Hi everyone

Just dropping by to say I hope you are all enjoying the holidays

Personally I can't wait until New Years Day so I can say 'We're going to VWL THIS YEAR !!'

I'm sure you can all understand my excitment

And you are coming from way across the pond!! Have a wonderful time.

Just booked two nights post-cruise in a studio at VWL for 5/26 and 5/27 to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary after we get off the Fantasy.
We are flying home on the holiday, and the flights are crazy right now, but I booked early so the RT from EWR to MCO cost me $239 each. Now the same flight travelling home on a holiday is $379 each.

Hi, Folks. I will add a more detailed report first chance that I get. Incidentally, we stayed in room 3519, which is one of the 2 bd with the unique room configuration. It seemed much more spacious than the other 2bd, though I don't know the exact square footage comparison. I have to say (as usual at VWL) guests were very friendly and seemed in great spirits. There is something about VWL that puts people at peace even when they are a few miles and minutes removed from the frenzy of the parks.

Well, we went December 23-29 (in 2006) and did run into park capacity issues a few times that week. We found that if you really wanted to go to the parks, you needed to get their early before they shut down the entry. I had a picture somewhere of a huge crowd in front of MK, all waiting for park attendance to dip low enough to get in. Every time a family would walk out, there would be a cheer!


While we were there, MK closed a few times, and DHS once or twice. EPCOT and DAK never reached capacity. Can you imagine how many people would have to be at EPCOT to be full to capacity?

And when MK closed, they also closed the monorail to MK. It was really strange.

Our strategy was to avoid the parks much of the trip and enjoy the resorts. I'm sure there are strategies on how to "do the parks" during those times, but we just aren't into early mornings or late nights these days.

Frankly, I don't see us going during Christmas week again. It was a great time, but just way too crowded.

What is the difference in those special room configurations? How many are there? Is it worth requesting? Thanks

Our only exp. with a 2 bed anywhere has been at VWL and it was in one of those corner rooms near the elevators. That would be my request, near the elevators. We got lucky, IMO as we didnt request this but it just worked out. Really nice layout and it does seem like they are bigger than usual for VWL.

Happy New Year's Eve, groupies! We are headed out to dinner with family tonight and then probably to my brother's house or maybe back to our house since everyone will want to play with the new kitten again.

Which brings me to the kitten update: We have Inky Maleficent as our newest family member. Picked her up from the vet Wed night after 5 days and Inky still has worms (another deworming on Monday) and a weepy eye (we have antibiotic eye drops for 10 days for her). Inky is such a sweetie though. We've had SO many people stop over to see her and she lets everyone hold her without complaint.

Haven't been doing much else besides playing with Inky these past few days. Last night I let her sleep in my lap in the living room and today she is off exploring somewhere. She only has access to a bathroom, the kitchen and the living room so she should be easy to find. She is probably napping as she spent quite a bit of time attacking my fingers last night under the fleece throw I had in my lap.

She was 1.6 lbs when we took her to the vet on 12/23 and was 2.2 lbs when we picked her up on 12/28. Growing like a weed!

We are still feeding the outdoor cats so that we can take them in to be neutered starting this next week. I think we have three of them that have been coming for food. Inky's mom and dad as well as a third.

As I sit here putting the final entries into the 2011 calendar year, I just wanted to wish all of our Groupie friends a safe and Happy New Year!

DDad and I traveled to Virginia where we spent a few days with our son and his wife. The weather has been wonderful and very uncharacteristic for Ohio this time of year.

See you all next year!
