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

[KeepSwimmingDory]

Hi all !

I'm in WDW right now ! Sitting in our studio at SSR (#2505). This is Congress Park sectionand I'm about 30 feet from the lake with a view of Bongos and Cirque outside my window. Great location for view. We move over to POP tommorrow and it's going to be tough to leave SSR.

We drove down. Left 18 degrees and 5+ inches of snow in Lansdale, PA .......drove 12 hours and slept over in Waltersboro, SC. Well, woke up at 8 am to 20 degrees and icicles there ! It's chilly here now in WDW---everyone has coats and jackets on. The potted flowers here at SSR are all covered because of frost warnings.

Unfortunately, my dd who attends college in Melbourne, FL had to go to the ER last night. She's got a bad UTI and is on antibiotics and another drug. We are supposed to pick her up tommorrow so she can join us tommorrow---but she doesn't sound good at all. So I'm saying some prayers tonight that she'll get well soon.

Anyone else down here now ? I'll have to go check the first page........

Maria

I am sorry to hear your daughter is sick. Pixie dust for a quick recovery.

Aah Maria,
I'm winging my prayers up also. ugh!!


Ok groupies,
I got my first nasty gram from another disser so I guess I'm an official member of these boards. I made the mistake of mentioning that since I'm a dvc member my vacations now are a lot more relaxed so I don't follow TGM or any other touring plan. To which some one called me an elitest rich person who thinks she's special. Which is really funny because
I am the poster girl for the TV show "what not to wear" except I never move onto the part where I shop for a new warddrobe. I work in a research lab which means I wear a proviable white lab jacket all day. Underneath it can be down right So I probably have a better chance of being mistaken for Nick Nolte in "down and out in Beverly hills" than any thing remotely rich.

 

[dsquarednz]

Yikes! You don't have to be rich to be in DVC...perhaps just good with your money, or even just have differing priorities.

And..hi everyone! Haven't been on here in a while, but since we just booked our plane tickets to go to Disney (our first trip using DVC points!), I've had 'Disney Fever'.


I do have a question regarding tickets....will ask it here. Tell me if I should post it elsewhere on the site!

As DVC people who live out of the country, we aren't going to buy Annual Passes. Instead, we'll prob buy through the reputable online ticket company we bought from last year, which = paper tickets.

Easy enough, right?

Now for the complications:

1) Most of our trip will be in a Studio at VWL.
2) Our last night at WDW will be in a one-bedroom (also at VWL, but we may change to BCV to take advantage of the pool).
3) We are also going to Disneyland for 2 days on the way back home. I understand from a money-saving-focused Disney website that DL honors left-over days on WDW tickets for admission into DL and California Adventure.

And the questions:

1) Is it worth attaching our paper tickets to our room keys in WDW?
2) Will there be complications when we switch to the one-bedroom?
3) Has anyone else used WDW tickets at DL?

Any advice/suggestions would be appreciated!

 

[DiznyDi]

Maria and prayers to you and your daughter. Hope today was a better day and all got to enjoy the Florida sun.

dsquarednz Sorry, I can't answer your question on your tickets. Though if someone knows, I'm sure they'll post. When's your trip? Let Muushka know, she'll add you to the list.
Di

 

[dsquarednz]

Thanks, DisnyDi!

We'll be there from the 19th-30th of September. WOOT!

 

[MiaSRN62]

Thanks to everyoone on their wishes and good thoughts for my daughter. I hope tommorrow finds her feeling better.

And eliza, so so so sorry you had to get nasty and unfounded comments and criticism like that. I also mentioned one time I didn't see much in the value of TGM and got a little jumped on. But nothing too nasty such as you received. Just try and let it roll off your back. I'm also a candidate for What Not To Wear.....so we're both the same there. At work, it's scrubs for me.......and at home, I'm a t-shirt and jeans kind of girl.

Ok....just heard the manager in the SSR food court say this is the most significant frost that FL has had in the past 5 years. It is C-O-L-D here !

 

[tea pot]

Hello Groupies
Wow.... do I need to catch up.....
Hope all is well...
See You Real Soon....

Oh nice. I finally got that out of my head and you mention it!

Why don't you give me a paper cut and pour lemon juice on it!
"Humperdink Humperdink Humperdink".......I'm not listening!!!

Hey Muushka
Have Fun Storming the Castle

Maria....
Pixie Dust and Prayers to you and your daughter Hope it warms up for you in our Happy Place

 

[Disney loving Iowan]

Wow finally got time to catch up on all the pages. Got home Tues. night and haven't really had the time to go on the computer. I am on a computer right now that is hard to type on so I'm not going to give too much of a report right now. We didn't have the best weather but it was better than being home. It rained 3 days and was cool but it wasn't snow and cold! The ice storm got us a little going down. Our first flight into Dallas was canceled but we still got to Orlando but 3 hours late. I will try to write more tomorrow on the better computer.
Welcome to the new groupies.
Maria I wish I was still down there! Hope DD feels better.
Eliza sorry about the nasties. I think it's the green monster. Although I don't know why people have to feel that way. We are far from rich and are fortunate to own. It is just ignorance of the DVC that people think you have to be rich to own.
Oh they are showing a Disney commercial. BooHoo! Oh it is going to be so hard to wait 16 months to go back!
So since I didn't stay at VWL how much of a TR should I put on here? Should I just put one on the TR thread and post the link here?

 

[KeepSwimmingDory]

eliza - sorry to hear about that

dsquarednz - Wish I had answers for you... but I don't.

DLI - Welcome back and sorry you had less than perfect weather. I am glad you made it after a cancelled flight. Can't wait to hear about your trip!


We are going on our first cruise ever this summer. I am a little apprehensive, but it is short (3 nights) and on the Disney Wonder! So I feel like if I have to go on a cruise, Disney is the way to go. My DH has always wanted to go on one. He is such a sweetheart and puts up with so much from me, so I am finally giving in to him. I figured I've put him off almost 23 years so he deserves it. Thanks for letting me share my news and my thoughts about it.

Now back to WL:
Maria and everyone there have a great time! Can't wait to see pictures and hear about it.

 

[Muushka]

Well I finally got copies of some pics from my niece of our Jan. trip. Those of you that read my TR may remember that I had some issues with the tub. Here's the pic of DS taking his bath. I call this one Attack of the Killer Bubbles!

HL, I forgot to mention what a cutie your son is in and among the bubbles!

Yikes! You don't have to be rich to be in DVC...perhaps just good with your money, or even just have differing priorities.

And..hi everyone! Haven't been on here in a while, but since we just booked our plane tickets to go to Disney (our first trip using DVC points!), I've had 'Disney Fever'.

And the questions:

1) Is it worth attaching our paper tickets to our room keys in WDW? Not to me it isn't
2) Will there be complications when we switch to the one-bedroom? With the tickets, if paper, no, otherwise
3) Has anyone else used WDW tickets at DL? nope, sorry

Any advice/suggestions would be appreciated!

I would probably stay paper, but that's me!
I hope you have a wonderful time and it's great seeing you

Thanks, DisnyDi!

We'll be there from the 19th-30th of September. WOOT!

I put it all in for VWL, let me know if you want me to be more specific

Hello Groupies
Wow.... do I need to catch up.....
Hope all is well...
See You Real Soon....

Hope your daughter is feeling better today! It was cold when we were there last month too. All the topiaries were covered with tarps. It was strange to see. Hope it warms up for you & the rest of your trip is magical!

I got my first nasty gram from another disser so I guess I'm an official member of these boards.

Sorry that happened Eliza. It just goes to show you should never leave this thread! Too many meanies out there. It was a ridiculous thing for that disser to say anyway. We are far from rich & getting poorer by the day thanks to all my trip planning! If buying the majority of your wardrobe at TJ Maxx & Target makes me an elitist than I guess that makes me one!

We are going on our first cruise ever this summer. I am a little apprehensive, but it is short (3 nights) and on the Disney Wonder!

Thats great news Dory! I hope you have a wonderful time. We had planned a DCL trip for Dec., but after we added on at VWL we cancelled it. Some day.


Welcome back DLI! Can't wait to hear about the rest of your trip.

Muuska thanks for the compliment on my DS. I think he's pretty cute too! And here's another one for you. Love The Princess Bride!

Hello my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die!

 

[Dodie]

I am LOVING Muushka's signature!!!!

Some people are just so ridiculous and the anonymity of the internet seems to bring out the worst in them.

I'm glad we have a "safe place" here on the Groupies thread.

 

[DiznyDi]

Muushka Love the new signature!

to Eliza Folks can be so mean. Please don't take it personally. Come back here where you're loved!
If you would see me today, you would swear that I shop at Goodwill!

I'm not a witch, I'm your wife!

Another Princess Bride fan here
Di

 

[Muushka]

Hello my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die!

I swear I was going to type that!! Did you know that they sell a shirt with a name tag, you know, the Hello my name is.....and it says Inigo Montoya!

DiznyDi, you are a fan too!!

Sonny, true love is the greatest thing in the world. Except for a nice MLT: a mutton, lettuce and tomato sandwich, where the mutton is nice and lean and the tomato is ripe. They're so perky, I love that.

 

[Disney loving Iowan]

Okay first I just have to say "Inconceivable!!!!"

Muushka I love your new siggie!!!

Eliza I think you should give us the link so we can go over there and let them know what we think!!! After all if you are an Elitist snob so are the rest of us and we should all stick together!

Thanks to everyone who sent moose dust our way before our trip. Our plane in Dallas was covered in ice! I had a really nice b-day . Got lots of b-day wishes and spent all my fun card in one day! DH orderd me a chocolate cake. Yum! Our room was beautiful!!! It was our first time in a 1-br and I don't know how I will ever be able to go back to a studio! Almost got to see the Steelers parade down Main Street. We were standing there all ready when they said they were running late and wouldn't be there for another hour and a half. Since it was our last day and raining we decided not to wait for it. When we took the bus to MK it was hard to see our "home" as we drove by. I saw people waiting on the dock for the boat and was thinking how lucky they were. I do really love BWV though. I think I will go over to the TR thread and write a more detailed report and post some pictures then post the link here.

Have a great weekend!!!!

 

[mickeymorse]

This ones for you HL

 

[mickeymorse]

You will always be safe with us Eliza. Does that mean we are now part of the VWL Elitist Groupies Society now. This means we need a special handshake/greeting.

 

[Muushka]

I love all the little kids in the bubbles pictures! So cute!

DLI, Inconceivable!! Your birthday sounds wonderful.
Sorry you missed the Steelers, and happy you got to FL safely! Yup, those 1BR are great.
