The VWL Groupies & Trivia Thread

[MiaSRN62]

I just wanted to drop in and share my good news that DW and I just made an offer on a VWL contract through resale!

Awesome ransom ! I wish you all the best with some Moose Dust sprinkled on top !

 

[Muushka]

oh no, not again!

OK folks, got another one for ya.

How many stories tall is the main lobby at our beloved lodge?

Six?

I'm gonna go with 7. Barb, you've got my original answer, so I figured I'd try the old "price is right" stratergy at getting the right answer.

Sending more Moose Dust in hopes that all goes well for you folks in getting that resale locked in soon.

Thank you for the Moose Dust! It worked in finding a resale, so surely....

Well hot-diggity-dog! It sounds like you did some real soul-searching for the VWL thing! Fingers crossed that all goes well with the resale and soon we will be welcoming you home .

Thank you for the kind wishes. It was a long process, but worth it!

We're in ROFR now. Keeping my fingers crossed that Disney doesn't need any VWL points at the moment.

I was on Ebay some months back... went to the Lots section and saw where the spreads from WL were being auctioned. I won the auction for one of the lots. We have remodled our Lake house, we just made all the beds and put all the spreads on the beds last week. They are in excellent condition. I could not be happier! They stayed in the box for months in my garage, I can not tell that they have even been used! It is part of the beloved Lodge that I now have with me on the weekends. I leave for my stay on Sunday.

Muushka, you say 6 stories, Eliza61, you say 7. Both of you are real close, but not quite there yet.

Is it 5? I cheated, I went to Fodor's online travel guide and they say 5. Good question Jimmy, this one was hard to find.

One a side note, how long does it usually take the boat to get to MK? I was reading a review on Fodor's and a guy there said it took him 45-50 mins to get to MK from WL by boat. He vacationed there Feb of 07. Talk about slow boat to China!!

According to a post on another thread, they indicated the boat takes about 10-12 minutes from the WL dock to the MK dock. That's assuming it's not in the afternoon when it goes to FW first.

45-50 minutes? Must have been quite a headwind out there and 20 foot waves!

If you had to wait 20 minutes for the Green Flag Boat and you where traveling to the Magic Kingdom after 3:00pm when the boat route has reversed and then travels to Ft. Wilderness Campground (load and unloading time) then back to the Magic Kingdom the travel time could easily take 40+ minutes.

Thought you guys might enjoy these pics I snapped at VWL last week. Very nice resort. I think my impressions change with the weather. I wasn't bowled over in December but I adore spring at VWL. Maybe this is why:

"What's that hiding in the bushes?"

"Baby bunny!"

 

[Muushka]

Awwww. What a cute bunny!

Its not 5, go the other direction. I will say I found the answer in a very reliable guidebook

Geesh! I bid 8? I guess that counts the half-floor where Roaring Forks is too? I feel like I'm at an auction!

SOLD!!!!!! Not sure if RF is included in that or not, but pretty sure not. Got the answer from the Birnbaum Official Guide 02 edition.

 

[jimmytammy]

We all know that WL/VWL has its own Geyser. Can anyone tell me the official name of that Geyser?

 

[Granny]

I'm pretty sure it is Fire Rock Geyser.

 

[blossomz]

OK..I got this one from Stan. What do the lines on the floor of the original Lodge lobby represent?

 

[MaryJ]

Lightning, I think.

 

[blossomz]

Partial credit....anyone know what the lightening stands for?

You got it Granny! Sorry for the lengthy time in reply. We were outta town with not such great access to the internet.
