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

If you would like to add some trip dates to our calendar on page 1....

PLEASE
PM
ME

It's much easier than trying to pick them up from the thread... especially when your laptop dies and your access to threads is limited.

so please - just PM me. I'll be happy to add you, but please do just send me a PM. THANKS!

I appreciate it!

So you want us to PM you right?!

If I HAD a trip planned I would, but so far it's only in my mind....

Okay, thanks first, for helping me plan my upcoming vacation. The transportation is the issue now.

Now I'm thinking that we could get the Disneyland express to DLR and then a rental car from Disneyland at the end of the DL vacation to do the Southwest tour with a drop off at Las Vegas. Comments on the DL Express and my car rental idea are most welcome.

Since you are going to hang out at VGC that's what I would suggest. It'll be less expensive and save you from some driving in LA. I almost always use DL express or one of the shuttles when I go to DLR and usually the Grand is the first drop off.

Excellent. Thanks for the reply!

Btw, 150 days to go until December vacation!

We're Here! BLT was fun for a couple nights, but coming home to VWL is just so relaxing. No agenda. No rush & hustle. No phone service... Yup, absolutely no phone service in our room. Fine for me as I'm not working this vacation, but it's driving the kids nuts.

We have a black widow out on our patio. She's not bugging us, so we won't bug her. I'm a little surprised housekeeping didn't sweep her away as she built her web between the chair and a bush. We've also had visitors: 2 geckos and a hummingbird drinking from the little flowers growing out here. No bunnies yet, but there's a mysterious pile of pine needles with a snake or chipmunk sized hole in it.

On check in yesterday we were informed numerous times that they'd have the hot water off from 1am until 5am and apologizing for the inconvenience. No biggie I thought... who's up at that time? Little did I realize the plumbing work was being done right outside our door . 2:30am I woke to hammering and filing. I peeked out the door and sure enough a plumber resembling a thin Santa was plugging an electric saw in and climbed a ladder. Took an Advil PM (last resort) and slept the rest of the night away without issue.

Bumming around hidden springs and the lodge today - MK is open until 3am so we'll have a late night.

So good to be home. Will post pics of BLT and VWL in awhile here.

aah..sounds wonderful!!! Is it still unbelievably hot there?

 

[twinklebug]

It is drippy-hot out, but when we left New England it had a heat index of 100, so about the same. Wednesday was gorgeous though: About 82 with minor humidity. A perfect day for being outside. Plan is to stick to the evening hours. Mornings are nice too.

I have to say, I love the families who hang out at hidden springs pool. Everyone is so friendly and laid back, no chair hording going on. I don't dare try to swim over at Silver Springs pool - no seats and the pool is SO crowded. Yikes!

Enjoy your stay at our home TB! Did you end up flying or driving down?

I love the hidden springs pool too. Wish I was there right now!

A black widow spider! twinklebug, you are handling it well!

Have a wonderful time at both resorts.

Have a great time at VWL. BTW, I would get rid of the black widow if I were you. I hate doing life in, but in some cases, where humans stand chance of getting hurt or worse, doing the deed is not bad. We have had creatures to venture into our rooms before. Just saying

I tend to agree with JT. If you don't want to do it yourself maybe call housekeeping & let them know it's out there. It's definitely a hazard & I know I wouldn't want to sit on the balcony knowing it's there.


HAPPY BIRTHDAY LISA!!!!

 

[wildernessDad]

148!

Thanks for the 148 WD!

Here I am! I am a left coaster and just finished having company which cuts into my Disboards time.

I think California Grill followed by a viewing of Wishes and then the electrical parade at VWL sounds like a great way to celebrate!

Thanks for all the birthday wishes! It's the big 5-0 today.
