Hi Joe

How are you liking BCV? My second favorite DVC resort!

Have a wonderful time and tell Mickey HI from Muush

 

[eliza61]

Hi gang sorry have not been very good this trip with the TR.

We checked in to BCV on Sunday have a nice room with a view of the pool. Here is a photo.

Will do my best to get TR done but just with a studio no real time to do it everyone hits the hay at the same time. I miss the 1BR at VWL and the extra space. Ok got to run DW is on me to not wake up DD.

Hey Joe,
BCV's is actually my home resort. We've been switching between there and WL. The old guy and I love the lodge but sid & Rizzo are partial to the BCV's. probably the pool and being able to walk to Epcot.

Enjoy your stay. Hit Beaches and cream for some thing really fattening & sweet. (calories don't count at the world )

Do we have a lull in travelers during June?

Muushka – Not sure why I haven’t been on but thanks to everyone for making me feel so welcome. Don’t you just hate it when something like that happens with the DVR?? If you get it from Netflix, it is on Season 2, disc 2.

eliza61 – Sorry to hear about the cut hours…love the new reality TV show idea.

BWV Dreamin – Loved reading your encouraging words and you are so right about the one door closing/one door opening.

WDWRR_ENGINEER – Hope you have a great trip. It is hard when you get used to that 1-bedroom to go back to a studio. We have not stayed at BCV but hope to for one of our shorter trips soon since we seem to go over to Epcot so much.

 

[Muushka]

Thanks Tammy!

Hi all, we got back home at 11PM Saturday. We had a great cruise. DCL does it right. We went to Nassau instead of Cozumel. We had great weather and smooth seas. Sounds like the meet was great. It seems anytime a couple of DISers get together it is fun. We booked a 3 day cruise in Dec 2010 to see the decorations. We are going to WDW Jul 23-26 at AKV and Jul 26 to SSR. Last minute trip for my BD. I hope to post more often now.

 

[KeepSwimmingDory]

Muushka - LOVE the cruise picture and how exciting to have that once in a lifetime experience! Beautiful!

eliza - Great idea for a show and I'll definitely be in your audience.

WDWRR_ENGINEER - Glad you are enjoying your trip. Know what you mean about the studio. Last trip was our first studio and we did miss our 1BR. Would love to see some of your BCV pics.

happydinks - Good to see you. It is a tough time to be looking for a job, but hang in there and don't give up.

to all of you who are job hunting.

TammyNC - Really glad you have joined us.

Welcome back! Glad you had a wonderful cruise. I have never done a cruise, but DH is trying hard to talk me into it. Yay for having more trips booked!

Ahoy Dave! I was wondering when we would hear from our latest cruiser!

I am glad you enjoyed your cruise. Can't wait to see the pictures. I put your Dec 2010 cruise in, but not the exact date. And I added your other dates to the list, but just 1 day at SSR?

Dory, listen to your husband! He wants to take you on a cruise!!!

 

[DaveH]

The July trip was booked right before the cruise. We decided to add a day and nothing at AKV and VWL. They had OKW and SSR. I love them also. We just decided to do SSR. One thing I learned on the boards and on the cruise was was that folks with motion issues should start taking their meds a day or 2 before to have them in their system. That seems to work well for many. I did noticed a fair amount of folks with a batch behind their ears.

Hi to all the Groupies! I will spend the next hour or so reading the 21 pages since the last time I visited to get the scoop on the goings on. This looking for a job thing is still taking all my time!

This is just no fun. I think we need to start a support thread for out of work or hours reduced groupies. I guess that's really what we have here anyway though!

I'm so jealous! I love BWV and it looks like your room isn't too far from where we were last summer. I think my DH has 1bedroomitis. He loved our 1br so much at BWV that he had to get one for AKV.

You mean "Just keep swimming"?

Hey, all of us seekers can do is just keep plugging away at it. Unfortunately, we're all in good company these days.
I think that Eliza may have something though -- how about "The Desperate Job Seekers of the WL Lodge". We could have our little individual vignette's filmed in front of the fireplace in the Lodge --- with all the whooping and hollering going on in the background.

Gotta say - love the NY housewives, but oh those NJ housewives! They could more than hold their own with Carmella Soprano! I'm waiting for Tony to show up in one of the shows!

Hello ,

We are in the process of buying a resale VWL DVC and are soooo excited. WL is our favorite resort. My husband and I stayed there for our honeymoon in 2003 and loved it. Our family now consists of our son (age 3) and our daughter (age 3 months), and we are hoping to use banked points, about to expire, for a long weekend trip this summer. we don't care where we have to stay and are willing to pay the $95 to stay in "hotel" instead of a DVC if need be. so i am stoked about that!

Does anyone know where I can find a list of how many points it takes to stay in a hotel using DVC points? I know the points are high to do it and I know it costs $95, but we have 170 points that will expire soon, so we can blow all of them on a weekend trip KWIM? Our first choice would be to stay in VWL/WL and then anything else in the MK area is fine. My husband loves WL (as does our son lol - there is water inside!), but his second favorite is the Contemporary (I don't like it - too modern for me).

Thanks to all!!!!

I don't have the answer for you, but wanted to welcome you and assure you that one of our knowledgeable groupies will be along soon to answer that question. Congrats on buying DVC!

Thanks Dory

 

[twokats]

I am in single digit countdown until my trip!!

I still have so much to do and am not getting it done. I am famous for doing that and then I will kill myself the night before packing and get no sleep since we have to get up in the middle of the night to go to DFW airport!!

I still haven't even done my ADR's. So not like me. But I don't guess it really matters. We have been before without them and I still have a week!!

Welcome to imchatti and TammyNC.

To the ones that are at WDW or almost there have a great time and a safe trip home.

 

[DisneyNutzy]

Hey Groupies,

Hope everyone is doing well. I have some serious reading to do so I can catch up. This time of year when my other obsession starts (softball) I don't spend much time on the computer.

 

[tea pot]

Hey Groupies

Boy do I miss you guys and Wow do I have alot of reading to do...

We're back.....we visited with DSIL and family after we left WDW
and came home a few days ago. Now I'm trying to get back into the grove...

Happy Belated Nurses Day and Mothers Day to all

I'll try to load and post pics and a little TR soon... What I can tell you is that it was HOT.... Felt like a July/August visit not May!!!!

take care

 

[DisneyNutzy]

Hey Groupies,

I know we have talked about many of us having children with special needs. Mrs. DisneyNutzy has started writing for an online website as a parent/professional on the subject of special needs children. It is a New York based site but I thought some of you might like to check it out. One of her future articles will be about taking a child with special needs to Disney.

I did some looking because I knew I had seen it before. I think this might help you. Check it out and see if it gives you the info you are seeking.
