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

[Granny]

Hey! We just bought here and are very excited! First time vacation club owners! Look forward to following the thread!

Am I correct that when the new villas open, we are unable to book there except at the seven-month Mark. Right?

First of all, WELCOME to the VWL Groupies thread!

And WELCOME HOME to VWL!!!

You are correct. The cabins and WL room conversions are a completely separate DVC resort and VWL owners will only be able to book them at the 7 month mark, same as any other non-home resort.

But the good news is that the new Copper Creek Villas owners won't be able to book our VWL villas until the 7 month mark either!

Thanks for stopping in!

WELCOME kmn952!

Find a stump and sit a spell!

Glad you can join us as we love to tell Lodge stories from the past, activities in The Lodge now, and discuss what our hopes and dreams are for The Lodge in the future. Once a Groupie, always a Groupie!

Sorry about the stump reference; but there just seems to be a lot of them right now.

We look forward to you looking forward to following our thread (now your thread, too, we hope)! Feel free to jump right in and share your exploits or ask questions, or you can be a lurker as we have a fair amount of those, too. Whatever your choice, we keep a list of Groupie trips, birthdays, and anniversaries on Page 1, and if you wish to add your name to any of these, please do so. It's not a requirement, however, just a fun thing we do. If you do want to be added to the trip list, PM me (along with your new Groupie fee of $50--cash ok ); if you want to get on the birthday and/or anniversary list, please PM KAT4DISNEY (I'll share the fee with her ). All kidding aside, welcome to our small corner of the Disney universe, and we hope you'll pull up a rocker (or stump) and sit a spell.

APiratesLife4Me2: Same goes for you!!

Sleepyslydog - just an FYI, but I think past fee splits have gotten lost in the mail.

Really?! I sent it via Pony Express--we have one here. Sooooo, you're not getting them, huh?

Of course - the check got lost in the mail. Why didn't I think of that?!

Those darn ponies - probably stopped at some pasture before they hit the desert.

 

[jimmytammy]

Happy Birthday @audipolo!!!!

 

[jimmytammy]

KAT I too am waiting on said checks from Sleepy, must be slow ponies(or I feel a revolt coming on)
Granny I imagine we have more lurkers than joiners. They are probably the folks who like to see how crazy we can really get around here without going over the edge(ala Thelma and Louise style)! Glad to have the lurkers too

Hmmmmm - more lost checks! That starts to seem a little suspicious, doesn't it Jimmy?!

 

[DiznyDi]

Wishing Audipolo a very Happy Birthday!

... and we have new Groupies!
So very nice to have you here!

For Groupies in the World in December for the Big Honkin' Groupie Meet - our 60 day FP window opened today See you all soon!

I am shocked, SHOCKED I tell ya! I will have to speak harshly to the Grand Horse Wrangler Poobah Postmaster! Of course, currently he's on vacation in Machu Picchu, so I'll have to get back to you on that. . .
