The VWL Groupies & Trivia Thread

[Duckfan-in-Chicago]

We just got back yesterday from a stay that included time at AKV, SSR, but mostly VWL.

The boat was a direct route to the MK with no stop at FW. The only problem was the sign on the dock was the old sign and didn't mention a red flag. Until just now, I thought it might have been a temp thing because the Thanksgiving crowds were so big.

I was one of the people thinking of maybe replacing my VWL points with Contemp points for the ease of getting to the MK and the extra years. I can pretty much say after this stay it ain't going to happen. It takes a little longer by boat, but being a DVC member means never having to rush. We like the boat ride anyway.

Does everyone remember this??? Our beloved Tag Fairy bestowed our official insignia.

Anywhoo, I dug it up because I am going to hang it on our door at VWl. I may be slow, but I never noticed the Mickey ears hanging off of the Moose's antler! It is very clear when blown up!

Here's a big Moose Welcome

and a very Happy Holidays to all the new Groupies who have joined us!

BlueFairy & beachwarmer - Thanks for joining us and I hope your trips are extra magical! Please take plenty of pictures and be sure to post them when you get home. We'd love to hear trip reports too!

Duckfan - I don't think I could ever part with any VWL points either, so I'm really happy to hear that you'll still be a Groupie! We love the relaxing boat ride to the MK. To us, VWL is all about relaxing.

Okay my Groupie buddies, where are ya'all getting your little holiday smilies that I keep seeing that say things like "I've been frosted" etc...

You know it would be really fun to have a VWL holiday smiley that we could all to use to spread some VWL cheer that says "I've been moosed by a VWL Groupie" Maybe a moose with a stocking over an antler or something.

Ohhhhhhh Tag Fairy....Where fore art thou???????!!!!!! We need your awesome artistic talents again!!!

How about this moose with a wreath over his antler??
I stole it! Shhhhh, don't tell anyone.....

Want him?? You can say a VWL groupie stole him just for you!

Wow, 19 days on vacation! How many days at VWL? You are going to have fun fun fun!!

I usually wear a baseball cap with at beltie cow (a cow that looks like an oreo cookie) on it, if you see me (middle aged childlike female) say hi! And we will have the lime green Mickey head on our VWL door. Come on by!

We are at VWL for 12 days, Dec 17 - 28 and are at Pop Century for the first seven, Dec 10-16. I added the Pop on to the trip back in October when I got a great AP rate and found out my daughter was at school (Kindergarten)only two days a week and every other Friday.

It has snowed every day here for the past week and I am ready to get to Florida. I will keep an eye out for your cow hat to say hello. I will be with a blond little girl who will probably be dresses as a princess most of the time...

Question: Are the doors at VWL metal (to the villas)?

I'm pretty sure that they're wooden.

Hey there my moosetacular fellow Groupies!

Muushka and I have been working on a little Groupie present for everyone. Whenver you feel like spreading a little Moose Love, just grab the image below and "moose" someone with this for the holidays.

Hope you have as much fun with this as Muushka and I had creating it!

Enjoy!

 

[Muushka]

I just offered opinions, our founder did all the work.

 

[loribell]

Love it. I gotta go spread it to some of my other buddies! And of course ad him to my siggie!

The villa doors are definitely wooden. We took some magnetic signs and found that out.

Anyway, just wanted to pop on this thread and gush about VWL. We had our first stay there last week. Nothing but good things to say about the resort. We just LOVED it.

I think I would be doing the same as I did last fall (stayed at BWV and loved it so much I bought a contract the day we came home!), but we just added on at AKV, so I can't buy into VWL right now.

However, we are waiting on the CRV, but are now thinking we may skip it and just make VWL our next add-on. We took the boat over there one morning and just did not like the atmosphere as much as we did at the WL.

Our stay was just so terrific....the only negative thing that was said the entire trip was "wow it is FREEZING in here" when we were waiting for the elevator on the 3rd floor. Great service, beautiful resort, friendly staff, nice rooms....VWL gets an A+ from us!

Good morning! What a great present, to be moosed! diznyfanatic and Muushka, thank you!

We'll be home at VWL on Sunday!

Well frankly, that's little lower grade than most of us Groupies would give to VWL.

Still, glad to see you thoroughly enjoyed VWL!

And I noticed this morning that we all missed an important date a few days ago.....this thread celebrated its 1 year anniversary on November 22 and we forgot! Okay, I forgot anyway.

So here's a little belated anniversary moose, courtesy of Loribell:

Thanks for the moose diznyfanatic and Muushka. It was a wonderful surprise this morning.

It's a Snow Day here in eastern ontario with all the school buses cancelled and snow still falling until tomorrow. It sure is hard pack for Orlando when I have forgotten what it is like to go out side without six or seven layers of cloths on.

Where have you all found to be the best, most reliable weather forcast for Orlando?.....besides stepping outside when there.

Good morning . diznyfanatic worked very hard on that graphic, didn't she!

I usually just google the weather for Orlando, not sure if anyone else has any tips.
