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

[Disney loving Iowan]

Hey Groupies. Just got back from the doc. He started out shaking my hand (what in the world was he thinking??). Then he sat about 4 feet away as we got the symptoms down. As we talked he moved about 15 feet away to a different area of the exam room! I laughed and said next thing he will be coming in with a mask and sure enough, after the peak flow and pulse/ox he came back with a heavy duty mask!

Bottom line, more than likely viral bronchitis. I have a prednisone taper to take if the wheezing gets any worse. No antibiotics. He said there is a chance that it is the H1N1, but pretty slim.

I really like that doctor. So calm, and explains everything like you are not an imbecile!

Hope you keep feeling better Muushka!

Just a little heads-up about Ranger Stan. This morning in the WL lobby he was seated at a table signing pictures of himself for anyone who wanted one. When I got there, it was mostly CM's in line. My favorite CM was there so I got in line behind her to take her picture with Stan and she did the same for me. She said he was unaware that this was going to happen today and that he was overwhelmed. Many years ago DH and I did the Lodge tour with him and a few years ago we were the Flag Family with him. The picture is great - it's a shot of Stan and a young boy looking up in awe towards the ceiling. In the upper right hand corner of the picture are the words: My first day at work I was as wide-eyed as the guests. I still am. Further down on the picture are the words: I am Disney. There was a small matted poster of the picture there, also. And under the words I am Disney were the words I am Retired. I am so happy I was able to be here for Stan's last days as a CM. He is what Walt Disney hoped all his CM's would represent.

That is so great that they did that for him. I also would love to see the picture!

Happy Halloween!!!!!

Since I've been having health issues for the better part of a month, I'm really hoping that the FL sunshine will do wonderful things for me! Looking forward to just relaxing at the pool, in the Carolwood Pacific room, or anywhere else at the Lodge!

MJ...here's hoping that the Lodge is just the tonic for what ails you!

 

[Granny]

Maria...great theming and timing on the graphics as always. You're the best!!

BTW, here is a Lodge pick I took on Monday that I thought some of you might enjoy:

Let's see... a beautiful picture of our beloved Lodge complete with the timing of the geyser erupting.

Yeah, I guess SOME of us might enjoy that!

Getting the final packing done before heading to the airport in the morning. I wish they had ME at HHI from Savannah!!

Anyway, time to get ready to bring the Moose to the Island for a little kickin' back!

I'm also sorry that we cannot be there for Stan's last day. We will come so close! We will be checking in at the lodge on Thursday! DH and I are going for the tail end of F&W and also for my birthday! In the past, we have always taken friends or family with us for the F&WF, but I convinced DH to let it just be the two of us this time. Since I've been having health issues for the better part of a month, I'm really hoping that the FL sunshine will do wonderful things for me! Looking forward to just relaxing at the pool, in the Carolwood Pacific room, or anywhere else at the Lodge!

I also hope that FL sunshine makes you feel better. Well, that and our beloved Lodge.

Flying to HHI Granny? I thought you were a driving kind of guy. Love that graphic. Have a wonderful time.

Well I think I unofficially had H1N1 or some sort of flu. Poor Mr Muush. Picture of health yesterday. By 6 he had chills and a little achie. No fever. Checked it again at 8, 101.7.

God bless our primary care practice. They had a doc on call, told her what was happening and she called in some Tamiflu for him. Hopefully his illness will be short lived.

Don't forget to set your clocks back!!

Mary ~
hope FL...and the wonders of the Lodge make you feel better !!! Have a great time !

Thanks for the clock reminder Muushka !



Maria (sitting here and wondering why I've barely seen the sun all week !)

 

[blossomz]

Hope the Muushkas are on the mend! That extra hour is so nice!

 

[MiaSRN62]

That extra hour is so nice!

It wasn't from a nurse's perspective who works the night shift

Means we all had to work either 9 or 13 hours depending on our shift ---we RN's dread those "one hour back" night

But on the other hand....we LOVE the jump ahead one hour in the spring !

HELP CALLING ALL GROUPIES

I started a new thread about this but thought I would post here as the Groupies may have the information I need...I have used this website for years and have had the link posted on the WL FAQ thread over on the Resort Board.

For years I used a link to The Villa at Wilderness Lodge Room Lay-Out that show where each studio, 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom where located at the VWL. I originally found the link here on the DVC Forums...now when I try to access the link it says...

Dear AOL Hometown user,

We're sorry to inform you that AOL® Hometown was shut down permanently. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Sincerely,
The AOL Hometown Team

The room locations were great to have when making request.

If you have a copy of the information or if you know who made the Lay-Out would you please post a new link or the information here.

Thank You
Beckie

I haven't been around in awhile but thought I'd stop back in to say "hi" and "Happy Halloween!"

Our trip to BCV last weekend was great. We loved it, had never stayed there before. Still not as nice as VWL, of course, but acceptable as a choice for future trips. The F&W festival was great, too.

Now I'm looking foward to a month from now when we are on our way to Disney for our few days at the lodge and then our 1 week cruise. I'll really need the break again by then. The whole trip is paid for already so we are still going, but as of this past THursday, I've joined the millions of people who are unemployed. We'll be okay financially but emotionally it is rough to know I don't have a job and likely will not have one again for a very long time.

Pixie dust, please?

I just hate that we may have lost the information, DizneyNutz posted that he has a copy of it saved to his computer in a PDF file so I may be able to save it someway.

I am so sorry about the job loss. This economy is very scary. Pixie dust to you and feel free to PM me as we are in the same boat (although a new job for Mr Muush may be in the works).

 

[blossomz]

Inkmahm..good luck in the job market...

 

[BWV Dreamin]

Wishing speedy recoveries for Muushkas and Mary J!!!! Hang in there Inkman....I too am waiting to see if our dept. gets downsized. There is much to be thankful for. These are but bumps in the road.

So sorry to hear this Inkmahm. We're in the same boat. DH's last consulting assignment ended a week ago & he's back on the unemployment line. His boss has nothing in the works for him. Sigh. At least we have our trip to look forward to. Mostly all paid for except for the food. Pixie dust to you that you'll find a new position quickly!
