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

[Muushka]

We had another fun time talking about our upcoming 2013 trip to the World tonight at dinner. My kids asked again where we were staying and my DH was like....well, she doesn't want to stay at VWL. My youngest DD said...Mom, come on, let's stay there. I said....we just have to wait and see what we can get at 7 months.

I hope I can book VWL and surprise them all!!!!!

Hope it happens!

Maria, The Duck Whisperer. Too funny! Where is Dory these days??

 

[MiaSRN62]

Glad you all enjoyed my little "blast from the past"....and JT, you are hired !!!! Though they are quite agreeable particularly at night.

Muushka...I was wondering about Dory too Hope she is well.....anyone see posts from her lately on any board ?

I checked and those dates are available for studios. So Davids is correct. I have a feeling the 7 mos window wont close up VWL. With all the inventory of places to stay, VWL isnt as hard to get as it used to be.

Thank you! I hope you are right! That makes me feel better!

Here is a fun topic..... for all of you experienced lodge lovers -- when packing for a week at the lodge and the parks, what are the items you MUST bring?

 

[tea pot]

and boy are they beautiful. New Hampshire you know the "Live Free or Die" state. Hey guys don't blame me it's on their licensed plates. Home of Moose and Bears.
No early morning walks around that lodge.... a bear was on the pool patio one of the mornings we were there.
He left early though must of forgot his sunblock.

Gone a week and now 10 Day days behind...
Caught up on the first 5

Tea Pot ~ Sorry your dh won't be able to go on your trip! We will be at the Lodge at the same time! Groupie (and fellow MA resident!) Meet

Yes yes yes.... Would love to meet up

Hey Muush,
Thanks for asking. The old guy is doing well, getting most of his strength back but unfortunately he needs a bone marrow transplant so we're kinda of in a "holding" pattern. most matches come from siblings, his one brother is deceased and his sister is a "half match". so we're on the national registry.
Until then he has transfusions.
.

Happy Thoughts and Prayers coming your way
sending you and the old guy some groupie love

WOW - Mr. Teapot is really a hard worker. Last time we met up in The World, he needed to dedicate a few days to ongoing work. I can understand dedication, but wow; and he takes it in stride so well! I need him on my staff, so I can give him time off!

Just a good example of "Building the Empire"!

Thanks Dad this post makes me think of
Jack Benny you know "Take my wife (oops DH ) Please"
seriously I really miss him being full time in the world when he's in "The World"

Happy Birthday deebits

Like the sign, but seriously... I look at these shows and ask "Why?"
I was hoping for more landscaping that looks like WL, maybe a shed that resembles WL that can be repurposed later as the kids grow up and no longer play in it.
I grew up with a trailer always in the backyard - my opinion: they're an eyesore when not in a campground. Good luck to that family as they look to ditch the props in 5 years

BLT visitors, I have a question!

My dear nephew is going to the world in Oct and we got BLT for him!!

When we stayed there, we had lake view, really high up, in the center of the curve and loved it.
Is that a good view to request for him? You know me, I don't get into the view thing, especially if it is not my home resort, but it is my nephew and his first time with his family and I want it to be perfect for him and his wife and kiddos! We got him a 1 BR if that helps. Any suggestions, Maria comes to mind!!

 

[Snoopygirl]

Thanks so much for checking on the dates for me!!! Getting so excited and I can't wait for October to come so I can try and book it!!!

 

[jimmytammy]

Thanks twokats for checking on the DVC site. Missed being on last night. Somebody has to watch out for me

LOL Twinkle! I have to admit I DVR this series, (I'm a Disney addict, what can I say?). But to be honest, I have never even watched one episode in its entirety. I like to see the images of WDW or DL, and in this case, the Lodge. The show isn't the greatest, I agree. But they do bring joy to some families, that's for sure!

You are welcome. We make a pretty good team watching out for each other.

 

[bagsmom]

Well, gang -- we are one step closer! David's said I'm now at the top of the waiting list!!!!!! Yay!

It's still no guarantee that we'll be able to get in there, but we are getting closer!

Hooray!

Pixie dust David's pulls through for your bagsmom!

Nice to have you back tea pot! We've not been to NH, but would certainly like to get there someday. On the bucket list when visiting the east coast.

Can't help you Muush with your question about BLT. We'll be staying 'lake view' for 1 night in December though.

Enjoy your day Groupies!

Happy Wednesday To You Folks, hope everybody has a great day!!

Thanks Di. BLT in Dec? How fun is that???? I found a thread that has tons of info on it so I'm all set.
Is this your first visit there? I'll be interested to see how you liked it.

Hi Muushka ! Great job securing BLT for your nephew !!!! The inner circle face the courtyard and pool---you can also see the lake in the background. Those inner circle rooms are all "odd numbered" rooms. If you prefer to not have courtyard/pool view, you can request "even numbered" room. That faces the Seven Seas lagoon/lake. More of a nature view vs a "people watcher" view ? We requested an even numbered room this past October but when we checked in after getting off the Magic (and during a major storm), they told us an inner circle/odd numbered room was available. We took it and were not disappointed at all.

Here's a couple photos from that BAD weather day :
