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

[KAT4DISNEY]

....Must stop thinking about add ons!!!!

You'll have to let me know how that's done - we added on at BLT too!

 

[Corinne]

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

Congrats to you!

Addonitis does seem to have a domino effect. Once one tips over they all follow. Love these boards, but sometimes they are a bad, bad thing! But I keep coming back anyway. Love my groupies!

Good Monday Morning, Groupies!

blossomz, Only 1 more sleep! Enjoy your time at the World and have fun on the cruise. Can't wait to read all about it.

Sunny today in Ohio...and NO rain in the forecast.

Have a good week!

 

[KeepSwimmingDory]

Happy Monday morning Groupies! I'm behind so off to catch up on all the last few days' posts. Enjoyed some away time with the family fishing and relaxing with DH extended family. Didn't even bring my computer so I'm catching up now that I got my DS twins off to camp for the week!

Maria, When is your summer trip?

Haven't booked it yet Corinne....but for 2010 we'll most likely be looking at around Aug 14-25 (in that time range). It will be at BLT as we're using our AKV points this year (also going mid to late Aug). This time frame works for us because our one daughter starts classes at FSU on Aug 24.

DLI : Any idea when the Spectrum is coming down?

Hi DLI ! In the fall I'm pretty sure. We were just talking about it a couple weeks ago at work. I think the last entertainment/sports event will be Sept 30.

If you need an exact date I can try and search some local news sites. Let me know....if I find out I'll post.


So sad....I remember going to concerts at the Spectrum as a teen.

Thanks Maria! That's okay I don't need an exact date right now. I was just wondering if it was going to happen while I was in Pa. The Spectrum was a big part of my growing up years. Went to alot of events there. Especially Flyers games. It will be sad when it comes down.

Hope everyone has a good Monday!

Happy Monday Groupies

I hope all the Groupie Dads had a Great Father's Day You're a special group of guys

Teapot, would love to hear about your experience at the DVC event! Have fun!

Hi Corinne..We went last night 7pm to the Boston DVC Vacation As you Wish event...
We had a Fun Time... it was a cute show and fun to see Mickey and Mickey Fans here at home... they had some really cool give aways. My favorite is our new DVC Ears...
We went knowing that we would not and could not add on... (we have added on 3 times already ) and Boy was it so hard to walk away..but we did..
The deals were unbelievable..and they were focused on BLT but after speaking to the guide they also applied to AKL, GVC, SSR, and they had other
deals on all the other resorts BCV,VWL, BWV....these rates were very competitive with resale rates.. only it would be a done deal ASAP...
Well maybe next time

Can you tell me what the deals where that they offered on BWV, BCV, VWL? This is the first I have heard offering incentives on sold out resorts. Thanks for any info you can remember!

Huh? We went on Sat. & there was no mention of other deals to be had except BLT. They did mention you could still buy SSR, AKV, & GCV, but really pushed the BLT. They did not say if you speak to a guide you could get info on add-ons at other resorts. Had I know there were other options available I might not have gone the resale route. Too late now. I guess I really better hope my contract passes.

 

[KAT4DISNEY]

Good Monday to the Groupies! Why is it that weekends seem to fly by at light speed and weekdays only sub-light? Considering that all time has picked up in the past few years I guess I should be happy that something is still a little slower!

Kat4Disney Congrats on your BLT purchase!!!!

Thanks Corinne!

Congrats to you!

Thanks! And ain't that the truth!!! Must..stop..reading..trip reports, add on's and incentives! Any word on your ROFR yet? Hope you don't have to wait long.

Deals on the sold out resorts? See - this is what I was talking about above and then I saw your post while I was writing!!! The one other thing I was talking to my guide about was a few BCV points. If I could have gotten a deal there would have been a few of those too with the BLT! Then I'd be done - I swear!!!!

LOL, Maria, I was wondering why I had not heard about your summer trip! It is NEXT summer!

Hi Teapot, glad you had fun! I WOULD LOVE to buy at BLT or BCV, but I do not see it happening any time soon.....

No news yet, but it's only been a week. I do have other news though that I know you'll sympathize with. My horse is lame. He's been off & on since Wed. of last week. I thought it might just be he was sore from doing things he hasn't been asked to do before. He was ok on Sat. & Sun., but lame again today. I suspect it could be a hock issue. Not what I want to hear right now. The vet will be out tomorrow.

Oh no! I can completely sympathize - I've been going thru lameness issues with my 18yo paint for the last year. He has arthritis but also keeps getting out of hip alignment which is causing problems. There may be something more but that's what the vet and chiro have come up with. And today I find DH's horse has a good cut on his LH hoof - from kicking in his pen. At least he doesn't seem to be lame but I haven't done more than watch him walk.

I hope that it just ends up being soreness or a strain so he feels better soon and you can keep on riding and showing!

Hi everyone,

Pls forgive me if this has been asked before. Just wanted to know if there are limited views for studios at VWL. Are all the VWL studios facing the parking lot for example, or are there some facing the trees, the lake, and so on and so forth? I would like to request a studio that faces the trees or the lake, but not sure if that was a possibility. I do understand that requests are never guaranteed.

This is our first stay at VWL and it will be DH's bday while we are there so I'd like to take a chance in making it extra special... How nice would that be to drink coffee in the morning in a balcony facing nature... Oh, wait, studios at VWL all have balconies, too, right?

Thanks in advance!

 

[Corinne]

You certainly can request a woods view. We had a great studio last summer, it was a woods view and you could see the lake through the trees! Other's on this thread know much more than I do about the rooms at VWL, so I am sure they will chime in. Be sure to mention your dh's bday when you check in! Have a magical time!

Here's a floor plan of the villas.

I probably would stick with simply requesting a wood toward the lake. I like being a little high up but that's just my personal preference.

Enjoy!!

5th floor, Eliza?

And today I can just call MS again and mention my reservation # and then ask them to put notes on my ressie regarding the view request, right? As simple as that?

We had #3543 and it was great!! I emailed my requests in thru dvcmember.com, and all my requests were met! I would suggest doing this.
