I'm going Home!!!!

I found a good airfare for when the kiddos have a couple days off over MLK weekend. Called MS & they had a 1 BR available for my dates all except for Sun. night. So I booked it & will W/L for Sun. We'll be homelss that night, but oh well. I'll book a cash room somewhere. Do we get a cash ressie discount at the lodge? MS couldn't seem to answer that question. She transferred me to someone else, but I got tired of holding. I need the 2 queens. Just can't do the 2 doubles. I'm so excited! Hopefully I'll be saying that when I get back. DH isn't coming with us. It will just be me & the 2 boys. Lord help me!

 

[Muushka]

HL, I wish you could be a little more excited about your trip! Congrats!

About that discount at WL,no, I don't think you can get one, but if I am wrong, someone will correct me!

Have you ever stayed at Dixie Landings (POR)? We just love that place.
Oops, not sure if they are doubles or queens.

 

[horselover]

Yes, I am excited & I'm not afraid to show it! Going home to our beloved lodge. I didn't think I was going to get there until Dec. '09. Just booked a room at CSR for 1/18. The boys will have to live with the smaller beds. I just don't want to listen to "he's touching me!" or "keep your feet on your own side!" Worse comes to worse one of them can sleep with me. But, please send some pixie dust my way because I would be thrilled if we don't have to move. It worked for BW Dreamin' maybe it will work for me!

Horselover, Fantastic!

HD, welcome back and looking forward to your report.

JT, I asked about Stan when we checked in.
I so wanted to tell him you said hi! They said he had called and thought he would be back the next week, which would have been the last week of Oct.
Hope we get to meet him in December.

Everyone make sure you vote tomorrow! Oregon does mail elections. Kind of miss the polling booth.

Thanks Deb

I am wondering if he may have had knee surgery. I know he has knee problems and climbing those stairs to do Flag Family presents some issues. But he is a trooper.

I too want to see him in Dec. He is like the folks on this thread, family.

We are excited with you!

When we saw Stan over the summer he said he no longer needed surgery...hope it stayed that way...

Hi Groupies!
We're back after spending 10 busy days at the World. There were 11 of us ranging from 3 months to 87 years. Dear husband and I played tour guide.

We stayed at SSR, through did have dinner at Artists Point. It was wonderful!

The weather was most accomodating. Only 1 day of rain. Too bad we were sitting waiting on Fantasmic to start when the heavens opened up and the rains came down. Never did get back to see it...

We found the parks to be moderately busy. All of our transportation; bus, boat and monorail was outstanding. We never waited longer than 10 minutes anywhere.

At 78 years, this was my moms first trip. She received her '1st Trip' button and became the pin trader extraordinaire. I don't know what she hit on Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger, but she scored over 302,000, was named the Space Ace and posted the high score of the day. My dad passed away recently, so this trip was bittersweet. Mom thoroughly enjoyed herself and would go back again in a minute.

I've only skimmed the pages since I've returned. A hearty Hello and Welcome to all the new Groupies.

Congratulations horselover on your upcoming trip!

Granny - We'll be staying May 1 through 9, 2009 at VWL - Changed our SSR ressie to VWL today. Kindly update your list.

It's nice to be back on the Boards, I've missed all your friendly chatter.

Sleep sweet, all!

Welcome Back Di,

Wow you guys must be exhausted!! Glad to hear you mom enjoyed herself, I'm sure spending time at the world with her loved ones was great for spirit. I may have to borrow her though, that was some serious shooting. LOL.

Glad you had such a good trip. How awesome for your Mom to have such a good time on her first trip!

 

[Muushka]

Welcome back DiznyDi. And it sounds like the trip was a ball. I love the part about your Mom and Buzz!

 

[blossomz]

Sounds like a great trip DizneyDi!


Hey..I came home to a great surprise today!! I received a beautiful piece of framed artwork which I assume will also be a part of the tapestry in the new Kadani Village Lobby! It will fit nicely with the rest of my world artwork! Wow!

Happy Election Day everyone! Did anyone write in Stan?

 

[Dodie]

Sounds like DizneyDi had an awesome trip!!!! That's great about your mom! Welcome back!

That is a great idea! Can we go back and do a re-vote?

 

[jimmytammy]

DiznyDi

Great trip report! Especially about your Mom. Tell her there are a few envious people on here who having been trying for years to get that kinda score on Buzz.

That is so wonderful to hear she had such a great 1st trip.

 

[horselover]

Congrats on your artwork gift Blossomz. Sounds like it's very nice. Post a pic if you get a chance.

DiznyDi - tell you mom I'm extremely jealous. My highest score is only in the 100,000 range!

Well I changed my 1 night ressie from CSR to WL today. It seems like a ridiculous waste of money, but I couldn't help myself. I will be so much easier if we have to move to just walk across the way then to drive to another hotel. Notice I'm trying to justify it. Actually it was DH that said why don't you just book the back-up night at WL. If he's ok with the extra cash expenditure it's fine by me! I'm hoping the w/l will come through anyway or maybe there will be a discount code for Jan.

I wish I had thought of writing in Ranger Stan when I was at the polls!

We did that once(staying at WL for 2 nights then moving to VWL) and it was so nice. You know how folks ask for a certain view. We didnt get so much a view as more a smell. We were right at the smokehouse where they BBQ the meats for WCC. I loved that view!

Enjoy!!
