Oh, the humanity!!!!

Rainy, cold, crummy day here in NC. I am off to a neighboring town to take my Black Friday Best Friend to the airport, lucky dog is going on a cruise!

Then it's off to the twin's birthday party.

Not too much longer till the thread killer (Inkmahm) is VWL bound!!
Ooooh, and I see there is a birthday too!

 

[BWV Dreamin]

Me! We'll be there the end of next week. But I have no idea how to upload pictures to the DIS. I'll have my camera along on the trip but won't download pictures until we are back home.

I've been watching the weather forecast for next week and it is about perfect. Only scattered thunderstorms on the day we arrive, the 17th. Our first 4 nights are at AKV though.

Just take the pics, and we will talk you thru how to post them!!!! I so need to see some WVL pics......lucky you! Have a great trip!

 

[Disney loving Iowan]

Hey Dory where are you?! We need a trip report!!! And pictures! Hope you had a great trip!

Inkmahm - hope you have a great trip and birthday!

Good morning Groupies! Here's something fun to look at on a Sunday. I've gotta figure out where to put one of these!

Thanks, everyone! My birthday is actually the 19th so I'll be at AKV, but then at VWL soon after. I'll try to take some pictures while there.

Hey Ink and WD..Would you let me know when you get your D23 stuff and if you really feel it is worth joining..I'm still on the fence! Thanks..

I joined mostly because I wanted the magazine and the membership wasn't that much more. I'm still hoping for some cool discounts or something to go with the magazines. The old Disney fan club membership had a discount with it.

Will do. The silver pin and the plane crazy pin has shipped, but the membership and the tink pin has not.

I purchased the magazine from my local Barnes & Noble and it was over $15 for the mag. Since they are issuing the magazine 4 times per year, that and tax would bring it close to the $75 membership fee. So from that perspective, it seems to be worth it.

Is the membership fee a "one time fee", or must you pay this annually? If not, I guess you still have to pay for the magazines annually at $15/mag?

Hey guys!

For you all heading home soon, don't forget to look for our favorite Hidden Mickey!

 

[Granny]

And since Eliza hasn't been around lately to ask any trivia questions, I'll ask one.

According to Disney, when was VWL "established"?

 

[DiznyDi]

Good Morning Groupies

Inkmahm It's almost time! Have a GREAT trip! Let us know how you celebrate!

Still no Eliza Hope all is well! Sending warm thoughts your way.

Dory must be too tired from her trip. We want to hear all about it!

Those that have joined D23 please let us know what you think. I'm also 'sitting on the fence' and would appreciate any feedback. I did preview the Premiere Issue at our local Disney Store and the magazine has a really upscale look.

Hi groupies. I feel so out of the loop. I'm still not getting any email updates when new posts are added. I've switched my browser to Firefox hoping that might solve the problem. We'll see. I guess the next thing to do will be call my service provider if this doesn't work.

Not much new here. Counting down to DH's big 50 celebration on Sat. I'll finally be able to tell him about our trip. Phew! I'm very proud of myself for keeping it a secret so long. It's so not like me!

Also sending good thoughts Eliza's way. Hope all is well!

Dory can't wait to see some pics!

Have a good day all!

That is pretty cool. I would like to have a VWL themed one!

I don't usually listen to the podcasts but this past weekend they were talking about this. I don't know the guys name but he is hating it! I think it seems to be that he wanted it to be more about the parks than Disney history. He just kept ranting about it for quite some time.

Hey Muushka - speaking of Podcasts, I never got to listen to the one you were on. Could you give me the date you were on so I could find it? Thanks!

I am JUST fine with D23 being about Disney history. It's one of the things I love about Disney.

According to Disney, when was VWL "established"?

Not sure of the date, but it was the pioneers who joined the east to the west by rail. Supposedly, they built VWL and thought they'd keep it there so that others could discover it and realize what a great place it was to build say a Lodge. Something like that, I believe.

Oh, I don't remember the date of the podcast, but I do know that it was the first one. And then I think the third one was Eliza, Blossomz and myself (that was fun!).

WDad...you have the back story down pat, I think! The "established" date is actually posted for public viewing at VWL. I thought someone probably had a picture of it since we pretty much have photographed every inch of this great resort!!

 

[Muushka]

Granny, I didn't check the date, but want to make a guess.

Was it in 1992 or 1993?

Does anyone remember the postcards that WL used to give out? I have one in a beautiful frame.
It is like an artist's rendering, but in color.
