Oooohhhh, can I join this thread?

We own at AK, but we're staying at Villas at Wilderness Lodge in January since its so close to MK. If we could've bought through Disney at Wilderness Lodge, we would've.

Looking forward to learning more about it!!

Yeah Muushka ! Love the tags !

Another Groupie joins the moose herd!!!

Speaking of moose herds.....just a little fact about our groupie mascot that I was not aware of. I was watching Survivor Man on the Discovery Channel this past week. He was in the wilds of Canada. He said, that the male moose, is THE most dangerous animal in North America during the fall mating season. I though for sure it would be the grizzly or kodiak bear....but he said, if you see a male moose during Fall in Canada----run and hide. He said one chased him up a tree once. Just thought I'd share that little bit of trivia
(hope I never cross paths with one at the WL/VWL ! )

 

[blossomz]

I love it..we are both loveable and fierce all at once!

My pleasure! The more Groupies that visit, the more VWL pictures we get to beg for!

Maria - Thanks for the moose facts. Guess trying to pass a moose off as Rudolph during our family Christmas party is out of the question now.

I love it..we are both loveable and fierce all at once!

Especially when trying to compete for those Christmas reservations. Be afraid...be verrrrry afraid of those fierce VWL Groupies!!

Blowing some Moose Dust in the direction of all the new groupies in hopes that all their trips to the Lodge will be magically Moosey

BTW...this past weekend we were at Tweetsie Railroad which is up in the mountains of NC in Blowing Rock. While we were sitting on the train waiting for it to pull out, they played 3 songs that we have heard on the WL loop of songs. Took me back "home" for a few moments.

A little trivia to add...Tweetsie has a work area that they work on particular trains much like their own, and several times the WDW trains have been sent to these shops. I would love to be there when they send one of "Uncle Walts" trains that way.

Thanks so much for posting our dates - we really like being part of the group!


Being new to the board - how do you know when you've been tagged? And, what are your "new tags" Muushka? We're just such newbies here! (77 days until we're home again! Can't wait!!)

I see you have gotten the Groupie Moose! Looks great on you!

Actually, I have you to thank for the tags. Remember when I welcomed you with a "Hot diggity-dog"? Well the tag fairy (who is very elusive) saw it and chose that as one of my tags. They are right under my Muushka screen name. The tags are always in a color. They kept my "semi-pixie dustless" and gave it color, and added the greeting to you and also grabbed something I had posted on the "kittens at SSR" thread about seeing cats on vacations. I was very surprised that I got them, after all these years.

The tag fairy also gave our Group the Moose VWL Groupies cutie guy.
Which is why I called myself "semi-pixie dustless".

Good morning groupies!

Just wanted to let you know I heard a good podcast hosted by Lou Mongello on wdwradio this past Tuesday (Sept. 9th). There was a lengthy and detailed portion of this program dedicated to the Wilderness Lodge. Really fun! Thought some of you might enjoy it. Check it out.

Jill

PS. I've got some fun WL photos I'd love to post to this thread, but I think my post count is too low. Anyone know how many posts I must have before I can share my photos with you?

 

[Muushka]

Thanks Jill. I will have to go dig up the old podcast (if that is possible!).

Sorry, I can't answer your ? about post counts and pictures.
I hope you can post 'em soon, we haven't see any in a few days and I am starting to feel the ill-effects!

 

[cheer4bison]

Thanks for your reply Muushka. The podcast is easy to find. Just google wdwradio lou mongello and it takes you right to the correct link. Then select the podcast for Sept. 9 (which I believe is the most recent one.) The site will give you the option to download the podcast right to your computer and you can listen to it at your leisure.

Have any of you Groupies rented those cool surrey bikes at the WL? Can a faily tall eight year old reach the pedals? Any idea what it costs to rent them?

Also, have any of you eaten at Trail's End at Fort Wilderness? Would you recommend it?

(Yes, I'm a teacher and school is back in session. Where did the summer go?)

DH and I enjoy the buffet at Trail's End at Ft. Wilderness. We often end our WDW stays there, because of the food which we like and the atmosphere of FW. For me, FW is the "bonus" of being a VWL groupie, it's a world apart to enjoy. We've only rented ordinary bikes at WL.

Bobbi

PS. OMG! That new tag of mine is sort of WL themed, but it's from the Flower and Garden board, honestly!!!!

PPS. I didn't see it when I was typing this original answer, I would love to post a fainting smilie!

 

[Muushka]

I hope your school year is a great one Jill!

We have no experience with the surry bikes (but they look like they are a lot of fun).

We have eaten lunch at Trails End. We like the food and the price is great. Salads, sandwiches (tasty ones at that), fried chicken, soups, BBQ, that sort of thing. Many say that breakfast and dinner is good also. If the weather is good, the walk is a fun one. We find a pine cone at the beginning of the walk and kick it to our destination. We lead very simple lives, this is exciting to us!

Bobbi! Love that new tag addition! I believe you (I think). TF has been busy lately.
