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

I hope Im not coming across complaining about the heat. Like I always say, a rainy day at WDW is better than a sunny day at work.

It has just changed our way of touring the parks, but maybe the fact is we have done the parks enough in the past that we dont feel compelled to have to be in one every day. Plus we are spoiled by the Dec temps

We ate at San Angel yesterday and really enjoyed it. I got Tamales and they were really good. Did Soarin and TT, spent more time than normal in WS areas inside.

Stan and Carolyn are very much enjoying retirement. They seem very happy.

We havent seen teapot yet, and hoping we will at least see them in passing. BW is a huge place. I sing the Beatles everytime we go into the halls, except I change it to (ya gotta hum along) The Long and Winding Hall, that leads to the lobby, and still the hall leads on, along, long way to go, woo hoo hoo. Maybe the heat is getting to me.

So today we are going to HS eat at at 50s and get reprimanded for elbows on the table. But those yummy PB&J shakes are worth it!

jimmytammy - PB&J shakes? I am not familiar with those! Now I have another "must try" for next week!

I so agree with you about 50's. I haven't had the PB&J shakes, but we just love the atmosphere of the place. We almost always eat there two times when we go on our longer trips.

Complain about heat. Well, we hit close to 90 yesterday (possibly more, didn't really pay attention!) and are supposed to come close again today. It doesn't do us any good to complain since we will have this from now til who knows when! Now we just wait to see when we get our first 100 degree day.

Just popping in to say Hi Groupies!

It's been a very crazy busy week+ in my world, and I haven't had much time to be on here at all. I've missed it. I see that there are numerous pages to go back and get caught up on, but at this point I don't see that I'll have the time. You might recall a couple of months ago I ended up with a last minute visit from the boss in advance of a round of cutbacks that meant I'd get a bunch of extra work to cover those that were losing their jobs... well it has moved in like a hurricane! And by golly it's just stolen a lot of the time I used to enjoy on here. Oh well. I'll get my fixes now and then and keep popping in when I can. One happy thought though... I booked the airfare yesterday for my Daddy/Daughter adventure in September! We'll be at AKV for that one, but we'll probably make it over to the Lodge once as she's requested to eat at WCC if we can.

Jimmy...DW and I enjoyed considerably better weather the week leading up to your stay. Since we normally have visited WDW in the sweltering summers, we very much understand how it can affect your visit.

Since this was one of our few non-summer trips, we even commented a few times that we could see how people who don't visit during the summer might have a hard time with Orlando's full heat/humidity combination.

The hard part for you is you didn't schedule a summer vacation!!! So hopefully the heat will break at some point or you'll at least get some good cloud cover days.

BTW, we always enjoy the 50's Prime Time too. Last time the waitress drew circles on the table with the ketchup where my daughter had put her elbows! Too funny.

I love the chocolate malted milkshakes ar 50s Prime Time Cafe.

Enjoy your vacation JT, say hi to Teapot if you run into her.

Ya know, almost 10 years straight going to the world and we still haven't made it to Prime time. We've made a number of adr's and just never seem to make them.

 

[DiznyDi]

Hi Brian Nice to have you amongst us! Do stay awhile and become acquainted with the Groupies!

JT: remember how horribly hot it was last year this time at Disney? Boy I do! 95+ during our stay. The week after we left, it rained nearly all week. At the time I remember thinking I'd rather have the heat than the rain. Hope that doesn't hold true for this year, too. I'll be really disappointed if it rains all next week during our stay. Glad to hear you're enjoying yourself despite the heat. Nice you had the opportunity to meet up with Ranger Stan and his sweetie. Hope you and tea pot are able to make a connection.

Dory - it won't be long.... Are you getting excited? Bags packed yet? I, at least, have the laundry done and have begun thinking about what will go in the bags.

Eliza, you'll be following close behind. Wow, Paris Take lots of pictures and tell us all about it!

Yeah Stopher1! Booking the airfare means you're committed! You'll have great fun on your daddy/daughter trip. BBBoutique in your future?

Hi twokats! Nice to have you back after your busy tax season. Sorry to hear about your mom. Having your cruise booked will give her something to look forward to. Hope she continues to show improvement and regain her strength.

Safe travels Maria as you make your way home.

7 more sleeps!

I wouldn't say I'm an expert, but that is my username at TGM.

Well you are very helpful/friendly and have great knowledge about park touring I know. Hope you enjoy the lodge this summer. Very glad you are here!

DiznyDi - I have not really started packing anything except our food boxes. LOL I guess that shows where the priority is. Since we are driving we do several picnics on the way and then bring as much of the food we can for the villa.

I have some lists made and am trying to catch up on laundry for the boys so it is clean to pack.

Oh & I noticed today is Nurse's Day. I know we have several groupies who are nurses. I'm always so thankful to y'all and could never do your job!

 

[blossomz]

Mmmmm. I love those PBJ shakes! Been really busy at school. These last 20 some days are so hard. As soon as school is ou 2 days later we are finally off to the world!

 

[DiznyDi]

Happy birthday dizny dad! Let's celebrate by going to florida.

 

[jimmytammy]

Well, its here, the last day

We are going to eat breakfast at Kouzzina then head out. So we will see yall when we get home.

Still hoping for a remote chance of seeing teapot!
