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

[bobbiwoz]

I'm starting to sound like WD but just have to say 5 more days!!!!

Unless I get lucky and squeak into VWL, we'll be at SSR August 14, 15...I think you'll be there too?!

Actually no. I was able to extend my AKV stay through the 15th so now we'll be at AKV 12-15 & at SSR 16-18. Too bad. I'm actually having a big meet from another board I'm active in (which can't be named on this thread) on the 15th at AKV. I really was hoping to still be at AKV for simplicity's sake on that date & then move to SSR. I've still been trying to get the 16th & 17th at AKV but no luck. I'm really excited about the meet though. I think we might be up to about 10 people (plus their families of course) & one of them is BWV Dreamin! I predict a fun time will be had by all!

On another note (I'm sending you a PM Stopher!) my waitlist for BWV came through yesterday for our Oct. trip! Kat4Disney that makes it that much easier for us to meet up for those slushes!

Have a great day groupies!

I wasn't on for a while and didn't subscribe to this thread so i had t revist the old one and find the June post with a link here! I thought it was really odd that there wasn't any activity for so long! Every so often I thought there HAD to be a new thread but I never actually looked for it...

Glad you found us!!

Nice to be back! Looking forward to our trip to the CA sister of 'our' Lodge; staying @ VGC for my BD arriving Oct. 16th... I hope to try Big Thunder Ranch one day of our trip; the description reminds us of Whispering Canyon!

That's so cool you'll be there for your BD. We were down @ WDW for my BD last year. Such a fun way to celebrate. VGC is so awesome.

 

[DVCGeek]

My BD is actually Tue. the 19th; I've got Mickey's Halloween Party tix + the NR ressie for it. Am going to try the Walk in Walt's Footsteps tour and possibly Steakhouse 55 for breakfast to start the day. Busy & expensive, but it should be a TON of fun!!! We've been to WDW twice for DW's BD over the years + once for mine in 2008, but this is the first special occasion we've done @ DL. On our Honeymoon we did MNSSHP, so it will be cool to try the left coast Halloween version!

Lucky you!!! I had one of my best BD's ever at DL. Did the Walk in Walt's Footstep tour, the Fantasmic Dinner package (the one they used to have on the Veranda of what Walt's apartment in New Orleans Square) and also a wine/cheese package to watch MSEP.

I like the Big Thunder Ranch dining but I'd say it's more a combo of Mickey's Backyard BBQ (but without the characters and dancing) and Trail's End. Food was very similar to the platter at WC though. I have some pics if you haven't seen any.

Enjoy your meet and your vacation!

You too!

Monday Morning - morning Groupies! Wishing I was here instead of at the office....

Can't wait for the meet!! I'm still planning on getting my VWL fix by having breakfast at Whispering Canyon. Will be a first to eat there.
hello there Ms. Bobbie!

Hi back to you! Have a great time! I've tried again to get into the VWL for this trip, but no. We'll be here in December for sure!

stopher1 - Thanks for the lunchtime pictures! I just returned from a funeral for the mother of a long time friend. The pictures were a great pick-me-up!

I spent my bd this past January at VGC! Loved it, loved it, loved it!!!!!! So jealous that you will get to see World of Color!!!

Sorry to hear that. My thoughts are with you and her family.

Stopher, thanks for the pictures! The old Jon & Kate was on again the other day when they stayed at the Lodge. It is just so nice to get any glimpse of it that I can.

Loved the pics Stopher! Wish I was there right now too!

I just saw part of that old Jon & Kate episode a month or so ago. She must have some redeeming qualities (I'm not a fan) because as they were packing up to leave she said when vacation is over she's usually ready to go home but not this time. She just didn't want to leave our beloved Lodge! I know exactly how she feels.

Yes, the last day at the lodge is always a sad day, time to try, but not succeed, in taking it all in visually one last time (that stay anyway).

How true.
