The VWL Groupies & Trivia Thread

[bpmorley]

Okay Muushka and bp - so if we get this right - all of us dinks or sinks - agree to leave our contracts to each other! Sounds good to us! Les works for an estate planning attorney (yes we finally did do our estate planning when she got the job there - a freebie) so we're sure that she can work out some language to incorporate into everyone's Will! Anyother dinks or sinks want to join in?!

I'm up for that.

We are finally packing and WDW bound!! We are giving SSR a try, but will more than likely go to our beloved Lodge and maybe have something to eat. I cannot imagine going to WDW and not visiting VWL!

Have a great trip! And you are right, you gotta visit the Lodge. If you get a chance say "hey" to Walt for me

You'll like SSR. It's our home resort so we stay there more than anywhere else. But we've stay at VWL and loved it. SSR will be a bit of a culture shock though, just for the size compared to VWL.

 

[Muushka]

Thank you for the well-wishes. I will look for Walt (IF they let us in during the middle of the night!) and try not to be too shocked at the difference between the 2. We love trying out new resorts. We are looking forward to it. Byeeeeee

Muushka !
Have a wonderful trip !!! I was at POP on 9/28.....I would have stopped by to say "hello" !

We're on the Disney Magic out on open sea today and tommorrow. Getting ready for formal night tonight in Animator's Pallette. Just wanted to pop in and say "hi" to everyone on the thread ! (sorry this isn't WL/VWL related).

Greetings from SSR!

Maria, I thought about you yesterday. I know the water was pretty rough, I hope your sailaway was a calm one! And I hope the seas are good for you. Enjoy! We didn't arrive until the 29th, but a visit would have been great!

Well, Groupies I must admit. I love the rooms here at SSR. The decor, the furnishings. Just beautiful. And the grounds are beautiful. With my husband's injury (Achilles rupture) we are very glad to have the parking so close to the building. This is our first day, so we are still exploring.

Well, we are off to Kona right now for dinner. To be continued! I will tell Mickey HI for all!

Yes indeedy, the size is something to get used to for sure. But when I just look at our little area, all right, it is not so little, but anyway, it is really beautiful. I can easily see us staying here again one day. Of course, not in December!

No, not a convert (that would mean I would put another DVC resort above VWL, right?? ) Just someone who can appreciate other DVC resorts! I have my favorites and I have my not-so-favorite. I am just really verbal when I like something! My husband is not as crazy about it as I am. He is more of an OKW guy for some reason.

We stopped be AKL when we arrived and ate dinner there. Today we went to the models. They really are beautiful, but I cannot see me spending more than a few days there.
I could live at VWL!

Last night at Epcot we got to see Otis Day and the Knights.
Remember Animal House and the guys who sang SHOUT! and Shama Lama Ding Dang?? They were great! Then dinner at LeCellier. Really good seafood. Yum.

Well, thanks for listening. We brought the new monopod for night photos. Got some picture taking to do!

Hi Muushka.....thanks for the warm thoughts.
Our first night at sea was a rough one (9/29) ! This was our third cruise and we never felt as bad as on that first night. We were actually doing fine until about 8 pm. Then it hit. We made it to our dinner table, but then my one dd almost passed out. Barely got her back to the room. Witnessed a couple people/kids getting sick in the hallway/stairs. The next night, our servers told us probably 1/3 of the restaurant vacated before dinner was served. He told us even he was sick. Sunday morning the seas were better. Dock in St Maarten at 7 am so have to get to bed now.......hope you are having an awesome stay ! BTW....how long will you be in WDW Muushka ? We get back on Oct 6 and are staying at POFQ for the night. If you're still at SSR maybe we can stop by for a quick "hi". If not.....have a fun vacation.

Well, why don't you just take that kind of talk OVER HERE!


Glad to hear that your trip is going so well. Look forward to hearing more about it.


Maria...hoping for calm seas and a tail wind for your cruise!

Oh My God, College flashback

YES!! The 50+ crowd (sadly, like me) was so in the mood to TOGA TOGA!
And during the Shama Lama song, some guy in the back yelled OTIS! a couple of time.

Hi Maria. I'm hoping for smooth seas for the rest of your cruise.
Our first DCL had 20 to 30 foot waves, so believe me, I feel your pain, and your poor daughter .

We are leaving Saturday, boo hoo, we will miss you once again. We need to plan these things better!

Well, why don't you just take that kind of talk OVER HERE!

I was waiting for you Granny. But I didn't expect the link ! Don't worry, a little of the honeymoon is over.

This morning the coffee gods were calling me. So we are nice and close to the food court and I figured I would walk over. I had to walk in an UNPROTECTED AREA !!! AND CROSS A STREET and on the way it RAINED AND I got WET ! That would have never happened at VWL. And no lobby bustle. No inspiring music to make me want to tackle the day. No people walking in with their mouthes hanging open, looking up at the magnificent architecture. Yes, it was indeed a shock. But now I am safely back inside my beautiful villa. I think I will be all right. Thanks for listening to the whining groupie!

 

[eliza61]

Muushka,
We are letting you play at some one else's house for a short time. You are coming back home young lady after this trip!!

 

[keliblue]

Hey all,

Just back from our first WONDERFUL trip to VWL.. We are so happy that we made the investment in such an awesome place.. The weather was great as well as the CM's they changed our room when we realized that there was scafolding blocking the balconies. I got to have a long talk with Ranger Stan and even got a big hug What a sweet heart he is.. on a sad note, he told me that he is going to retire this year

 

[DISNEY FIX]

Glad you had a great time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We will be the in Nov. can't wait. Do you have any pics to share?
Thanks
Chris

It could be worse Muushka,
I was on my way to lunch friday and who do I run into on the street.

Yes folks, it's the naked cowboy singing in the middle of the street...

I need a vacation have a great time

We see him down here in New Orleans every now and then....The ummm, "interesting" part is- DH used to work with the Naked Cowboy's Dad in Cincinnati at the power company.
