The VWL Groupies & Trivia Thread

[DVC@BWV]

I was able to book a studio this morning for May 29-June 6. All I requested was upper floor - should I have put in other requests? Does anyone prefer the first floor over the upper floors? TIA!

Hi DVCBWV.....I didn't mind the ground floor except for one thing. Our last stay at VWL (Oct 2006), we had a ground floor right by the lobby----very convenient to bus stop and entry to the main WL lobby. But....we weren't thrilled with our patio. It was very overrun with branches and vegetation. Our view was of this vegetation as well as the covered wooden walkway
connecting the Villas with the main Lodge. So, iow, I've had much better views when staying at VWL.

These photos were taken while standing on the patio (no zoom used). I'd welcome anyone else's opinion on these rooms/views if they've had them (again....location/convience was good....view was blah) :

 

[DVC@BWV]

Maria,
Wow - did any creatures come out from that foliage? LOL

I'm assuming that most of the room views are going to be of the woods so there's not much to be made in the way of requests except for floor preference, or am I wrong?

A few spiders....but that's about it !

And no....some ground floors have views of walkway....flowers.....pool......I had requested an upper floor, but when we checked in early (9:45 am), they told me they had a ground floor ready right away so I took it. I would do this again to get a room so quickly. We had had a 6 am flight (had left for the airport at 3:30 am), so getting that ground floor right away was terrific. But I think I would prefer an upper floor.

I didn't want to infringe on anyone's privacy, so I stood in front of their patios and looked outward to take this photos (there was less privacy with some of these ground floor patios on the pool side) :

There was a walkway in front, then this landscaping....

A friendly Welcome to the who #3 As Muushka has already mentioned, your siggie would look so much better with a groupie moosie in it.

And lastly, WE'RE IN I called MS today and received our new membership # Just have to decide exactly when our 1st trip will be. I think marathon week sounds good!!! Now if I could just get the website to work for me.

Maria, It almost looks like you could have been camping in the great outdoors with all that lush vegetation.

Woohoo. Finally!! Great to have you finally, an official Groupie!


Today is my birthday! And I always get hard cold cash so I went last night and ordered me my favorite lamp. At JC Penny they have a Mission style (AKA WL style!) floor lamp that I have been eyeing forever. It is pricey ($300 ) but they pretty much always have it for $150. Well with the additional 15% discount and the additional $20 off, $114 with tax! Sold! Sorry, I know this isn't the budget board, but I couldn't help it!
Oh, and my husband got me a new Zune to replace the one I drowned at the VWL Jacuzzi .

 

[LVSWL]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

[blossomz]

Happy Birthday Muushka! Have a Moosey Disney Day!

It feels great to be official. I forgot about your Zune experience. Glad to see you have a new one. Hope you have a wonderful day.

Yeah, like Artist Point?

Good afternoon groupies. Happy Birthday Muushka! Congrats on being in the system Mickeymorse. Hopefully we will know that feeling soon. I had to sign a document Thursday to extend our closing date back to no later than March 7 since Disney was slow returning documents. Everything is signed, money wired so hopefully it will be early next week. Then we will just have to figure out our first trip home. The last minute April trip I was hoping for just isn't going to happen.

I don't know how she does it either. Maria's pics rock!

Thank you all Groupies, for the warm wishes.
I don't usually share personal stuff on the internet, but you all are so friendly, I just can't help myself .
