VWL Groupies & Lovers Thread (Special Collectors Edition 2.5) updated 2 February 2025

My apologies. Do we have Broncos & Bengals fans here? Bengals aren't on our schedule & the Broncos I'll pay attention to when the time comes.

I'm not aware of either fan on this particular board, but out of a sense of fairness, I had to include both Denver and Cincy. I'm not a huge fan of professional sports (nor most college sports, either, unless it involves one of the Service academies), but I do profess to being a fan of both Tom Brady and Peyton Manning (and to a lesser degree, Aaron Rodgers). Sorry, JT, no Cam for me!

A check in to see what our lodge is up to now that construction was to have begun. And... what's this I see?
... Pro Football? Folks! Moose don't play football. Well, not that I know of anyway, who knows what they do in the woods when there are no cell phones around to catch them doing what they do.

By the way, Clemson, 8-0 Just putting that out there.

They shed their antlers and grow new ones; just like The Lodge!

Sleepy, I agree with you, Brady, Rodgers and to a lesser extent, Manning(never was overly impressed with him, but his #s beg to differ). Cam is very athletic, but his QB prowess has not been there so much. This season, he is starting to rely less on athlete and more on smarts to get the job done, but he still scares me when he lets the long ball go and he takes off for the run. The D is more impressive to me, the front line, linebacking core and a few bright spots in the backfield are honestly what keeps the team in the games. The running game once they get going is a bright spot, smash mouth football is there thing

32 days until vacation and 38 days until I walk into our beautiful Lodge!!!!! I'll try to get pics of the construction, but I mostly want to avoid it if at all possible.

I've been meaning to post this link to another thread on the DIS; however, I keep forgetting. It has a few shots of the start of construction at the Lodge.

Obviously, Cam is doing something right. I just wasn't enamored of his, shall we say, style in either college or the pros. I'm old school where when you do what you get paid to do, you don't get all showy and flashy. Make a sack? Great. Get set for the next play. Make a catch for a first down? Great, don't point as if no one expected you to catch the ball. I like the guys who show up, play hard, and act as if they've been there before. That automatically excludes 90% of players from the pros and colleges. That's why I like the service academies when they play. There is some minor hot-dogging from time to time, but mostly they smash you (even when losing by 30 points) and come back for more. Teamwork.

Go Vikings!

We are back from another great trip! First 3 nights at PVB and last 4 at BLT. We did take a trip over to check out VWL on the 30th and the only thing that was happening at that point was the construction fences were up. People will still cavorting in Hidden Springs and sitting on the beach.

Does anybody here know what is going on close to Epcot where all the trees have been removed and ground leveled? Actually we saw several locations around the world that this was going on.

Was it possibly the East Coast Bah Humbug infestation?

Sorry Kathy...we'll have to agree to disagree on this one. At least for this week.

Probably hard to avoid completely:

Haha - could be Sleepy!

Ah yes - fair enough!

At the Villas now, no construction noise that we've heard. We were given a gift set of Disney pins. On the cover, reads "Parden our Pixie Dust" and inside 3 special keepsake pins. Mickey, Chip and Dale, and Pluto in construction attire. Very cute, unexpected, but greatly appreciated!

I'd post a picture, but don't yet know how. lol

George....welcome to the VWL Groupies thread!

Great that they are doing a little something extra for you. And now that you've put it on the internet, everyone will be expecting at least that much when they check in.

Thanks for taking the time to provide the update. And have a great trip!

Hope you have a wonderful trip. Appreciate any updates on construction you can provide.

We are heading down on Saturday and spending the night at AoA and checking into VWL on Sunday. I am hoping they wait until Monday to close the pool and beach. I will post photos if there are any changes.

Sorry, but the pool and beach are already closed.
