah! We will be there from 8/30 to 9/12, so we will be long gone by the time you get there.

And thanks! Finally booked one leg of our US flights..just have to book the return flight and do ADRs and we will be all set for our trip! YAY!

 

[Muushka]

Maybe September '09? Have a great trip.

Coincidentally, I called MS this past Friday to see about availability for Sept 1 - Sept 5 at BCV. This being at the 7-month point as you know. Well, they had a BCV studio! So I booked the four nights for DW, DS and myself, but guess what. DW doesn't want to go since we're going in May for 7 nights (without DS) and in December for 8 nights. AirTran even had their web specials for the trip. Looks like I am going to have to cancel that reservation. DW doesn't want to go more than twice per year. My son would go 24/7 if I said let's do it.

Haven't been to BCV yet. I even asked my eldest DD if she wanted the reservation for her and DGD, but she said no.

It's weird. Some families don't have enough points because of all who want to go and yet my family seems to have too many points because of all who do not want to go. That makes it hard to justify adding on as well. Bummer.

Sign me up WD ! I'll go with ya ! I'm in the category of not having enough points to go as often as I'd wish. My dh would tell ya, I would never say twice a year is enough...We often end up paying cash for disney rooms when we're out of points.
..........need....more.....points........

It sounds like a great chance for ds to make up for the trip he doesn't get to go on. Just imagine how much fun the two of you could have if you were there alone!

 

[blossomz]

Sure..you know what Lou Mongello always says....cough..research trip! Sounds like a good idea..!!

I was thinking the same thing, especially since DW and I are going when he has his b-day. :/

But guess what, my wedding anniversary is in September, during this would-be trip.

Cough....yeah, that wouldn't look very good on your marital resume. Sorry about that

This is the difference between male and female. Good luck, and I'm rooting for the boys.

 

[dsquarednz]

Our anniversary is during our trip too! Sept. 3rd.

 

[wildernessDad]

Thanks to all for the well wishes (and the advice). I'll probably cancel it. Might reschedule it for September of 2009. I will do something special for my son when I get home in May.

We'll be married 32 years this upcoming September 4, btw.

 

[Muushka]

Wow. You've been married exactly twice as long as me and the Mr Muushka. Good luck!

We will probably be there in May '09!

 

[dsquarednz]

That is incredible! 32 years!! Congrats.

It will be our *gasp* two year anniversary.
