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

[DisneyNutzy]

Hi groupies!

I have a question for all of you. Who is the guru of rental car codes? We will be renting a car for our trip to Vero and SSR in July and I can't remember where I found the excellent American Express/Dollar rental car code that turned out to be a great deal last time we were in the world. Is there any place that you groupies regularly look for super rental car deals?

PS. Muushka, my birthday is February 14th . Would you add me to the groupies birthday list, please?

Here is another site I forgot to post : http://www.rentalcodes.com

 

[Muushka]

My birthday was February 4. I got a present, one year older.

WD!! Happy belated birthday! I am getting the same thing for my birthday!!! (oh, and a new laptop!)

Hi all!

August 31st here!

Gotcha!

January 25 is DH's birthday as well. He doesn't post on the DIS though.

I'm glad I reread this, I misunderstood. I didn't put hubby's down, but we hope it was happy!

 

[Muushka]

OK Groupies.....we need help! Mr Muush and I are becoming cruising junkies. He really really wanted to do another cruise this spring, so my job, because I chose to accept it, was to find a great deal for him (and I will force myself to go too ). So, I'm poking around on the internet, pretty much disregarding DCL (too expensive) Carnival (no desire) RCCL (too expensive) and so on.

We like Celebrity, so I started looking at them. We hate to cruise out of FLL or Miami, but for Caribbean, that's where we had to go. Well, low and behold we find a 5 nighter out of Miami (we did this cruise in 2006). Great deal on a Sky Suite!! But hesitated booking because we hoped they would get cheaper (899 each for a suite is not bad). Today I look it up and find a ROYAL SUITE for 999!!! We're talking butler, 510 sq ft cabin with a 130 sq foot balcony! A separate living room, 2- 40" LCD tvs, dining room table, which they will set for us to eat our meals in the cabin!!!
Harmon Karden home theater system, jacuzzi, marble bath........AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Can you tell we are psyched!!!

PS it is our 17th wedding anniversary, coincidentally, while we are on the ship!!!

Just had to tell my buds.

What a nice anniversary present to yourselves. Would love to see some pics when you return.

Got it! I am so impressed that you do the Goofy challenge. I wish I could do something like that!



Sounds like a great, fun wedding.


Good deal!

"I do not think that means what you think it means"



Great! Our first THV booking!



Wow, a real live moose.

I figured out we have mice in the garage. Don't tell Mickey, but they are slowly being eliminated.....I would rather have a Moose in the yard.

All the birthdays have been added. The list is on the first page below the trips. The birthdays are easy, they won't change!

I am not sure if I will be able to do it. I only started running about 4 years ago. I am totally addicted to it. My first 1/2 was at WDW and then I did the Ottawa 1/2. You can not compare the races at all. What other place can you go to and get cheered on by such wonderful characters. I am doing the Disneyland 1/2 in September. My name is Nancy and I have an addiction to Disney races and medals!

Can you tell I'm extremely jealous! Just kidding (sort of)! That's is so fantastic. I hope you have a wonderful time. When is this magical cruise happening?

 

[DiznyDi]

Looks like I share my Birthday with Dizney Di and Teapot. Muushka you can put me down for what seems to be the most popular groupie Birthday - April 18

Wish I could celebrate with you, but my birthdays not until the 23rd. Though I would love and welcome any groupies to join me so I don't have to celebrate alone.

Wonderful Muushka Keeper of the Lists, could you please make the correction.
And, WOW, that is some trip you're planning! What a way to celebrate your anniversary. Our very best wishes to you and Mr. Muush! What's the date?

Happy Belated Birthday WildernessDad What a unique gift. I guess you got it whether you wanted it..or not.

Do we have a picture of the moose in the back yard? The most unusual critter I've had in my back yard is a beaver. I'd rather have your moose than my beaver anyday. I don't think I've ever seen a real, live moose. Only the head hanging on the wall at our local park's Boy Scout cabin. I thought it was impressive when I was growing up, now I feel very badly for the poor dear moose.

I think your addiction is much healthier than mine! You go girl!

April 20th and the anniversary is the 25th. We are going to USF/IOA on the Sunday before.

Thanks for keeping those B-days straight!

Wow! We'd like to try Celebrity sometime. That sounds like an amazing trip and quite a good deal.

 

[Mom2BCCC]

WOW. We just returned from a 4 night stay at VWL. I had read much of the praise on this thread and others but I must say it is even better in person than all the hype! I usually lurk, but VWL is worth coming out of my shell to gush over.

Despite the COLD we had a great time. The group included myself, my DS8 and DD3 and my brother, SIL and two nieces ages 2 and 5 (turned 5 on the trip). We were in a 2BR Rm. 3545. We faced the lake (through the trees). I have nothing to compare it to, but was pleased with the location (I did not request anything specific).

We arrived about noon and the room was ready. It was in great shape. No complaints at all. The CMs went out of their way to be friendly and accomodating. I'm hankering to go back already. I'd love to explore the grounds and walking trails. We have an August trip coming up at VB and BCV. I might try to convince DH to switch!

You groupies have great taste.

Oh and there were two baby ducks in the pool (practically the only ones brave enough to swim in the 55 degree weather). My DD thought they were the best attraction of all. So cute!

Thanks for all the info leading up to our trip.

[blossomz]

Well..I think you should grab a signature and join our little band of groupies! We always welome new buddies!

 

[DiznyDi]

Mom2BCCC

Yes, please do grab a moosie and join us. Momma Moose, Muushka has the instructions posted on page 1.

Thanks for telling us about your trip. Wish the weather could have been a little better for you. There's always the hot tub.....

You fit in great. Love the hankering! Where in Mass are your from? I'm a Barbara formerly from RI.
I'm glad the hype wasn't greater than the Lodge. We get a little passionate around here about our beloved.

fellow MA VWL lover! Yes our Lodge does tend to induce a feeling of longing to be back there again. I won't be staying there during my next trip, but I have a sneaking feeling I might just have to take a little drive over there. So glad you enjoyed it. Sorry you didn't have better weather. That's a good excuse for another trip!

 

[horselover]

Muushka - can you change my trip info for May from SSR to BWV please? I was able to switch our studio at SSR to BWV so we'll be at BWV for the entire stay. Thank you oh keeper of the lists!

Glad you had a great time. I'm partial to it also.

Ok that's it. I'm offically hog tying the old guy and getting him on the boat. Since you've got a butler I think you must have a cabin girl!! Sacrifices must be made so I graciously volunteer.

Way to go.

When are you going? What ports. I have to live through you.

Ports? You think we will be getting off the ship??

Um, Key West and Grand Cayman. Yup, just checked.
2 sea days. Yum. The ship leaves 4/20. Eliza, get the old guy down there for it! We can host dinner in the suite!! And no, you will not be our butler girl.
