VWL Lovers & Groupies thread: It all started with a Moose

[MiaSRN62]

Inkman, stopher, Muush, twokats, Di & Dad

Winging my prayers up and doing my vuulcan mind meld on the laptop sending waves of love your way!!

Remember, love knows no limit to its endurance, no end to its trust, no fading of its hope; it can outlast anything. Love still stands when all else has fallen and no matter what we experience love and faith will remain.

No matter how long you guys are away, we'll be here with a rocking chair.

Stay well

So beautifully stated eliza

A little extra pixie dust my way Saturday morning please!! I agreed to speak at my cousins funeral. Just a side note. . . I am not much of a public speaker, but my aunt asked me and my other cousins are unable to speak, so I felt as the oldest of the cousins I would give it a try. (What have I gotten myself into?)

Pixie(and a few sprinkles of Moose Dust)Dust blowing your way You will do fine.

It is an awesome task. Prayers and dust that calm will prevail and the right words will flow.
I hope that the service fulfills what the family needs to help in the healing process.

So to everyone out there DiznyDi & Dad, twokats, teapot, stopher1, Muushka and anyone else with a need for prayers, I am definitely pulling for you!

However, I had to share this news of good fortune on my behalf. Today I passed ROFR on my VWL contract! All that means is I need to fork over some cash and I will be an official VWL Owner! Not that I don't want to stay at SSR, but I'm looking forward to transferring part of my Oct trip over to VWL (and when my BCV contract comes through transferring to there as well). If all goes as planned, by the end of 2011 we'll have stayed at all the DVC resorts at WDW and then we'll know which ones we like best. We've stayed at the hotels at VWL and BCV and loved them both for different reasons which is why we are purchasing points at each resort.

Also, earlier this week we booked a spontaneous trip to BLT for the Destination-D event. We really didn't have much of a desire to stay at this resort, but because the event is in the Contemporary and we went to the DLR Destination-D we know how important it is to be close to the event. Had we not been able to get a room at BLT we would never have decided to go.

I can't believe that all of sudden we are going to WDW 3 months from now! I'm really excited that we booked a trip so close and now I have two WDW trips in my siggie!

Wonderful news! Congratulations! I'm nearing my goal of staying at all the onsite DVC resorts too. The only one left is BLT. I don't have a great desire to stay there either, but I will once just to try it out. I do like the location, but the resort itself just doesn't do it for me. Maybe in Oct. we'll try it for 1 night before our cruise. Enjoy your news points!

Welcome Home and congrats franandaj on making an awesome resort your HOME !

I realize many of you don't care for BLT....but this is one of the big reasons we purchased here....I took this photo while sitting out on our balcony and watching the sun set over the MK. VWL still is my fav, but BLT has it's positives too.

[Muushka]

That is a great shot Maria. We loved the CR the one time we stayed there and hope to be able to get in there one of these days! While the motif is not exactly my favorite, I think that the other things that BLT has to offer more than makes up for it.

You know how much I hate that couch at VWL and I am able to overlook it for all the other goodies!

Congratulations to our newest VWL owner!

And tomorrow.......


wait for it......


wait for it...........


Happy Birthday Cheer4Bison!!!!!!

And a very happy Valentines Day to all!!!​

 

[MiaSRN62]

Thanks Jimmytammy and Muushka ! Sitting on the balcony with a view like that is one of the huge reasons we purchased BLT. It's funny, people said when it was first selling how high the MK view points are ---and felt most people would book the standard/lake view to save points. But I'll tell you, every time I book, MK views seem to be the first ones that are booked. I called 2 weeks ago for our October trip and could not a MK view----had to go with lake view. So I think that view makes people want to cough up those extra points. I agree Muushka.....Contemp/BLT is not my motif either (VWL is !!!!), but the views/ability to walk to MK/additional years/extra bathroom with one/two bedroom pushed hubby to buy BLT instead of VWL. You might recall when we purchased in 2009 we were torn.

Oh.....and I could see our WL/VWL from my BLT balcony last year !!!! Here's that shot :

The birthday girl is here!!! Where shall we have lunch tomorrow? My treat!

Have a happy one!

 

[Muushka]

Update on my sister is that she is improving! They are moving her to a hospital based rehab center probably on Tuesday. I go up on Thursday. Her speech has improved as well as her thought processes and motor skills. They still will not rule out CA (although the biopsy was negative....) but things are considerably better than they were even 1 week ago.

Thank you all for your support and kind prayers. Lots of Groupie support is a wonderful thing.

Oh, could we have lunch at Roaring Fork and then take the boat over to Adventureland in the Magic Kingdom for a Dole Whip, please?

Thanks, Muush! So glad to hear that Lexie is showing signs of improvement!

Happy Birthday cheer4bison!! Woo hoo! I hope it's a great one.

My eldest turns 15 tomorrow. Now in about 6 months the real fun starts - he will be old enough then to acquire a Learner's Permit. I'm not ready for that. But he's applied for a summer job (at Scout camp), which will basically take him away for 9 of the 11 weeks of summer break - and tomorrow he is getting his most prized, and coveted gift of them all (at least for now) - his own cell phone. As my DW put it so calmly earlier today... he's just taking the first steps out the door now. And we know it. Doing our best to keep building him up so that he's properly prepared to one day take flight and hopefully soar.

T-6 now until my DW's surprise party. I finally told my boys today, but am holding off until that morning to tell my 6 yo DD. No use in throwing 7 weeks of planning and preparation out the window, now is there? The boys both thought/think it's really cool, and can't wait to see her face when she enters the room.
