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

Ah -- to be at the Lodge.......wish it was Oct. 21st right now!

Saw this smiley and it reminded me of one of our favorite "out of the mouth of babes" stories from WDW. I was having a meltdown at MK one night about 10pm after touring commando for the day. We were trying to get back to the Lodge along with everyone else and all I saw was masses of humanity, and "hours before we ever get to our room". I was seriously just about to lose it (and Bob was about to lose me!), when this boy standing with his parents right in front of us comes out with "I wish I could somehow magically, telepathically transport us back to our room at the Lodge!" Stopped my meltdown and saved the marriage!

So cute! Sounds like something Mr Muush would say and or think!

If only there was such a thing! I'd magically, telepathically transport myself there right now!

 

[blossomz]

I'd be right there with ya!

Our waitlist came through for Dec.! I so excited, but strangely a little sad because I was starting to really look forward to staying 1 night at AKV. Oh well another trip. Woo hoo don't have to move! I need to call MS today to get them to link the ressies. Only problem is now the online ADR system is not recognizing my ressie. Nothing is ever easy with Disney.

 

[DiznyDi]

horselover Glad to see your waitlist came through!
How's the new job? Any update on DH's job quest?

 

[horselover]

Hi Di! The new job is working out fine so far. The kids are pretty good. I've only had one problem so far. A couple of h.s. girls didn't want to wait for the signal & decided it would be a good idea to just walk out in front of on coming traffic. I did manage to stop them. Still trying to work out that fine line of wanting to be nice, but still being firm. Having a little trouble getting used to the early schedule. Like I said I'm not a morning person! I can't seem to go to sleep any earlier than I'm used to even though I'm tired. Hopefully my body will adjust soon. I'm off for the next 4 days. No school in the town I work, but my kids have school. DH & I are going to go out to lunch.

Not much going on with DH. He did have a phone interview for the job in our town. The manager said he had a few more to do & then would decide next week who he was bringing in to interview in person. DH said he couldn't really get a feel for if it would be him or not. He said the guy was very hard to read. Fingers crossed because there doesn't seem to be much else on the horizon. Hopefully after Labor Day things will pick up.

Update on the ADR system not recognizing my ressies. In my excitement over the w/l coming through I was entering the wrong arrival day. I was entering Sept. instead of Dec.! More coffee on the way!

Di - how are the wedding plans coming along & when is the big day?

 

[DiznyDi]

Wedding plans: We're about 50 days out. The wedding is Oct. 24th. Both my daughter and her fiance are ordained pastors, so we'll be inviting 2 church families + family and friends on both sides = a whole lot of folks! We're preparing for 325. Today I'm off to wrap the bubbles with tulle and ribbons. We also have little bells that will have ribbons tied on them and I hope to get that accomplished today, too. I'll bring pics with me to the Groupie meet in December.

They'll be honeymooning at VWL! Is there really anywhere else?

I made my ADR's this morning, too. The CM allowed me to make 10 days of reservations even though we have a split stay. I thought I would only be able to make the first half of them I'll have to call later to book the last 3 days. We're quite rural and have only dial-up available, so I call. It takes way too long for me to try to do anything online. And these days, time is of the essence. I need to make every moment count! So much to do...so little time...

My mom was a school bus driver for 20+ years. Her retirement benefits are phenomenal! If you like your school crossing guard position and stick with it, you may find that you benefit your future. Good luck to you! And to your husband.

Wedding Plans: We're about $6000 in, with more yet to cover. The wedding is Oct. 24th. Both my daughter and her fiance are ordained pastors, so both are highly educated and under paid. We'll be inviting 2 church families + family and friends on both sides = a whole lot of food and drink! We're paying for 325 and fear more will show up to eat. Today I'm off to work to make more money and keep out of the way. The house continues to fill up with little bells that will have ribbons tied on them, bottles of bubbles, boxes of this stuff, his stuff, and her stuff, all keeping me from getting anything accomplished today. We'll bring pics with us to the Groupie meet in December (run!).

They'll be honeymooning at VWL! Is there really anywhere else?

Can't think of any!

I LOVE the husband-wife tag team!! Sounds like Father of the Bride (one of my favorite movies)!

Hey all!!

Sorry I havent been posting lately, but I have been lurking and keeping up with my "other" family here. Just havent had much to add, til now.

Ranger Stan called me Wed night last week and told me of some news. He said he met a lady named Toni from the groupies. Im not sure who that is, only know most by tag names. But he said she was very sweet and a great representative of our group.

He went on to say that he and his sweety Carolyn will definitely be at our Dec meet. I gave him the date and time of 1 pm, and told him I would be in touch as the time approaches.

If you wont be at the Dec meet, but have the chance to see him, see him soon!

 

[Muushka]

Thanks for keeping up with our Stan.

Now, I wonder who Tori is!!!

I just noticed that my Groupie signature is gone!!!

 

[blossomz]

I hope somone will be posting live from the meet as I am not able to be there...Darn..I love teaching, but it just doesn't mesh well with my Disney wish trips!!

Call in sick!

Sorry..... I'm sure someone will post (like me for example!)

I think live video streaming is in order here I too will miss the meet... by one stinkin day (kids have to get back for school). Oh, bunny droppings. I'd really LOVE to meet other DIS'ng DVC'rs.

Anyone up for a Feb vacation meet? I won't be at vwl, but at akv-kidani from 2/10-2/19. If I can work out how the whole streaming thing works I might treat myself to the proper equipment for xmas & host a few giraffe walk-bys

Sorry Blossomz & Twinklebug! Wish all the groupie friends could be there. I feel very fortunate to be able to attend. Planned all my ADRS around it! Made all our ADRs this weekend. Got everything I wanted. Woo hoo! Has anyone every had lunch at WCC? We've done dinner there but not lunch. Booked lunch there for our arrival day (Fri.) because we really want to catch Fantasmic this trip & looking at the calendar it's only Fri. & Tue. Figured a large lunch would work well for catching the 6:30 show. Didn't want to worry about rushing around trying to make a dinner ressie somewhere.

Hope everyone had a good weekend.

BTW - DH got called back for an interview for the job in our town! Next Tue. It's one of those meet everyone all at once interviews. Five people back to back. Fingers crossed he'll do well & get the job!
