The VWL Groupies & Trivia Thread

[Granny]

By the way, I've noticed that our VWL Groupies logo is showing the dreaded red X a lot the past couple of days. If you want to "borrow" mine, it should be a little more stable as I have it housed in Photobucket.

Just sharin' the love, my friends.

Granny thanks for the list! Our actual dates are May 27 thru June 3 doing a split stay first VWL then BCV.

I have stayed at WL but this will be my first time at the villas. Any suggestions on any room requests I should make? What is the best view? Is there a good map anywhere that would help me? Guess I should add that we will be staying in a studio.

BTW I got my totem pole back in 95 and it looks a little different. Maybe it's just how it looks in the picture?

 

[Christine & family]

I'd love to get mine added!

Nov 20 - 30 VWL

I think we probably have the same totem Maria, bought about the same time.

Muushka....I was looking at the differences between ours (circa '98) and the new ones. Here's what I see is different :
1) Goofy's eyes are droopier on the new one. My Goofy has wide open eyes
2) Goofy's hatchet is more visible in the newer one---he's sort of got it tucked behind his neck on the circa '98 one.
3)Humphrey : his mouth is open on circa '98 and his hands/paws are folded in front of his chest
4) Humphrey's feet are flat on the wood on circa '98 one
I think Donald and Mickey are pretty much the same. SHeesh....only a true WL/VWL groupie would analylize stuff like the totem souvenier !

Muushka...I may have mentioned this already, but you're doing the same disney cruise we did in 2007. Only ours wasn't a double dip. Have a great time !!!

Granny...thanks so much for being the "keeper of the Groupie vacations list" ! I'm just sorry you are leaving the exact day we are arriving. I believe it was you again, that I missed getting to meet in Dec 2006. I left Dec 10, 2006 the VWL and you arrived a week or two later. One of these days.......

DS enjoying breakfast at Whispering Canyon Cafe. Love those Mickey waffles!

Love the photo Jill ! Thanks for sharing....what a cutie.........

Here are some faves of mine. My husband and daughter in the lobby after a breakfast at the Canyon.

And Amelia getting ready to rub Humphrey's nose!

Such fond memories!

Melody....love the one of your dd reaching out to touch Humphrey. Adorable.........
And Melody....looks like we're just missing eachother as well, because Aug 13 is the day we move over to Disney's Vero Beach resort and that is the day you are arriving......

Hi Groupies,

As the unpacking process continues, periodically I come across a little VWL treat purchased while at our beloved lodge. (It sure makes doing laundry a whole lot more rewarding! ) This is the one I unearthed this afternoon.

Perhaps some of you have this cute little totem pole. I think it's adorable! Looks great in the guest bedroom we are renovating to look like the Wilderness lodge. A real steal at $20, don't you think?

So sorry I missed lisaviolet while we were there. We must have walked past your room half a dozen times or more on the way to the boat dock. I hope we get to run into on another trip some time.

And Muushka, yes, this is the first place I visit everytime I turn on my computer too. Definitely a warm fuzzy place to visit.

Jill

Jill,

Too cute!
How fun to make your guest room a Wilderness Lodge Retreat.

Once my daughter is really gone, I'd like to do that. Don't know, though,
my family tends to make grown childrens' rooms shrines. My 44 year old sister and 40 year old brother's rooms are still referred to as "Doug's Room", or "Diane's Room". They still look like they did when they were in high school, minus the clothes. My room was made into an office The luck of being the oldest, I guess!

Keep digging through that luggage, I want to see more.

OH NO! That's too bad. It would have been fun to meet you.

We look forward to staying at Vero Beach one of these times, too.

BTW, I'm having fun looking through your webshots album!

Melody and Jill,

Really cute pics of your darling children enjoying the lodge!

Granny,

We will be at the lodge Oct 15-21 (F&W, just DH and me).
Dec 15-18 (DH, DD, DS, their two BF, Me)
We'll then be moving to a BWV Grand villa for 4 nights, since the
kids want "more action". Silly youth.

Well, I only have 34 more years left on my DVC contracts so we better work on that planning a bit better!

As for the "keeper of the list"...I have to admit that I'm probably messing up here and there.

I ask everyone to proof their dates and make sure I haven't misplaced you!

And sorry about combining the multi resort trips and not calling out the individual dates. Just lazy I suppose.
