Oops, sorry Eliza, I guess I just saw the BCV in my quick scan.
Lucky you. I'm looking forward to your funny commentaries about your trip!
Probably not as much material without the boys!

Trivia Question: Who was the voice of Boris and for which attraction at Disneyland/Walt Disney World is he the "host?"

 

[Muushka]

Thanks everyone for the reports and picture of the flora and fauna at our lodge.
I'll be looking for the cat. Shall we name him?

Deb

Man oh man I wish I had thought of that! I LOVE cats! What can we name the feline love-muffin??

You can add us for Oct 1-10 2008 it is our first trip home as VWL DVC Owners and also our 17th Anniversary!!

Happy Anniversary!

I hope you have a great cruise. First DCL? Trip report on the Groupie thread, please!!

Trivia Question: Who was the voice of Boris and for which attraction at Disneyland/Walt Disney World is he the "host?"

Wow, great trivia. I had to IMDB for the name, but am stumped at the host duties. But my brain is fried after a day at work.

 

[Granny]

Trivia Question: Who was the voice of Boris and for which attraction at Disneyland/Walt Disney World is he the "host?"

The legendary Paul Frees....and the Haunted Mansion of course!! I'm pretty sure his voice is elsewhere at WDW too? One of the oldies like Country Bear Jamboree or Pirates of the Caribbean?

 

[jimmytammy]

I got the greatest job in the world(at least today it seemed that way)

We were tearing out a huge porch on a group home yesterday and today and began putting it back together today. Anyway, the boards we are cutting for the flooring smell just like our wonderful "home". You know that smell as you approach the lobby area of the villas. Ahhhhhhhhh.

All day I just breathed in that great smell, and while I was physically at work, my mind was at "home"

 

[wildernessDad]

You are correct, sir!

 

[MiaSRN62]

Maria, that was a most beautiful butterfly. Breathtaking!

Thanks Muushka !

Who#3....no, haven't seen the black and white cat ? I know there are a couple stray cats at the Poly---I've seen those twice now. I'll keep an eye out for "love-muffin" !

You can add us for Oct 1-10 2008 it is our first trip home as VWL DVC Owners and also our 17th Anniversary!!

Congrats and happy anniversary WDWRR_ENGINEER !

I'm jealous Mike !!! Have a great time !!!


WildernessDad.......thanks for the trivia ! I love stuff like that. And I had no idea.... so learn something every day.

All day I just breathed in that great smell, and while I was physically at work, my mind was at "home"

Ok Jimmytammy.....you need to get back to the Lodge STAT !!!!

 

[wildernessDad]

Trivia Question: What connection exists between the cast of The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show and the Disney movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

 

[cheer4bison]

Good morning Groupies,

Have any of you taken the two-hour fishing expedition that takes off from the back of the Wilderness Lodge? Our son had never been fishing before, but the guide took him and my husband to the best places on Bay Lake to find big-mouth bass. They caught ten fish in less than two hours. (It's catch and release fishing.) Had a great time. We'd recommend the experience.

 

[50 years Too!]

Jill,

That fish is almost as big as your son. He looks so proud!
Perfect activity for kids his age. If I had a little one, I'd
do it in a heartbeat.
One of the reasons I bought DVC was with the hopes of
grandchildren in ten years or so. Hope they are still
doing the fishing expedition in 15 years!

Deb

 

[Muushka]

Awwww Jill, your little guy is so cute. That is one great Kodak moment! Nope, we never fished there.

 

[blossomz]

My son who is now 17 has done it twice! He loves it and would do it again! d The guides are great and nothing beats that feeling of success! I too recommend it highly!

i am just dying to get res at vwl for cristmas...
at this time i don't have enough pts at vwl to res before 7 mo. and my larger contract for more pts will not be closed until aprox may 10. but they tell me that there are not 2brs available anyway. we are res for akv (which i love)but prefer the vwl for christmas with the grandchildren. they love that fast boat ride to mk.

just hoping the 7 mo will be a good open window. this will be our 1st time to spend christmas at wdw. can't wait. we did new years last year and it was just great.

i love the name love muffin. i guess the cat can be a vwl groupie kitty. he is beautiful prrrrrr.

 

[wildernessDad]

There is talk on a thread on the operations board about whether VWL will lose its value once KT comes up for sale.

I personally don't think so because VWL is a great place and it's a small place relatively speaking.

I didn't mention that I don't like hospital stays too much. Contemporary reminds me of a hospital. That probably wouldn't have gone over too well.
