The VWL Groupies & Trivia Thread

Who played Davy Crockett's sidekick? Hmm?

Buddy Ebson of course..

 

[DISNEY FIX]

A little strategy.......
Before I ask this on the Planing Board, what do you guys/gals do about scheduling for a Thanksgiving time trip. I was thinking about a studio for the 3 or 4 big ticket days and a 1br, for the 4-5 days after that. Is this crazy?
Thanks
Chris

Fess Parker has been one of my favorite actors since I was a kid. I remember watching him on Daniel Boone as a kid.

So, with Fess Parker as a recurring topic, can anyone tell me who his sidekick was on Daniel Boone? I will give this hint...his name on the show was Mingo, but what is his stage name?

For those who arent aware, when staying at VWL, wander over to Trails End at FW, go into that bldg. and to your left will be Crockett's Tavern. Near the bar area is a case with Davey's faithful rifle ol Bessy and his coonskin cap from the show, along with a few other memorabilia things.

That would be Ed Ames... but I had to cheat on this one

As a new comer I am going to assume that GOOGLEING is frowned upon.

Nope, not crazy at all. This Christmas we will be there a couple of days prior to Christmas in a 1 BR and then in a studio for a couple of days. We figured it was time to try the studio again (last time was first trip to VWL).

But your idea works better than ours. We are going from a 1 BR to a studio. I would rather it be the other way.

Can I assume you have points at VWL?

Will be staying in a studio at the VWL for the first time this Feb. I have been trying and cannot find if all units have a balcony or patio...smjj

Yep. When we bought we got 150 @ VWL and 150 @ BCV.
I can't wait to get there this November. We were planning for next Thanksgiving. Probably get into a studio a couple days before and after Thanksgiving (high points) then a 1br for another 4 days or so.

Sounds like a great plan!

There is 1 room, a studio, that does not have a balcony.
? 4530, I think. All the other studios from floor 2 up have balconies. The ones on the first floor have a patio.

Thanks for the vote of confidence we are working the spread sheets over.

Seperate topic: Any COFFEE drinkers in the group? I will be at the VWL and BCV over the next 6 months. Are the coffee pots 10-12 size or the small ones? We will bring our own coffee and Brits for taste. I just need to know if the coffee makers cut the mustard or should I be looking for a cheapie to bring and put in the Owners Locker.
Thanks for the insight.

The studio without a balcony or patio is 4533.

The coffee pots are full size (10-12 cups) in both the studios and 1 and 2 BR's.
