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

I was just catching up on the construction thread on the resorts board and looking at this picture again. Did you all notice the board half wall at the end of the new Geyser Point? And that it seems to be open at the top? So, it's a covered seating area but they are walling off the great view of Bay Lake?

I'm very confused.

And then the big stone entry way but not to an enclosed area?

I hope that boarded-up wall is just temporary.
 


Heading to the airport in 8 1/2 hours...looking forward to staying at our beloved VWL. And also looking forward to the Big Honkin' Groupie Meet this coming Monday at TOTW. Safe travels to those who are travelling at this time of the year!

Have a great trip Granny!!!

I'm thinking that I should wander onto an Orlando flight tomorrow instead of the Minneapolis one I'm supposed to get on. That is easy to confuse, isn't it? :rotfl2:

Happens all the time. ;)

JT - I'm asking you because you were the first person I remember pointing it out but really anyone headed down soon. If you happen to go to Epcot to see holiday Illuminations can you see if you can find out what date the last holiday Illuminations will be shown? If I remember correctly they switch back to regular Illuminations before NYE. Every year I say I'm catching holiday Illuminations & every year I don't. :( I want this to be the year! I just need to know how much time I have to try & fit it in. Thanks!

I just saw what you were referring to Kathy. One of the difficulties in erecting a stand-alone building/restaurant that is exposed on all sides in the middle of a nice resort is where to put the "service/waste" area. Based on what I've seen on the other sides of the new building, I'm wondering if they just decided to designate the area of the building you pointed out as such. One would think that location is definitely a prime viewing spot, but in looking at the photo with the half privacy wall and open top, it sure would seem to indicate that maybe it could be a "waste/trash/service" area. Or not:)
 
Isn't it the grab and go area? People coming there in swimsuits, it makes sense to me that it is open.

I can't figure why wall off the view of the lake even if it has open slats in between the boards. But then I thought that was an enclosed seating area.

I have not been able to find the time details for this. When is the Big Honkin' Groupie Meet? What time?
Thank you in advance.

Thank you all! Reading these all made me feel like I just had a party with my friends.party:
 
Completely agree with everyone on yellow! That is not a woodsy color. I also thought the boarded up area must be hiding something unsightly like trash or machinery but why in an otherwise prime viewing location. Hmmmmmm
 
Monday, Dec. 12, TOTWL. Now the hard part: 7 PM; I think. :confused3 Somebody please confirm or correct the time, please.
We're actually meeting before the fireworks, a few of us were going to be there 7-7:30 to secure some tables. Wishes is at 10:00 PM that evening. So come anytime.

So so sad we're missing another Groupie Meet :sad2::sad1::sad:

After reading back and seeing that there may be a spring "Big Honkin" Groupie Meet"
I snag a weekend reservation online for May 5-8 check out on the 9th
at the Polly (our beloved lodge was full) the big guy doesn't even know :rolleyes1
I'll need some special groupie prayers and pixie dust to make this happen.
We are scheduled to drive back to Mass from Florida the weekend before.
Nana needs to get back to babysit :goodvibes
So I might end up flying down solo to make it but enough about me

Have a Magical Meet!! Hugs to you all :jumping1:
