Hello groupies. It's been ages since I have been on the DISboards. All it took was some research on an upcoming trip to send me down memory lane. It's been 2 years since we last stayed at VWL. Can't get used to BRV just yet. Brought good friends with us on that one to share our Wilderness Lodge love with. They really loved it too. Hope I have found everyone well. We have a single night stay at home on Feb 8th post cruise. Just needed to have a little taste of it. The 3 nights before our cruise weren't available so we are venturing over to SSR for our 1st time. Loved trying out some of the other resorts and some don't appeal to us at all. But if you were ever to ask my daughter where she wants to stay, she's disappointed if its not VWL. Now to go skim through and see some pictures. Need a little VWL time.....
Welcome back! And a big welcome to a few others I see who haven't posted a lot lately, either. Life just gets in the way, doesn't it? Anyway,
mickeymorse, you will not get an argument from anyone on here whom I know relating to saying VWL vice that other designation. In particular, I almost always call it VWL unless it's someone new who might not know of what I speak. Even then, I usually type "VWL (now known as BRV)" to show my affection for the clearly superior name. At least they didn't rename it, Reflections.
Only two days of teaching this week, though it's not like the students will pay much attention what with Thanksgiving around the corner. A little colder than normal this time of year, as it has been the past month, truly, so perhaps that will mean a little warmer trend later in winter. One can hope, right?
Speaking of Thanksgiving, and seeing whereas we haven't played any games on here in some time (trivia or otherwise), here's one that struck me.
Name one (or two or three) food that absolutely, positively has to be on your Thanksgiving menu every year (beyond turkey). I'm thinking the items that have been or been made part of your family tradition over the years.
For me, it's two items. First, my wife grew up with bread stuffing. I grew up with cornbread dressing. For our first Thanksgiving, I made her cornbread dressing, and it's been on the menu ever since. Meanwhile, she always made fresh cranberry relish--my family always had the canned stuff. You know, you open the can, slide it onto the plate, and you have a wrinkled log of cranberry, well, jam.
Luv always makes hers with fresh cranberries, and ever since she did it the first time, I've wanted them each year since. There are others, but these two stick out to me as we each brought something from our previous lives to our union.
. I found it very interesting and entertaining. I saw a ton of footage I had never seen before. I think I am going to be a big fan of Disney Plus.
