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

[I Book He Pays]

Hi Groupies:
How are you doing? Anyone have plans for the weekend?

We are suppose to get a mix of rain/snow tomorrow with an accumulation between two to four inches. By Monday, we'll be in the 50's so I'm glad that the snow won't be around that long.

It's been really busy here with one thing or another and next week will be just as crazy. DH has to get an injection in his neck on Monday, I have to get a thyroid biopsy and see a Cardiologist. I can't wait for vacation in two weeks!

Muushka ~ How "suite" it is!!!! Congrats on your cabin upgrade!

edk35 ~ Have a fantastic vacation and enjoy!

dbprimeaux ~ Enjoy your stay at VWL!

Inkmahm ~ I'm so sorry to read about DH's grandmother. Thoughts and prayers to all of you during this difficult time. Have a great vacation and enjoy... the easy part! How's Inky?

npcougar ~ Good luck obtaining a contract for VWL. At some point we would like to own there as well since the resort is gorgeous! Keep us posted and welcome to the thread!

horselover ~ Congrats on your booking at the lodge!

Have a great evening/weekend everyone!

Thanks!!

Well, we didn't get the 7 inches of snow yesterday. More like 3 inches, if that. I'm not complaining though. The roads were good enough that we drove to a local pizza place for dinner last night.

Dynaguy's grandma is still hanging in there, too. She is getting morphine for the pain of two broken vertebrae. Dynaguy says she is really tough and he won't be surprised if we go to Florida and back and she is still in the hospital when we come home. I'm not quite as optimistic. But as long as she is getting medicine for the pain, I'm okay with her hanging around for awhile. It would be nice to be able to go to the funeral.

We have another funeral to go to this morning for my SIL's mom. She was in bad shape and should have been in a nursing home a long time ago but the kids promised to keep their parents at home as long as possible with home health care. This is one time when I really believe the quality of life would have been BETTER in a nursing home.

It's only -1 here today. Looking forward to Florida on Monday and weather that is 80 degrees WARMER than here!

That sounds a bit like my grandmother was last spring. When they first said 12-24 hours, it turned into something like 14 days. Still praying for her, and the family.

I hear ya! I too am looking forward to a warmer climate for a bit. I like the snow - it's the icy roads that I don't care for. I have to go out into it today, and I'm not looking forward to that as it's coming down consistently right now. But DD is jumping up and down, since she can go out and build snowmen, and make snow angels and sled. I look forward to helping her when I get home from my meetings. And I'm not going to complain about warmth... until it hits 90 - then I start to complain. Supposed to be high 70's, low 80's in Honolulu the next several days if not longer. That'll do.

Found a 100 point contract today and made an offer. It was what they were asking and was a fair price so hopefully it will be accepted.

Wow that was fast! Congratulations & good luck!

And completely unrelated to anything VWL but just have to say congratulations to my beloved Pats! We're going to the Super Bowl!!!!

Long term lurker on this thread since I love WL, but I have never stayed at VWL before. I was always a little afraid I would be disappointed after staying in the big lodge. I have finally booked 2 nights at the end of our stay in June in a studio, after a stint at AKV and the main part of our stay in a standard 1br at BWV.

I love the general atmosphere of VWL/WL so I am sure we will have a great time. I am surprised that VWL is so available now that we can see with the new on line reservation system.

Just wanted to say hello

Welcome new Groupies!

Congratulations npcougar on the fast find and acceptance of your new contract. How exciting for you!

bookwormde, lurkers are always welcome here. Sit a spell and join in the conversations.

Continued prayers Inkmahm for Dynaguy's grandma. It's so hard watching our loved ones when they're in pain and suffering. Enjoy your time in Florida. Bring some sun back for us.

Stopher, in a word...... Jealous! Have a really nice time at Aulani. I know you'll come back with lots of pictures to share and a tale to tell. Enjoy your trip!

 

[Muushka]

Aloha to all of our new Groupie friends and owners!!!

Visit often and post LOTS of pictures. We love it when you do that!!


Aloha Stopher!!! One of these days we will make it there, but until then, again, LOTS OF PICTURES!!!

Today we received our luggage tags. 6 weeks from today, we will be on our 20th anniversary/my birthday cruise!!!

 

[npcougar]

Thanks for all the welcomes and encouragement. Does the VWL have different views?

 

[Granny]

Thanks for all the welcomes and encouragement. Does the VWL have different views?

First of all, congrats on your DVC ownership!

To answer your question, VWL does not have any separate view categories for booking. And as you look at this picture of VWL (red roof), you'll see that your view will almost always be....trees!

Enjoy your membership!!

 

[jimmytammy]

Thanks for all the welcomes and encouragement. Does the VWL have different views?

There are possibilities of seeing the lake from higher floors. Also, the pool can be seen from some rooms. But IMO, all views are great
