VWL Groupies & Lovers Thread (Special Collectors Edition 2.0) updated 21 June 2023

Have any groupies used the online order app for a counter service? Getting more into our trip coming up in less than a month and see there are now quite a few park locations that are offering this. Could be efficient to do this while waiting to ride a flying lizard! Sounds simple enough but thought I'd see if anyone from here had done it.

We're doing the CS dining plan. Any word if the app will work with the DP?

What I just read said that the only payment is with a credit card. If you are on the DP you need to order with the cashier.

Kathy...I remember reading about that but wasn't sure if we would really need it. We don't tend to eat our meals at the regular meal times but it does sound like a handy tool

For hard to get table service reservations, you guys might want to try out the new Touring Plans.com reservation finder. https://touringplans.com/walt-disney-world/reservation-finder It looks pretty cool and may be a good way to nail down reservations that are tough to get.

Happy Labor Day Folks!!
Now me and CaptainD are going to head off to workNo complaints though, its the kind of work that will pay for a WDW trip

 

[twokats]

DenLo, so glad to hear you folks are doing OK!!
Hoping twokats reports in soon

I too hope twokats is safe. So many in the Houston are are lost so much.

Thanks everyone for worrying about us, but we were totally safe. I am closer to Dallas (and a lot of shelters for the coastal area are up here). I have had a sick grandson and have really not been on the computer much this weekend. I have quite a bit of family in that area and I know at least one of them is safe. Kati has a lot of friends and so far she has found out one got flooded. Our thoughts and prayers for all of Houston and the surrounding areas.

So glad you are OK. I hope your grandson gets better.
Our son and family in Houston are OK. He is now in Refugio where 15-20 of his co workers have lost everything, and have no insurance. He is there to help them, and his company is providing trailers in a town 15-20 minutes away.

bobbi
Hoping your son and his dear family get life back to a norm soon. Prayers for them and co-workers

And now we hold our breathe while Irma shifts around in the Atlantic. Tough timing, but we are all stronger together. Prayers to all, for all, by all.

Looks like we may not be going on Saturday if things don't change. The risk one takes when planning a trip during hurricane season. Haven't really been in vacation mode anyway. I have no right to complain, obviously it's more worrisome to those who live in these areas.

I'm hoping we don't need to change our plans either - but the good thing is DVC will put all our points back without penalty - as long as we call and cancel.

When are you set to arrive?

 

[twokats]

They are saying on the news that some of the things learned in Houston will be implemented in Florida. Glad some good will come of the experience in South TX. Prayers for Florida and all the groupies in that area.
Moose dust, Pixie dust, whatever kind of dust and prayer y'all want to give me for my grandson. This virus (or whatever it is) started two weeks ago today (the second day of school for him - his senior year no less). And he got sick again today. His parents took him to the ER and all they can say, like the doctor did last week, is that it is probably viral. He was a little dehydrated today, so they gave him fluids and a big shot of phenagrin and we do the waiting game again.
I am supposed to be flying to Florida next Thursday in preparation of a cruise on the Fantasy the 16th. Disney has already cancelled the Dream and Fantasy cruises on the 8th, 9th and 11th.

Sending prayers for your grandson

 

[jimmytammy]

Sending Prayers for your Grandson Kathy
And prayers for the folks in Irma's path too.

 

[Granny]

Echoing Jimmy's prayers for Kathy's grandson.

And for all who will be affected by Irma, which has every indication of having devastating strength.

Sunday the 10th -

Have you canceled yet?

 

[twokats]

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers for my grandson. I am hoping he gets better soon.

Also praying for Florida and all that will be impacted by Irma

 

[TCRAIG]

Have you canceled yet?

Not yet - we'll decide by Friday - and DVC will only refund points if National Hurricane Centers declares a warning - which they haven't done yet. How about you?

No not yet. Are you driving or flying?
