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

[DiznyDi]

30 day countdown starts tommorrow!

Does anyone know if the VWL 2 bedroom units have DVD players yet???

We returned May 9th and stayed in room 2545 - a dedicated 2 bedroom. We did have a DVD player.

 

[ajseagles3]

We were in 2508 (also a dedicated 2-bedroom) from May 9-15 and also had a DVD player.

I love being in that front section of villas - nice short walk from the elevator!

OK groupies...I think I am going to disown my traveling companion relatives!!!!

We have had this trip planned for months...yesterday I received a call from my aunt that that their son, a freshman in college failed his Alg 2 class and has to retake it during this summer term...it doesn't end until the middle of our trip...so now..we are scrambling to find something DVC for the week after starting on the 30th of June!!!! Of course I didn't hear for sure today until DVC was closed so now I have to try to get right on it at 9 AM tomorrow morning..in the middle of my classroom! PLEESE send pixie dust that either VWL or AKV are available!!!!!!

I am going crazy!!!:

OK groupies--I'm 25 hours from leaving my house. I must get serious about packing.

LOL - now it's my turn to say - Get Packing! I do not recommend the pack until 12:30 am and get up at 3:45 am before leaving for WDW so do as I say, not as I did!!!!! Have a great trip!

I can soooooo sympathize! I was scrambling to change ressies 5 weeks before our trip for my sis and BIL. SSR or OKW was it for availability if they didn't want to do a split stay with part of the original ressie. I'm still in recovery mode from the travel with my dear beloved family. Honestly - I love them, but honestly - I don't think there's any way we're really related! Here's the pixie dust that you get what you want.

Once I get caught up I'll share a few pics from our trip - we had a great stay at AKV and VB. As I feared, I am now very spoiled by concierge!!

I FEEL YOUR PAIN!! Every year I say I am not going to be the planner because of these things happening. There are always 7-8 people going in our group and we stay in a 2BR unit. My least favorite is when we initially decide to get the dining plan, then it never fails that someone decides right before we go that they cannot afford the dining plan. Sooooo.....the rest of us either have to help them out, alter ADRs (for 8 people at the last minute), or just go the cash route. ARGHHHHHH.... Because I always take care of everything, no one else realizes how complex planning these trips is.

LOL - now it's my turn to say - Get Packing! I do not recommend the pack until 12:30 am and get up at 3:45 am before leaving for WDW so do as I say, not as I did!!!!! Have a great trip!


30 days out and everything is already layed out! lol.

Coming your way!

That's how I feel about 1 BRs now. I'm not sure I can stay in studios anymore. Well I suppose if it was a choice between not going at all or staying in a studio I might be able to force myself. I don't dare stay in concierge!

Ah relatives, you gotta love them!! which is why my signature has the tag it does.

Oh yeah I hear ya. I've always loved that tag in your siggie!

Thanks for all the positive thoughts on my Dec. w/l. I'll just have to be patient & hope for the best. Patience is not one of my virtues unfortunately!

 

[DiznyDi]

Have a GREAT trip, Dory!
Today's the day! Sure hope you have better weather next week than what Florida is currently experiencing.

blossomz I so feel your frustration. Been there... done that...won't do it again. and coming your way. Let us know how this works out.

Hi Kathy Glad you had a nice trip. Do I see an add-on in your future? Someday I hope to stay concierge.... Wish we had the option to use our points for concierge at WL.

Craiggers You must be a glutton for punishment! Dizny Dad and I are really looking forward to our December trip when it will be just the 2 of us. We have had either friends or family on our last 4 trips. We enjoyed our trips, but ......

I agree! If you ever have time to kill, do a whojackie google and see the rabbit hole that episode had (2 years in the making).

Speaking of meets, what plans will we have for December???

Anyone interested in a White Elephant gift exchange??

 

[wildernessDad]

Sad news that you may have heard.

Wayne Allwine, the voice of Mickey Mouse, has died at age 62, apparently from complications due to diabetes. He died two days ago, May 18.

Does this mean you're willing to organize?
You can count Dizny Dad and myself in for a meet and the gift exchange.

Sure, I'll organize .

You realize I said "White Elephant" gift exchange, right?

I'm in. I'm stuck in good ole NJ for december but I'll mail the bugger to your room. If I can figure a way to shrink wrap & package myself I may make it.

 

[Dizny Dad]

That is sad.

You mean "White Moose", right?

Dory have a great trip!!!!

Blossomz how did it go?

I have a bit of a dilemma. For our trip in Sept. we are renting points. Because of that we can't make our ADR's through DVC ourselves. I'm a bit leary of going through the regular channels because of free dining and all the bad stories I've been hearing on the other threads. The woman we are renting the points from is willing to make our ADR's for us. This would be hard for me though because I want the control of when the reservations will be. What do you all think. Let go of some control and let her make them anyway or make them myself and just be prepared to be on the phone for awhile and a large phone bill?

 

[Disney loving Iowan]

Muushka - Can you believe they cancelled Earl?!

Muushka Do you know if you can watch the Earl episode on line
or is that what the rabbit hole episode is? (sorry for the stupid question)

and Groupie meet / Moose exchange I'm In do or die this time!

A big thanks for always stepping up to be momma moose.

I think I would make them myself... do you know anyone that may have a phone package plan with unlimitted state wide calling? maybe they would let you use their phone and I often find that if you call 1hr before they close the line is not busy..
Best of luck and pixie dust
