The VWL Groupies & Trivia Thread

[LVSWL]

Hi everyone! We added a small BCV (gasp!) contract through Disney long after it was sold out. We were just trying to even up our points so that years from now they would be even to split between the boys .
Muushka-I used a sage green a few weeks ago on my kitchen, actually it was called sage sweater. No more wall paper for me!! Congrats on finishing your job.
We are still waiting on our waitlist for a 2bdrm so we can take friends at Christmas, but if not we are going and will take them in the summer. They were here this weekend and we bombarded them with all of our saved travel channel shows about the Lodge and WDW. They were so excited. My friend's DH's father provided the rock that is around Magic Kingdom years ago when they first built. He has always wanted to go to see it. Can't wait to show them the lodge.
Island Mouse-Congrats! We got engaged in Hawaii, actually Kauai.

Good Monday Groupies.

LVSWL, we are a forgiving bunch here. Especially one with a name like yours.

IM, I wish we would have had our wedding at Disney instead of just a Disneymoon. My Italian FIL wouldn't have gone for that though.

Hello everyone,

Sorry I haven't been checking in but it has been a tough couple of weeks. my father had a mild stroke and is now living with us for the time being.. he is doing wonderfully with just some speech issues but not well enough to live on him own. We did have to cancel our May trip though but I could NEVER travel without the constant worry..

Now for the good that came out of all this... Are you ready ???

I called MS to cancel the trip knowing that a boat load of points would be going into holding soooo very sad..

The CM on the other end said... "Today is a magic day so lets make some dreams come true for you..... shall we " I was at a lose for words... Huh

Long story short... she restored ALL of my 2007 points and then banked them into 2008..

I cried.... like a baby

 

[Budahman]

Oh yea, although not a dVC owner at WLV - I really like it there, so defintely consider me a gropuie. LOL
I need to go find me a Moose now for my signature.

 

[blossomz]

Keliblue. Sorry about your trip, but I know the feeling only too well! That is so great the the DVC team spread a little pixie dust your way! I know what a relief that must be that not only did you have to cancel...but to lose your points too...No wonder we love our DVC!

 

[eliza61]

Kelliblue,
Prayers, hugs & lots of pixie dust heading out your way. Kudos to that wonderful cm

 

[wildernessDad]

keliblue, sorry to hear about your Dad. I am glad that you were able to get your points back and banked. That was nice of MS to do for you.

 

[mickeymorse]

keliblue, sorry to hear about your dad. Hope all goes well. Glad to hear that MS came through for you and you get to take that trip later.

 

[MiaSRN62]

Keliblue....
So sorry to hear about your father. Prayers and hugs going out to the family for his quick and full recovery.

So nice of MS to restore your points. We had a situation in May 2004---had to cancel a trip to DIsney's HH. My mil took a sudden downward turn from the cancer she had been fighting for 2 years and had to go on hospice (came to stay with us). MS did not restore the points. They went into holding despite my explaining the situation. So you were really blessed to get a caring CM. I hope your dad recovers soon and you all get to go on your trip in the near future. My thoughts are with you.

 

[Muushka]

Maria, I am sorry about your MIL. I hope Hospice is everything you wish for. It must be very difficult for you now.

Keliblue, I hope your father recovers quickly

LVSWL, I love BCV! Great buy! I hope you get to make those plans for someone who was personally involved with MK!!

Budahman, snag my Moosie!! He will look great on you!

Thanks for the bump, JT!

Hi Groupies,

I just got back a few hours ago, and first thing I did after wading through all the emails was come to my favorite thread.

So much has gone on in the last week. Welcome to the new groupies, glad when we expand.

Keliblue, so sorry to hear about your father, I hope he makes a speedy recovery. Bless that wonderful CM.

Eliza, that kid of yours, he's going to be the next Donald Trump!

That globe looks so great Blossomz!

Islandmouse, that wedding is going to be here before you know it.

Muushka, can we see pictures of your bathroom? Would love to see it.

I really enjoyed getting together with my old friends from college. A girl's trip is the best! We didn't get a chance to see the lodge this trip.
I so wish we would have stayed there. Being close to Epcot was great, but BCV (no flames) just isn't home.

The Flower and Garden show was really cute. I especially liked the seed/pod animals in China that depicted the "Year of". I took very few pictures, but will try to post some of these later. Saw Peter Noonen and the Herman's Hermits.
He looked so good and vibrant. And not that fake look like some band revivals. I forgot they had a lot more hits than just Henry the 8th. Was really an enjoyable time.

Weather was warm with no rain. (April 8-11).

I was able to stay with one of the women I vacationed with at her home in Ft. Lauderdale over the weekend. What a life! She lives on a canal and has a boat parked in her backyard. I was treated to a very fun cruise.

I hope the weather gets warmer for Eliza's trip. It was very cold when I flew back out of Orlando this morning. But, hey, cold in WDW is better than warm anywhere else.

Gotta hit the laundry and clean up after my housekeeping challenged husband.

Deb

Island Mouse-Congrats! We got engaged in Hawaii, actually Kauai.

Thanks!! I haven't made it to Kauai yet, but hope to one of these days. I proposed to my fiance on the balcony of our savannah view room at the AKL.

IM, I wish we would have had our wedding at Disney instead of just a Disneymoon. My Italian FIL wouldn't have gone for that though.

Fortunately for us, both of our families love Disney so everyone is excited to come to the wedding.

 

[Budahman]

Thank you all for the welcome & I am PROUD to be a VWL groupie. Look forward to many stays there and maybe even running into some of you there. I'm always up for a new friend meet.
Oh, btw, I added the Moose tag in my signature too. Whoohoo!!

 

[lisaviolet]

Kelliblue,

I'm sorry to hear about everything your family has been going through. All the best to you,

Lisa

 

[Muushka]

Welcome home Deb! Glad you had a good time.

Can you believe I saw Herman and his Hermits 40 years ago!!
YIKES I AM OLDER THAN DIRT!!!
What does that make poor Herman????

I think I left my battery charger at VWL last dec, the one for the camera. But I will happily takes pictures of my beautiful bathroom! (if I can get a battery that will work). I sat my Minnie/Mickey plant holders over by the tree in the corner of the outside of the tub. Only my Groupies would understand this arrangement. f I ever sell, I will have to move a lot of stuff to storage!!!

 

[lisaviolet]

Thank you all for the welcome & I am PROUD to be a VWL groupie.

Yes, it's great to be a groupie.
