The VWL Groupies & Trivia Thread

[50 years Too!]

As many of my fellow groupies know, my 2 sons, Sid the Squid (13) and Rizzo the Rat (17) have launched a campaign this year to make me appreciate each and every disney vacation I have planned. The Democratic national committee have inquired about their services.

Dh is building a storage shed in the back yard and in preparing the site, ran across some type of burrow (we thought either squirrels or rabbits). I in my misguided attempt to actually pass along some "miracle of nature" lesson to said offspring, showed Sid & Rizzo the burrow with all the appropriate "do not disturb" warnings. Sid in his eternal "can I make a buck out of this" thinking, promptly held a "name the easter bunny" contest for all his fellow deliquents. For a mere dollar, one got to gaze at the burrow and name one of the naked little creatures.
He collected $17.00 bucks after church today. Only 39 more days until I'm home again, only 1,925 more days until this kid is in college.

Blessed Easter to all.

He's going to make a billion dollars someday. Then you will appreciate him.
Too funny! Keep us informed of his newest quick buck ventures.

I can now officially join this group. I found out last week that the offer I put on for a 210 point contract at VWL passed ROFR. I can't wait to get my paperwork so that I can book my first trip home this November. I haven't stayed at the WL yet, but it's always been my dream!

Your siggy is very nice, but it could sure use a Moose!
Please feel free to grab him and as was already mentioned:

Welcome Home Chickkypoo!!!

Wow. Had a lot of catching up to do. Belated Happy Easter to all who celebrate.

Just made ressies for our first trip home...long way out but we are booked in a 1 BR at VWL Feb. 15 - 20, 2009.
We have an off site Windsor Hills family reunion planned for October 24- Nov. 4 2008.
Granny - My wife and I will also be celebrating our 20th Anniversary on the October trip. We spent our honeymoon at the Grand Floridian. I guess that is what started our Disney obsession.

Congratulations and welcome to the VWL groupies! You made an excellent choice in resorts if I do say so myself - and I do say so myself!

WELCOME HOME, Chickkypoo!! And Welcome to the groupies!

 

[blossomz]

Hi Chickypoo!! Welcome to our group..it's a great place to check in with all the other moosiepoos!

 

[jimmytammy]

Just had to share. We added on more pts today, VWL of course (Is there anywhere else )

After the last trip, Tammy and I had discussed how nice it would be to stay in a 1 bed every trip. We had been throwing the idea around for some time, and finally bit the bullet.

Yall were the first ones we wanted to share our joy with!

 

[blossomz]

Wow! Congrats!! I know that feeling well..we bumped up to staying in 2 BR so we can have more room!

 

[cheer4bison]

Yeah JimmyTammy!!!

More points at our beloved lodge. Good for you!

I know what you mean about the 1BRs. It would be nice to stay in those rooms every time.

Also, here is my souvenir photo of the day. Found this at the Christmas shop at Downtown Disney, but it looks like it has lodge theming, don't you think? We always pick up ornaments from our travels, so of course we needed one for our first trip to VWL as DVC members.

 

[Muushka]

Congrats on the new addition JT! You did the same thing that we did. Made the mistake of staying in a 1 BR!

Yes Cheer4, those ornaments do look lodegy .
very nice.

 

[loribell]

Congrats on the add on JT!

Jill those ornaments are great. You sure are messing with my pocket book!

 

[CRSNDSNY]

Congrats JT! That's really awesome news!


c4b -- LOVE those ornaments! Looks like I'm going to have to look out for those, too!
