VWL Groupies...yes, we love the Lodge!!

[Muushka]

Hi Groupies !
Just a quick drive by to say 'hi' to all of you from Aulani! This resort is beyond description; wonderful, fantastic, beautiful. The Hawaiian history represented in all aspects of the resort is a testimony to Disney and Hawaiian heritage. My hope for each of you is that you someday have the opportunity to experience this exceptional place.

We're here for a few more days. I'll check in with you once we're back home.

Aloha, my friends!

Sounds wonderful Diane. We can't wait to hear all about it.

No worries, lots and lots I promise!

Does anyone know when the water parade starts?

9:25 at WL if I remember correctly.

First, some free music! Anyone else love Celtic music? Well Amazon has a pretty nice playlist for free!

Thanks Barb. My wife loves Celtic music.

Anyone sign up for the webcast from DVC? They sent out a cool preview today of the lobby of the Villas at WL.

Not sure if this link will work if you are not signed up but I will post just in case.

Thanks for sharing this Barb! I love this kind of music. We have a restaurant in Greensboro, McCouls that plays this music. It is an ecletic type place, very Irish pubby looking and food is amazing!

BTW, Craig Duncan that is listed on a couple songs, is from our hometown. I know his parents, we have done work on their home several times. They told me he plays all the instruments himself and he is self taught. I think he may have gone to college to further his studies, but def. has God given talents.

Wow! You actually have one of the performers in your town!

That restaurant sounds like a great place. Do they have live performances?
Maybe one of these days when we go see the fam, we could do a meet there for our 'on the way home' meal.

Honestly, we are staying at VWL to make me and my husband happy -- I know my kids are enthralled with the idea of the value theming. It sure does look like lots of fun!

My DS was 5 when we stayed at VWL last time and he loved it. When I asked him where we should stay for this last trip, he wanted to stay there again. He loved the pool there. Really I think kids are happy most anywhere when they are young. It's all new and exciting to them. DS loved OKW this last trip and wants to go there again too.

Snowy Saturday here today. My baby brother is turning 30 today and we are having a surprise party for him. I'm excited!

I wanted to thank you all for the prayers again for myself and my work family since the death of our co-worker/family member. I'm asking for some prayers again, as the mother of this co-worker has just passed. She was my great great Aunt and was a wonderful woman. She lived a long, happy life with hardships but faced them with grace and dignity. She is being laid to rest today.

Hope everyone enjoys their weekend!

Hi Groupies,

It's me, the "fair weather" Groupie who shows up once hockey season winds down

I posted on the transporation board, but thought I would ask here too.

I was on he SW site and plugged in our departure dates and saw some great fares on flights operated by Airtran. It doesn't mention there are bag fees or seat assignment fees.

In fact, since it is the SW site, it says:

"1st and 2nd Checked Bags Fly Free.
Weight and size limits apply. Bag Charge$0.00 "

Will the charges appear once I purchase the tickets?

Help please!

Inkmahm...let us know how that Vonage thing works out. We were thinking of doing away with our land line telephone since we mostly get solicitation calls on it these days. But I don't think I'm ready to go 100% cellular so any way to cut down costs is welcome.

We bought new phones (since our old cordless phones needed to be replaced anyway) and Dynaguy tried to install Vonage earlier in Feb. Then we were gone for a week visiting my sister and he hasn't tried again since we got home. I think he said he is going to try again or we'll wait until one of our nieces is home from college in a couple weeks and see if she can get it to work. In other words, it isn't as easy as Vonage says it is to install!

 

[Inkmahm]

Ink
You got me intrigued on Vonage. Google their reviews, it may be enlightening.

Thanks for the hint! I just read your comment to Dynaguy so he is off to do more research.

I saw this also. Do you think the new incentives have anything to do with VWL? Or whatever the webcast is supposed to be about? Like running a "direct purchase" VWL special? (If they knock it down to $80 a point that might just push me over...love me some Wilderness Lodge!)

With AirTran you have to pay for bags. I think it's $20 for the first and $25 for the second. If you want to choose your seat you have to pay. I wanted to make sure we got seats together and it was $7 each.

Craig lives in Nashville now, has been there for several years, but his parents still live in Burlington.

I dont think they have live music but it would be fun to meet there for sure. If you want to check out the menu, its www.mccoulspub.com

Can you feel the love tonight?
