16 Days! All others going soon chime in and make it a chorus!

10 days to go!! Tomorrow the single digit dance!!!!

I think I have trip on the brain. I told DS9 earlier he needed to leave out his Harry Potter library DVD so I could bring it back to the airport!

Two more sleeps then we hit the road. Thurs night I will be like that family on the commercial, "I'm too excited to sleep"

And Dad, I agree, usually I can only access this site at best twice a day, and the buzz that has been going through the last few posts gets me smiling and loving being on here and a part of this family we call groupies.

 

[bobbiwoz]

We're 16 days away!

 

[DiznyDi]

Yes. I've yet to run into a Diser wearing one but I am hopeful I will this trip.


Thanks for letting us know for those of us attending the virtual meet. With your iPhone you can post pics for us and be part of the virtual meet. You will enjoy it your iPhone; pictures, tunes, websurfing, the weather, why it even makes phone calls, too!

This is just too funny.... you have no idea to whom you speak. Talk about being technologically challenged - I'm at the top of the list!


I'm still confused. LGMH? Someone like to enlighten me?

....

Ok, what's the weather like in Orlando. If I can't be there I want full immersion!!

From my iPhone lmao current Orlando Temp is 66 with a high of 72, a low of 59 and rain

Happy Turkey Day one and all!

Happy Thanksgiving Eve Groupies!

So many posts - not enough time to read!

Dory good to see you back again!

JT please say hi to Ranger Stan for us. Spending those last few days with him were so special to us on our trip.

To everyone heading out for the holidays - have a wonderful trip! May you have great weather and safe travels! We're hoping to be a part of the holiday travel bunch next year if all plans work out.

We have been MIA since I have been sick for over a week now with flu/bronchitis and whatever else you'd like to throw in there! Still not up to par but hoping this will pass soon. In the middle of all of the sickness I had a job interview - and I GOT THE JOB! It's almost a mirror image of what I did for the attorney I worked for - except now it's for CPA's. Small firm - 20 hours a week until tax season - and then it will be 40+ through April 15th. I am so excited after being out of work for 15 months! Just had to share!

Hope that everyone has a great Thanksgiving - and if you're traveling - BE SAFE! Looking forward to everyone's trip reports.

LGMH= Lime green Mickey head. sort of the unofficial symbol of the Dis boards. They were sold at Staples a few years back. So if you're in the parks and you see some one with a Lime green Mickey head sticker chances are they post here.

Leslie!! Congratulations on the New job. Thank you for sharing, we love good news. Take care of yourself.


HAPPY TURKEY DAY EVERYONE.

DRIVE SAFELY.

 

[Granny]

Hey Groupies...looks like a lot of trip preparing going on around here!

Leslie...congratulations on your new job and hope you recover from what ails you very quickly.

To those Groupies who will be heading to our beloved home soon, I wish safe travels and a wonderful trip. Please give my regards to Ranger Stan...I did introduce myself to him as Granny but I'm not sure he processed it! He gave me one of those "surely I didn't hear him right" looks when I told him my name. In any event, I'm glad I had the chance for an extended visit with him this past July. Ask him about being made a ceremonial American Indian leader after the Lodge blessing!

And a Happy Thanksgiving to all of you...I am thankful to have "met" you here in cyberspace!

I'm sorry DiznyDi! I'm pretty technologically challenged, too, but I can check the Disboards and post pictures with my first generation iPhone and I bet you can, too, once you play around with your phone for awhile.

LGMH is lime green mickey head. It's a Mickey head shaped paint chip from Home Depot in alien green (don't know we don't call them AGMH ) that is supposed to identify you as a Dis'er in the parks. I've yet to see one at DL or WDW. Some people do really fancy ones with beads, glitter, etc.

happydinks, congratulations on the new job!

Safe travels to all who are travelling this holiday and a big Happy Thanksgiving to all the VWL groupies!

Yay Leslie!!!!! Fantastic news!! There is hope out there.

Wishing all my groupie friends a wonderful Thanksgiving!

 

[DVCGeek]

Maybe I should just stop worrying and get ready to have a great time!

That's crazy talk! I've been busy rechecking park hours and Fantasmic/Ill/Wishes schedules for my trip (arriving Sunday afternoon- 4 days!!! ) the last few days, just in case I need to change around my park plans! Maybe SOMEDAY I'll learn to just relax on a Disney vacation... Eh, doubt it! Too much fun stuff to do.

 

[DisneyNutzy]

Morning Groupies. Happy Thanksgiving.

Yes. I've yet to run into a Diser wearing one but I am hopeful I will this trip.



The Merry Mixer is from 3 pm to 5 pm outside the International Gate at Epcot. Hope that you can make it!

Hi Lisa - Not sure we will make Merry Mixer. Crazy Loud NY Grandpa is arriving that day and he wants to go to Disney Hollywood Studio's. Thanks to you and Eliza for solving my brain cramp. I should have known what LGMH was. I have not worn one yet but if we are there you won't have any problem spotting us because of the previously mentioned Loud Grandpa..lol. I will post here if we can make it.

Two more sleeps then we hit the road. Thurs night I will be like that family on the commercial, "I'm too excited to sleep"

JT- Have a great trip and I can't thank you enough for donating the tree for our tree share. I will make sure to get it back to you in great shape!

Happydinks - CONGRATS on the new job!!

I hope Muushka is having a great time. This board is just not the same without our leader.

 

[DVCGeek]

BTW, have a Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow everyone!!!

So, I'm hoping 4 days will unwind me enough that I can survive until Feb.

Well, all the mountains are on the list, but other than that who knows.

Speaking of mountains- if it's important to you, last I read Splash Mountain is scheduled to be refurbed January 3 through February 27, 2010. So, you may want to keep that toward the top of your list for this trip!

 

[DVCGeek]

In the middle of all of the sickness I had a job interview - and I GOT THE JOB!

Sorry to hear you were sick but CONGRATS on the job!

 

[wildernessDad]

Great news on the job front, Happydinks!

Now, let's get ready to rumbllllllllllllllllllle!

15 days to go!

 

[Dizny Dad]

Oh, can't you just feel the excitement growing in this thread!

Single digit dances, new jobs, sleep countdowns, etc.

DiznyDi & I will be sporting our new LGMH logos on our packs during our visit to The World next week, so now we have a new item to spot as we saunter through The World looking for Disers.

Rather than say "good morning" to me this morning, DiznyDi whispered out "seven more sleeps". I got the drift, although I had to correct her - it is eight more sleeps; but then thinking about it, she will probably only have four more. The rest will be long cat naps separated by wide awake moments thinking about the excitement of being back at The Lodge!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!

Leslie I am so happy for you!!!!! What a relief finally! You deserve it! Sorry that you have been sick. I hope you feel better soon. I am just so glad you got a job!!!

 

[Disney loving Iowan]

So I just want to repeat what a couple other groupies have said and let you know how grateful I am for my friends here on this great thread! It is so nice to come to a place where people are so caring and supportive of each other. I have been on the receiving end of that a few times and it helped me so much. You are all awesome!!!! I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

 

[twinklebug]

Hot Tub!
And after the hot tub, sit for awhile in the rockers at the fireplace in the Villas lobby.

Oh yea... I am SO there.

Dizny Dad and I really enjoy resort hopping to see and experience the wonderful decorations. We enjoy our evening meal at the resorts, go early and sit in the lobby or walk the grounds taking in all the holiday splendor.

This year we're also doing La Nouba - tickets are discounted for DVC/AP by 35% - a sleigh ride at Fort Wilderness, MVMCP, and the MK dessert buffet. We hope to be among the first in line to shop at World of Disney on the 5th (6:30 AM ) and plan to attend the Condominium mtg on the 9th.

DiznyDi & Dizny Dad Sounds like you'll be having some fun! I might get the energy up to get down to the WOD store at 5:30am ... uh... nah... sleep verses shopping? Yea, sleep wins.


Great Advice, Pamela . We were sick at AKV/VWL 2 years back and every time one of us gets sick now I find myself wishing we were in WDW - hey if you're going to be sick, might as well be sick in style LOL. I'm really looking forward to just chilling at the Lodge. And maybe even a trip over to where my love for the "wild side" of Disney started... Ft Wilderness. OK, I know, it's not "wild" ... my son goes camping with the boyscouts, in tents in the winter -- thank you, but no. Hehe... VWL is about as wild as I'll go these days.

, twinklebug. The time right before vacation is so stressful. Go, relax, enjoy and tell us all about it when you return.

Thanks Lisa - I'm so glad I didn't cancel now, The work day has officially' ended for Thanksgiving break, and although the pressure is on to crank out 2 projects and I'll be online working all night & weekend my stress level has dropped enough that I finally can feel the Disney magic out there.

Yep Bullwinkle is still hanging out at Macy's. I worked the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade one year, many, many, maaaaany years ago. I think Bob Hope was still head lining!!

Twinklebug & Wilderness Dad, lovin the count down.

How cool! I have never seen the Macy's Parade, but it's on my list of 50 things to do before I die. Personally, I prefer the pups: snoopy & underdog over bullwinkle, but they don't scream "Moose"

twinklebug - we'll keep your secret! Some things are just better left alone! And you definitely need this trip and some relaxing in the WL.

My boss tried to get me to cancel my vacation/trip this last Monday. Now he's just as big of a Disney fan as I am so you know he understood when I turned him down. What he doesn't get is the Lodge. Eh, we have to keep some of the good things to ourselves. Come next Thursday, I'm not going to even look at the work laptop. Plan is to take off for the airport with the kids right after school and look forward to the ride. Hoo Hoo I love flying.

if it's important to you, last I read Splash Mountain is scheduled to be refurbed January 3 through February 27, 2010. So, you may want to keep that toward the top of your list for this trip!

Thank you for this reminder! Splash Mtn is my 12yo's absolute favorite ride (the top of the main drop scares the <insert your choice of word here> out of me) but if he misses it both trips I'll never hear the end of it.
