The VWL Groupies & Trivia Thread

[jimmytammy]

We did this twice our last trip and it didnt turn out being a big issue for us. It was our 1st time using the machines while staying in a studio. No one else used them either time. Only downside is it takes away some time from doing other things. It is nice not having Mousekeeping knocking at your door everyday

Glad to see you got your snowglobe.

Hey there Groupies!

Happy to report that two weeks after having my snowglobe shipped from the Wilderness Lodge, it has arrived safely on my porch. It looks great in its new home. It is such a nice reminder of our other home.

WildernessDad,

Hopefully this means that your snowglobe will be reaching you any day now.
Jill

Woo hoo! Thanks for the info!

Hey Jill,
I've never done the studios but I'm going to hazard a guess and say I would probably miss them. We are now so use to throwing in a load on our way out the door, it's become as rountine as checking for our park passes. Usually we go late summer time, because of the heat and swimming we can take 2 or some times 3 showers a day each. The washer/dryer comes in handy for always having clean towels.
We're a bit weird also, we actually like not having mousekeeping every day. I'm one of those crazy people that will pick things up and straighten up the bed before the maid comes. Go figure

I do this as well eliza ! My husband always tries and stops me.....

I am having a hard time with all of this discussion about Lodge snowglobes! I'm trying hard not to call merchandising to order one...I may have to give in!!

Resistance is futile! I say, given 'em a call. It is a super nice snowglobe for $40.

Eliza,

Sounds like you and I are birds of a feather. I didn't leave the villa in the morning until all the beds were made and everything else looked tidy. Wasn't too hard to accomplish. Wanted everything to look nice when we returned all tuckered out later in the day.

Thanks for your response.

Oh great!! Thanks for the support!! Well...I did it!!! It's on its way and will be here in 10-15 business days!! Woo hoo! I have the official globe of the moose groupies!!!

 

[wildernessDad]

We got the snowglobe today! Too bad that I have to work late tonight. Oh well, I get to rub Humphrey's nose tonight! (On the globe, of course.)

Yeah, WildernessDad. Glad to hear your snowglobe found its new home. Funny you should mention that you look forward to rubbing Humphrey's nose. That's the very first thing my 8-year-old son did after it was pulled out of the box. I thought it was cool that he remembered rubbing Humphrey's nose at the Lodge!

You won't regret it! It is one super cool snowglobe. (And they say that only teenagers cave to peer pressure. ) Just kidding! You're going to love that official groupies snowglobe! We sure are tickled with ours.

Did you call the Mercantile directly, or the general Disney merchandise number?

 

[blossomz]

I'm all giddy with excitement! (It takes so little when it comes to WL!) I called the merchandise number, told her what I wanted..she called the mercantile and now its on its way to me! I figured even if I decided to get it while I was down in April I'd end up having it sent home! So this way it should get here just before we leave!

I'm looking forward to my 4th trip to WLV in 5/09 and don't think I can wait to get the snow globe til then. I saw it on my first trip and didn't buy it but boy can I remember it. Curse my frugalness. Tax money coming I must have it. Do you have the number to call handy? TIA

There is a light in the snowglobe which lights up Wilderness Lodge. It uses two AA batteries and they are easy to install. It's pretty darn cool, I think.

 

[cheer4bison]

Here's the back of the snowglobe, in case anyone what wondering what it looked like. Sorry the photo is blurry, I was trying to avoid using the flash.

Happy weekend Groupies!

I see that our thread has dropped to page two on the mousecellaneous page, and that simply will not do, so here are some lovely wildflowers from the lodge a few weeks ago. I have to say the gardens all over Disney this March were stunning. Really made it hard to come back to cold, barren NJ this time of year.

Although the bulbs are starting to come up in the yard so we are beginning to see some subtle signs of spring.
