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

[DisneyNutzy]

Our first 2 nites are at POP. I was good with that at first, since we are saving a bunch of pts for the summer trip, but now I'm feeling some angst at not getting to go straight to the Lodge.
Good Luck with the softball team and let us know how it goes.

I wanted Pop for the first few nights but our travel agent couldn't get the entire group in there so she bumped me and a few of the other guys to All Star. Great customer service..lol..I am doing all the work with her and she bumps the coach from his request. I can't complain since our sponsor is paying for those nights. My wife is coming in for the weekend when I move to AKL. We had booked at Beach Club for 2 nights but I realized I would have had to move again for Sunday night and 3 moves in one trip was too much. Beach Club didn't have the AP rate available for Sunday so I switched to AKL for 3 nights for less (144 a night) then it was costing for 2 nights at the Beach Club.

I will have my laptop so if we get eliminated early I will advise.

Muushka.....

Jen...these really are some wonderful photos!

I look forward to "borrowing" them often!

If you ask I would be more than happy to email one or two of them to you. I have them protected on the smugmug site - might be a bit difficult for you to "borrow" them from there.

 

[MiaSRN62]

DVC Jen....your photos are awesome......

 

[blossomz]

Hi Everyone!! A great big Moosie Welcome to all of our new groupies!

Muushka..sounds like you are enjoying our home. I am still having withdrawal!

We went back to school Monday-after almost 2 weeks off. That was tough..especially after that beautiful Florida weather and a trip home!

Today we are expecting ice! Whoopee!

LOVE all of the photos! Keep em coming!

Oh my gosh! We visited the Lodge on January 1st and DH would have been devastated if the Christmas decorations weren't there. That's all he talked about on the way to the lodge!

We can't book yet, but our '09 trip to VWL will be December 12th to 16th. Because it starts on a Saturday, I'm undecided to go with a studio or 1 bedroom. Are there 1 bedroom VWL groupies here? We've only been in studios here, but in dedicated 2 bedrooms when we've had family with us.

Bobbi

They took it down Saturday, the 3rd. Can you believe that? I would have hauled my butt over here from BCV to be sure to see it had I known. I was here Jan 10 in 2001 and it was still up. Oy!

Did you say any 1 BR VWL Groupies?? As we speak! That is all I can get Mr Muush into when we stay here!

Will you post if you get your dates, otherwise, consider yourself added!

Granny Looks like you and Dory are the SNL fans.



ME TOO.... ME TOO..
Called yesterday... thanks to everyone ... that pixies dust works
Dec 5-11 /1 BR / VWL.. Going Home for Christmas Can you add us to the list Muushka? That's going to be one great Groupie Week



Welcome you'll love it here. This is a great Moose Loving Bunch

TP! You were easy, same as me!!

Thanks for adding me to the vacation dates list!
It's been a particulary bad day or so at work so coming here at lunch to see pictures of the lodge makes me feel a bit better. Thanks, everyone!

It was my pleasure. I hope your week gets better.
The rocking chairs here at the VWL Groupie are sure comforting, aren't they!

Oh Muushka....honestly didn't realize they took the trees down that quickly ? Is this new ? Could have sworn they stayed up at least until the first week of Jan ?

Maria

We keep learning, don't we! Yeah, they still have them up at Beach Club and Dixie Landings, but not at VWL. What did they smoke when they came up with that schedule??

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcomes! Just wondering though - is there some reason I don't rate being added to the trip list on the first page

Just to recap from my original post - will be there 11/29 - 12/4

Finally I am all caught up from being away and DD is off the computer for once so I was able to catch up on all I missed. Just want to thank everyone again for the good thoughts and prayers that worked to let my sister bring her daughter up to my parents for Christmas. We had a really nice time. My niece and DD are both only children and have never had the joy of spending Christmas morning with a brother or sister. So we let them share a room so they could wake up together and they were awake at 4:30 in the morning! It was a great Christmas and trip home.
Muushka - sorry I didn't get to talk to you before you left. Hope you are having a great trip!!!!
Blossomz - Glad you had a great time and thanks for the pictures. Sure would like to see the castle like that someday.
Eliza - Thanks for starting the new thread!
Welcome to all the new groupies! We sure have gotten alot of new groupies lately. It's great to have all of you!
Thanks to everyone who has contributed such nice pictures!
Okay now that I am caught up I hope I can keep caught up! At least for the next three weeks till we head south!

Love, love, love my onebedroom villa for the two of us.
If you have the points, I say go for it.
The extra room in the bathroom area is well worth it!

Welcome Gator!

Hi Groupies! Wow - the new thread is growing fast!!!!!

I have a question about a 1 bedroom reservation. I have one booked for next Nov and got to thinking about how there are dedicated and lock-off one bedrooms at the Villas. Is there some way it is indicated on the reservation what you have? I didn't ask for anything specific when I reserved.

I think the best thing to do is ask for a dedicated as you are checking in. To put in on the ressie, since it isnt a priority, doesnt seem to have much affect. At least that has been my experience.

You've got my dates right Muushka ! Thank You !!!

Me, me!!

We'll be in a 1 BR in 10 more days!!! I also booked a 1 BR for Dec. This next trip will only be my 2nd DVC trip so I don't have too much to compare it too. DH & I stayed in a studio at OKW during F&W. It was fine, but I don't think it would work if we had the kiddos with us. The next trip will be the true test as there will be 4 of us in a 1 BR. I'm sure it will be fine for our needs. I'm also bringing a twin aerobed with me so I don't have to listen to "his feet are on my side!". I'll let you know how it all works out. Good luck with your ressie.

Happy Rainy Wednesday Groupies.
Bobbiwoz We are dedicated 1 bedroomers mainly because Sid & Rizzo are both over 6ft tall and "The old guy" and I pretty much live on the road to Heftdomville so we need the space.

Welcome Gatordoc! We're a fun loving bunch, the more the merrier!!

Horselover: I'm so jealous!! Have a great trip. You've got to be tired of the snow, seems like the New England got hammered.

Hey guys, does any one know what the Resort Reservation Availabity thread is for?

 

[cheer4bison]

It's nearly noon and I'm getting hungry. Instead of eating the ham sandwich I brought from home, I'd really rather get a yummy salad from here...

Anyone care to join me?

If only virtual snacking were possible...

 

[spiceycat]

Hey guys, does any one know what the Resort Reservation Availabity thread is for?

so Disers can know what is not available.

won't stop me from trying - but hey when someone comes back and complaints that there time was not available - they should look first.

Thanks That was taken up by the concierge lounge. I took it the day we were flag family. We were told by Stan to help ourselves to breakfast when we were done with the flags. We spent a little while there - taking pictures and just relaxing.

Thanks....hummm....does that mean if we're not the flag family (however THAT works ) or staying in concierge (never gonna happen) that this general area would be off limits for us to look for it???

I think so.

It is really pretty easy to be flag family.

When you check into the lodge ask about it. My head is really fuzzy right now and my brain is not thinking right but the area of the front desk (someone help me out here please. ) closest to the mercantile has the book to sign up for a day. If one of the mornings of your stay is not yet claimed - it can be yours.

So - it is best to request it when you check in . We have done it several times it is a great experience.
