Only on a Disney website would you be able to say something looks like "Pooh" and not be extremely insulting!

I thought about that after posting, then I thought, Granny will know what I mean...I hope?? No pun intended, Granny

"Pooh is a bear!" I hope you're not picking on Granny!

Almost spit up my coffee reading this! Fortunately, I'm not awake enough to generate that much effort.

Actually, I'm just happy that you guys haven't laughed me off the boards with my crude drawing. Obviously, I don't have the hang of drawing with a mouse.


To add a bit to the "hidden bear", I've heard some others refer to the two wings of rooms as the bear's arms. That seems a bit of a stretch to me but then again I can never look at 5 stars in the sky and see an entire person or animal either.

Thanks Granny.

(And it does kinda look like Pooh!)

Good evening, fellow Groupies. I have dug way down deep into my old film (what the heck is that ) files and pulled out our favorites.

These pictures are pretty old, circa 1995. And yes, WL used to do a lot more for Christmas, and we have the pictures to prove it! Even the WL GINGERBREAD HOUSE!! Although it is still very lovely at Christmas, just not quite as fluffy.

Here are the first 3

 

[Muushka]

Here are the next 3. That top one was one of our best WL moments. Christmas, sitting above that beautiful music and the bottom one shows how much they used to decorate the courtyard.

 

[Muushka]

Here are the next 3. Can you tell we really like those night shots and those chimneys. I keep whining about the chimneys being different. It is because that picture in the upper left hand corner hangs in our dining room and I see it everyday. Notice the inside of the chimney on the left has a lot of texture, you can see the stones. They did something to them and now that area is all flat and uninteresting.
Can you tell I don't do well with change??

 

[Muushka]

Sorry, I got on a photograph roll, but this is the last, I promise. Well there is 1 more, but I have to shrink it down first.

 

[Muushka]

Last one. This is our computer wallpaper. Lots of black areas for icons! We shot it thru a filter and kind of liked the results. This is the only digital. Ok. I am going to bed. Thanks for looking!

 

[blossomz]

Wow..I had no idea about Christmas! That was beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing!

Chris

I would say you are pretty much "official" after all that. But I will send some Moose Dust your way to bump start you

Welcome to the VWL groupies!

Another VWL Groupie!! Ammo, on post #769, did a great job of describing the procedure. I have my sigs on and I'll be looking for your brand spanking new Moose!

Muushka...thanks for the great photos!! Nicely transfered to digital.

I've seen other photos of WL at Christmas in years gone by, and it is evident they have dialed back the decorations quite a bit. When we went this last time at Christmas it was our first time at that time of the year, so we had nothing to compare it to. We found it to be very nicely decorated, but not as elaborate as what they had several years ago.

Here's a picture of the giant Christmas Village they used to have on display in 1999:

Pretty cool looking, but nowhere in sight this past Christmas. Still, we have absolutely no complaints about the ambience of WL during the holidays. In fact, I think I probably prefer it to be a little less "in my face" in keeping with the feel of the whole resort.

 

[ransom]

Thank you for posting those pictures!

I'm not eligible to be an official VWL groupie, since I have been unsuccessful in finding a VWL contract (in fact, in the last two days NO VWL contracts have come on the market at all, but dozens of contracts for the others have!).

So I'm stuck in Little Mermaid mode, looking on and saying, "I wish I could be a part of that world."

It's torture to see those pictures, but it's also inspiring! Maybe my perfect contract will come along soon.

Muushka - Great Pix thanks, I love the chimneys and waterfalls at night also.

Disney Fix - Welcome aboard!

Well groupies it is absolutely pouring rain here in RI so I thought a little WL Geyser in the bright blue sky would help.

Have a great day!
