Oh Granny. You are so thoughtful. I was going to go into my dining room and take a picture of our switchplate!

Yours is much better!
 
I have some older photos from when we still used a junky "film" camera. It was on the fritz and right after this trip we upgraded to digital so sorry about the quality.

Well, since I haven't had a chance to congratulate you on your contract, let me do so now!!

CONGRATULATIONS!! :banana:


And since you asked for a picture, I think this one will have special meaning to you next time you see it!!

Thank you Granny, we are really excited about our first trip home :goodvibes perfect picture to start my day :hug:
 
Goooooooood Moooooooorning Fellow Groupies!

First of all...congrats and welcome to all the new Groupies and to those who have recently closed on new contracts. There is certainly No Place Like HOME!!!!

Also want to say a great big THANK YOU to everyone who has shared pictures. I never tire of looking at our beloved Lodge!

Thankfully, in just 17 more days, I'll get to see it in person again! I'll be sure to take a lot of pictures to share as your pictures have certainly helped me get through until our visit!

I called the Lodge the other day to ask about the Flag Family, Ranger Stan and the main Pool. They weren't able to confirm that the pool would be open by our visit but said it is scheduled to be open by the end of March. Keeping our fingers crossed.

Also we inquired about the Flag Family. No advance signups are allowed, so we'll be sure to ask at check in.

As an FYI, Ranger Stan has Sunday, Monday and Tuesday off, so if you want to chat with him, be sure to make a note of that!

Finally, I just want to continue to send prayers and moosedust to jimmytammy. You remain in our thoughts and prayers.
 

WOW !!! Thank you JC that will get me thru the entire week :rotfl: I love the pictures.. OMGosh I am soooooooo excited to go home
 
WMCricket...thanks for sharing the photos. And some of them almost have that sepia tone look that fits perfectly with the WL theming! :thumbsup2

jimmytammy....I also echo the sentiments of all who are praying for your family at this time.
 
Good morning, fellow VWL groupies and lovers. Havent checked in here in a few days. Thanks for the thoughts and prayers, they are definitely carrying us along the way.

The pictures are great from everybody!

"Moose Dust" to all in hopes your day is a good one.
 
"Moose Dust" to to you and your family JimmyTammy.
We miss you around here. I hope all is well soon and so glad that your MIL is settling in at the new location.

WebmasterCricket, I also love your pictures. They were great. I have some very old pre-digital ones of the courtyard at Christmas when they used to put those tiny white lights on a lot of the evergreen trees. It used to be so pretty. Remember we used to get a gingerbread house?
I guess those days are gone forever.:sad2: I need to scan them in the computer and post them.
 
Well, I have a question about the VWL so I thought the "Groupies" could answer it for me......

How's the room service?

I thought that ordering room service would be a great idea for prior to MNSSHP. That way I can get the kids ready and we don't have to rush around.

Thanks O Knowledgable Ones :worship:
 
We got the pizza delivery one night and we didn't like the pizza at all, wouldn't get it again. I think I would be more likely to send an adult down to Roaring Forks and pick up some food and bring it back, unless you actually use the kitchen and make something (gasp!;)) .
 
Thanks for the "O Knowledgeable Ones" title. But for myself, I'm not worthy!:dance3:

We have never ordered room service. But your situation seems like a perfect fit for it! Let us know how you like it :thumbsup2 . Hopefully other groupies will have had the experience.

This year will be our first MNSSHP and F&W. I still cannot believe we have never done these events!
 
Count us in as VWL groupies too. We always stay at VWL and consider it our "beloved lodge". There is just nowhere like it! Last year one of my favorite memories was sitting by the fire, reading a book, while a thunderstorm raged outside! It was wonderful with all of that great music in the background!:grouphug:
 
Another Groupie?? You can't have too many Groupies! :cool1:

Welcome to blossomz! I don't have sigs on so I don't know if you have a Moose, but if not, be sure to snag one! And thanks for the (fond) memories. Keep 'em coming :yay:

I have used Miss Jenny's Room Service several times, while it was expensive the food was very good. Just click on the menu below for the offerings.

I really flubbed up today and forgot that MS was open! I am doing a day by day ressie for a dedicated 2br at the VWL. I got my first day 10/15, but then forgot to call today to get my next day! Wish me lots of pixie dust that I get the rest of our days!!!!!

pixiedust: I hope you get it! I think you will! VWL has lots of dedicated 2 br and I think in October people here seem to want the Epcot area more. We're staying at VWL in October too! But we'll be there Halloween week!

My husband says name the time and the place :darth: :thumbsup2

I need to adopt that nose-rubbing practice. We always ring the bell going down to the villas though. That is a must.

Say, speaking of VWL trivia, has anyone else noticed that they did (not so good) chimney (s) repair in the past year? I don't like them, got some great pictures of the old ones with the night lights shining up them. Glad I got them before they changed. (These are the ones at the entrance to the Lodge). They re-faced just one side of each of the two. Picky, I know, but what can I say??
I brought 16 members of my family down to VWL. When we walked over to the Villas I told them they had to ring the bells each time they walked past them because it will bring them good luck. It was fun to watch all of them ring the bells the whole week we were there. I LOVE THAT PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How fun is that ????? :cool1:
 
We use to ring the bell every trip by it, now I try to only let the children ring it during the day. This was after reading a trip report by some poor person that was located just above the area, the bell ringing drove them crazy all hours of the night and early in the morning. I had never thought of the guest staying at the lodge on the 3rd floor. :confused3
