The VWL Groupies & Trivia Thread

[DisneyNutzy]

Thanks for all the "Welcome Home" good wishes! It took awhile but I figured out the pictures in the signatures

Don't mean to get OT on my 2nd post on the groupie thread but dsquarednz are you a softball fan? I coach several players from the New Zealand Black Sox during our summer season. Actually I was just in Disney last month at a tournament in the Wide World of Sports complex with a few of them...sorta back on topic..lol

Good Morning VWL Groupies! I have another question if you don't mind. We have a studio booked and I just want to make sure of my room request. I keep hearing about dedicated studios vs. lock off. Is one better to request than the other? Is the room set up different? If I asked this before I apologize because I'm easily confused. Thanks!

Degli : have fun on your fast-approaching trip to the Lodge !

Malibelle : I am sure you will have a fantastic time at the Lodge this March. Will this be your 1st stay there ? Also, you wedding photos were awesome. I looked at them all. Your gown was beautiful.......those Tink bridesmaid jackets were too cute......that video of your grandmom and your cousins was so cute (but I think it was SHE who was entertaining THEM ! She can really cut some dance moves !). Had to do a shout-out for the Cape May, NJ pics. Just love it there ! Congrats again !

dsquarednz : Congrats on the ressie confirmation at VWL and BCV. I'm sure it will be an awesome trip for you all !!!

DisneyNutzy :

HOME !

Lisa...here's sending "mooseful" wishes that you won't have to cancel that trip !!!!

Hey, Muushka!

First of all I'd like to thank you for being an amazing VWL groupie and keeping this thread active and interesting!

I am curious to know when you all bought DVC and the process you went through to gravitate towards VWL as your selection.

Have a great Friday!

Hey, keliblue! They still have your old dates for your December stay in the December Holiday thread!

We were not smart enough to buy when VWL was first selling. So we ended up purchasing BCV. We stayed there once...but we missed our lodge! So every year after that we called right at 7 months out to get in the lodge. Then we heard from our guide that there were points available for VWL and purchased! (was going to sell BCV, but got greedy!) and then when AKV came along we decided it was best to buy from the get go rather than do what we did when VWL was selling! So that's our story!

I am glad that you got what you wanted! Even if it was in a round-about way! Of course, more points is good, right?

 

[blossomz]

I always say you can never have too many points!!

We bought re-sale 2 years ago Being from California and empty nesters, we couldn't justify 160 pts at a resort that just didn't float our boat (cough..SSR) so we purchase 100 pts at VWL which happened to be where we Disneymooned oooooooo so many years ago Now we are about to add on 1 trip every other year has now turned into 2 trips EVERY year

Hey, keliblue! They still have your old dates for your December stay in the December Holiday thread!

Ohhhh gosh, forgot about that thread, hope I can find it again

thanks WD

I am hoping these become my famous last words.

 

[loribell]

After our first onsite stay we flew back a couple of months later for a long weekend, toured VWL and bought while we were there. We actually went to buy. Of course we could have done it over the phone but what fun is there in that?

You know, WD I was just speaking about the people on this thread to another Groupie in the form of a PM. I had said that I loved the way Groupies have stepped up to the plate to help everyone involved with this thread to feel welcome. And what a great job you and many other relatively 'new Groupies' have and are doing, in addition to the old timers (not mentioning any names!).

Don't mean to get OT on my 2nd post on the groupie thread but dsquarednz are you a softball fan? I coach several players from the New Zealand Black Sox during our summer season. Actually I was just in Disney last month at a tournament in the Wide World of Sports complex with a few of them...sorta back on topic..lol

Hiya! No, sorry to say I am not a softball fan (neither is the hubby). Do love the Rugby, though!

I find it hilarious that all the NZ teams try to have "black" in their name..All Blacks, Black Caps, Black Sox... =)

Did you have fun coaching them? What did they think of WDW?

Thanks so much Maria. Nothing but good thoughts here as well.

I have to agree...we are quite a bunch!! We seem to just have the Disney magic all of the time!!

 

[50 years Too!]

Hi there, just reading up on WLV, we are staying there in March, can't wait. I think we are going to love it even though we are SSR DVC owners( we haven't even stayed there yet). I am 34 and my DH is 36.

Malibelle,

Thanks for sharing your wedding with us! I'd love for my daughter (someday) to have a WDW wedding. Enjoy your upcoming stay at our favorite resort.

Deb

Did you have fun coaching them? What did they think of WDW?

Funny you should ask. I did drag one of them on a adult only 3 park roller coaster/thrill ride marathon. Funny how a 20 something world class athlete had trouble keeping up with a chubby 41 year old guy in WDW...lol. He loved it but kept complaining he was tired. I teased him that I had just done this in September in 90 plus heat and served as the family pack mule pushing my son in his stroller and carrying everyones junk in the back pack. What we were doing was a breeze.

Yes I do have fun coaching them. They come over from mid June through mid August every year. They are a life loving, hard partying group besides being the best players in the world. Makes for some fun road trips.

I did forget to mention (well....it's not VWL related).....but we got our savannah view upgrade today in the mail ! I had a 1 bedroom reserved "standard" and requested a savannah. I was on the "wait list" for all of about a week. Not bad !
