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

Can you disown your family? I just got a call tonight, my nephew and his wife just had a great big bouncing baby boy!! :
For a brief 20 secs I was besides myself with joy. that ended when I asked what they named my brand new great nephew.......

The brain surgeons named him SEVEN Yes, as in the number.

WHY?? On what planet would this be a appropriate name? Isn't that illegal? My SIL is in bed with what could only be called the vapors. Last I heard she was mumbling to herself over and over again "Lord, take me now". When asked why they would do this, twiddle dee and twiddle dum said that he was conceived in Vegas so they thought it was cute.

I can guarantee you guys one thing, when I take this kid to WDW when he's six, I'm calling him George.

Isn't college supposed to make you smarter.


CruzinLexi Welcome to the group. When the 6 prozaics I just took kick in, I may be able to put a coherent sentence together.

Wow. I immediately thought of the Seinfeld episode too when I read this. Are they fans of the show? Any chance they are jokesters and just messing with the family?

Everybody loves the "sign at the Mickeys and date at the Palm trees" instructions!

Think I'm gonna' take a short break from work and call QA now ... BTW, my contract is a 0.1260% interest in Unit 33A @ Disney's VWL. I looked at the site plan documents and cross referenced a map on DVCNews.com. Seems like i own a doorknob in rooms 1510, 1512, 1514, and 1516! I was REALLY surprised to find that Phase 33 was on the first floor (WL side of the villas, right by the bus stop), and it seems a weird layout for one "Unit" to be two dedicated studios and a 2 BT lockoff, but from what I see that's what I'm buying.

Muushka I am feeling pretty torn right now! Our waitlist for the BWV came through so we will be staying there in June instead of the Lodge. I know my DD will be happy (and DH too since he likes the location) but there was a part of me that was hoping the wait list wouldn't come through. Oh well, they owe me!!!!!!! My DD better enjoy her birthday! I do love the BWV though so it won't be terrible! And we do still have ADR's for Whispering Canyon.


Hope everyone has a great weekend!

That is bittersweet. Good for your daughter since it is her birthday and glad you do have the WC ressie so you can enjoy the lodge. We seem to visit every trip no matter where we stay. It just calls to me and I can't resist!

Hope you have a wonderful weekend too.

Greetings, Muushka, and all!

Our waitlist for BCV came through (surprisingly, as I asked for it to be all or nothing) and so I'll have to work on ADRs and fit in Artist's Point so I can get my WL fix...

SOOO excited to be at BCV (1st time), but the comfort feel of VWL is hard to let go of...

Countdown clock says 97 days...double digits...FINALLY!

Eliza wrote "They named him 'SEVEN' ..." Seriously

Seems unusual, that's for sure...could you just keep referring to him as "Steven" , and then maybe they would get the hint when you feign ignorance, and say you assumed you had heard wrong, because of all the excitement...

Amazing how one little letter makes a difference...

I, sadly, changed it for you. But you are such a great mom! BWV will be great at that time of year.

I changed it for you too, but I gotta say, next to VWL, BCV is my second favorite resort. Enjoy!

I can relate!!! BCV is really nice though and you will enjoy it. It is a pretty resort.

Thanks Muushka! Fortunatly we do love BWV so that helps. I was a little worried anyway about DH. He is not a person for crowds and he likes being able to walk back to the resort so we don't have a long and crowded bus ride at the end of the night.

When I attempt to book in 13 days is there a nice studio to request? When we bought KV last year husband told me I bought the toilet seat! I told him no I bought the waterslide!

DW & I are the same way; she's never stayed in the hotel side of WL and I only have once, back shortly after it first opened with my parents (I was in high school...). We've stayed in the VWL once, in Oct. 2009. HOWEVER, we've eaten in WC at least once on every trip we've made together, no matter where we've stayed!

I personally own multiple Disney doorknobs... My largest contract, @ BLT, also includes a common area floor mat IIRC.

I've only heard of one other person named SEVEN, and yes she was from a different planet....

Of course, her last name was "of NINE". Seemed logical for her, but your nephew's choice for the name just isn't singing to me.

 

[blossomz]

Seven!? Yikes!

 

[twinklebug]

I feel bad for the baby - as he gets to school age the other kids are going to ask what happened to the other 6.

Or... he can use this for his own benefit when his mom asks "who ate all the cookies" he can proudly say "Seven ate 9!"

At least form the non-metallic side she was pretty cute though...

Where is the Tag Fairy when you need him/her???

 

[blossomz]

Just saw Alice! Loved it...and the last scene shows Alice leaving on a boat called the "Wonder"!

 

[Muushka]

Alice looked so strange to me (previews). Why does JD do that to his beautiful face?

So, tell me, Blossomz, why did you like it? Would I like it?
Would you be willing to sign something official stating that you understand the terms of our contract??

Just kidding. But seriously, what did you enjoy about the movie? I love movies!

DD and I are going to see it Friday. Can't wait. I realized though that she has never seen the Disney animated version. I'd like her to see that first. Unfortunatly it's one of the few I don't own. Glad you enjoyed it Blossomz!
