VWL Groupies & Lovers Thread (Special Collectors Edition 2.5) updated 8 February 2026

Bonus points for calling it VWL. . .

Funny that... we had to move our reservation from October to July and the other member of our party said they didn't see availability at VWL for July. I had to tell them it is now called Boulder Ridge. We will always call it VWL!!!

On further thought, could it be Hilton Head?

Thats it bluecastle!

On further thought, could it be Hilton Head?

Yes, the initials stand for Disney’s Hilton Head Island Resort, the long, formal name!

Staying at VWL on July 3 and 4.

Could not get into DHHIR in a studio at 11 months!

Surely, you aren't surprised at the no availability on those dates.

Countdown to the weekend! And, in case you missed it, tomorrow is May Day, so grab a flower crown, head outside, and dance around whatever pole you can find. Be sure to keep it PG, though, okay?

Any Groupies headed to the World, the Land, or a standalone resort?

Hi Groupies!

Just wanted to say hello, and for our Star Wars fans, May The Fourth be with you!

Hey kids remember me? LOL Been a bit. Hope everyone is doing well. Doing ok here. Had a busy Disney year last year. Went to WDW, DL and Tokyo Disney. Wow Tokyo Sea is AMAZING!!!! Plus I think our 2 weeks in Tokyo including Disney probably cost as much as our normal WDW trips lol. This year is pretty quiet. No trips. Next February though we are gonna do our WDW trip. Gonna do something I thought I'd never do again. Stay at the GF lol. My daughter really wanted to stay somewhere different and we haven't stayed there in maybe 20 years and she doesn't even remember it. Plus I really wanted to stay in one of the Mary Poppins rooms. This next trip will be a bit challenging since i have been diagnosed with osteoporosis. No more roller coasters for me sadly. Not sure yet what I can and can't do really except for the coasters and Tower of Terror. I'll make the best of it though and I'll enjoy being there.
You all take care and have a great day!

Hey DLI!
Sounds like you had a great past year!
My BIL says Tokyo Disney is the best of all parks he has been too.

I am sorry to hear you having to deal with osteoporosis. But your attitude to make the best of it is so inspiring.

We too will
Be there in Feb so hopefully we can meet if timing allows.

My Mom had osteoporosis and totally gave up. Never left the house. I am determined not to do that. I promised my daughter I will still live my life as best I can.
Oh that is awesome that you will be there in February. We will be there the 2nd through the 12th. If we are there at all the same time it would be great to see you.
Oh and Tokyo Disney is what all other parks should be.

Hi, and welcome to the VWL Groupies thread!

Good to see you again, DLI! Yeah, these doggone bodies of ours just refuse to cooperate with what we expect, right?
