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

[TCRAIG]

So our trip to Disneyland in February is back on. We are gonna make it work. After this is will probably be at least 2 years till we get back to one of the parks. That is gonna be rough.

Make the most of it and enjoy!

Im so glad you folks are going to be able to wing another WDW trip. We all need to get away from time to time, no matter what.

Does Roaring Fork still have flatbread pizzas ? I don't see them on their menu and am hoping they haven't actually disappeared...

Thanks !

I just happened to run across this thread with some nice pictures of the VWL refurb. I know that everyone here has seen it but more pictures are always welcome, right?


VWL Refurb Pix


I have to say it is much better than the last refurb. Someone finally decided that having a little color isn't a bad thing.

Morning, Groupies! Here's your PSA for the day: I haven't gotten a lot of trip additions to be added to Page 1 recently, and that's fine if you'd rather not share; however, if you do wish to be added, just send me a note and I'll happily get you on the page. These things tend to be cyclical, so no big deal--yet, I did want all of you to know that Page 1 does still exist. Just because I don't have any trips planned doesn't mean you don't!

Also, here's hoping each of you are having a wonderful holiday season and wishing you a warm, loving, and memorable Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Christmas, or however you choose to celebrate!

Disneyland trip ok?

Absolutely! And cruises!

@sleepydog25 , you certainly added me quickly. Thank you. Someday I hope to spend at least 3 weeks in a FL DVC property, all in a row, without the trip back up to NJ.

Merry Christmas Groupies! I haven’t been around in awhile, but hope to be moving forward. Blessings to all!

Hello, Groupies, and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all! I do hope it's a good holiday for everyone out there, albeit truly cold in certain parts of the country (like here).

In secondary news, JT and I keep in touch as we're not too far away, and he discovered a little project I've been doing with a former student of mine who just graduated from college earlier this month. As part of his senior project in film and media, he had to do a short film. This student, Logan Ramey, opted to do something a little more adventurous and humorous. He created a short episodic show entitled the Butler...starring Patrick Butler...as the Butler. Yeah, it's that kind of humor. Anyway, JT thought others might get a kick out of them so I'm providing the link to his YouTube channel. He drops one episode each Friday (yesterday was Ep 3), and we enjoyed doing them so much, we did a "special Christmas" episode that he plans to put on the channel tomorrow if he can get the editing done. They're goofy, silly, over-the-top, but in good fun. I hope you enjoy them!

Merry Christmas my dear Groupies! It’s been a busy month since Thanksgiving! I have finally secured a new role after an entire year off! My career break was pretty fabulous, but I am thrilled to say I am working with my former controller at a new company, and best of all, it is part time!

In other exciting news, I just booked our grandson’s first WDW visit at none other than our beloved VWL next Christmas season! Will be sending you a PM Sleepy!

Too know Patrick is to love him! Thanks for sharing these per my request Sleepy. I knew some groupies would enjoy and get to see the SleepyDog I know. He does have a serious bone in him, but this side of him is endearing

So nice that you can see him more often. He had mentioned a project, and I’m happy he shared! I shared it with my friends who had come to HHI in March with me. Tom enjoyed it too.
