VWL Lovers & Groupies Thread: Meese-ka, Mice-ka MOOSE-kateers

Your welcome! And here's one for the morning (even though it's a night shot ). It's one of my favorite walkways!

When in the room we didn't hear anything. Out on the balcony you heard the dim noise of the busses pulling up and departing. My request had been lake side, high floor so I was a wee bit disappointed when we were assigned this room but in the end it really was fine. A benefit was that just 3 or so doors down the hall was an exit stair that brought you out at the end of the villas so it was close to the main lodge.

Great shot...
To add a nothe about being on the bus side vs lake/pool side, if I want to have coffee in my pjs, I'm sure all the ones rushing to the buses would rather not have that vision first thing in the morning.

We usually request the high floor and love when we get the enclosed balcony.

Drunken elk rescued from Swede's apple tree

A drunken elk desperate for just one more mouthful of fermenting apples
lost its balance in the attempt, leaving it stuck in an apple tree in western Sweden.

Oh! Poor thing!

Don't float away!!! I'd love to be able to turn off the lawn sprinkers. I bet you all would be happy to turn off the lawn mowers and sump pumps!

It is supposed to rain here all week!!!! Didn't have to worry about the effects from hurricanes in Iowa!

Good Morning Groupies!

Thanks Muushka. Sure needed that today. I'm a big hockey fan and I just found out that there was a plane crash in Russia that killed a whole hockey team. Their coach used to play for my Flyers. So sad.

 

[Muushka]

I am so sorry about the accident DLI.

Silly reporter, doesn't know a drunk moose when he sees one. Or, maybe he's changed the name to protect the Moose's innocent family.

Somebody please direct me to that apple tree.

Too funny. The Drudge link called it a Moose. I am confused now! I thought it was a moose!

Yeah, how do you like them apples

It's a moose alright - check out the nose/mouth. Elk have a square muzzle, big black/brown nose and, a more elegant look to them. This moose seems to be a college kid from the looks of his size and condition.

In the comments, someone mentions that what we call a moose in the US is called an elk in Europe. Confusing eh? There are other examples of different animals with the same name in different countries. For example, what the Brits call a robin is a different bird from the robin in the US.

So would a European VWL fan be an "Elk-kateer"? Doesn't have quite the same ring...

 

[Happydinks]

Hi All from rainey Virginia!

This is fun seeing everyone's preferences!

1. Sitdown restaurant in parks Crystal Palace
2. Sitdown restaurant in resorts Artist Point or Narcoossee's
3. Quick service in parks Pecos Bill/Seasons in Epcot
4. Quick service meal at resorts Roaring Fork
5. Snack spot on the balcony of our room!
6. Snack Mickey Bar/Frosted Brownie from Roaring Fork (it's a tie!)
7. Park Epcot
8. Ride at each park Soarin, Toy Story, Safari,Tomorrow Land Transit Authority

Hope the wildfires in Texas get under control soon - that the Northeast dries out - and that Marie(Maria?) (Katia is a non-issue at this point) stays way far away! We could all use a break from Mother Nature at this point! Be well and stay safe everyone!

Hello HD. Big race this weekend!

Dont let her fool you...she looks cute in her ESPN PJs DD and I ran all over WDW to find to surprise her with!

 

[I Book He Pays]

Hi Groupies:
How's everyone doing?

It's been raining here the past few days and will continue until Saturday. I'm turning into Daisy Duck! I don't mind the rain but after seven inches the previous week, we've had enough.

twokats ~ I've been reading about the wildfires in Texas. I hope your DD's friend is OK.
edk35 ~ Welcome Home! Great to have you with us!

Nicoal13 ~ Best of luck with your new job and getting used to a new routine.

Muushka ~ LOL OMG the poor thing!

Happydinks ~ We definitely need to dry out in NJ. Friends of ours are on a cruise right now (Bermuda) and had to leave a day early due to Katia. I wouldn't want to be cruising right now and dealing with the wave heights.

Have a great evening everyone!

Oh honey, you made me blush .

I do love my ESPN pjs, they are so comfy and I laughed once I heard the story of what Jimmy and DD went through to get them for me.

 

[Inkmahm]

Thanks for sharing these pictures, they are really helpful. I must say I hope I don't get on this side of the building. Could you hear the buses and the people coming down the path? AND on the flip side, can you hear people at night in the quiet pool?

I have to say I don't mind either side of the building. There are so many woods that both sides are okay. I can't say I've had a problem with noise on either side. I've never really had a "bad" room at VWL!

I can't wait to stay there and find out if I have a preference!

OK Groupies, how about our next December Groupie meet be a "PJ Party"? Huh?

DiznyDi looks great in her flannels, Jimmy says Tammy looks great in her PJs, and I bet all of the ladies look great in their favorite PJs. We can gather around the warm fire, have some snacks, take pictures, share thoughts.

Guys, , we have to wear robes - no foolin'.
