Are you driving or flying? I hope you are safe and swift in either case.

We leave tomorrow afternoon. Drive to Jupiter FL on Sat, board ship at FLL Sunday. Go home (to VWL ) the following Sunday until Thursday. We are all packed and I am counting the minutes!

We are flying nonstop via AirTran. I think that it will be okay. Going south, you know.

Don't know it, and I know it can't be this obvious... but Chip and Dale? (The Rodney Dangerfield's of Disney) No respect I tell ya!

The "Springs" at Hidden Springs pool are wonderful! I think they were made stronger by the refurbishing that was recently done. The Hot tub was perfect temperature.

What a great visit we just had...passed the Christmas tree #3 along. However, the most amazing thing (to me) that we did was that we CANCELLED the BWV GV 40th Anniversary stay (day by day calling at 11 months) for June and booked the whole gang here at VWL...We just love VWL too much not to celebrate our very special time there, and so after enjoying the pool and grounds one morning, I gave the suggestion to DH and he said to go for it!

There were only 3 studios at VWL available for one of our nights, and we needed 2 of them, so the decision to change had to be made ASAP...so I did the change then and there.

Nope, not Chip and Dale. But they were in the show!

Excellent! I'm glad that you had a great vacation at WL! How were the Christmas decorations? We enter 'the lodge' in about 3 days from now.

I can't wait to try out the pool for the first time. Sounds great. Glad you had a great time. I have also never seen Christmas at the Villas. Just the thought is giving me goosebumps.

I will try to hold up the nasty weather here in the midwest for you.

We leave tomorrow afternoon. Drive to Jupiter FL on Sat, board ship at FLL Sunday. Go home (to VWL ) the following Sunday until Thursday. We are all packed and I am counting the minutes!

Hope the both of you have a wonderful time and want to hear all about it.

They really are outstanding!!! With the Christmas music piped in...Holly and the Ivy is one of my favorites, the whole effect is perfect! The villas' decorations are wonderful as well.

Do go see the other resorts...however, I must admit, that the Grand Floridian didn't see so special to me this year...same ole same ole, yes it's an amazing Gingerbread house but this year it didn't wow me!

On the other hand...don't miss BWV...Daisy and Donald's display is gorgeous...as is the Beach Club's carousel!!! The train display at the Yacht club is so pleasing. The little details, like the snow coming out of the snowblower as someone is shoveling the driveway is perfect!

You know something Rob? It is as if you have always been with us! Thank you for the well wishes.

You are most welcome Muuschka. I guess in my heart, I have always been here. It just took me a while to find.

Now for something completely off topic. How do you add who the quote was from when you insert it into a reply?

You are such a quick study! And thanks for the proper spelling!

My real name is Barb, if that is any easier for anyone.

Shhhh...that's a secret that only the Groupies are supposed to know!!

We just love VWL too much not to celebrate our very special time there, and so after enjoying the pool and grounds one morning, I gave the suggestion to DH and he said to go for it!

Bobbi....that is very cool!! Of course, a GV at BWV with that view of Crescent Lake ain't too shabby either. But I think I would have made the same choice. VWL is a place that "speaks to the soul" (thanks, Eliza!) and is felt in the heart. So what better place to celebrate a 40 year affair of the heart for you!!

 

[Granny]

Nope, not Chip and Dale. But they were in the show!

WDad....I never saw the show, and am having a hard time even guessing. Can you at least tell us if they are Disney characters? If so, I'll guess Mickey & Donald!

This show was at Pioneer Hall.

Think VWL mascot with little more than a head to his name.

Booked our annual November trip yesterday!!! 1 dedicated 2-bedroom, 2 Studios, and a site at Fort Wilderness (Cash Ressie) 15 of us going next year. All on the deluxe dining plan. All that is left is to book the flights, buy the park passes in June to beat the increase and lots of waiting. We will be at our beloved lodge from 11/4 - 11/10/2008.

Anyone else going around that time?????

to all those going in the next few weeks, ENJOY!!!

Happy Holidays to all!!!

Wish I was! I'd be there on my birthday again!! Have a great trip!
