The VWL Groupies & Trivia Thread

[melk]

How did I miss this thread for so long??? We own at VWL and love, love, love it. This year though we're trying out a split stay between OKW and BWV. I'm looking forward to it but I feel like I'm cheating on VWL!!

Sounds like you could use a little moose in that signature of yours!

We really like BWV for a change of pace, and OKW for the point savings and big rooms, but our heart will always be at WL/VWL!

Welcome and where have you been???? Glad you are here.
Yup, looks like you could use a moose in that sig!

I understand the feeling of cheating when staying at another DVC resort. It is tough, but we need to branch out, right . We are staying at SSR for a few nights this October. It will be our first time. We would ordinarily stay at VWL but we plan on going to TL and DD because we don't plan on doing a lot of parks. So we figured this would be a good trip to try SSR. We are looking forward. I think .

keliblue, great picture, thank you for the fix.

keliblue - Cool picture! Thanks for sharing!

bobbbi - Sorry, we want you to stay right here. The VWL Groupies are a lot like the Hotel California...you can check out but you can never leave.

melk - Welcome to the Groupies! We've been waiting for you!

I thought I'd share the photos of our first trip home last Spring. Not unique really and my DGD helped take them but at least we'll all get our Moose fix!

Thanks for the welcome, everyone!! Just managed to insert that little moose in my signature, so I'm in!!!!

Welcome to the Groupies...Great job on your Moose.

I just called Member Services was on hold for 20 minutes. I had to change my December reservation...... I found out late yesterday afternoon that my extended family aren't going to be able to join us this December. I was praying I could change my 2-Bedroom to a 1-Bedroom.

I was successful I'm so glad I didn't have to give up my week

Beckie.

What dates was that for Beckie? We might have to do the same thing.

Beckie...that is just HUGE! Congratulations and I'm glad the reservation switch worked out for you!

Hi Groupies, thought I would share a few photos from Dec 2005.

Oh, if those don't make us all home sick, I don't know what will! Great photos Jim, and it looks like Christmas 2005 was a little sunnier than Christmas 2006!

Speaking of Christmas 2006, can you guess which balcony was ours?

And here's a shot of our great Christmas tree (thanks Jim!!) and our stockings were hung on Christmas eve.

Granny
Thanks, I was really worried about changing.

I'm going to guess... The one with the garland and Snowman?

Ding ding ding ding ding.....we have a winner!! You can't see by that picture, but we also had a few strands of white lights intertwined in the garland, and the snowman was illuminated as well. It was quite gaudy...so much so that we could pick out our balcony as the boat approached the WL dock! Yes, the Griswalds did make it to WDW this past Christmas!

 

[Muushka]

Hmmm. I am inspired Granny. This Christmas we WILL decorate our balcony and have a tree! Thanks all for sharing the great pictures.

Speaking of pictures, does any of you have a favorite (read:free) site to store your pictures at? We cannot stand spam, once you join these things, did you get much spam?

Thanks!

I use Sony ImageStation someone on one of the other boards recommended it to me years ago, I receive a few E-Mails with offers a few times a month but NO SPAM.

Just click on the link below:

Thanks MAGICinMYHEART, I will check it out.

magicalmcwho, great pics of the Lodge. Thanks for sharing!

I have used a few different sites, but am now using Photobucket.com. It is free, and has some really nice features such as automatically converting photos to smaller sizes more appropriate for web sites like this.

I have a good spam blocker so no spam for me at this point.

 

[Muushka]

Thanks Granny.

Can I have an extension on my weekend project (pic posting) to next weekend????

I just happened to think, I had signed up for Photobucket.com about a year ago. So I just checked and sure nuff, I had. No spam!!! Yay!! Thanks all.....got some work to do.....

 

[Muushka]

OK, you asked for it!

This was taken at AKL. So cute, the 'backside' of a lizard

EWP from, where else??

Thanks for the tips! You have created a photo-monster!

Oh, those are great photos! I haven't really mastered the art of night time photography so the EWP is something I've never been able to capture. I can hear "Grand Old Flag" in my head as I look at it!

And that close up of the lizard on the leaf is very good as well.

I think you have the wrong words...you're not a photo-monster, you're a photo-master!!
