YEEESSSS !!

 

[horselover]

Just wanted to pop in and say I hope to be a new owner soon - found a VWL contract this morning. Within an hour of finding it (at a most excellent price!) the buyer and I agreed on an offer. Now waiting for it to pass ROFR. I am so excited - I will keep you posted but wish us luck!

Good luck!

I just noticed that you're listing 2012 Cruises. Well, our family will be on the Dream for the 5 night double dip, August 19, 2012 cruise!

Awesome Bobbi, but Stopher is the keeper of the trips and he will probably see this but asks to be PM'd.

Double dip! We did one of those a couple of years ago. Fun!

OK...thanks...I think our DGC are more than ready for 2 days at CC. I'll do the PM now...

Hi dear Groupies-

We have been truly MIA since our trip in December to the Lodge - and all the groupie meets. We have about 100 pages of postings to catch up on to find out what's been going on with everyone.

Muushka and Mr. Muush filled us in on some of the goings on when we visited with them on Sunday (it was so wonderful to hang with them for a few hours!). We think of you all often - but it's tax season now and winter in the oil business is brutal - so we've had little to no time for checking the boards.

We just wanted to say hi - and hope to be more "present" in the future!

Leslie and Bob

Hi Leslie & Bob !
Don't worry...I was MIA for awhile too (dh's health concerns/surgery and me back to school). You'll get back in the swing of things !!!!!

Im up for a groupies girl meet too. I can wear a wig, not well, but I can wear one

 

[DiznyDi]

Congratulations DizGirl20! You should pass ROFR without any difficulty.

Count me in for the 'Groupie Girls plus JT and Granny Gathering'.

So nice that you stopped for a visit, Leslie! We've missed you (Bob, too!) Wonderful that you were able to spend some time with Muush and Mr. Muush.

 

[stopher1]

For sure Granny !

I'd be up for one too! I LIKE girls... in fact I LOVE two very special ones... does that count?

 

[DizGirl20]

I just want to say thanks to everyone so far - you sure are the friendliest group of people! - and I truly hope that my contract passes ROFR so I can hang out here some more with you guys! I don't want to jinx myself but if/when it passes, I'll let you know cause we will get it for an amazing price. We also own at AKV. Does anyone else own there? I think I must really be drawn to the "lodge" atmosphere. Both resorts just seem so homey and cozy to me. Are there any VWL locations that are considered to be more "desirable" than others? Already thinking ahead to when I make my first reservation! This ROFR process is going to kill me, but I've been through it before. Good things come to those who wait!

Well, we really don't require ownership to be a Groupie. In fact, several Groupies own elsewhere. All that's required is an appreciation for the special atmosphere and draw that WL/VWL has.

As we say around here, we'll toss some Moose Dust (our version of pixie dust) your way in hopes that it all works out for you!

WL and AKL were designed by the same architect (he also designed the Grand Californian at Disneyland). So it's no surprise that they share a lot of the same ambience.

Honestly, VWL is such a small resort that even the farthest villas from the elevators are not very far compared to most DVC "hotel style" resorts. If you've been to AKV, there's NOTHING to compare to the hallways there!
The only "bad" view at VWL is the infamous "Dumpster View" that overlooks the maintenance area at the far end of the building on the bus side of the resort. So many people tend to ask for the "lake side". Aside from that, you're pretty much going to see....woods. That works perfectly with the theming.

Best of luck to you and your ROFR process.

Groupie Girls? . . . . . . . . can I come, too? (Jimmy, Stoph & Granny need my support!)

 

[Inkmahm]

My first day of consulting at my old company was yesterday and I go back today (doing it two days per week minimum). Of course, today we have another snow storm. I hate driving in snow but I have 83 miles ahead of me so I have to get going.

One of the things having to commute does is give me time to think and pray. I just wanted to let you know that I may not be here as often while I'm back to the working world but I am thinking about and praying for all of you with the various needs!

We do... and at their sister lodge in California too at Disneyland... the Villas at Disney's Grand Californian. All three were designed by the same architect, Peter Dominick. Superb properties all. The Lodge has just such wonderful rustic charm. Love, love, love it. It is, hands-down, our favorite resort at Walt Disney World.

Well, looky here! HD!! Hi Leslie and Bab

You know, once I submitted that reply, I regretted it. The men on this thread are the best on the Dis, IMHO. I can't imagine having a meet without you guys!

Hang with us regardless where you own!!! We have some very faithful Groupies that don't own at VWL!

DD, it would not be the same without you and your buds.

A Groupie girls meet sounds like fun!

Had a rough start to our morning here. DH woke me up at 5am because he went into the kitchen and the floor was flooded. We have a clogged pipe that caused the dishwasher to not drain properly and drained it all out onto our floor. Ugh! We have a laminate floor in our kitchen and it sucked up some water, so there is some buckling in a few spots. Eventually we wanted to replace that floor anyway, but it still stinks and wasn't a fun way to wake up.

Plus, like Ink said its snowing here in WI again today. Winter feels as if it will never end.

On the bright side, less than 2 months now until I'm at the Lodge!!!

 

[eliza61]

Hey vacationbug....I'm always up for a meet ! I'll be at Kidani however Aug 21-25. Only had points left for a one bedroom and needed that extra sleeper chair and bathroom otherwise I'd be at VWL !

eliza....we are overlapping by ONE day.....maybe we can meet up ???? Aug 24 is our one semi open day. We have dinner at Boma at 4:30 pm. Otherwise sort of loosely planned to be in AK that day....but after dinner we should be pretty flexible ?

Aaaagh, I knew Sid the squid would be my downfall. Thanks Maria but unfortunately we pushed back our trip by 2 days. Sid is thinking about going to the University of Miami (yeah, like that's gonna happen) so we're going to Miami for 2 days so we can check it out. If I have to eat Ramien noodles in order to pay his tuition I really think he should go some place cold and snowy like University of Buffalo or North Dakota.

I am sooooooooo jealous. I want to meet you guys too!!!

Ok, you guys are going have to post your 2012 dates, I may have to sneak away for 2 days and say hello. Think I could get away with saying I'm just popping into the city by way of Orlando?

Groupie Girls? . . . . . . . . can I come, too? (Jimmy, Stoph & Granny need my support!)

Psst, we kinda already had you guys penciled in..... lol
