The VWL Groupies & Trivia Thread

[lenshanem]

Glad you had a good time Maria and survived the heat!

...like the "preferred view" Maria had at BWV once that clearly wasn't very "preferred".

Oh yes Granny, you're correct.......the valet parking lot was the predominent view. You could see TOT off in the distance only if you were actually standing out on the balcony and turned 90 degrees to the right. But pretty much the parking lot was the view-----but BWV and DVC said because there was a view of water (had a small canal under us), that is why it was considered "preferred". Yet people just about 4 doors down from me were considered "standard".

This is probably as good a time as any to post this picture...makes me hungry just looking at the menu!

Thanks Granny ! I was just standing in front of this sign less than 24 hours ago ! I wanna go back !

Thanks Shan !
We're summer wdw vets. It's definitely not my preferred time to visit, but with older kids in middle and high school, it's a necessary evil. As it is, we doing a Magic cruise late in Sept and feel bad the kids will miss 5 days there.
But with summer heat, we just pace ourselves and take it alot slower. The parks were so crowded the past almost 2 weeks. Typhoon Lagoon was closed to capacity by 10:45 am the past 3 days !

Maria....glad to hear that you had another great trip. All but one of our WDW trips have been during the summer so we know exactly what you mean by "summer vets".

And for whatever reason, I'm never quite as hot at WL/VWL as other places on WDW property. Something about the setting just seems to make me feel cooler. Still, hot is hot and it's nice to be able to laze around during the day when so many people are scrambling to tour the parks commando style. Just another benefit to owning DVC and being able to slow down, and enjoy the accommodations.

And thanks for the additional scoop on CRV. I'm not a big fan of the decor and theming of CR, but the location is hard to beat. DW wants to add on there, but I think I'd like AKV better. Those AKV models are just beautiful!

Hope all the groupies are having a good summer, I hear it is blistering hot at the World this summer.

Here's a quick trivia question. Those of us over a certain age (we don't look a day over 21) will have the advantage. Not really WLV specific, more wilderness lodge themey.

this actor is celebrating a birthday today. Who is he and what was the name of the popular show he was in?

very easy one today

The show was Davy Crockett, but I'm not sure about the actor. Maybe Fess Parker?

 

[MiaSRN62]

Tough one for me (and I am a certain age ! ). I sort of recognize his face ? But don't know his name....

 

[Muushka]

(Sing to the appropriate tune.....)

Dav-ey, Davey Crocket

King of the wild frontier!

Happy Birthday Fess!

Thanks for the trivia Eliza!

I just love this thread!

 

[wildernessDad]

It's Fess Parker and the funny thing is that he was allergic to horses.

He also owns a hotel or some such in California, I think.

Good job moose heads,
Wilderness Dad is right, it's ole Fess Parker. He now owns a hotel and wine vineyard in California.
Mary J got the right show. Davey Crocket andMy pal Muushka, got the theme show song.
I wonder if they sell that hat at the lodge.

From the list on the 1st page, we're entering into a dry spell with visits to the lodge. Mia, I think you were the last one there, your gonna have to post some pixs until November to keep us going

Oops. Your post was on the next page, sorry for repeating the 'Grab the sigi'. But I guess 2 invites are good, right?

PS we will be there at the end of September also. But sadly, not at the lodge. Trying out SSR!
Hope you have a great time.

I'll second that prayer since we'll most likely be sleeping on one of those for the second half of our November trip!

Who played Davy Crockett's sidekick? Hmm?
