Stopping by to say, hello! Our VWL contract just passed ROFR on Monday. With the tragedy that day, I couldn't celebrate. I am very excited now, though! It is such a beautiful resort! We are very, very happy.

I hope that all of my fellow groupies are doing well. My thoughts are with those affected by the marathon bombers. Great job by law enforcement to quickly handle the situation.

20 days until Kidani. It should be fun.

Hugs to all.

Congrats and welcome home! Grab a beverage, pull up a rocker, and sit a spell. VWL is a wonderful "second" home.

Thank you to everyone for the warm welcome! I am already planning our first trip "home" next June. A beverage and a rocking chair sound like heaven...Don't mind if I do.

WELCOME HOME!!!! How exciting! Tell us about your trip planning!

We are looking at an add on at VWL, and thought that we would wait until next year, but I actually think I am calling my DVC rep tomorrow to have them add us to the wait list! We are thrilled!

I have no patience, but so what - might as well live while you can

Hi everyone

Just popping in to say hello as I haven't posted on this wonderful thread for a while!

I am counting down the days until we check in at the Lodge. I've just got back from DL and spent some time checking out the Grand Californian and all it did was make me want to go back to the Lodge even more!

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend

Lx

If you get on the wait lost now please report back how long it takes to fill it. I had planned to EVENTUALLY add on more, but with the wait list I'm wondering if I should just do it now. Lol!

Congratulations on your VWL contract! Lots of friendly, knowledgeable folks here. Questions? Ask away! In the meantime, pull up a rocker and sit a while, let your thoughts drift to the Lodge and let the serenity fill your soul.

Just to let you and Kathym know, luv and I are on the waitlist and have been for over six weeks with very little movement. Apparently, direct contracts for VWL are not easy to come by and moreso if you want a particular UY (which we do just to make it easier to consolidate our points). VWL resales are a little easier to come by, but the ones we saw were far more points than we want, so we opted to go with Disney instead. We're hoping DVC will ROFR a huge VWL contract and split the points up to take care of the list! (not holding our collective breath)

DisneyDiana: The moose siggie looks good on you!

I definitely will!

I agree! This is the nicest most welcoming group of people on the Dis, hands down!

That's where we were at Sleepy, you all know I was stalking the resales for a bit, and I just got the feeling that for the amount of points we were comfortable with (50 - 100 at the MOST) it would take a looooong time to find the right one. And I know I have told everyone, I am impatient and impulsive. I'm jumping!

And I am OK with waiting a bit once we are on the waitlist, I talked to Mark and he told me that ther are about 50 people in front of me in line, but getting on the WL at the very least locks in the rates now. I don't need another 30% markup sneaking up on me before I make a decision

Make sure to let us know when yours finally comes through and it will be endless shakes at Whispering Canyon on me for everyone!!!
