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

[wildernessDad]

Sorry to be such a pest. Okay, so here's the game plan. Please let me know if anyone thinks this isn't a good idea.

I'm going to call MS as soon as they open at 9am. I'm going to request a 2BR dedicated in the atrium.

If that is not possible, then I'm going to request a 2BR dedicated with a lake view, upper floor, near the elevators. Hopefully there are dedicated 2BR's that can accomodate all 3 of those requests, LOL!

You can request the atrium 2-br dedicated. What you will book with MS is a dedicated 2-br subject to availability. I've been lucky that my request for an atrium 2-br was granted two years in a row.

FYI, the atrium 2-br room numbers are 2519, 3519, 4519, 2528, 3528, 4528. The '19' room-numbered villas are on the pool side and the '28' room-numbered villas are on the bus side.

Happy Birthday Muushka!!

Does anyone know if the dates listed for the Mickey Xmas party are final? Looks like the last date is December 18. We are going the week of December 20 and I am shocked they don't have the party through the holiday week.

Happy Birthday Muushka! I hope you enjoyed your special day.

The year we had our GG it began on December 19th, and we were disappointed there were no MVMCP's that we could attend. So, it's possible that what we have is final.

First of all...
Happy Birthday Muushka!

Second....Sorry DN that it isn't working out for you and MVMCP. However, I'm thrilled because I took a gamble when I booked my ressie for November. DH wanted to go to F&WF. I wanted to go for MVMCP. So, I booked a studio at VWL for 11/5-11/11, knowing that would cover the last weekend of F&WF and hoping that I'd get the Christmas party too. I was a bit worried when the dates for F&WF were extended to 11/9 which is a Monday. I knew that in the past that Monday was usually the first date for MVMCP, so I was afraid they might wait a week for the Christmas festivities to start. But, the first date for the Christmas party is 11/10 which is also my BIRTHDAY!! Guess where we'll be celebrating!

Hi Groupies
I've not had time available to visit the board lately.... our daughter is in the hospital with pneumonia.....
Happy Birthday, Muushka! Sorry I missed wishing the best Moose Mom in the world a greeting on your special day. Glad to know you celebrate the whole month!

I'm particularly interested in the discussion of the 2 bdrm villas. We'll be staying in one in May. Do any of the atrium rooms have a view of the lake of is it just pool/bus? I was going to request an upper floor lake view room at check-in. Is it better to have it noted on the reservation?

Dory...I can feel your excitement! Have a GREAT trip!

Happy Belated Birthday Muushka!

From what I understand in the holiday week they have all of the same shows/parades/fireworks but it's during the regular park hours which are extended. It may not be the separate party but you won't have to pay for it, you won't have the MK close down early so that you have to leave on the nights you weren't attending and you still get to see everything!

Our trip will be at the beginning of the parties. After last year I was debating about if we'd go again, but since it will probably be the only Christmas stuff happening in mid-Nov we may do it. Last year they cancelled the Night before Christmas show we were going to see so we felt a bit jipped. We would have had to cancel something else to see one of the later shows so it was really a bummer, esp with what they charge for those tickets.

Thank you all for the Happy Birthday wishes. You Groupies are the BEST!

[Granny]

Oh Barb....I haven't been around and really blew it!

But I'd still like to wish you....

Happy Birthday Muush!!!

 

[Goofy's apprentice]

This time next week we will be at VWL!!! Everyone is getting so excited. all except for me because I have a lot to finish at work before we go and I really feel the stress....however, if it all works out what a great vacatin it will be!

I read back a few pages and see the discussion about the 'atrium' two bedrooms. We do have a dedicated two bedroom reservation. How do the atrium ones differ from the others? Is it just that they are close to the elevator? Is it the view? Different configuration?

 

[MiaSRN62]

Muushka !!! Happy Birthday !!!! Hope you had a wonderful day !!!

[Disney loving Iowan]

Awww, thank you. Funny you said to have a great birthday month. Several years ago, the powers that be (friends and family who bitterly complain about birthdays the arrive on the first of the month) decided that my birthday does in fact, go for the entire month of March. So you're covered!

Why celebrate just one day when you can have the whole month!!!

Hi Groupies
I've not had time available to visit the board lately.... our daughter is in the hospital with pneumonia.....

Hope your DD feels better soon! Please let us know how she is doing!

DORY - Have a great trip and take lots of pictures for us!!!!!

They do have a different configuration which expands the "living room" somewhat and reduces the kitchen to a galley style. There are only a handful of them, but no harm in asking.

Enjoy your trip. It sounds like it will be the perfect break from work for you!

The ones Granny are referring to we rented in 2006 - thanks to our bellman - Larry (who is still there and remembers us!). The units are L shaped - with the two bedrooms being at "opposite corners". Larry told us the next time we rented and wanted that particular type of unit to ask for "2 bedroom, corner, courtyard view" and MS would know exactly what we were talking about. We liked the unit a lot because the living room area did seem larger - and from our balcony we could see (at that time) the water parade. When you walk out of the elevators, go toward the atrium, take a left, and the unit are right in the corner of the first wall that you come to - so they are very close to the elevators.

Hi Granny !

Thank you Granny and everyone. You are all so kind....

DizDi, I hope your daughter gets better soon, poor thing!

 

[Goofy's apprentice]

thanks so much for all the information. We are travelling with two little ones. It has been a while for us since ours are teenagers. The extra living room space may be just what we need. We'll give it a try.

I am counting sleeps to the stress relieving - 4 and then only 2 more to Vacation !!!

 

[rer1972]

Will be home December 6-11 2009. Not sure who is coming with me just yet.
