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

Awwwww WD. Such a cutie

I have a blood clot the full length of my left leg that makes it difficult to walk long distances. So walking airports and Disney World are out of the question. So I have a wheelchair for this issue.

My question is: In reference to room selection is there a specific area of the resort that I should request?

No, I do not need a handicap accessible room. I can walk around the room and such just fine. I just can't walk say the long distance from the room to where the buses are (this is where the wheelchair comes into play.)

I know we aren't making this trip until next year but being a DVC member I like to get most of my ducks in a row before I have to make that call to member services at 7 months.

Thanks to anyone who can help me with this question..

Thanks for the prayers. We actually DID drive to the vet's office and load our dog into the car with her IV and all. I drove and DH sat in the back seat with Topaz. She started to eat before I pulled out of the parking lot. She didn't eat a lot, about half a can of the AD food. But she ate! The vet and the assistant were amazed.

We brought her back after about a 20 minute drive and then spent some time with her in one of the examination rooms. I think I needed the time with her to make sure she was doing okay as much as she needed to see us. The vet will draw blood tomorrow morning and then we can call at 5 pm to see the results, to see if the treatment is working. She may come home tomorrow night or she may stay at the hospital for more fluid and who knows what else.

I know she is old, but I want to give Topaz every chance for hanging in there for as long as she may comfortably have left. Tonight I'm grateful that she is still here, even if she isn't out of the woods yet.

Thank you all!

My mom is in a wheelchair and we ask for a room close to the elevator when she is with us. The end of the building where the elevator is is actually very close to the bus stop.

We love our home resort at VWL, and we are going there today. We haven't stayed there for a few years, as we've been trying the other resorts.
Forgive me for not reading all of the pages on this thread, but I have a question for you all.
Is there any schedule, or rumors of refurbishing VWL? I ask, only because, I just remembered that there is no dining table, or banquet in our villas. Over the last few years, we have become accustomed to serving up to 6 people at one table in the other resorts. OKW last year, VGC this past Thanksgiving, and a few others we have stayed at have a dedicated dining table.
I'm not complaining, as it is usually just the 2 of us for meals in our villa. But this year we are having FLA relatives come for dinner. There will be 6 of us, and eating on the couch, or wherever, is not a problem. However I am all for DVC adding a dedicated dining table/ banquet much like the other resorts have.
I'm sure there would be room to add one. Any thoughts?

Not sure why but I was in a 2 bedroom a couple of years ago but I seem to remember a dining room table. We don't usually eat at it but use it for throwing junk on it at the end of the day. LOL. It only had 4 chairs but definitely had room for 6. I'll see if I have any pictures of it.

Here's a picture of the table in the VWL 1BR/2BR villas:

We have had four people around the table but not six.

I don't think there is really much room to add a bigger table.

VWL does have a counter space as well for people to eat at.

Enjoy the trip!

WildernessDad - your Tink is adorable!

We have some interest in our house again. My massage therapist is actually looking for a new place to run her business. She came to look at our house yesterday and loved it. Now it's a matter of our city giving her a conditional use permit to allow her to use the house for her massage business. I'm cautiously optimistic. Working in our favor is there is a business next door and we are on the main street running through town and there are other business scattered around.

Just as at SSR, there is plenty of room for the bench against the wall and two chairs at the outer side.

Just can't imagine why they skimped on the table space. That is where we also "De-Stuff" at the end of a day - and root thru in the morning!

I'm gone for the next several days. A wedding, a reunion or 2, a birthday, a birth and visit with my friend who lost her husband this past August.

RI/MA, here I come.

Bye Groupies

I've been spoiled with my last stays at VGC, Kidani and the THV

They have nice long tables that don't take up a lot of room:

I wish they could adopt tables like these at the VWL upon a remodel. The little round table is very small for all that stuff. This table would be where we would set up our "IT" station with our lap tops and wireless router. It's also where the "stuff" goes when we come home for the day. However it could be easily cleaned off if we were serving more than just two of us.

 

[blossomz]

I really like akv and kidani too.

Bye muush, have fun.
