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

    My last trip to vWL (Boulder Ridge) was mid Feb 2020. Then March happened and I have not been back to Disney since. During that time I have had to cancel 6 trips. Things are looking great now for being able to return to WDW this May. I have all my fingers and toes crossed that there will not be...

    Thank-you! Once all the bans lift and we get the vaccination, it means we can go whenever we wish - albeit with 26 hours of driving each way.

    I just realized that I have been on this board on and off for about 12 years. It always feels like home when I come here.

    Hello Groupies! Well I have finally retired. Two weeks in and am loving it. I had been working from home for the last year before retiring, but it was time. Since Dec in Ontario, we have been in full lockdown with only essential stores allowed to open. Only household members are allowed...

    Congrats Sleepy and Luv on the big move and starting new jobs!:banana::banana: Welcome to all the new groupies, and welcome back to all the groupies that have been away for a while. It is hard to believe how much has changed in my life since I joined this group. When I first came here I was...

    Elevators in Moorea?

    January will be my first stay at the Poly. I have a lake view studio booked. Are there elevators in Moorea? After a long day at the parks, I will not be able to do stairs.

    Well I cancelled my pre-Christmas trip to the world and now have a poly/AKV-Jambo booked for end Jan. I will decide on whether I cancel that trip in the fall. I am really hoping that COVID has died down by then. Otherwise with my immune system it is not worth the risk of going to WDW...

    Loved the old studio decor. I also loved the old AKV studio decor. Now things are white and light and it seems less like Disney theming and more like a regular hotel. I used to love the look of the old bedspreads (I know unsanitary), the patterned carpet (yup another biological nightmare) and...

    Here in Ontario almost everything is closed. Grocery stores and pharmacies are open. For me work continues, though, I can work from home. When I came back from Disney I had a wicked cold (as per normal). My Dr sent me to be tested, as expected I was negative. I always get sick at Disney...

    Back from our trip to VWL. The room was spotless, and we had a LAKE view! The curse is broken; at least for this trip, it was nice not to have the dreaded dumpster view. Of course as everyone mentioned, the Toilet Paper (TP) was awful. When we first joined DVC we used to pack our own TP. We...

    Good morning Groupies! :banana::banana:Doing the single digit dance. Sunday, I check into VWL. I can not wait. Weather forecast is looking hot with many days in the 80's! Meanwhile, I am sitting and looking out my window at the falling snow. I will soon need to go shovel the driveway. The...

    Nope, I have a lovely IPad mini with a broken screen, and I am on my 3rd phone from work, all apple. I do not think they are as strong as they used to be.

    LOL mine is by Mud - Tiger Feet. I did not remember it, so listened to it on youtube. Another site had the number 1 song as Your Sixteen, by Ringo Starr. I like that one better.
