VWL Groupies & Lovers Thread (Special Collectors Edition 2.0) updated 21 June 2023

I've managed to change part of my December trip over to Copper Creek.

While I adore AKV, the last 5+ trips have been nothing but AKV stays. So, so happy. Should be moving resorts on my birthday.

Wow, lucky change!

Wow, lucky change!

Very, very lucky. I had them wait-listed as a set for either CC or BR (hate that name) and can't believe they came through. It's only for 3 nights, but I'll love every moment of it and will take numerous walks down the covered walkway into VWL.

I am excited to try out the CC room.

If you want to venture out to someplace interesting but inexpensive, check out YeeHaa Bob in the Riverview Roost Lounge over at Port Orleans Riverside. He has a schedule, be sure to check the dates he's there with Disney before taking the trip over... I think it's Wednesday through Saturday around 8:30pm to midnight. He performs 3 unique sets throughout the evening and is fun for any age. Bob's show tends to become a highlight memory of the trip for anyone who sees him.

I second this. Bob puts on quite the show and loves audience participation. He makes me laugh every time I see his show

Happy Friday Groupies! Our countdown is @ 8 days! I haven’t seen an update to when TOWL reopens, but I’m sure hoping for some birthday pixies dust!

I’m pretty confident it will be open by then since they made the announcement last month, but who knows!

We are staying at BLT, so I will definitely be investigating!

Hope everyone is having a good weekend and I hope we all remember the real reason behind Memorial Day. I'm so grateful to those who gave it all.

 

[Granny]

DLI...you are so right. God bless those who gave the last full measure of devotion.

Doesn't happen often, but the originally celebrated Memorial day, May 30th, is falling on the celebrated Memorial day.

I know we have a groupie with today as their birthday, not listed, and while we've all but stopped with the birthday wishes, I just want to extend one to all along with my son who I believe still reads here but stays aloof, as well as the rest of the crew I've been forgetting to check.

Interesting note from Time, kind of hard to enforce and most folk are not aware of it:

It’s legally required to observe a National Moment of Remembrance​

In December 2000, Congress passed a law requiring Americans to pause at 3 p.m. local time on Memorial Day to remember and honor the fallen. But this doesn’t appear to be common knowledge, or if it is, by 3 p.m. most people seem to be too deep into a hot dog-induced food coma to officially observe the moment.

In honor of those who have fallen:

Never to be forgotten.

 

[jimmytammy]

May we never forget those who gave the last full measure
We owe them everything!

Pete had a really good vlog out on Dis DVC fans that I watched this morning. It discussed some of the things we have spoken about on here about how Disney is making things so generic anymore. They also talked about the refurb taking so long at the VWL. It was interesting to watch and would recommend it.

It was a really good show. Hopefully DVC pays more attention to him than they have us.
