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

[Williamjdisney]

The bus stop for both the WL rooms and the Villas sits in between the two, and in neither case is the walk long. Though some complain that the rooms at the far end of the halls in the Villas are a haul, they are nothing compared to many other resorts. Still, your in-laws might want to request a room closer to the elevators. From the elevators, it's just steps to the lobby doors leading out to the walkway, and then the stroll to the bus stop is slightly more than one minute at a moderate pace, perhaps two minutes if taken at a leisurely pace. The boat dock is farther away as you must either walk through the lobby of the main Lodge building or our preferred way which is to go through the back doors of the Villas lobby, cut through the Hidden Springs pool area (that's the pool located at the Villas), then skirt around the main Lodge pool, by the geyser, and then on to the docks. The docks sit more or less opposite the far left wing of the Wilderness Lodge proper. Even so, I'd estimate that the walk to the docks from the Villas is less than five minutes. I'm certain your in-laws will enjoy VWL, as it is the most intimate and quiet of all the DVC resorts.

Thanks for the information! If I could only figure out how you all get more than one quote into a message....

I really appreciate how you all share insight, pictures, and advice.

You got it. Let us know when she is on good ol US soil.

Sure will! Thanks so much!!

 

[jimmytammy]

Thanks for the warm welcome and information. It is so hard to judge distance on maps issued by Disney. The in-laws are so excited about the trip and the theme of the property.

You are welcome here anytime, and consider yourself an official groupie now.

WL and VWL theming is too the max, but in a good way. We are partial to it here, but WL is def. at the top where theming is concerned for a Disney resort.

Good thoughts and pixie dust to Tammy.

Welcome to our new groupie! As we say round here...grab a moose and join in the fun! (for your sig)

 

[twinklebug]

Prayer going out for Tammie's Travels - may they be safe, quick and may she be back home safe before you know it.

Happy birthday Kati!!!!!!

Well I'm back in the working world. Got a part time job at PetSmart. Did some video training today and more training to come in the next couple of days. Gonna miss having my time off but I'll like making some money and maybe being able to get our own place in the not too distant future.

Good luck at PetSmart! I hope you enjoy your new position.

Back from my first ever Member's cruise...amazing!!! Will post more tomorrow..tired from laundry and unpacking etc. Will post more tomorrow!

Welcome back Bloss!! From your description it sounds like it was a member's cruise like the good old days.

Hey folks
I know where to go when I need these

Tammy is returning from England tomorrow and though I know flights are a routine thing to some, I prefer praying before getting on one, we pray before a long trip in the car, asking for traveling graces and keeping others around us safe as well.

So, my prayer request is specific for sure, I pray for Tammy to have traveling graces to the airport(a 3.5 hr bus ride)and traveling graces on the plane.

TIA

Travel graces for Tammy and a big future Welcome Home Tammy!

Fellow Groupies, if I were to, um, disappear from the Disboards, you know where to find me, right?

 

[Granny]

Thanks so much Granny!! BTW, pulling for your Cards for the Wild card

So they could meet in a one game playoff with your Braves? Oh man, I'd hate to be on opposite rooting sides with you. I guess as long as that means that both our teams made the playoffs we should be happy with that!

I'd love to see your in-laws when they see the WL lobby--it is stunning, no matter how many times you visit. As for the multiple quotes, there may be an easier way, but I just type out the

part at the beginning, then copy & paste the quote I want, followed by the ending

using as a guide the example from the first quote (where it's done for you automatically). Hope that makes sense.

I actually guessed it might be something like that. And noticed your avatar was gone.

What's that mean??? What are "points"?

 

[jimmytammy]

Thanks folks for all the well wishes for Tammys safe return. She didnt email this AM so hoping she made it on the bus and to the airport OK.

Barb, lie low, stay here in your safe haven for awhile, we will keep you safe

Granny, the Cards-Braves matchup would be sweet. I dont look at it like we are pulling against each other, we are just favoring our teams

Points are what the admins hand out to the naughty children to encourage us to play nice. Some background: Awhile back the DISboard playground was getting out of control with reckless postings, so in addition to banning a good number of people from coming back in they started up the points warning system. As a former mod for the old NBC chats myself, I know how messy it can get out there. I think the points have been a good thing and have kept the place civil.

Also know, certain subjects are just not allowed to be discussed on the DIS anymore also due to tempers flaring. No political discussions for one (fine by me! I have this rule with my adult family members too LOL)

Muushy, I'll tell you what I've told my kids when they get too close to the trouble: when you see it starting, walk away! Sometimes easier said than done when a topic hits home I know

 

[blossomz]

OMG Muush! You'd better keep in touch thru email!....cooking up all that trouble!

Thanks. I searched the sticky posts and couldn't find this info; suspected it might be something like this.
