I've been a number of times DIL but mainly to furniture shop. Lol. My brother lives in the region though, Raleigh NC. He loves it!

I have been hearing nothing but good stuff so far! Thanks.

Greetings groupies! All is well in WDW. We didn't get "the" room but did get a corner room. Even numbered & noisy on the balcony. Oh well you can't have everything. I should be able to get some pics up tomorrow. This will have to do for now.

That DOES do very nicely. Thank you! Enjoy!

What is "the room"?

HorseLover...glad to see you've arrived safe and sound at our home...we'll be on a plane winging our way towards you in about 12 hours from now.

What is "the room"?

One of a few rooms with a different configuration that many find appealing. We don't like to mention it by number since there are only a couple of them and many fear an internet stampede for "our secret". PM me if you want to know more (since you're such a great Groupie and we both have the same couple of home resorts! ) We most likely won't be getting one of "the rooms" this trip since I don't request much at VWL. Just being there fulfills my most important request!!

Glad you arrived safe and sound. Love the pic!

Granny
I realize you are probably already there, but hope you have a great time and safe trip

Horselover,Granny and StanH
Have a Magical Visit to our Happy Place

thanks Horselover for the beautiful picture of the lobby Christmas Tree! Just what I needed

 

[Granny]

Well, we made it here with no travel issues!

I can already see that we will need to do some shopping...it was COLD last night walking around. Not sure if a sweatshirt will do the trick!

We had to wait for our room until 4:00, but we were prepared for that and wandered around the Lodge and grabbed a bite to eat at Roaring Fork. Glad to see that they still have the "prepare while you wait" sandwiches and salads...very tasty as always!

The Lodge and VWL is beautiful as always with the lights, garlands and music wafting through the air. Just a wonderful setting for the Christmas season and we intend to soak it in completely!

We are in room 4433 & 4435...lock-off 2BR with a nice view of Bay Lake through the trees.

This evening we will do a Candlelight Processional dinner at Via Napoli then off to listen to Lt. Dan (Gary Sinise) narrate that wonderful event.

I hope this finds all Groupies healthy and happy as we near Christmas.

Be well, my friends!

Gary Sinise does a wonderful job of narrating the story. We saw him a few years ago.

We'll be at VWL in two weeks for the marathon.

Love to see the tree Julie - thanks! I hope you and Granny and any others that I missed have a wonderful time at the lodge for Christmas!!!

Granny
Glad to see you folks made it there, and hope you enjoy the CP with Lt Dan tonight. I imagine he does a very nice job with it.

I'm back from the World since 10:45 pm on Wed.....had to work THurs and Fri and been very busy Christmas shopping/baking this weekend. But just wanted to say we had a wonderful time during our week. Loved getting to meet JT, DiznyDi and Dad, Muushka and Mr Muush and Groupie families !

Hope everyone that is down in WDW now is having a blast !

horselover 19-27 VWL
DVC Jen 22-29 VWL 1st Christmas trip
StanH 22-31 VWL 1st DVC stay ever!
Granny 22-29 VWL
Muushka 9-14 VWL Celebrity cruise 15-29

Happy Anniversary Inkmahm and Dynaguy ! Glad Horselover and Granny checked in here.....I'm so missing WDW now so I can live vicariously through them. I know---I just got back---but I always get post-WDW trip blues

Granny....we did the Dec 13 Candlelight with Jodi Benson---one of the highlights of our trip. She was very animated and passionate. We've seen Gary Sinese in the past too and thought he was great.

Posting a few pics of our Groupie meet and trip in general. It was our first stay at the BCV and we liked it.

Muushka so kindly baked for us and we had a cozy little Lodge Groupie meet :

[jimmytammy]

Merry Christmas to the best bunch of cyber family a guy could ever ask for!! Hope all have a great one!!

 

[eliza61]

Wishing everyone a blessed and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

The old guys parents are spending Christmas with us (MIL is Portugese) so we are doing a bit of a Portugese Christmas in honor of "the old guy".

So Feliz Natal to you all. I love you all madly and could not have made it through this year without your prayers and support.

Stopping by to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas - and a joyous, healthy, and peace filled New Year.

Best intentions of dropping in on the thread went out the window with the holidays, picking up a second job for December, and Mom health issues. Bob continues to lurk and fill me in from time to time. It looks like some awesome groupie get togethers have happened in December - and brings back the memories of 2010 when we got to meet a bunch of you!

If you are traveling - safe travels! If you are staying home and having family join you - may it be a joyous, stree free, occasion!

All our best-

Leslie and Bob
