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

[shwn]

Thanks for the Welcome!

I will keep you guys updated as soon as we hear more. I am hoping that a stay in October will work out for us, but I'm not sure it will be available, as it will be past the 7 months window if we close on time (mid March hopefully).

Congratulations!! Good luck with ROFR. I'm a new groupie myself, but not lucky enough to find the right contract yet. I'm thinking that we will be VWL voyeurs for a few more years.

But, the next contract we buy WILL be there!

Welcome to the groupies shwn!!!!

Good luck on ROFR!!

OK - for the un-initiated : what's ROFR? I probably could lurk around and find out, but it's easier to just ask you guys!

Hey Liz
twokats hit it right on the head, if you try to purchase pts. through a company that re-sells DVC pts., then DVC has to have 1st crack at re-purchasing those pts. before they will allow them to be sold to others. Im not sure what constitutes DVC to make the purchase or not. If anyone can enlighten us on DVCs guidelines for ROFR, it would be of interest.

Happy Friday Folks!!!!

I have good news, checked my BP last night and its the 1st time since April that my top # read in the 120s, and my bottom # read in the 70s My bottom # had been hovering in the 90s, even surpassed 100 a few times. I dont know if its the addition of a baby aspirin every AM, watching my diet a little closer or a combo, but either way, I was excited! In my younger days, good news would have been my fav. band was coming to town, now, my BP is down. Life sure changes in funny ways

thanks twokats and jimmytammy! I figured it was something with DVC, but since I haven't gotten in to DVC yet, I just couldn't figure out the abbreviation! Sounds very complicated, but I guess Disney wants to make it easier to buy straight from them.
thanks!!

That's great!
And no kidding. My husband and I discussed hemerrhoids (or however you spell it) last night. GROSS! Suddenly my son is taller than I am (I swear it happened overnight) and my husband and I have all these "old people" complaints. And we discuss them!

Ain't that the truth JT. Absoluely wonderful news on the bp (and yet another sign of life changing, lol we start talking about our medical conditions).

I'm fanatical about the men folk taking care of themselves.

Any one hear any reports about the new RFID bracelets? Have they phased them in yet?

I will keep you guys updated as soon as we hear more. I am hoping that a stay in October will work out for us, but I'm not sure it will be available, as it will be past the 7 months window if we close on time (mid March hopefully).

When we bought VWL three years ago, we didn't close until late April, and we had to go on a waitlist for our early December trip (holiday season at VWL is tough to come by unless you own there). However, the waitlist did come through a few months later. All that to say that I believe pixie dust will follow you on this journey. ROFR is annoying, to be sure, but I'm confident that will pan out as well. Good luck and welcome!

JT: Great news about your BP! Keep up the good work; diet, exercise, plenty of water and most importantly take time for yourself whether that be reading a book, baking a cake or taking Tammy on a hot date.

DDad and I have similar issues; arthritis, adult onset asthma among others. Our 58th year has not been kind to us. We can only hope 59 is better!

One week from today we'll be at Aulani!

Hey Eliza! I have heard that it is still coming out in phases -- and something about only tickets purchased through Disney.

I've been pricing out our tickets, and although Disney is more than Undercover Tourist, I may use Disney, just to up the chances of getting the "new" tickets. One thing I read was that even the folks who didn't have bracelets, but had the new plastic tickets, got to go through the quick entry turnstile.

There's so much sketchy information about all this out there right now... who knows! But I'm guessing that getting tickets from Disney couldn't hurt.

Thanks for the good wishes. The holidays are our favorite time at VWL, which was the main reason we wanted to buy there! And actually, thinking about it, anytime is my favorite at the WL...but still working on my wife! She is slowly coming around to love it as much as me.

Hey, that is great news! Not Van Halen, but good news!
