Day Two (WL DIS Meet) May 22, 2004
Cast of Characters:
Me: MAGICinMYHEART/Beckie
Nephew: Nick
Niece1: Katie
Up early with a quick breakfast in the room then off to MGM Studios
for EMH. We drove over so I would have the car later for the drive over to The Wilderness Lodge for the WL DIS meet. We did all the must do rides, even meet some Aliens from a Galaxy far, far away, (Star Wars Weekend)
Chewbacca
I have no idea who this one is? Nick & Katie did.
We then had lunch at Sci-Fi Dine In, we had a great time (not crazy about the food) my niece and nephew loved the B Movies as did I, and the onion rings are wonderful.
After lunch my niece and nephew decided to head out for DTD. They didnt want to attend the DIS meet, go figure. (Katie started calling all my DIS friends my posse) I arrived at Wilderness Lodge early and headed to Roaring Fork for a cold drink, purchased a new mug and was ready for the meet.
I am not sure why but I was a little nervous I guess just meeting someone that you feel you know but you dont? Anyway Im there in the Lobby and I realize I may be the only one that shows up What will I do for two hours until my family meets me? Deep breath calm down I love the lodge it will still be great to explore all by myself if need be.
I look up, here comes Majestic it would be hard to miss Fred, we start talking just like two old friends then Dizsneykid Jeanne and her husband Marcel arrived. We pulled up some rockers and started chatting away. (Mostly about our Dear Roy FloridaCat and how we all wished he could have joined us) Next trip Roy.
After a few minutes another fan of WL shows up ALDISNEYFAN Marqueta, yes we are chatting away and welcoming Miss Marqueta to the group but looking everywhere for Tinkerbelle739, Ironz and floridafam
After visiting with each other Fred called upstairs and arranges for us to take a tour of the 7th Floor Concierge. Marqueta has to rejoin her family and says good-by for now. One of the Concierge CMs Daisy comes down to the lobby and escorts us to the 7th floor. We where met by the Guest Service Manager over Concierge Mark Newman, he was very nice and we received a warm welcome. After introducing us to the other CMs on duty Mark gave us a tour of the area and went into detail of all the upcoming changes to the 7th floor at The Wilderness Lodge. Mark has already started plans for two new lounges to be added to existing dead space areas on the floor. The designers have come up with some beautiful ideas, Mark also has several plans to update the Lodges offering by possible adding all the Jr. Suites access to concierge as well as all or parts of the sixth floor for guest who prefer the open balconies. We where shown one on the Deluxe Honeymoon Suites it was much larger then standard room and it has a beautiful bath area.
The information Mark was sharing was very interesting but the time was past my arranged meet time for my niece and nephew so I had to leave but told everyone I would wait down stairs until they had completed their tour. (Where they did meet up with floridafam.)
My niece and nephew ran into a problem with the bus so they where in fact a few minutes late but arrived before I started worrying. Then the group arrived back down to the Lobby and Marqueta also rejoined us. We all had our cameras so we started snapping away.
Fred/Majestic, Fred & Mark, View from 7th Floor, Dizney-kid/Jeanne & Marcel
As we all said our good-bys our thoughts where all with Roy and hopes of another meet soon with him as the ring-leader.
I had planned dinner over at Ft. Wilderness Campground at Trails End. Niece and nephew said they wanted to return to the resort and take a swim, which we did. After a swim my nephew was asking me about the AKL as we where talking I said lets go visit and eat there. We arrived and enjoyed the animals and the resort, Nephew told me he would love to stay there so next trip we will plan a few days visit. Tomorrow: Mission Space
