Well, it is 4 more days til our WDW trip. Our waitlist did not come through, so we will be having our first stay at SSR (which is our home resort even though we have never been there!!)

Everyone that is leaving before us have a safe trip and we will see you there.

Oh wildernessDad--Are you going somewhere soon???

Got lucky last night, sat down at Lady and Sons at 8:40 instead of 9:15. It was a wonderful meal. We all got the buffet.

Hoping to hit the road by 8am. Friends from back home will be there til Mon am and hoping to spend a few hrs today and Sun with them before they leave.

Next post, VWL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

6 more days to go!!!! Came down with a cold & sore throat yesterday. Taking lots of vitamin C & trying to take it easy today. Better this weekend than next.

Looks like we'll be having some nice weather when we're there. Temps in the low 70s during the day. Ahhhh!

Have a good day my groupie friends!

Morning Groupies! HGTV is airing a Behind the Magic: Disney Holidays on Sunday 8-9.

Well, it is 4 more days til our WDW trip. Our waitlist did not come through, so we will be having our first stay at SSR (which is our home resort even though we have never been there!!)

Everyone that is leaving before us have a safe trip and we will see you there.

Sorry your wait list didn't come through but I think you will like SSR. Enjoy your trip!

Good Morning Everybody!!!! It's great to read that there are so many imminent trips. Two weeks from today for us!

Checked out the 15 day weather report and it looks like we might hit a chilly spell but it's ALL GOOD -- I'm going to jump in the pool anyways -- even if I hafta wear my winter coat coming and going! And you know what? I'm thinking cool weather will make the fireplaces just that much more inviting!

It feels so good being here. Got here about 1:00, checked in and got in room right away. We have the same room as last time, only request we made is could we possibly get a top floor 1 bed. Whats chances of getting same room twice in a row

Just got in from a meal at WCC. No skillet this time for us. Tammy and I had a chiken penne pasta with veggies and a slad to split. DD had meatloaf and DS had a pulled pork sandwich. All were very good.

We are in room 5523 which is in the rotunda on the lake side. If anyone is around and wants to say hey, just give us a shout. Love meeting groupies!

Tomorrow heading over to MK for MVMCP. Friends who are down here, we are going to party with. Hoping we could cross paths today but their DD is a bit under the weather,so hoping she will feel better Sun.

The Lodge looks wonderful as always but especially festive for Christmas. Near elevators, they have a tree Im assuming at each floor. At least the 5th floor has one. It is about 4'. I dont recall them ever being there before.

I looked around to see if a replacement had come for Stan, but didnt see anyone. I talked with a bellman who I knew to be good buddies with him. He said all Stan friends really miss him. I told him we miss him too

I will try to stay in touch everyday.

Yeah JimmyTammy!!!

So glad to hear that you folks have arrived safely and that our beloved lodge is in tip-top shape for the holidays. Thanks for sharing.

You can bet we'll be following along with your adventure! Definitely, it's the next best thing to being there.

I am with you on the sitting by the fireplaces. I would sit by the pool in my coat, but I can promise you I wouldn't be jumping in! You are much braver than I!

JT- love the updates! Have a wonderful time at the party and update when you have time.

Hi Groupies! It's almost time to decorate! Looks like Mr. Moose has a "head" start. (ooo.... sorry.)

4 days 13 hours until we takeoff for WDW!!! So excited!

I won't be bringing my laptop with me - so glad jimmytammy has his. I promise to take plenty of pics to post (hope the focus works this time)

Hello Groupies
Hope you all had a Blessed Thanksgiving
JimmyTammy thanks so much for the live posting.
We're coming Home real soon ....6 day happy dance

 

[wildernessDad]

11 days to go here!

 

[wildernessDad]

Bummer. I'm short a couple of Wilderness Lodge luggage tags. I have two, but the third is ripped and I can't find the others. DW is on her way to her Dad's and her phone is off. I called the Mercantile, but got their voice mail. I have the WDW mail order number now, but they are closed until tomorrow at 9am.

Anybody know if they sell WL luggage tags through WDW mail order?

Love the moose pic btw, twinklebug.

Howdy Groupies!

Totally following your Live Report, JimmyTammy. Thank you for taking the time to do this!
