[WDWRR_ENGINEER]

What a day it's is finaly time to sit down and catch my breath.

The lodge looks wonderful can't wait to look around and snap some pics.

Now going to try and get this wireless working and test out live video feed.

Did manage to string some lights outside our room for my daughter and wife.

More later. Now have to do laundry from our stay at ASM.

There is no plase like the lodge for the holidays.

Welcome back Muushka!!

Wonderful pics Kathy!!

Thanks BWV Dreamin!

Loved your pics! I am sure that you know the cure for lodge withdrawal . . . . planning another trip! I always have at least 2 trips in the works -- it helps a lot when you have to come back to reality.

Thank you! You are absolutely correct about the cure and that's what I've been doing. I managed to get three on the books although I'm still debating about changing the Oct one to Dec instead. Another is just a couple of days after a conference but I have to say it is nice that FL is so popular for meetings!!!

Daughter and grand daughter arrived last night. Grand daughter had look on her face when she saw me, as if to say, "Is this grand dad?" Then she brightened up when she saw how happy I was to see her. It has been too long since I've seen my grand daughter. When I last saw her, she was a toddler. Now she'll be 3 in March!

We played the rest of the night away until it was past her bedtime. Each night she tells her mother what she is going to do the next day. Her plan for today is to watch a movie with grand dad.

By the way... 3.

So are you going to have a live feed for the Groupies meet tomorrow? Any live feed will be exciting, really.

Those of us who are not at WDW need to try and remember the virtual meet at 1:00 p.m. EST tomorrow -- that is the right date, right?

Oh, and 11 days for me!

How's the crowd situation down there now?

And how's the weather?

 

[jimmytammy]

DLI

I will post those cake pics ASAP. I am hoping to get some good pics tomorrow at the meet, then post all I can.

The crowds seem a bit lite now in comparison to the past few days. We went to AK Sat and it is the lightest crowd I have ever seen. Not a lot of cars in parking here at the Lodge.

And weather looks and feels a lot better than it had. Looks like slight chance of rain everyday, but nothing abnormal. Come on down, I say!

You've talked me into it!!

 

[KAT4DISNEY]

I am sitting here looking at the foot of new snow with more coming down and thinking of the lodge. I think it is time for a few outdoor pictures!

Wish I had just arrived on one of these.....

Or wish I was getting on one of these.....

Or wish I was sitting in one of these....

looking out at this......

Sigh - thanks for letting me reminisce!

For those of you at the world I hope you have a great time at the meet!!

Kathy,
Gorgeous pictures. Dull, dreary, cold day here in Southern NJ also.

Welcome back Muushka,
looking forward to a cruise report.

Oh Kathy I am sitting here (next to my corgi) with a couple of inches of snow on the ground and up to a foot yet to come in the next couple of days. I just made a bunch of ADR's for my June trip, then I look at your newly posted pictures. I am so looking forward to going I'm getting weepy and I have so long to wait! Thanks for adding to my excitement!

Oh and I was able to get my ADR's for Teppan Edo for on DD's b-day!! She is very happy about that.

Kathy...love those photos...thanks for sharing them on a cold December day!

Joe....have a great stay.....hope u can get the live feed up and working. About stringing lights ? How do people put them outdoors ? Do u have to leave the balcony door cracked ? I'll be at SSR in less than a week and would love to do this.

Maria...when we stayed at VWL we did have to run the extension cord out through the sliding balcony door. We were able to pretty much shut the door though as I recall. There is no power on the balconies...I think OKW might be the only WDW resort with power on the balcony.

To all the Groupies at WDW...enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!! We love living vicariously through your reports and pictures. Keep 'em coming!!

[lodgeloafer]

just one more day and we are off to the lodge. I hope the snow & sleet expected tomorrow doesn't get in our way. See you all real soon.

 

[eliza61]

How are the midwest Groupies doing? Saw lots of the white stuff on tv last night.

There is a truck load of groupies going down soon, so have a ball guys. We expect trip reports.

Yup, virtual meet at 1 for those of us not at our beloved.

Cake arrived this morning and it looks wonderful!

You are such a good guy getting our Stan a cake.

Still wanna see it!

OK DLI, I will admit it. I don't know how to post videos without doing Youtube (actually I don't even know how to post Youtube!)
Any light anyone could shed on this would be appreciated!
