Morning Everyone!

Quick question -- thought that anyone in the know about this would be here. Is there any computer access on property in WDW? We don't have a laptop but I may need access one day while we are there, and didn't know if there was a "business center" where a PC could be used. Anyone got any idea?

Thanks!

Great question. I have found a few WiFi places, but had my own equipment to access it. Can't say I have ever seen a business center at WDW resorts!

Sorry to break the stride here, but an Update:

Saturday was the Bridal shower at the church, put on by the Maid of Honor and Matron of Honor. A good time was had by all, but that story needs to come from DiznyDi.

The men, on the other hand, met at our home south of town, where they could find great food grilling, a nice cracking fire, spud guns, hoops to shoot; all sorts of men stuff to keep us busy and out of the ladies' hair.

We needed to "sear the mammal flesh", see flamage, shoot stuff, express athletic prowess, BECAUSE WE ARE MEN! At 4:30, everyone left to pick-up their wives and girlfriends, BECAUSE THEY SAID SO. But they all left saying that the women had had enough, it was time they ended it! (you know manly things to say, even though we all knew we were just doing what we were told)

A good time was had by all. The groom was held up in stories and in prayer. Those in attendance gave advice (who was the guy that said "Run"?). Some told stories of the groom's past. Fellowship was enjoyed by all, BECAUSE WE ARE MEN!

Yes dear, I'm done.

There are several, though i haven't used any of them. Closest I ever got was buying a stamp from the one at Grand Californian Hotel, and that's the wrong coast!

Anyway, hopefully this helps:

Hey Folks

Ranger Stan called last night. We spoke for several minutes about his upcoming retirement. I asked if he was looking forward to it. He said he was, but with mixed emotions, as he was going to be leaving behind something he really enjoys, being at the Lodge and seeing all the friendly faces.

I asked him if he was hoping to keep his uniform, and he replied in hopes, but especially would like the hat. I told him if for some reason they dont we would protest on his behalf But in talking about that subject, I did in a more serious tone(which is real unusual for me)mention how it would be nice if WL were to place his hat with a picture of him behind one of those glass frames like they keep the head dresses in. IMO it would be in honor of him.

I went on to share how we feel he will be irreplaceable. He is always humbled by kind words expressed towards him, which makes you love him even more. And I mentioned that Art over at the BC was retiring the 17th. He was unaware of it, and was glad to know. He was gonna give him a call or go by to see him before he leaves.

Stan mentioned the Groupie meet on Dec 8th, has it on his calendar, said his sweetie Carolyn will be there also, and they are both looking forward to it, and to seeing and meeting the groupies.

One more thing, I posted a few days back about his manager having a party on his behalf. It was Oct 5th, it was his 20 yr anniv. as being a CM. Also, they are having a party in his honor on Oct 30 that he isnt supposed to know about at the Lodge.

He says if anyone is going to be there between now and the 31st please say hello.

Oh JT, how lucky RS is to have such a good friend in you and your family. My eyes got a little foggy reading your post.
No, it isn't the steam from my coffee.

I hope that WL does as you suggested. What a tribute to such a kind soul and someone who has spread that nature throughout the lodge for so many years.

He will be missed.

twinklebug! Love the photos! You are like me and Mr Muush. We like the unusual. And really love the unusual, low light!
You have inspired us!

Boring is not a word I would use to describe you Eliza!!!

JT thanks for the Ranger Stan update. I sure do regret not getting to meet him.

Good morning groupies! It's a rainy day here in NV but at least it's not snow (yet)! Winds are really supposed to start ripping it up shortly and I can't wait. We have one window on the wind side that always leaks when it's rainy and windy but it is better than the old windows where we had to pull out the buckets!

I spent 4 days last week at DL on a solo trip to check out the new west coast home and DL at Halloween. Had a great time and VGC is wonderful! I think that any groupie would feel at home very quick!!!

VGC is about the only way I will get Mr Muush to the west coast! They look beautiful

We're going to have lunch over at Roaring Fork this Sunday, so we'll look for him then!

Got any pictures?

WD - Hope you have a great trip!!!! Give our regards to Ranger Stan!

Unfortunately, he is only there Wed-Sat from 7 til 4. If there is any way to slip by there any of those days, he would be glad to see you. He does FF from 8 til 8:45, then Wonders of Lodge tour from 9 til 10. Hangs around the lobby or just outside the big doors til about 1, eats lunch til 1:30, hangs around til about 3, eats a snack to tide him over til dinner, then leaves at 4. I only know this cause I always try to see him at least most days while there. I know his schedule better than mine

I mentioned to Tammy while getting our walk a few minutes ago how it will always be home, but with Stan gone, there will always be something amiss.

Stopping by. I have never stayed at the Wilderness Lodge, but hope to very soon.
I've already bought a WL comforter and shower curtain from www.ownthemagic.com!

So as you can see I'm trying to get a head start and would like to become a WL Groupie if you will have me

In the words of Dr. Nigel Channing over at the Imagination Institute,
WELCOME, WELCOME, WELCOME!!

Thanks for the heads up about the comforter. Just got me one too!!
