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

[threebeesatdisney]

First, HAPPY THANKSGIVING everyone!
Second, last summer we stayed at Animal Kingdom Lodge. About 3 nights a week they had "movies by the pool" night over at Kidani Village. They set up a huge blow up screen and you could sit in the pool and watch the movie. Do they have that at the Hidden Springs Pool in the Villas area in the summer?

Happy Thanksgiving back at you, and welcome to the thread.

I've never seen any movies set up by the pool at VWL. It's a pretty small area to try something like that. More likely they would have something down on the beach similar to how Beach Club does it. But I'm not aware of any movies shown outside at WL/VWL. I'm sure some other Groupies will chime in to correct me if I'm wrong.

I have never seen them either, but then again we haven't stayed there since 1/08

And welcome to the Groupies thread threebeesatdisney.

Happy Thanksgiving Groupies!

Happy Thanksgiving, groupies!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I think I'd be happy with either Cinderella/Cindy or Minnie Mouser. We're going to meet the breeder on Saturday to see one of the full size cream color dogs so we can get a better idea of size, etc. I think they are going to be smaller than I expect but we'll see. Maybe "mouse" will be a perfect name after all!

Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone. I'll let you know when DH decides although I'd put money on it being Cindy.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Mouser is cute!! Looking forward to see some pictures of the new family member!!

They do them down on the beach - back by the bike barn. No blow up screens for WL/VWL either - it seemed to be permanent or at least semi permanent.

Mouser is cute!! Looking forward to see some pictures of the new family member!!

I've never posted a picture but I'll try. She is the darkest one on the left.

And here is mom and all the siblings:

I think that mom needs some blue eye reduction.

[twokats]

Happy Thanksgiving to all!!!

Hope everyone enjoyed their turkey and all the fixins'. We had a great dinner, Mom is here with us and we are expecting our first freeze tonight after being in the 80's yesterday. The front came through this morning about 6.

Cute puppies. I want something, just don't know which breed I want to go with. I am leaning towards Maltese, Yorkie or Papillon. Oh well, someday!

Mom had a small procedure done yesterday which her surgeon was very pleased with the outcome. He figures she will finally heal now and should be ready by the time of the cruise. We are trying a pill form of chemo which so far is not giving her any side effects like the IV ones do. She was in such great spirits yesterday as we left the hospital. We are so ready for the cruise. New clothes are bought and we got our cruise packets in the mail a few days ago. Palo and excursion reservations are made all we have to do is finish packing!!

Yes Barb, just me.

I leave in the am for California and the Grand. of course now the forecast has changed to include snow overnight and through the morning. Whatever. Will be the first of the season if it holds true.

 

[wildernessDad]

It should be me and wife and son, but they may be in Roaring Fork having lunch. But I hope it will be the three of us.

 

[KAT4DISNEY]

Very cute puppies Inkmahm!! I'm sure it won't be possible to hold 3 in one hand for very long!

Aren't they just adorable? DH has decided on the name- it will definitely be Cinderella with Cindy for short. We're looking forward to the new family member but she won't be here until the end of January when we get home from our trip to Disneyland.

 

[franandaj]

Palo and excursion reservations are made all we have to do is finish packing!!

So you can do these in advance now? How cool. I remember in 2000 or 2001 that I had to run from the Palo reservations to the spa reservations once we got on the ship, I don't even remember if we did excursions, just remember the parasailing was so cool!

I am days behind on our groupies, but was reading your post about pros and cons of ownership. It reminds me of Clark Howard and his downtalk of Timeshares. I agree to the tendency of not owning one, based on my little exp. with them, friends who own and never get full use of, or being held to just certain weeks, etc.

Then as Clark starts up his rant about timeshares, how crummy they are, I agree, but always throw in, dont include DVC in this talk, cause its a whole nother animal that deserves a page in timeshares all its own. That is on the positive page of the book, all by itself

 

[jimmytammy]

Oh yay for looking forward to cruising!
And a really big yay for chemo without side effects!!!!


Well I just got home from my big Black Friday shopping. My friend and I are usually out until about 3 in the afternoon (get up at 4 AM!) but this year I think the sales were pretty lame. Well, except for Band Hero for $75 for me!!!

 

[DiznyDi]

Muushka it will be just DDad and I. DD and DSIL will be the ones going commando through the parks.

Cute pups Inkmahm! I'm not familiar with this particular breed and will anxiously await pictures as your 4 footed family member grows.
