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

[lisah0711]

Not sure what is going on but I have lost my moose...the link is in my signature, it just isn't showing up.

Hmmm, the mystery of the disappearing moose, sounds like a Nancy Drew mystery . . . maybe you need "moose vision" to see it. I can see it on both threads.

 

[Muushka]

No, Dory, no word on the job. I would have thought they would make a decision by now, so I don't think I got it.

I have been slowing reading through this thread....and hoping my wait list would come through. Well it did!! I will be at VWL for my 40th birthday (birthday is in Sept, but can not go until Oct) So I will be solo at VWL Oct 9-12. I am so excited

Well all righty then. Someone who takes the time to read through this thread (you know that this is the 3rd installment and the other 2 are 250 pages each. You have a loooooong way to go!) surely deserves that VWL Moosie siggy! He would look very handsome on you!

Welcome and congrats on the VWL snag!

3rd installment No I had no idea. I guess I have some reading to do (in my best Ricky Ricardo voice)

 

[Disney loving Iowan]

Wirki - Welcome!!!!

Kathy - great picture! I should have my DD enter that. Is it too late?

Good Ol Gal - Great to hear from you!

Blossomz - Heading your way tomorrow! You will have to let me know how you like Kidani.

HappyDinks and horselover---sending lots of positive wishes for your waitlists and HappyDinks that the job comes through for ya !

wirki !!!!





Kathy....great photo !

And a little news of my own...I'll soon be able to be waving to you all from across the Lake----just added on 125 points at BLT today ! We did sell our OKW in order to do it, so that's a little bittersweet, but we are very excited to start some new family memories at BLT.

Congrats on being BLT owners! That's great! Thanks for the good wishes on the job front. You have the BEST graphics.

Muushka - don't give up just yet. If it's anything like around here - one job opening gets anywhere from 200-500 applications - so it just may be them taking awhile to get through all the interviews. Until you actually hear "no thank you" - it's still in play!

Thanks Maria and a big congratulations to you on your add-on! I've been hesitant to share some news of my own since it's not VWL related, but since you've shared this news & I'm busting at the seams to tell. We had an offer accepted this week for an SSR resale. 130 pts. with our UY, a few banked '08 pts, & all '09 pts. We were submitted on Tue. to Disney to hopefully pass ROFR. If it passes I think we're getting a pretty good deal. The last round of incentives for BLT & AKV were tempting, but in the end we decided to go for more pts. into our acct. & less $$ out. We want to stay at all the resorts so the 11 mo. priority wasn't a huge issue for us. It only matters for our beloved Lodge! We should still be able to do a Dec. stay there every 3rd yr. doing banking & borrowing with the pts. we already own. Wish us luck that it passes!

To all that are leaving for trips soon. Bon Voyage! Hope your trips are magical!

Horselover, congrats!keeping fingers crossed for you!

I congratulated Maria on another thread, but I also wanted to ask when is your first trip to BLT? Is there a plan yet????

 

[Corinne]

Did you get the email for the DVC event in Boston next week? We did not receive it, my co-worker did not either. I am not sure I would have been able to attend, but an invitation would have been nice!

 

[DiznyDi]

Hi Groupies

wirki Always nice to have new folks wander in.

Congratulations Maria on your BLT add on and horselover that all will go well and you'll be new SSR owners in no time.

 

[KAT4DISNEY]

Welcome Wirki!!!! Glad you got your waitlist!!!

Kathy - great picture! I should have my DD enter that. Is it too late?

The thread will be open for entries until Sunday night around midnight eastern time so have her enter! The contest subject this week is Mickey so anything with Mickey qualifies. Here's a link to the entry thread and at the top of the photo board you can find a thread with the criteria.

One of the biggest things is to make certain the picture is sized correctly - I've been bumped a couple of times b/c photobucket didn't resize and the pic I posted was too big.

Did you get the email for the DVC event in Boston next week? We did not receive it, my co-worker did not either. I am not sure I would have been able to attend, but an invitation would have been nice!

Do you mean the one that started last night & runs through Sun.? I did get an email about that one & we're planning on attending the Sat. at 10:00 event. I heard others say that didn't get an invitation either. I'm not sure what their criteria was for who got one & who didn't. It should have gone out to all members within a reasonable driving distance IMHO.

Just wanted to share something I saw while looking at job postings yesterday. I have to say it's one of the strangest things I've seen as a job requirement in some time. In the job requirements section it lists various computer requirements & then at the end it say applicant "must be very clean & a non-smoker". I guess those that don't like to shower need not apply!

 

[TammyNC]

I see your moosie, so either you fixed it or it is just not showing to you. I have no help for you...just wanted to say that I see him.

Who knows what is going on...I'm not seeing him but at least others are able to. I sure wouldn't want to get banned for him not being with me.

And a little news of my own...I'll soon be able to be waving to you all from across the Lake----just added on 125 points at BLT today ! We did sell our OKW in order to do it, so that's a little bittersweet, but we are very excited to start some new family memories at BLT.Maria

Congrat's on the pts at BLT!!

Whoops, yes, I meant this weekend! The main reason I would not be able to attend is we are having our son's graduation party tomorrow. I guess my mind was not working! hehe. Please post about it, hope you have fun!

Thanks for the "BLT add-on" congrats DiznyDi, horselover, Corinne, Happydinks and TammyNC !

horselover : We had an offer accepted this week for an SSR resale. 130 pts. with our UY, a few banked '08 pts, & all '09 pts. We were submitted on Tue. to Disney to hopefully pass ROFR.

Mucho pixie dust and well wishes that Disney passes on ROFR ! Keep us posted----I think that's great horselover---more points are always a good thing I wanted to post about my BLT points here because I was talking about it several months ago and Muushka said she'd be willing to organize a Groupie party over in my BLT pad when I finally signed on the dotted line ! So I had to update Muushka on the party plans

And Corinne....don't think we'll use BLT points until 2010. We're already planning on AKV and SSR developer points this summer.


And horeselover, that is way too weird about the job requirements. I could see if they said must be "neat and a non-smoker". But "very clean". That's just too funny.


Maria

 

[LVSWL]

Just checking in from lovely HHI. Welcome to all the new Groupies!
Muushka, still thinking good, positive thoughts for you!!
Maria!! We might be neighbors sometime! We bought at BLT when they first started selling. I am having to hold my DH back from buying more points
We will probably not plan a trip there until next summer. Sorry about your OKW points, but I know you will love the BLT

 

[Disney loving Iowan]

Maria - Congratulations!

Horselover - Good luck and Congratulations!

Kathy - thanks for the info. I'll let DD know about it. She loves photography.

Corinne I never received an email from DVC but saw the thread and called my guide and she sent me the link to register.. We just rescheduled for Sunday at 7pm.

School's out for Summer! (Insert singing here)

In honor of Father's Day the boys & I just recreated DH's favorite place from Disney at home. Goofy's Candy Shop! They each made him a stick of chocolate covered marshmallows with all his favorite candy toppings & we also made a few chocolate covered oreos. Enough candy to give you a good belly ache! The only thing we couldn't recreate were the cute Mickey straws they use to make the marshmallows. Oh well. I think DH will be pretty stoked when he sees his gift.

To all the dads out there:

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!

LVSWL....howdy neighbor ! And that is the same time we are thinking of staying (though I may try and sneak in a short stay before that). But mid to late Aug 2010 is probably going to be our big BLT stay. So maybe I'll see ya there.


Thanks for the congrats teapot and DLI !
