Forgot to say yesterday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BLOSSOMZ!


Teapot - warning off topic! Since you are also a BCV gal - I heard there is some kind of short cut path at BCV to Epcot. Not that the walk is all that long going out the front door, but short cuts are always nice. Do you know where it is?

We booked our pre-Christmas VWL stay for December 10 to 14! We have 2 studios, one for DSis/DCuz.

The family's going on 3 night DCL November 11 to 14. Pre-cruise stay in a treehouse!

Bobbi

Got 'em all Bobbi

Wow, we've been busy little Groupies today! Must be because Muush is back!

Welcome Back Muushka!

Here's our dates: Dec. 2-5 VWL Dec. 6-11 SSR We'd just love to meet up with our fellow Groupies. TOWL sounds like a great place to hang out - Thanks Kathy!

Happy Birthday blossomz I hope you enjoyed your day celebrating with family and friends!

Many thanks for your kind sentiments for our son. He is quite surprised, impressed really that "strangers" would be so grateful.

And, YES, we still have some of those mints left. Now if only their wedding colors will be blue and/or green! Anyone want to guess who may be headed to Hawaii? Plans are very indefinite at this time.

Thanks Eliza for your story. Too funny!

It would really be great if Stan and/or Carolyn would join us. How special that would be.

Good night, all!

Got all of your dates, but there is a gap. A very important gap. Which day are you checking out of VWL? Makes a big difference! (if it is the 6th, we will be there at the same time for 1 night!)

Oh, and strange, yes, stranger, NO!

So glad you're getting to spend some time with your son DiznyDi/Dad. A big heartfelt thanks goes from our family to him as well for everything he is doing.

And Hawaii! DH and I were "Mauied" there! Blue or green would be excellent colors for a tropical setting. Congrats to the couple!

Kat, I had just begun my AM coffee and only had a sip. I had to read your post about 4 times until I finally got it. You were Mauied there and not mauled there! Coffee. I need coffee.

 

[DiznyDi]

We will be at VWL the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th with checkout on the 5th. Oh, typing this, I see the error..... will be checking into SSR on the 5th. Not to worry, DDad and I expect to have a car on this trip and will gladly come back to the Lodge at anytime.

hhmmm Kathy was mauled in Hawaii

We use a path that follows the last building.
So if you leave the villas from the main door and your walking toward the main building (It's a little courtyard ) on the left there is a an opening with white lattice walls and a couple of benches go through there and follow the path to the end you'll end up on the sidewalk just across from the bridge that goes over to the boardwalk take a Left and in no time you be at the gate.

I second that, way to Mickey!!

Every once in a while some thing happens in my life that makes me laugh. Real life can be more entertainment than any sitcom...

4 months prior to Rizzo leaving for college we had the basic "facts of life" conversation again. It pretty much entailed me on my knees threatening, begging and pleading for him not to "you know what" until he was graduated from college, 30 and married. In that order If I had only known....

Today was my dad's 86th birthday, I went up to NY for a birthday lunch for him. The usual suspects (my siblings) were there along with 2 "lady friends" of his, Ms. Hernandez and Ms. Green. As I was heading out the door to start home, my dad pulls me aside and says.

"Bebe, you don't have to worry, me and Ms. Green are strictly platonic"

Happy Birthday Dad, now I have to go have that image surgically burned from my brain.


PS. Welcome back Muushka!!

Your dad must be a hoot!

Okay I don't know if i misunderstood something or what but I thought that you could not get one day park hopper passes. Have I been mistaken about it or did it change? I have some friends going to DL this week for one day and they were talking about going to both parks. I thought maybe a park hopper there would make sense but when I checked the WDW site it also showed that you could buy a 1 day park hopper for there.

You can get a one day hopper. A few years ago while at our annual softball tournament I had a few of the guys buy one day hoppers and we did a 4 park Roller Coaster Marathon.

 

[Muushka]

Park Hopper Option - Adding the Park Hopper Option lets you come and go as you please through any or all of the four major Walt Disney World theme parks (Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom) for each day of your pass. Extra cost on top of the base-price ticket is a flat rate of $52 ($55.38 with tax). This works out to a bit under $8 per day on a seven-day ticket, but obviously it adds a lot proportionally to the cost of a one-day ticket.

It costs a chunk of change to add to just one day ticket. If there was any chance of returning, the 7 day, non exp hoppers are not as bad as some of the tickets.

I apologize for not being able to post since DD and I returned from WDW in December.
I loved going at that time of year and it gave Kati and me such a fantastic Mother/Daughter time.

In what I have had time to catch up on. . . when ya'll were discussing occupations. . . I am an accountant and the office manager for a local church. So needless to say, I am knee deep in W2's and 1099's right now.

Also, I made our summer reservation for our family trip (including grandchildren). We will be there July 11-17 at VWL. I am so happy to be able to share this fabulous lodge with my son and his family.

To those that have followed our saga with my mother's cancer. We had another surgery on Jan 6. It was a precautionary surgery that the pathologist requested. She did great, but she has a lot of tubes attached now and it is going to be a long slow recovery. We hope this has bought us a little extra time, since we have found out it is a cancer that is aggresive and is known to return.

Prayers to everyone's family and friends that have suffered loss, accidents and are job-hunting. Hope 2010 is a great one for all.

Thanks! I don't know why I thought you couldn't do this. I must have heard wrong or gotten it mixed up with something else.

Ok Muush,
Finally got our vacation plans finalized. Feels really weird not have a wdw plan in place but I'm posting just to see my name some where. I'll probably get more excited closer to the date, but I'm inching to try and squeeze a weekend in at the lodge.

Anyway 5/24- 5/31 Paris/DLP

E.
