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

[Linda67]

Welcome to the groupies Linda67!!!!

BTW
My DW and I are saving up for a trip to your country. She just got back from visiting her brother and his family(he is stationed at Lakenheath AFB)in Sept. She visited London one day but wants to return to see lots more.

England will welcome you with open arms

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!
I hope everyone has a wonderful day!


Since you can't book more than 7 nights immediately at 11 months you do need to call back but it doesn't have to be every day. If you wait for 4 days after booking the first 7 then you can add on all 4 at once. It's easy! .

Thanks for the tip on booking my 11 days - I really appreciate your help
I'm not sure how to multi-quote on my iPad app so sorry for the numerous posts
Normal service will be resumed tomorrow

Great sentiments JT, Couldn't have summed up my feelings for Groupies any better.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!
I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Hi Inkmahm! There's one meet at TOTWL on Dec 8th - after 8PM with the plan to watch the fireworks at 10PM. Then a second meet at FW to do the sleighride on Dec 12th. I think the plan is for the 9:30 sleigh ride.

It is on the 12th and it is at 9:30 but it's the Hayride! No reservations necessary, easy-peasy.

 

[Muushka]

Oh! Oh!! The Walton's Homecoming is on the GMC station at 7 and then again tonight at 9!

Remember, the 'recipe'!!

Lol - I pictured the hay ride but typed sleigh ride!

And thanks for the heads up on the Homecoming! I love that movie. Had to have the Patriots game on 'til the end but switched over and John Boy and Grandpa are about to go get the Christmas tree so I didn't miss too much.

Did everyone see about all the new perks for AP holders? Free Parasailing photo package, a couple extra laps on the Exotic Driving experience and 50% off golf!

Wow, I am at least 60 pages behind on this thread with no hope of ever catching up. I'm back in time to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving though!
We leave next Wed for WDW being over with surgery for awhile. I hope. I am no so afraid this time because I know what is ahead of me and know that I can do it.

Hey Inkmahm
YOu CAn Do It ! Pixie Dust and Prayers coming your way

Welcome to the new Groupies!!! Pull up a rocker and let's chat.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of the Groupies - both to each of you and to all of yours. May tomorrow be a day of great blessing to each of you! I know that some of us have lost, over the past year, someone that we love. My prayer is that you can surround yourself with family and friends that love you without measure. But whatever the case, know that you are all in my prayers, and I am thankful for each of you!
.

Thanks so much

Happy Thanksgiving Folks!!!!!

Nicole
I appreciate your sentiments towards our service men and women. They allow us this day to be with our families, give thanks to God for his many blessings, and stand free as a nation.

And while we are on the subject of giving thanks, I want to thank you folks for allowing me into your lives. It is something I look forward to every AM and PM, catching up on what is going on, seeing the excitement of upcoming trips, sharing in your personal lives, triumphs and tragedy. And though I may not respond to every post, I am following along. So my prayer for all of you is God grant you peace, good health and prosperity for the coming days.

Thanks so much Jimmy
I'm getting a little misty eyed here

Wishing all Groupies a very Happy Thanksgiving Day!

As you gather around your table with family and friends, may you find joy, peace and contentment on this Thanksgiving Day.

Special thoughts and prayers to you Eliza. Know that we are here to offer a listening ear or a shoulder to lean on. You're never more than a key-stroke away from those that care.

Ok now you did it!

Love You Guys

Hayride! What Hayride? how come I don't know about this?

Oh! Oh!! The Walton's Homecoming is on the GMC station at 7 and then again tonight at 9!
Remember, the 'recipe'!!

Oh no I missed this too! I love that episode I think I'm going to need the recipe

Oh man, I knew I should be PMing you more often!! The hayride goes all around FW campground. I thought i might be easier than the sleigh ride because you don't need reservations for it. We loved seeing all of their decorations at FW, so I am really looking forward to this. And very sad that you won't be with us .

Wow that's good to know I always wanted to tour the campground at Christmas and yes yes PM me any time.

Well this is on my "Must Do" Dec 2013 List

thanks a bunch

We just dodged a major bullet!

Toilets gurgling....burping....shower and tub......water and 'stuff'

called the plumber....will be there in an hour.......

Suddenly, everything drained, and all is well.....

quickly called William and told him what happened.......

He said we should be fine!

This is your 5:50 PM Muush update......

 

[jimmytammy]

7 more days, but hey, who's counting? DS and I are going to get our last minute jobs wrapped up today(side work)so I can vacation with a clear head.

Barb, big time bullet dodged indeed. Glad it all worked out for you folks

 

[wildernessDad]

7 more days, but hey, who's counting?

I am! 7 days to go here as well.

I bought a twin areobed yesterday for pickup today. I figure the DGD can sleep in it, my son can have the pull out and DW and I the queen. We're in a studio. I think 1-bedroom villas are in my future if we have 4.

Thanks Muush ! Glad it all ended well !!!!

Inkmahm: We really are looking forward to time on the Fantasy. I know my way around the Wonder and the Magic and I'm looking forward to exploring the Fantasy. We are on the Eastern, stopping in San Juan. That was the reason we picked the Eastern, to see San Juan.

Ink...we rebooked on our Sept 29 Fantasy cruise for 2013. We really wanted to see San Juan but the dates just didn't work for us. Let us know how that port is ! Also, on our 7 night Fantasy cruise I must admit we did not see the entire ship ! Too big !

Rob and I are going to try REALLLLY hard to make the 9:30 pm hayride ! Plans changed a bit for Thur Dec 13. We now have a CP procession package booked. My friends were able to book a flight to Tampa from Ft Lauderdal and will arrive in WDW around 3 pm. Our dinner at Rose & Crown is 5:20 pm that day. I REALLY want to do the hayride !!!

OMG MUUSH!!! Glad all is well now!

I know those sounds. My dad was a journeyman plumber. Inevitably, our water heater goes bad on Thanksgiving Day. Made it another year!

Glad to hear you drained well!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!

Hi Inkmahm! There's one meet at TOTWL on Dec 8th - after 8PM with the plan to watch the fireworks at 10PM. Then a second meet at FW to do the sleighride on Dec 12th. I think the plan is for the 9:30 sleigh ride.

Top of the World Lounge? I think we can maybe get to that one. We have dinner at 7:30 at Artist Point. We might be able to get over to BLT in time for the meet although obviously not at 8 pm. But in time for the fire works and maybe a little earlier. We leave on the 12th to go home so no sleighride for us.

So who is going on the 8th?

 

[jeankeri]

Groupies- is it appropriate to ask a VWL question here? Are DVC guests allowed to swim at the main pool at the lodge? A friend told me this when I was thinking of staying at VWL for our next trip. Isn't a deal breaker, just curious if it is true.
Thanks

We plan on being there, provided we arrive in Orlando at a decent time!

Um. Yes, you are allowed to ask a VWL question here, provided you

1. Pull up a rocker and spend at least 3 days with us
2. Get yourself a Moosie for your siggy
3. Always plan your trips with us and
4. Give a detailed trip report WITH photos



sorry, a little feisty this morning

Sure, VWL guests can use the WL pool!
