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

CMs would pay the driver of Elliott to get inside of the dragon and ride inside of it during the parade. They could see out, but guests could not see in because of all of the lights. There's more to the story, but perhaps you can figure it out on your own.

By the way, only 192 days to go! Woo hoo!!!!!!

Based on my own years at DL and the friends I have from those days - I would say there probably is truth to the story as presented, or rather alluded to. I will say that while I never partook of any kind of "limit pushing" actions, I do know numerous people who were terminated when their actions were discovered. One even has a now 18 year old souvenir from a visit inside Ft. Wilderness on Tom Sawyer Island, apparently during park hours, while he was supposed to be manning the security outpost. Instead I guess you might say he was "inspecting" instead of "securing".

. . . . Do you think the mods will make us move it??

It would take a miracle.

Oh my. MSEP has taken on a whole new meaning

Hey - you brought it up!

You'll get nothing more out of me!

Oh how fun! Perhaps we'll even run into each other...

That would be so fun! I've never gotten to meet any groupies.

Advanced viewing does seem like a funny way to word it.
7 days!!! Have fun storming the castle
I hope you and DLI are right about how long the parade will be around. I think they are just using their marketing powers to tell me it is June-August because they know I will think I have to get there this summer so I don't miss it. And it sounds more special and not-to-be-missed if it is the Summer Nightastic. How does their marketing always work on me?

Thanks Dory! Glad that when we storm the castle we won't have to go through the fire swamp and run into any ROUS'!!! I do think your are right. If people know it's going to be around awhile they won't hurry up and book for the summer.


Maria - I like Spectro too but for me I think it is the memories of seeing MSEP and I even have an album with the music from it. Also DD has never seen it so I'm excited for that. You have my permission to like Spectro more though! I'm sure that makes you feel better now knowing that!

Eliza...Glad to have you back here in the fold. It sounds like you have a large extended family and I'm sure you all pulled together at this tough time. Thanks so much for sharing your father's accomplishments with us...most importantly what a great job he did in helping to bring up such a lovely person as his daughter.

And you gave me goose bumps reading your Dads silver star honor.

And that picture says it all. What a great man that is that can be there for his daughter. Thank you for sharing that moment in time with us.

I'll just second what JT said and in addition to chill bumps your post made me cry. Love the picture of Daddy helping you with your hair. What an honorable man your dad was.

 

[DiznyDi]

So glad to have you back Eliza! We've missed you, though you've never been more than a thought away. DDad and I offer our condolences to you on the loss of your father. I'm certain he was an inspiration to you and to those who knew him. Thanks for posting his silver star commendation and for the picture. What an honorable and gallant man!

Welcome back Eliza. You've been dearly missed & thought of this week. Your post also made me cry. What a wonderful tribute & the picture is priceless. May all your precious memories of your dad lift you up during this difficult time.
