Updated with pictures pg. 2 We are Home at the VWL! For the next 11 days. WooHoo!!!

[jimmytammy]

I believe you are right! Nobody else has lights up on the 4th floor but us. We will knock and come see you folks. Holler at us if you see us on the balcony. We have the balcony next the one with lights also(not the one between us with lights)

PM me if you'd prefer, rather than replying in the thread. Thanks!

This is TammyNC (jimmytammy's wife) - If you are asking about internet log-in, we are using the high speed hook-up and then going to our normal homepage that we have at home.

If this isn't what you are asking, let me know and I'll try to answer better.

 

[bicker]

I'm wondering about this "high speed hook-up" -- I guess I didn't know that something like that was available at VWL. What are the requirements? the costs? What is provided, versus what must we bring from home? That sort of thing. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

 

[dianeschlicht]

High speed was recently added at VWL. It is the same cost as at all the other DVC's. $9-95 for a 24 hour period. We usually buy one day and skip one before connecting again. Works well for us.

 

[bicker]

Is it wireless or wired?

 

[MickeyCrazed]

It's wired. You have to bring an ethernet cable.
Or I believe you can borrow one from Mousekeeping.

 

[jimmytammy]

Hey all! Thanks for replying to Bickers ??s. Bicker, we use the cable that VWL provides. Just call Mousekeeping and they will bring it up.

We just got back from MK. It was a madhouse!! Friends from back home are leaving in a little while to head home We have really enjoyed spending time with them this past week.

AnnieT and her DH Alan have spent time with us today. They are heading back up from RF in a little bit. Always fun to spend time with fellow DIS friends. We are going to hang around the Lodge for awhile.

Saw Regis and Kelly. DS11 got so excited seeing Regis. Im like Son, you have seen Andy Griffith and didnt get that excited! Oh well.

And we met magicalmcwho in the hall this morning. DISers are such nice folks.

Eventually I will get DW to post a few pics. I am computer/electronic illeterate

 

[jimmytammy]

This is the first time of trying to insert photos. Couldn't figure out how to rotate some but wanted to post them.

Hope you enjoy.

Thanks for posting the photos! Expedition Everest was all wire and track the last time we were there last December. I can hardly wiat to ride it, and I'm hoping for a soft opening when we are there in early March!

Great to "see" you too! Maybe you will get to be on TV when they are broadcasting the parade!

 

[jimmytammy]

We will be checking out on the 9th. Sorry. It would be great to meet all the DVC/DISers we correspond with here. Maybe someday we can all have a HUGE meet. That would be fun!!

Diane

We talked with a CM at EE the other day. She told us a soft opening would be happening in March. So I will keep fingers crossed for you that it happens early in March. We will be there the last week of March.

 

[Laurabearz]

Looks like you guys are having a great time!! Thnaks for sharing the pictures.

Diane.. I am with you on soft opening of EE... We are the WDW last week in March...

Great pics. I am salivating!!!

Packing today for our trip. We leave for VWL in seven days!

We went to DQ yesterday for the 1st time ever. We really enjoyed it. The kids had a real blast. Casey was real sad to leave. Pirates was hands down fav for all, though DD had a hard time deciding between it and CyberSpace Mt.

Went to Epcot and had dinner at San Angel. Then waited for Illuminations. They have a very special extended Christmas fireworks ending. Very moving indeed.

We are heading back to Epcot in a short while, then over to MK for dinner at Liberty Tree. I think I have gained 20 lbs. since being here , but I sure am enjoying myself.

We are doing CP Wed. night. DD found out John Stamos will be doing this on the 25th-27th. Secretly, we think she has a crush on "Uncle Jesse" . Not sure and she keeps denying it.

So with this in mind, she has a request. If anyone will be at one of his CP shows, she will gladly pay for a recording of him doing this. There, the deed is done. Its out there. I have done my part. Now I wipe my hands clean of this messy situation.
