The VWL Groupies & Trivia Thread

[Muushka]

We have the little critters outside here at home. They stick to our bedroom window!

I think I have seen them at WDW also.

Our froggies like to serenade us to sleep. They are SO loud.
Were the ones at VWL noisy?

I don't remember hearing them while we were in Florida. We were charmed by their size.

I think Goofydad will always be followed by frogs.
The ones here at home are rather noisy as well. Goofydad regularly rescues them from his car tire. Apparantly one is always in the driveway when he gets home. He routinely parks the car, gets out and removes the frog from the driveway. Then he will park the car. I sometimes wonder if the frog is trying to commit suicide by car.

Here are some frog friends from our recent trip.

We saw one on the window of the fourth floor as you turn the corner of the long hallway. Probably more groupies

Yall have some great shots of the Lodge! We have enjoyed looking at them.

Ranger Stan and The jimmytammy family...we had to ask for directions to the closest WalMart and knew the man to go too.

DS Casey getting his fill at 50s PTC...he shoulda just ate his green beans in the 1st place

Juice Newton at Epcot. She is a big Disney fan. She says she and her family live in Ca. so her kids went with their dad to Disneyland while she was visiting WDW. Fair is fair. She still has a great voice and seems to really still love performing.

 

[jimmytammy]

After all these years, the first time seeing it for myself. What kinda groupie am I?

Ok, where in the world is it? I looked for it but I couldn't find it!

I always enjoy the pictures, and boy did my DS's listen to "Queen of Hearts!" when they were growing up. I would have liked to be at that concert!

Go to the fireplace in the Villas atrium. Facing the fireplace turn to your right and take a couple of steps. Look up, and at the back of one of the carved wood posts protruding into the lobby area. It's on the back of one with a snake if I'm remembering correctly.

JT....what a great looking family! Love that picture with you guys and Stan the Man!

 

[goofydad99]

That is where we went wrong. I have a picture of the hm above the fireplace in the lobby. I have pictures of the children in front of the fireplace. Oh well, I guess I have a reason to go back.

Great pics JT. I feel like I am there with you! And nice looking family. Thanks for sharing with us.

Your mouse picture came out great (actually they all did).

Did anyone ever notice that mantle piece (is that how you spell it??) is warped? Or imperfect (but because it is at VWL, it is perfect!). When you sit in the rockers and stare at it, it looks odd, but beautiful!

JT, you lost your VWL Groupie Moosie in the "Great Siggie Round-up, Down-size of '07".

Keep up the pics!

Being a carpenter, that mantle has been driving crazy for years. I always want to throw a level on a pull it into place. That huge chunk of wood couldnt help but warp though. Like you say, its part of the beauty of the place we call home.

When I get back to reality, I need some help in re-aquiring Mr. Moose.

BTW, Juice Newton is staying here at the Lodge. We saw her last night here. DD very quietly approached her and told her she saw her the night before and asked for her autograph. She showed her a guitar pick that she got when Juice threw it out to the audience. Her guitarist and drummer were with her.

 

[Muushka]

Oh good, I'm glad we are not the only ones who stare at that mantle!
Hey, The 'Juice' (the good one) has great taste in WDW resorts! That is nice for your daughter!

Cool....a little brush with celebrity for your dd

 

[Happydinks]

Hey JT - thanks so much for all the picture posting! Looks like you had a great time! Makes our upcoming trip seem not too far away!

 

[jimmytammy]

We are still here at the Lodge. Having a great time! Just got back from MK. It is HOT, HOT, HOT. We have been a couple Oct trips before, and it has been warm. But this is crazy! Aint complaining, glad to be in the World. It sure is nice to have the cool comfort of the Lodge to come back too though

Still have more pics coming and will try to get them posted real soon.

Going "Up On The Roof" with Ranger Stan tommorrow morning then do the Wonders of the Lodge tour right after. BTW, he must be the only one giving that tour as it states the days as Wed-Sat, his days on. Muushka, I will ask him while we have him to ourselves to get us to the proper authorities on the subject you asked me about earlier. JT on assignment, signing off

 

[Muushka]

You are a good soldier. Have a great time!

PS if it is any consolation, it is very hot here in NC.

Reporting in from the Lodge

I posted this picture earlier in the week unknowingly(Im so ashamed)that it no longer said Iron Spike Room. Yes thats right, its no longer the ISR!

We did the Wonders of the Lodge tour this morning after the flag family rendevous. Ranger Stan informed us that the ISR is no longer. He wasnt sure when it will be renamed other than an official announcement will come sometime this month.

It will now be named the Carolwood Pacific Room after Walts beloved train that resides in the room. Sorry for the post of that picture earlier with no explanation

 

[ransom]

I think it's a good name change.

 

[wildernessDad]

I like the name change as well. I hope that they put more of the Carolwood Pacific railroad in the room!
