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

[eliza61]

I will be at a Superbowl party and the hostess is a Steeler's fan to the nth degree. And if the hostess isn't happy, nobody is happy.
I'll be rooting for teh Steelers, whether I want to or not! Hopefully they will make it.

LOL. We're still in mourning here in Eagles land. If I'm lucky I'll be able to remove the black bunting over the door before superbowl Sunday.

It could be interesting- I'm a WI girl with a family of Packer fans. My DH is from PA and comes from a family of Steelers fans. We'd have to bug my inlaws to no end if it ends up being the Packers/Steelers in the game.

So, the news has finally broken about the direct buy / resale market points value thingy. Any resale points bought after March 20, 2011 can't be used for things not involving The Lodge. Cool. The Lodge is safe; long live The Lodge!

Let's all buy more points; I didn't want to cruise anyway . . .

Quick question Groupies, because I haven't paid attention before... I know, I should probably move up to the front row from the back seat so I'll pay better attention...

but where is it again that you find the music from the Lodge? I'm currently planning a surprise party for my DW's birthday next month (now it's her turn to have a milestone birthday) and she loves all things wilderness (she grew up going to Yosemite annually for summer vacation) and the theme of the party is ... you guessed it ... The Wilderness, and I want that music playing in the background. But don't remember where it is to go to find it. When I'm down there this coming weekend I'm going to try and capture some new and different pictures that I might be able to use in the decor that I'm trying to come up with. Planning a party is not really my forte, but I'm putting everything I can into this one. She went all out for my 30th, and even threw a nice (though not really a surprise) one for my 40th, and shame on me, I haven't reciprocated...yet.


So if one (or more) of you kind souls could please direct me to finding that music - I would be very, very grateful.

Stopher I sent you a PM

We need to get you on a cruise! Lets all go on a cruise!

Speaking of cruises, I just noticed my AMEX bill. Our April cruise just posted, along with the airline.
(YES!! Mr Muush will fly to Ft Lauderdale!!!). Another expensive month...

I compiled a CD with songs from Westerns and other tunes (e.g., Aaron Copland) that I labeled "VWL Songs." Anyone can PM me for more info re: titles and copies.

Yes, saw where the new DVC approach to resales is due to start come March. No change to how I use my points, and I actually feel the conditions could have been much worse. Plan to cruise in September, but am paying OOP for that trip, though I might wind up renting a few points to help finance the trip.

Hey Groupies!

Haven't been around much lately. That real life stuff does get in the way of the important things sometimes.

I've got to go catch up on the thread.

 

[KeepSwimmingDory]

Happy Tuesday groupies!

Granny. Good to see you.

Wish I could go sit here for a while today:

Think warm thoughts!

 

[Dizny Dad]

Thanks Dory!

 

[KAT4DISNEY]

Boo DVC.

I wonder if this is why the timeshare lords elected Jim Lewis president of their little association. So they could convince him DVC needs to be like them?

Not surprising but such a downer on a beautiful day. Your picture helps Dory!!

 

[horselover]

Well I'm really glad I decided to go forward with my BWV add-on last month now. We'll be closed by the end of the month. We would not use our points for any of the "other" options, but overall I say BOO to DVC! It will not affect the way I use my points, but it devalues the product overall. I'm sorry they can't see that.

Thanks for the pic Dory!

Hey Groupies!

I know I've been quiet these days, but I have been keeping an eye on you all. Hmm, that sounds a bit creepy

Anyway - I found a job! It took the bulk of a year and far too many interviews to count to finally be a company's employee of choice. But it's nice to know I'm working again. This of course means no trips for some time - might have to bank some points into next year - a thought that boggles the mind, I know.

I do need a quick weekend in Dec 2011 though. I was so "home" sick this last month that I had to stop reading the thread here for a bit. Don't want that to happen again.

I'm in! No intention to cruise on points here either. I want freedom to explore on my time, trees, animals and ground right outside my balcony! I don't think the new rules are going to hurt anyone who's a true DVC fan.

 

[Dizny Dad]

Just had to come into the thread to get out of the duldrums on the DisBs caused by the new DVC ruling on resale. Always good to be here. Always nice to see everyone!

Hey, Muuska has invited us all on a cruise - and I think she's buying! Let's go!

Yeah, I think it's gonna get ugly on those new resale rules threads--those who were already feeling disenfranchised by DVC are just warming up. lol Better to hang out here and dangle my feet in the Lodge's hot tub. . .

 

[DVCGeek]

Probably forgot to mention it; my parents are @ VWL right now, coming home tomorrow...

Oh yeah. I tend to avoid those threads like the plague. My little "boo" from my PP is all you'll hear out of me on the matter.

 

[DiznyDi]

Thanks, Dory for the pick-me-up! Wish I could be there right now, too. So inviting.....

Hey Granny, nice to have you back!

Great news, Twinklebug on the job! We'll be at the Lodge Dec. 8-17. Why don't you join us?

DVCGeek, hope your folks have had an enjoyable time and good weather. If you have the opportunity, ask them if the Mickey that holds the Welcome Home sign is still Minnie, or if it's been changed back to Mickey.

Congratulations horselover on your BWV contract. for a swift closing.

 

[DiznyDi]

Inkmahm, just took a look at your new Cindy pictures. What a precious pup!
