We're Baaaaack!! **The WLV's groupies & Trivia Thread chapter 3

[eliza61]

Welcome Back every one who recently completed trips. Maria, glad you guys are back safe and sound. Any time you have a break down it's going to cost $300 bucks. I think it must be some universal minimum the cosmos put together.

Dory,
Our first feature film production Hey, maybe this is how Ole' Walt got started.

Muushka,
Thanks for the steel Magnolias quote. that is one of my favorite films.

Ok Trivia time

Jim Henson's MuppetVision 3D, opened May 16 1991, also one of my favorites

Can you name the other Muppet-related attractions and shows that have appeared in WDW?

Ok I know it's not VWL, but here are some pics from the last trip to BWV. Here's my thoughts on BWV. We enjoyed it very much. The location really is fantastic. We loved being able to walk to Epcot & it was only about a 7 min. drive to the MK. We loved their quiet pool. Dare I say it, but JMHO I think it's nicer than the VWL quiet pool. Seems bigger anyway & not as crowded. We would definitely stay there again, especially if it was an adults only trip, but it's just not Home! I didn't get that warm inviting feeling I get when I walk into the WL lobby. The lobby didn't call me to sit & stay awhile, but the back porch definitely was calling my name. "Come & sit in these comfy rocking chairs & watch the world go by!" Never did have a chance to sit there though. Oh well next time. Hope you enjoy the pics.

For you Beach Club lovers

DH on the Boardwalk (would have looked better if he didn't look like he was carrying a purse!)

1 BR

No Mickey Towel Animal

View from our Pool/Garden view room (not worth the points IMHO, but I could walk right out to the pool bar!)

To be continued!

Six days until AKV, seven days til cruise and twelve days til VWL. How does that little boy in the commercial say it. .. . I'm toooooooooooooo excited!!!

Woohoo! Are you packing yet? I finally started.

Dory....very creative and funny graphic! Thanks for the Monday morning smile.

Dory, Twokats, and BWV Dreamin....have wonderful and magical trips!

imchatti...congratulations on passing ROFR and good luck with your reservations.

Maria...awesome photos including the armadillo.

Thanks!

Good job Dory!!!

My pleasure! The actors were so good to work with.

Dory....I love it!! Ok groupies, I think I'm the next one to visit VWL...I'll be there in exactly 2 weeks from today!!!!!

Thanks and I hope you have a great time at VWL. I may not get back on much before you leave.

Ditto, Dory! Toooooooooooo FUNNY!!!!!!!!!

BWV Dreamin~are you packed yet???

Thank you.

Great Dory! Those ducks are absolutely the best!

Yes it was all Maria and the Ducks. Without them there would not be a movie.

Really funny, Dory! You are so creative!

BWV Dreamin Wow, a 2 week countdown. Sadly, I have 6+ months before I can say that . I know you'll have a great trip!

Thanks. Glad everyone enjoyed it. Wish I could have been there to witness it live. The movie is the next best thing.

Boy so much has happened on here the last 2 days that I didn't know where to start until I saw the hilarious post by Dory! That is way too funny!!!

Maria - great pictures. I would love to see an armadillo!

Claire - good to hear from you and I hope everything goes well for you with all your travelling.

Hello to everyone else and I hope you have had a nice weekend.

Yes there is a lot to catch up on here. I had a post with several comments to some of y'all that I lost when my internet browser quit. So just as soon as I remember what I said to who I'll retype it.

I know it included:
Maria - Glad you are home and sorry for the car trouble. I know you are thankful your daughter wasn't on the road alone. Oh and I think the pictures you enjoyed were tea pots and I didn't want to take the credit for them. Also finding the nurses pin. And I LOVE the duck whisperer story--hope you don't mind that it turned into a feature film!

Muushka - Happy belated Medical Technology week (I probably have the name wrong) but I am thankful for all the medical workers because I could never do those jobs. I pass out just thinking about it.

We leave Wednesday noon to head to the beach for 2 nights before we check in at AKV. We are driving so I've got the tylenol in my purse. First thing I packed. Think "would you stop touching me" You would think by 14 yrs. old twins would not act like that, but sometimes my boys remind me of Gilligan and Skipper or any of those comedy acts where you have one little annoying one and one big grumpy one. That's my boys.

Ecpot on Sunday

This was the highlight of the day. My 1st Grand Marnier Slush!

F&G pics - amazing topiaries

DH participating in the What's Your Problem Show (he was volunteered )

Still shot from the movie Earth. I wouldn't have wanted to be on the other side of this camera!

More to come. Hope you're not bored yet!

LOVE the trivia Eliza! I have no idea but will be interested to see the answers. We are big Muppet fans!

Glad you liked the movie.

Horselover - Oh fun! Looks like a beautiful place to stay and you definitely should try out those rockers who were calling your name next time. Thanks for sharing. And can't wait to see the rest.

 

[horselover]

Couple Wishes shots. We didn't have the best viewing area, but the GorillaPod tripod helped tremendously.

The famous anniversary cake. Sooooo good!

The groupie meet!

Couple more BWV shots
Quiet pool

Lobby

View from back porch

And my favorite shot. There's always one pic that speaks to me & this one is it. It says to me we're holding these 2 chairs for you whenever you're ready to come back we'll be here waiting!

That's it. Hope you enjoyed them.

 

[TammyNC]

Announcing a new groupie production:

Loved it!!!

imchatti – I would take a long weekend trip over no trip any day plus adding on the sitter makes it even better!! We’ll be waiting to hear if you make it through ROFR too.

BWV Dreamin – We’ll be waiting for some pictures so that we can live through you being there.

twokats - Feeling your excitement!! Your vacation sounds awesome.

horselover - Loved the pictures, can't wait for more!!


Off to get the day going...DS needs to get started on his math, DD is finishing up a couple of projects then I get to spend part of the day on the phone with tech support for the laptop, doesn't that sound like fun??

I don't know the answer to the trivia either but I'll be back on later to see the answer. I'm also going to get that clippie put in after I post.

Have a great day everyone!!

 

[LVSWL]

Horselover-loved the BWV pics! We really enjoy staying there. Our last stay was on the second floor, just to the right of the "art" gallery. Supposed to be boardwalk view, but not in my opinion. Still, we enjoyed the convenience. Since our stay they have trimmed the tree that blocked our view Maybe others complained about it too . Our favorite restaurant is right there also, the Flying Fish Cafe!
It looks like no one was at the world with you! There aren't any people in your pictures!!! Lucky!!
Thanks for including us in your trip!

Oh you strong women!! How long is the drive from Texas. Look, I've got Sid and Rizzo in the car with me. they're 15 & 17 and by the time we get to South of the Border on I-95, I'm ready to beat the %^ell out of them, Pedro and "the old guy", my husband.

Drive safely.

Love this shot.....I'll be in the rocker to the right, waiting for my groupies friend to join me for an afternoon coffee and a croissant from the Boardwalk Bakery! Hmmm....I am smelling them now.....

 

[MaryJ]

Hi everyone. I've know I've been MIA for a while, but I finally made my way back here, and let me say, seeing the promo for "The Duck Whisperer" made my day! I'll be silently chuckling about that for the rest of the morning!

I only know of one previous Muppet attraction, and it's only because it was mentioned last week on the WDW Radio podcast. That would be "Here Come the Muppets."

DD is coming home for a visit on Friday, so I have lots to do to get ready. Will try to get back here again though!

Can you name the other Muppet-related attractions and shows that have appeared in WDW?

Eliza...I know that there is a "Hidden Kermit" in Star Tours. It's one of my favorite things to look for as we make our way through the queue.

Also, I think that some of the Muppet characters have been in the MGM parades through the years?? I'm pretty sure they have.

 

[Dizny Dad]

Horselover -

Loved all of the pics for lots of reasons! DiznyDi & I have spent time in those welcoming BWV chairs too! Love that spot!

Tell Anniversary Guy Hi for us and let him know that he looked great in all of the photos - hadn't noticed the "purse" until I read your comment, but he looked like he was having too much fun in the apron.

I also noticed that your Gran Marnier expereince was right where DiznyDi & I love to sit and relax. You have great taste! (of course, just about anyplace in "The World" is a great place to relax when you head is in the right place).

 

[Disney loving Iowan]

Horselover thanks for all the pics from BWV. We have stayed there twice and love it. My DD wants to stay there again next year.

 

[DiznyDi]

Thanks horselover for the pictures. Oh that wonderful cake Sure was nice seeing the sights again. Doesn't it seem like so long ago? Hopefully those traveling to the World soon will have more tolerable weather.

Dory Have a great (and safe) trip! We'll miss you around these parts. Make sure to take lots of pictures!

Hi MaryJ Nice to see you again!

Tammy your moosie looks great!

 

[KeepSwimmingDory]

Love this shot.....I'll be in the rocker to the right, waiting for my groupies friend to join me for an afternoon coffee and a croissant from the Boardwalk Bakery! Hmmm....I am smelling them now.....

Oh I hope I'm not too late for a coffee and croissant. My kids are on my last nerve and I'm not even in the van yet. Just had the "this room is the worst looking pigsty I have ever seen" meltdown with them. (Yes I'm an authority on pigsties!)

Hey I have one of those in my house too!

Just keep telling yourself - There's no place like home, there's no place like home! Have a great trip Dory!

 

[Corinne]

That's it. Hope you enjoyed them.

Ahhhh, Horselover! Great photos! We are staying at the BWV in August (if our waitlist doesn't come through for the BCV). I see you are a neighbor also from MA!!!

 

[Muushka]

Hey I have one of those in my house too!

I have a pigsty too! Wish I had a kid to blame!!

Hi Mary, good to see you

Horselover, I loved the pictures... cake, yummm, chairs, yummX2.

Dory, happy packing! Home soon!

Granny, I was about to put out an APB for you. Good to see you.
I never noticed that handsome frog at Star Tours, thanks!
