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

[eliza61]

By the way, has anyone seen Maria lately????

Have a great cruise Bobbi!!

No and I tried to pm her a couple of weeks ago, nada. Hoping she's well and will come back and play soon.

Overheard at DiznyDi's computer last night:

24 dazzzzzzzzzzzz; 24 dazzzzzzzzzzzz;24 dazzzzzzzzzzzz;24 dazzzzzzzzzzzz;24 dazzzzzzzzzzzz;. . . . . . . . . .

Tired girl! So Many things to get done, and so little time to get it all done.


Let all know how much I love and appreciate her; how much I respect her work; how much I try to notice all of the little things she does daily to make our house a home; and so all know she is the best thing that ever happened to me!

Think how much more I might discover of her if I would get out of my big soft leather chair in the evenings . . . .

You are my "hero" for the day. Thanks for brightening up my Monday morning. Gotta love a man who loves his misses. Extra pixie dust for you Dad.

Between taking care of her mom; travelling and staying with DD & DSIL to aid them two days a week; embroidering everthing you can think of for those she promised "by Christmas"; making military shock cord bracelets and working the Craft Shows; chairing the Worship Board at church; cooking; cleaning; laundry; dog sitting; and, oh yeah, taking care of Dizny Dad, I guess there isn't any time to think about the upcoming Adventure.

Hello Groupies! Happy Monday. This post really has nothing to do with the wonderful Lodge, but I wanted to share it anyway. I got to start the 2nd version of the Owners thread for our sister lodge out west this weekend, and as such, I thought it would be cool to have links to all of the various DVC resort threads in one place. So I did that over there... and decided, hey, why not add it here too. You just never know when one of the Groupies might have a question about a different resort, and wouldn't it be cool to have a quick reference to the "other resorts' thread"? I'm going to add this to the first page as well with the on-going calendar... but figured I'd let you all know about it here first. I hope you're having a great day!

Here are a few links that are NOT Wilderness Lodge related, but rather related to all of our sister resorts within the greater DVC family, just for fun, but also in case anyone has specific questions about another resort, all of the DVC resort threads are in one place here...

Animal Kingdom Lodge: ***Official AKV Owners and Lovers Thread***
Aulani, Resort & Spa: Aulani Owners Thread - Aloha!
Bay Lake Tower: ***Bay Lake Tower Owner's Thread***
Beach Club Villas: "STORMIN THE BEACH" BCV Owners - and GROUPIES WELCOME HOME!
Boardwalk Villas: The I Love BWV (yes, Hallways and Clown Pool, too!)
Grand Californian: The Villas at Disney's Grand Californian Owners & Lovers Group - 2.0
Hilton Head: HHI Roll Call, Adoration & Information Thread 2010
Old Key West: OKW Lovers Thread !!!
Saratoga Springs: SSR Lovers & Owners Part 2
Vero Beach: Vero Beach Adoration 2010 Thread... We Need New 2011 Thread...Somebody?

This one is for all the parents, grandparents, aunties & uncles, honorary adults or any body who has come up with this "brillant" ideas you swear the kid will like and then wondered who the heck are these "little" pod people.

some how I don't think this is going to end up in the "dreams" campaign.

Oh man, that video! Yikes, what a reaction. I bet those parents are so glad they dropped a few grand for a trip.

DiznyDad - so sweet!

Got our trip booked today. Can't wait for May 7th when we get to check in to the Lodge. It will be a wonderful week with my parents coming along for the trip. DS(5) is so excited already. It's been over a year since he has been to WDW. I wonder what new ride he'll be big enough for this time. Last time he conquered Splash Mountain and Dinosaur.

What is wrong with kids these days? I would be clamoring for the door if my parents had told me this wondering why are we still sitting here? LETS GO!!!!!!

 

[Dizny Dad]

What is wrong with kids these days?. . . . . . . .

Most are just a reflection of what they are shown . . . .

We have a video of the very same thing when our children were very little. We woke them up at 5 AM and unfolded that we would be having lunch with Mickey that day. Our son was just confused; our daughter immediately asked if that is why she didn't have any of her new underwear in her drawer. It took a few minutes, but then the excitement took over.

 

[DisneyNutzy]

I can't view the video while I am at work but my teenage daughter has been bouncing off the walls for a week in anticipation of our trip.

We leave tomorrow. I will try and post some updates. Staying at BWV but I plan to get to the lodge at some point. I need my Roaring Fork cupcake!

Eliza, that was just plain awful (the video). I'm speechless (if you can believe that!).

Yay! VWL here you come! I hope your son adds a long list of rides conquered!

Don't watch it, it is painful.
Have a great trip to our Beloved!

DiznyDad, I love what you wrote about your wife. I can't wait to meet you 2!

 

[stopher1]

I'm with Muushka - that video was just painful. Wow. But what's worse, in my opinion is the attention-seeking to the response by the parents by posting it on YouTube. I can understand the ones where people try to surprise their kids by waking them up early in the morning and the reaction isn't quite what the parents hoped for simply because the kid(s) don't want to get out of bed being still half asleep - but this? That's just sad really. Painful, and sad.

Sad for the children, yes. But for the mom, she's getting all the ridicule she can handle in the comments section and is hopefully learning something from it. Might be just what she needs.

I look at the video as an example of how not to surprise your kids.

They were obviously exhausted, and had their hearts set on seeing Dick (their uncle perhaps?). The mom should have been saying to herself "Uh Oh. I made some huge mistakes here. Time to get on the phone and arrange for Dick to meet us in Disney." instead of the reaction she gave.

The mom posted that they ended up having a lot of fun in WDW despite a rocky start. Although I'm happy for the kids, as an after effect, I fear she taught them it's acceptable to blow off loved ones for fun.

Edited to add: looks like it was too much for her and she took out the comments, and yet, decided to keep the video up.

I don't know JT. This happen to the old guy and I one year. we told the dynamic duo we were going to visit some cousins and at the airport we told them they were actually going to the world. Let me tell you, they were less than happy campers. They literally did not want to go, in their heads they were ready to have fun at their cousins house.

It literally took 2 days of them sulking at disneyworld before they perk up.

I think as parents we build up these big "dreams" of the "perfect" wdw vacation and then get upset when our kids, who at the worst time can voice their independance, don't share our enthusiasm.

Even now they do have friends who hate Disney, well maybe not hate but would not be happy campers with being "forced" to go to Disney.

I just want to know what the heck is at "Dicks" house.

 

[sleepydog25]

25 days and counting. . .or as someone who shall remain anonymous says, "less than three weeks!" Uh huh.

 

[KAT4DISNEY]

No kidding!

 

[BWV Dreamin]

A shout out to Muushka... is there still a cruise list going on? If so, put me down for May12,2012 7 night Western on the Fantasy!

 

[Nicoal13]

I can't wait for all the groupies to have TR and pictures when they return. I need a fix.

That video is sad. I have to agree that sometimes we build something up in our heads and then when the kids aren't as enthused, it's a bummer.

I also want to know what is at Dick's house. LOL
