A big WELCOME to all the new groupies!!

 

[jimmytammy]

Can you add us to the list for Apr. 29- May 8?


If Ranger Stan is really retiring in June 09, I told DW we have to see him at least one more time. We have never stayed at VWL in May, so as all trips, looking forward to it.

Jimmy...you are on the list! I love adding those Groupie trips HOME!!

I am planning on going over to WL on my upcoming trip at least once. I want to see Ranger Stan again, and get our pictures taken with him. I've talked to him several times, but never taken his picture.

We won't be back until summer of 2009, and he may well be retired by then. In any event, I'd like the opportunity to thank him once again for his service and fellowship.

Welcome jamieandGreg and Dillon! Sorry I've been away from the boards a couple of days! School is officially OUT! I am now officially in my packing ritual! Time to purchase all the little travel items...(I love those!) and I found packets of liquid Tide over at Target...woohoo! I am down to single digits and will be sitting by Silver Creek Springs Pool with my frozen mocha drink soon!

First of all congrats and welcome!!!!!

Just wanted to let everyone know that we had a rough and scary night last night but we are fine. We were hunkered in our basement for about 3 hours with a tornado warning the whole time. It got pretty nasty and we got worried at times especially when the weatherman said there was a supercell headed our way with a possible tornado. Thank goodness it disappated till it got to us. We were also worried about the creek near our house. It got up to the top but didn't go over it's banks. We are all just feeling really bad about what happened at the boy scout camp. We aren't sure yet if we know anyone who was there but are hoping for the best. Iowa is sure a mess right now and any prayers, good thoughts and pixie dust would sure be apprecitated!

Tortured myself yesterday watching Jon and Kate at WL. Oh well only about 2 years till our next trip! Would love to do the meet in Dec. 09 but won't be able to take DD out of school.
Anyone notice how empty my posts look without my ticker? I think I need some more mooses!

 

[blossomz]

Glad you guys are OK...That must have been really scary!!!

 

[Disney loving Iowan]

Glad you guys are OK...That must have been really scary!!!

Yes it was! Thanks Blossomz! Glad your back! So jealous you are in single digits! Lucky!

Wow. What a scary night that must have been. I have never experienced the threat of a tornado, gratefully. I have been watching the news about the scouts. So very sad for all the families and friends of these fine boys. I heard that that group was the best of the best and that they, as a group, did quite a bit to help everyone in the area that was affected. Along with the military, the scouts are a great group of kids.

As far as our Groupie (that is coming in Dec '09!! ), here you go:

Three wanted to dance for you, because you have been through a lot.

 

[ransom]

Glad to hear you're OK, Disney Loving Iowan. We were in our basement for much less than 3 hours the other night, and that was bad enough. I can't imagine waiting for 3 hours! My nerves would be shot.

Yeah Blossomz! So happy for you that you are doing the single digit dance. Wishing you the most magical of trips! (Oooh, where do you get those frozen mocha drinks? Are they from Trout Pass? Sounds yummy!)


Welcome to our new groupies and congrats to jimmytammy on booking their April/May '09 trip!

We had a trip booked for November 16-22nd...We had a two-bedroom at the Villas at The Wilderness Lodge....We were going to do the MVMCP and the Osborne Lights....Now that Disney decided to change the Osborne start, we decided to change the dates of our trip...We are now going Decemeber 12-19th...We were able to get a two-bedroom at SSR...We are wait listed for VWL, AKL, BCV, and BV for the same dates...

We really were looking forward to staying at the WL again...We love it so much...But the holiday events are our major priority this trip....Hope our wait list comes through for the VWL...

I am really upset with Disney for changing the schedule they have followed for the past few years...They have started the Osborne Lights the same night as the MVMCP for the past few years...And now they are starting the day after Thanksgiving...I am also upset that it took them so long to announce this information since it was a major part of many visitors plans.

Hi Groupies,

Back from my week in the Southeast. Oh my, I've fallen in love with the Savannah/Hilton Head area. Had Paula Deen dinner and Bubba's lunch.
Yum yum. But can you say HOT! I'm back in the real northwest where the temps are in the 50's! Burr..... Would rather be in the pretend northwest where it is always sunny. My heart still belongs to VWL but I think HHI could be my second favorite.

First spot I visited on the web was the Groupies! Lots going on since I was gone a week. Congrats and welcom to Dillon and jamie&Greg.
DisneylovingIowan--I am so glad you and yours are safe. My heart goes out to the scouts.

Stay cool everybody.

Glad your ok! My DS & BIL as well as 2 of my nieces live in Iowa. They are just south of Mason City and my BIL is a minister. He ended up cancelling church on Sunday b/c so many people aren't able to get around due to the flooding. My one niece in Waterloo isn't able to drink the water at her house - but so far no flooding damage to her place. My mom is in S MN and they were having tornados just 20-25 miles away from her last night. I travel back for work every month and am supposed to go next week. I hate the whole tornado thing and am waffling a bit. It's been such a tough week in the midwest and it's so sad about the boy scout camp.

Yep...Trout pass...

I've just started drinking iced coffee - coffee was never meant to be iced (IMHO) - and have found it to be very delightful. So... is the frozen mocha thing anything like a Dunkin Donuts coffee coolatta only with a kick? I'm saving up all these little tidbits for our next trip!
