VWL Lovers & Groupies thread: It all started with a Moose

Granny

So glad you were spared any damage from storms. I dont watch much news, so just became aware of this. Love your pics!!

 

[Inkmahm]

Inkmahm, any news from your husband? Hopefully he is enjoying good health.

**********************************

Still straining the urine and still no stone. He thinks it is floating around in his bladder but who knows? He sees his regular doctor tomorrow. I can't imagine they won't scan him again to see what is going on in there. The good news is that he hasn't had pain so he hasn't had to take the Vicodin. I'm off for my out of town job assignment again this morning so I'm hoping that DH will be okay while I'm away.

Looking forward to first time stay this summer at VWL!!

Is this Roaring Fork restaurant?

Thanks very much!

If you're referring to Granny's pic taken of the outdoor, umbrella-ed tables, then technically the answer is "no." However, I do believe those particular tables sit right outside the door leading to Roaring Fork. Step inside those doors, and you are in a hallway staring at the Roaring Fork entrance.

Yes Roaring Forks is the quick service place. Very good food but it is small and can get crowded. Dont let that stop you though they are pretty quick.

OT
During my past visit to Florida I had the pleasure of spending some time with my daughter at work.
When we arrived very early in the morning in the parking lot
I Could hear some very loud Bird calls
and instantly I thought Kevin??? (OK all you UP fans You know what I'm talking about )
I asked her what was that she said Oh it's the Peacocks!
The school my daughter teaches at in Tampa was originally a Peacock Farm.
These birds still live there and just stroll along the grounds.
This guy just finished the most beautiful display and little dance
to which one of the kids age 3 told me it was because he wanted to "Marry
Her" pointing to the female on the other end of the playground.

But Look at his head... I think they must of used a peacock for UP because he sure looks and sounds Like Kevin

My daughter's comment on this was "Do you always think in Disney"
(OK tag fairy I'm waiting for you!)

Hi Granny:

We really enjoyed BLT. It has a nice feel to it...much more laid back than we anticipated. Of course, the Contemporary next door is like Grand Central Station up on that 4th floor with the monorail, multiple restaurants, lounges and shops. But there are virtually no amenities at BLT of their own except the lounge on top and the swimming pool...both of which were very nice.

Thanks for your feedback on BLT. From what I read it appears to be a very relaxing resort. After a day at the parks, it's a good place to be and unwind. I bet the view from the lounge is magnificent, especially during the fireworks.

Hi DiznyDi:

Thank you one and all for your most kind birthday wishes and for the awesome graphics that accompanied them! I feel so special...and so blessed to have each and every one of you as my cyber buds. Hopefully, in time, I will have the pleasure of meeting each of you in person and become better acquainted.

You are welcome! I hope you had a beautiful birthday and fantastic weekend!

Trish, thanks for taking over while our Momma moose celebrates her anniversary. You're doing a wonderful job in her absence.

You are so sweet and thanks so much for the kind words! It was an honor to take care of the birthday announcement since Momma is on a cruise right now. I enjoyed doing it and happy to be a part of this awesome thread!

Thanks for the update on DH and sending him good vibes for his doctor's appointment tomorrow. Please keep us posted and have a safe trip.

Hi teapot:
Your pictures are beautiful! I can't wait for vacation! Nice photos of the Peacock. I bet the kids enjoys watching them perform.

My daughter's comment on this was "Do you always think in Disney"

Love it.

YES.


That would be my response.


My DW always says, when speaking about me, that there's always a reference to be found in my responses to questions or the like, in throughout daily life, that can be traced back to either Disney or "I Love Lucy". So again I say - YES.

 

[sleepydog25]

Nice pics, teapot. My DSO often thinks in terms of Disney, so I'm used to it. I usually don't (she thinks enough for us both! ), but during my hike yesterday, VWL music kept popping up in my head. I'll post a few pics of the hike tomorrow along with the tunes I was humming.

Oh JOY! Just got the note from the Timeshare Store that we closed on our VWL add on! Yippee kay ay!

Everything else about this resale went so quickly and smoothly up to the sellers returning their closing documents, and I was starting to think unkind things about them for dragging their feet two inches in front of the finish line. All's forgiven now!

Anyway, we do truly love AKL, but VWL and Wilderness Lodge have been our favorites ever since they were built, and now we are finally really truly owners!

Time to celebrate!

 

[DiznyDi]

Welcome Home skylynx

 

[skylynx]

And as soon as we get our Colorado "Wilderness Lodge Junior" built and have bathrooms for y'all to use, we will have that big barbecue and picnic I promised!

Here's a picture of our front yard!
