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

It looks like we're buying that house in Florida. It's a brand new house, never been lived in. Is it close to WDW? Ah, it's very close. Check a map. See Bay Lake? See Reams Road just north of Bay Lake? See the housing just to the right of Reams Road? It's there. I'm really excited to get my stuff out of storage. I hate being stuck in temp housing. After all, how many Forensic Files re-runs can I watch? Fortunately, the clouds have let up a bit today and we're heading to MK after my work. We're hitting DHS tomorrow.

Sounds great! I'm sure you're excited, and best wishes the days ahead will be filled with fun (to go with all that moving you have to do!).

That's awesome! You'll probably be looking at the "back side" of the Happily Ever After fireworks! I'm hoping that your purchase and move-in go smoothly.

Next groupie meet to watch fireworks from WD's back yard!!

Congrats on finding a house @wildernessDad !!!

Still living it up at VWL (BRV) and we have a couple more days. As of 2 days ago, we are officially in the market for a 100 or so point contract here. There is one currently available from DVC Resale (109 pts at $85 a pt) that I hope survives a few more days until we are home. This will be our very first DVC contract!

 

[ArielSRL]

Well Groupies - as some of you may know - like Jimmy and Tammy - we're expecting our first Grand (it's a princess for us)...she came yesterday - a little early but strong and healthy - 7lbs - Amelia Leigh - grandpa Jerry and I are just over the moon already with her!

Congrats!!

hmmm. maybe my question was too vague -- I'm assuming the "new pool" will NOT be open yet? how about quick service by the other pool? with only 1 pool open does it get ridiculously crowded?

I'm here this week. We have been to the pool a few times (around 3ish) and it hasn't been too bad. We have gotten a table most times or else some chairs. It has been raining or cloudy quite a bit though. Today has been very sunny and hot and it was the busiest day by far. We still got a table in the splash pad area though.

We are headed back to MK after our dinner at WCC. Then DHS tomorrow, as well!

How did you like it there? My son wants to stay at VWL next year since he liked the location of the Lodge proper. I'd go ahead and send in an email to them now for an offer because resale contracts go fast!

I love the theming and the location is very nice! We love the boat and it will be even nicer once all the construction is complete.

I looked for an email and didn't see one. All I saw was a phone number. I guess I could just reply. This particular contract has been in the last two emails to me so I was hoping it wouldn't be snatched up. I'll have to reply this evening.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome-backs, as well as the Moose and Pixie Dust!
Congrats to you wildernessdad that is very exciting!

DiznyDi.....the job is good. Just as busy as the delivery room in PA! I work in Daytona Beach.....the babies keep coming! I have left from work a couple times to meet friends in WDW and it's under an hour drive. One night I made it in 45 minutes

I'm biased, but I say go for it! You'll likely end up wanting more, but certainly this one sounds attainable.

Catching up after a few days away...

Wildernessdad, you are living my dream. I grew up in Florida and part of me wants to return someday. I could probably only hope to be a part timer someday. DH is a born and bred Bama boy, family business here, and even my parents live here now. Don't think we'll ever leave.

Maria, sorry about the delay in being together with your family. Maybe you can wander over and resort hop for a Disney fix. I keep saying that one of these days I'm going to spend a week at Disney with no tickets and just enjoy all the other stuff that Disney has to offer. Of course the kids will probably have to be gone for that to happen.

TCRAIG, congrats on the grand princess!

 

[Corinne]

Thank you for all the birthday wishes!!!

TCraig - Congratulations!!!!!
Maria - It's good to see you here! Fingers crossed and for a quick sale!!!!

WDad - your new house sounds great, hope your house sells quick--have fun at MK after work! That sounds divine!

Who's the broker?

 

[Lakegirl]

Our countdown is 69 days can't wait!! We booked VWL for April as well. I am super excited for that!!! Everything should be all settled by then!

Here's some Moose Dust coming your way for that new contract! I assume your visit to VWL is going pretty well if you're looking to buy a DVC contract there! Good luck!!!

Wow thats really close! We take Reams Rd to go to a Publix very close by. We actually started going there from BLT and VWL as its a little closer than the Winn Dixie I mentioned.
Hope it all goes smooth for you WD!
