Bunnies and mooses and groupies, Oh my!!! The Wilderness Lodge groupies thread. 4.0

Happy Sunday, Groupies! I can always count on a smile when I sign on here and read the posts to catch up.

Without going back to quote, my thoughts are:

hi to Berta and I love Artist Point!

not sure what to think about the half metallic SEVEN chick but it did make me laugh....also Muushka is right--that would make a funny tag

great idea about calling him sTeven and claiming ignorance

no idea on room requests--sorry and hope someone else can help you CruznLexi.

Haven't seen Alice and Wonderland yet...glad you liked it blossomz. One of my sons is a big fan of the animated version and would love to see it but we had too busy of a weekend to go.

So there you have a few random thoughts from the ADD mind of Dory. haha

Muushka...The special effects...the music, the 3D the story! Loved the whole package! Found it very absorbing! JD threw in a bit of Jack, a bit of Willy, and even a bit of Sweeny here and there! Some parts were really funny...others exciting!

 

[Muushka]

Well that sounds like something I would enjoy! Thanks!

 

[DVCGeek]

Would you be willing to sign something official stating that you understand the terms of our contract??

To be official, does it need Mickey's by the sig. line?

At least form the non-metallic side she was pretty cute though...

Loved it too ! Saw it in 3D as well. Visually beautiful......and yes, the Hatter, did seem to go in and out of different character/voices ! I was in a packed theater and most everyone applauded.

Alice looked so strange to me (previews). Why does JD do that to his beautiful face?

So, tell me, Blossomz, why did you like it? Would I like it?

Just kidding. But seriously, what did you enjoy about the movie? I love movies!

Thanks every one for cheering me up. Went to see Baby Christopher (AKA seven) this weekend. Like all babies he's a dream. Mom is a bit bummed out that no one else seemed to appreciate their Vegas humor. Maternal grandmother absolutely refuses to entertain calling the kid seven. Thankfully he has a normal middle name Christopher (after his dad/my brother). My dad gave the kid a savings bond with S. Christopher Jackson on it. and that seems to be the way every one else with half a brain will call him.


Saw Alice this weekend. Loved it!! Visually stunning, I saw the non 3d version. While the plot is not particularly strong, I thought the actors were fantastic for their roles. The mad hatter, white queen and red queen were excellent. Alice was a great character, I'm not a fan of the "wimpy, whining" heroine that some times is popular with young women. This Alice was great.

Maria is your daughter still at UCF?? This is what happens when your DD goes to College in a beautiful place they stay.

Hi teapot ! My daughter is at FSU (Tallahassee). She is giving up temps in the 70's to be here at home for spring break in PA with temps in the 50's. But we're LOVIN' the 50's. I actually opened the windows in my house yesterday and plan to again this afternoon when we hit 55 !!!! HEAT WAVE IN PA !!! It's been 2 months since I've seen her and enjoying every minute we're planning to share this week. Have an awesome time in St Pete !!!


eliza...congrats to your whole family !!! Have fun visiting SEVEN (aka George !). And I agree with your comment about Alice. She was a very strong and heroic character in this version. Tim Burton movies are just awesome. Definitely a bit of a darker version of the animated cartoon movie. And someone mentioned about the ending scene where she is on the boat and it being named the Wonder----missed the name part. Makes me want to watch it again.

Well I think that sounds like a good go-foward. Even dropping the S and just going with his middle name like you did above is good too. But then, of course, I'm a bit partial to the name Christopher myself.

Good morning groupies! Just dropping by to say 3 more days!!!! Not that I'm too excited or anything. Lots to do, lots to do. If I could just nail down the weather forecast I'd be able to start packing.

Have a great day everyone!

Like the middle name and thanks for adding to the Alice info that blossomz gave us. After reading those and Maria's comments I definitely want to see this movie!

Enjoy every minute with your daughter and glad you are getting some better weather!

So excited for you! Hope the 3 days fly by and the trip days go long and slow and full of fun!

Happy trails!

Playing up Christopher sounds like a great way to handle it; Winnie the Pooh characters are always popular with kids. Be better if the last name where Robin, but take what you can get! Anyone buy him a plush or two for that theme yet? DW & I have always been partial to Tigger since we were kids...

Have fun to all those traveling or who will be soon.

I am putting out a request here, to my fellow groupies, for a friend of mine who develops the DVC Planner app for the iPhone and iPod touch. He needs free and clear pictures of the following resorts.

Saratoga Springs Resort
Vero Beach Resort

They cannot be any official Disney pics, just pics that you have taken and are willing to donate. He will give you full credit for them on his website if he uses them. Please PM me if you are willing to donate said pictures free and clear and I will give you his email address. Thank you!

Glad to hear this! I can't wait to see it this Friday with DD!!!
Christopher is so much better than Seven!!!

HL and Stopher so excited for you! Hope you have a great time!

Christopher is a great name. Of course, anything is great compared to Seven!

I'm taking a break from job hunting although have to get back to yet another job application that I need to complete this afternoon. Last week wasn't so great so I'm hoping for better this week. So far, it's going much better. I have several calls/meetings scheduled for this week. And next week I leave on Wed for WDW so I know a break is near. 10 more days until sun and warmth!

S Christopher...sounds much better Eliza!!

HL and Stopher...have a wonderful trip home!

Speaking of increasing DVC prices...did anyone else get invited to the webinar? I received an invite in my email and you receive a free litho just for watching. Plus the discounts offered are at least as good as on the cruise if you are interested in AKV or BLT. If anyone is interested, PM me and I'll give you the info. It lasts about a half hour. I did the last one and it was pretty painless and the litho is really cute! Hoping for a second to make a set!
