A little amusing thing from today - I was riding my bike when I met 2 children, a boy and girl, who were headed home after the school bus dropped them off. The girl who was about 10 was on her cell phone and as I rode past I heard "That's not the way the world works"! 
Ah, they grow up fast now.

My son worked Blizzard Beach as a ticketing College Program CM & he stated that there are "tons" of sunglasses lost every day, mostly on the water slides. On his next visit to EPCOT with my parents he proceeded to loose his Oakleys on Spaceship Earth.
In that so many are turned in, your chances of getting your own pair of glasses back diminishes with every hour passing, however there are so many pairs in the L&F that you'll probably have other options that look almost exactly the same

I seem to remember us also nominating you for the ranger position. That was a few months back. Ranger Rich & Ranger Jimmy would make the perfect tag team! I love it & nominate you both!
DISNEY TRIVIAThis is a day early but.....
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY WILDERNESS LODGEThursday May 28th 1994 Disney's Wilderness lodge opens with 728 rooms. The lodge is modeled on the old National park lodges found in the Pacific Northwest.
lol but we already knew this one....
off to play in Ft Lauderdale and then on Royal Caribbean's "Oasis of the Seas" for 7 days (thanks Julie). I plan on posting a few pictures over on the RC board so if you have a hankering to see what this ship looks like, wander over beginning Saturday.
Kathy, darn it I'm late again. I hope you and dh had a wonderful anniversary and magical wishes for 100 more.
Stay safe, happy and healthy guys.
Have a wonderful time! Can't wait to hear all about it. I want to see a picture of you on the Flowrider!
Happy birthday sechem32 (Liz)
Copying this because it's so cute (as always Maria!).
Happy Birthday Liz!

Congratulations!! You will be very happy I am sure of that. The only problem I can foresee is that when you get back from your first trip in August, the first thing you're going to want to to do is start shopping for another contract. Probably another 150 to 200 points I'm guessing. I believe the disease is referred to is "Add-Onitis". Or something like that. You probably got in at a good time too, if any of the rumors about the lodge are true. Good for you!!

I would feel it an honor to serve along side of Rich as a Ranger, I love the idea of being a tag team. One of us could wear a mask, and the other could be from parts unknown. Sorry, saw tag team and it reminded me of the days as a kid watching rasslin'

Hi All - so excited for our quick trip to WDW before our first Disney cruise. We are staying at VWL for the first time in a studio. Any recommendations on a room request? Thanks!
Happy Birthday Liz!!!!

Ask for close to elevator if you want convenient. Dedicated studios have a bit more storage space, closet near entry door. Lake side has lots of trees (for now at least), and may be more quiet.
Generally though I just ask for a room with clean sheets and a coffee pot that doesn't leak when I make coffee. If I get those I'm a happy guy. Enjoy your stay, it is the happiest place at the happiest place on earth.

Congratulations and given my increasing senility, I don't remember if you've posted before on here or if I welcomed you.
Regardless, you'll love the Lodge (they better not screw it up the next two years ) and welcome aboard!! Getting a reservation for the end of August might just be doable as school will have started in most locations. You might have to take what you can get, though, or be willing to do a split stay.zeferjen: Welcome to you, as well!! We hope you and Lakegirl will visit us often and keep us up-to-date on your trips. Pics always welcome!
As for room requests, I agree with ottowagreg: close to elevators, lakeside, and a higher floor if you want to catch glimpses of the lake. No matter where you stay, you'll hopefully love the serenity. . .if they've not started--cough, cough--construction. Bon Voyajee, eliza! (nod to Bugs) We're heading to our beloved Lodge in 34 days (technically 32 since we'll spend the night halfway down) where we'll stay for two nights before going on our Disney cruise aboard the Dream. I never start thinking about vacation until we're within a few weeks. Guess this qualifies.
