Hey Groupies!!!
Just got back from DN's wedding shower and girls only trip to our Beloved Lodge. What can I say it was a perfect mix of family, church family and friends. To top it off with a visit to the Mouse. Life is Good

I have an Important message .....A Big Hello from Ranger Stan He sends a Big Shout Out to JimmyTammy, Muushka and all the groupies. He would like me to tell you that his last day will be October 31st
He said that he planned to talk to Jimmy some time next week and that he is looking forward to our Meet in December
We were so glad to finally meet him

PS Trying to post pics... I'm having some challenges ...will keep trying

Boo Hoo! I'll just miss him! We check in on Nov. 5th.

Thanks for the pictures Teapot. I haven't my Ranger Stan but him and the gentleman from BCV's whom I did get to meet are truly the things that make the world special.

Need some pixie dust today groupies. One of my coworkers son was injured in Afghanistan this weekend. He's a gunner (marines) and their vehicle hit a IED. and my other coworker lost his grand baby. She was a premie and developed complications Sunday. Blue Monday on Tuesday.
I swear at this rate I'm never gonna quit drinking. I hate bad news.

Elzia Prayers and Pixie Dust coming your way for your co-workers Life can truly be hard at times and just not fair.

I'm sure you're talking about Art the greeter at the Beach Club..... a really sweet man with one great smile.. I'll see if I can dig up a picture of him.

 

[Muushka]

That is some serious pixie dust needed for these sad stories. Prayers for both families.

Sorry to hear this. Prayers will be coming their way.

I heard on another thread that Art is retiring pretty soon too.

Our hearts cry for the loss of any children, and our prayers go out to the parents left to understand why. And we thank all those who serve. Let your coworkers know that there are many who care.

Thanks Teapot for the Ranger Stan update. I spoke with him about 3 weeks ago, but had to keep it under my hat about the date. Im glad he has gone public with it so others can be sure to see him before he goes. He told me that his boss lady, the one who coaxed him over from Ft. Wilderness all those yrs ago was going to hold a special party for him on the 5th and needed him to come in that day, which would have been this past Mon. She told him he could take off today to make up for it. Apparently that day held some signifigance in his yrs as a CM.

Sadly we are losing him and Art the Greeter at BC all in the same month. Saw where he is retiring the 17th. 2 guys that will never quite be replaceable.

I guess it wasnt as difficult to book that 1 bed in May at BWV for us knowing Ranger Stan wont be at "home"

Eliza

Please tell your coworkers we are praying for them.

We just got back from our first trip to VWL. My wife and I feel in love with the place. Now we have been to many of the different resorts at WDW (we always love to try new places), but this was the first place that we really felt at home and comfortable. We decided that when we decide to add on we will find points at VWL. I have heard many people talk about it being great but now I understand. It may be a while before we get back but we will.

You sound just like a Groupie! As some have said, "It speaks to my heart"
And you sound like a perfect candidate for the VWL Groupie siggy! Please feel free to grab him.
Pull up a rocking chair and visit often.

PS once declared a Groupie, trip reports and pictures are required.

A big WELCOME to the groupies!!

We are sorta partial to the place ourselves

TeaPot...thanks for the update on Ranger Stan. What a jewel he has been. They've got some really big shoes to fill there!

pilgrimr...welcome to the Groupies thread. You have uncovered what all of us here already know so well. WL/VWL is a genuinely perfectly themed resort with the ability to soothe the spirit. WELCOME!!

 

[Dizny Dad]

I found us this AM on page 2 . . . . what were we doing there. We must have fallen asleep dreaming about our next trips to The World.

It's been raining for about 30 hours solid and it is just adding to the whole area's sports despair (no, I still cannot believe that Holliday dropped that ball last night! ).

So, a little balm for the soul this morning as I retreat to my happy place...

 

[Muushka]

What Holliday? What ball Granny? I have only had one cup of coffee......

What Holliday? What ball Granny? I have only had one cup of coffee......

I think you'll need more than coffee here,

you'll need an infusion of beer, hotdogs and popcorn to figure this one out.
