The VWL Groupies & Trivia Thread

[Granny]

The Moose Dust worked!! I called MS to book rooms for the two days we had waitlisted at SSR as a backup, and the CM told me that my waitlist had come through!

We will be going home 11/3-11/12, celebrating my birthday on the 10th!

ALL RIGHT!!!!

That calls for the multi-purpose MOOSE CELEBRATION DANCE!

Gone for a week and I come back to all of this good news -- Jimmy's DMIL, successful moose dust dances, and Granny breaking free from his static avatar. "Our Beloved Wilderness Lodge" is quite a magical place!

First, and most importantly, so relieved to hear the great news about Jimmy's MIL. Continued prayers for a complete recovery!

As promised, here are a few pictures from our recent VWL stay. I'm somewhat disappointed as quite a few of them didn't turn out at all. I'll at least share what I can.

I'm already homesick and can't wait to go back!

I love the idea of a photo spot!!

Do you remember what room you were in? We are going to be in a lock-off room in November too. Our first one at VWL! We've been members there since 2001 and have always had a dedicated 2BR. The view from your balcony looked nice.

Everyone should take a random picture and we should see if we can guess where it was taken. That could be fun for everyone who is left behind to keep the home fires burning.

 

[Muushka]

How about a random picture and a picture at a designated spot? Best of both worlds!

diznyfanatic, your pictures made my heart go pitter-patter (I am not kidding) . Love them. They made me feel like I was there. Thank you.

 

[blossomz]

Those pictures just make me sigh... I once asked a bus driver to stop at the arch so I could get a good photo! It's one of my favorites!

Yes, we were in 2539 & 2537 (I think that's right anyway!)

You're very welcome. I just wish more of them had come out okay. We had pictures of the Geyser as well as all of the pools and more of the Iron Spike room. We were having trouble with pictures coming out really blurry for some reason this time.

I really like your idea of both a random and a designated picture spot too.

I love those arches too. The minute they come into view, I can feel myself relaxing and I feel like we're home.

I'm working on the pictures to share and will have some of them by tomorrow. Hopefully you all won't be too disappointed as you all have shared some awesome pictures!

We're still fairly new members and don't know all the really cool spots to take pictures from yet. We're having a blast exploring for them though!

Hey, if we're working on a slogan, wouldn't it also be fun if the Groupies picked out one special spot at our wonderful Lodge to have a picture taken at whenever we visit and then share it with everyone?

That is a great idea! Now where to let that shot come from?


Whoops, I should have read a little further and realized the suggestion of a random shot, my bad.

Thanks for all the well wishes for my DMIL. Great news, she is definitely coming home today. In fact , Tammy is leaving right now to pick her up.

Congratulations! I think I'm having a moose melt down. We're heading back the same week (Jersey week) but since we're celebrating my Ds birthday, he got to pick the resort. So this year we're going to BCV's.

It's always the younger ones that getcha'

My condolences about not being able to go to MooseLand.
By any chance is this the son who wears black and sings Johnny Cash music??

vette....welcome to the DIS Boards, and here's a VWL sign that will have deep meaning for you when you see it in November:

You already thought of the one thing I think is very special...an Illuminations or Wishes Cruise.

And very kind of you to bring everyone along for the celebration of that great event. My guess is you won't have to go overboard on the "special stuff"...I'm sure your parents will think the entire trip is very special in and of itself!
