keliblue - I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. This is the hardest part. Waiting to make that first reservation, but once you walk through that WL door and are able to behold that beautiful and majestic lobby and call it home for the first time, it will all be worth it!

lisah0711 - Welcome to the Groupies! Pull up a chair and grab the Groupies siggie kindly provided by the DIS Tag Fairy. That first trip Home to VWL is definitely a moment you will remember forever. Be sure to take some time and relax in the Iron Spike Room, or grab a chair in that amazing lobby and just listen to the awesome music. Another must do is to sit in the rockers on the Villas porch and listen to all the sounds of nature around you. VWL is one of those places that forces you to slow down and drink it all in. You can relax and just enjoy it because you know you're Home and there will be lots of future trips.

Congratulations...the decorations should still be up when you check in...not sure how long they keep them up but you should see most of them I hope. What a great time for a first trip to VWL!

DS & I will be at the VWL this August

 

[lisah0711]

Thanks guys! I am definately looking forward to it. I have stayed at WL twice but this is the first time at the Villas.

One of the things I love about DVC is that you can always have one or two trips in the works and I appreciate all the info on the Groupies thread. (May take a bit to figure out the tag thing).

To funny !! I wonder what "moose dust" looks like or smells like for that matter I love it... just love it

This seems like a good place for this pic. It was in my sig...I resized it, but it didn't meet the guidelines so I took it out.

My son had to touch Mickey's tail every time he walked past. We've already got our next trip planned.

Ah, the Mickey topiary! I think of the character totem pole in the WL as sort of the emblem of WL, and the Mickey topiary as the emblem of VWL. Sort of a symbol of taking the WL to the next level, and because he's holding the DVC sign something that ties VWL even more directly to Disney (since it's so easy to forget you at WDW when on the resort property).

Duckfan...very cool that your son "gets it" at such a young age. Better start buying some AKV points for his inheritance!

Yeah...we got points at AKV on day one. I wasn't going to, but the closer it came to the sale date, the more that place always seemed the most like the WL to me as far as theming goes, and I couldn't help myself.

Duckfan-in-Chicago, you son is such a cutie. I love that picture, thank you for posting it! And is that a Corgi in your sig? Also very cute. And what is up with the carrot cake at BW??? I don't usually have sigs turned on but I have them on just to see what everyone is up to

Yeah...that's a Corgi. He had foot surgery about three weeks ago, and just got the cone off a few days ago.

As far as the carrot cake, I don't know what's up with it. It used to be the best anywhere. The slices were so big it would feed three people. The size is smaller, and more importantly it just doesn't taste the same. I'm guessing it's somehow healthier for me.
