***The VWL Groupies & Trivia Thread*** Chapter 2!

[50 years Too!]

Wow, a lot happening on one page in one day!

DisneyNutzy--so sorry your son was sick, no fair in Disney and his birthday.
I can commiserate. My daughter came down with chicken pox on the second day of her first trip to the World. Not a happy 3 year old.

JT What a cool wall dedicated to the lodge! I'd love to make the cross stitch. Did Tammy just copy the design or did she find a pattern?

HD I missed your initial report about the job loss. That must be very stressful! Nice of you to hang in there for your employer. Good luck finding another job.

Hey JimmyTammy,

I was so tickled (and honored) to see my card on the wall in your lovely home. Thanks for posting the photo. It made my day!

So glad to hear that Tammy is on the mend.

50 Years Too, I will send you a PM soon about that cross stitch pattern. She knows the answer better than me

cheer4bison, I am eventually going to frame the cards and letters as well

Good Morning Groupies!
Fun reading all the new posts this morning. Hope everyone enjoyed their holiday week-end!

...High Ho, High Ho, it's back to work we go.....

 

[Tarheel Tink]

Hey everyone! Just bumping up. Hope all are doing well. Only 157 more days until getting home to my beloved lodge...

Hi Tarheel. We just crossed over the 200 barrier ourselves. Only 199 to go. Looks like I won't have to fret over ADRs since I now have til the 90 day mark as of the 15th. Or so I have heard.

What?? Did the ADR change? Go to sleep at the wheel for 5 minutes and look what happens!!!

Say, has anyone seen Island Mouse, the groom??

We need a wedding update!

 

[blossomz]

I've heard bits and pieces about it going to 90 days for ADr too!

till no Island Mouse?

 

[mickeymorse]

I read this on another web site. Seems they are looking at 90 day ADRs instead. Oh great, another reason to procrastinate some more

Good morning, Groupies!

Looks like we're coming up on a "Groupie dry spell" with a whole 2 1/2 weeks with no Groupies at WDW!

And come on folks...are you telling me that we don't have any mid-May/early June Groupie vacations next year? Or have the new reservation rules just messed up everyone?

As for the ADR's, I see that they have changed the rules on that but I don't pay much attention as we don't make many ADRs. For my next 9 day trip we have one ADR for my anniversary evening at Le Cellier. Other than that, we always wing it and find that works better for us with minimal issues.

OOPS! That would be me! Thanks for the gentle reminder, Granny!

DH and I will be staying at VWL the night before the DIS Podcast Cruise (5/9) and again for two nights following the DIS Podcast Cruise (5/14 & 5/15)!!! And yes - there is a DCL cruise in the middle of that! Woo hoo!

 

[Granny]

DODIE!

Groupie Trip Plan report has been duly updated!

Good morning Groupies!

I got a good scare last night when I got up from watching tv and was walking into the kitchen....and saw a snake in the middle of the floor!!! And our kitchen is on the second level! My dogs were wondering what the heck was going on in the middle of the night when I had to get up and I was flipping on all the lights and peering around the room before I'd even put a toe off the bed. I've decided I'd much rather be dealing with lizards at the lodge, thank you very much!

And speaking of the lodge, I am thinking about booking a stay next May - just have to figure out some dates and call to see what's available.

Hope everyone has a great day and please wish me luck that the snake doesn't have siblings that somehow followed him in!!!!

And I thought the moths were bad! How did you get rid of it? Do you know what kind it was?

 

[DiznyDi]

I Hate Snakes!!
Actually I'm scared to death of them. We're very rural and usually end up with one every year or so... but they're OUTSIDE! My dear husband always takes care of them...one way or another. I simply won't go outdoors when I've spotted one.
I give you alot of credit for keeping your composure let alone being able to write about it!
So what did happen to the fellow?

That's my favourite restuarant. Not cause its Canadian either, Eh!
The filet is melt in your mouth, and the mussels are the best I have had anywhere. Good choice Granny

I'm still shuddering about it and keep checking the floor. The removal included me screaming my husbands name. The way he came flying up the stairs I don't think I had ever called for him in quite that way before. Other than going to get him a coat hangar I didn't go anywhere near it. We think it was a gopher snake and have seen a couple of them around the house about once a year. This was just a little bitty one but wow he was nasty! Kept hissing and trying to bite my husband. DH finally pinned it's head down and then was able to grab it close by the neck so it couldn't turn and bite him. He then deposited it outside and I am hoping it headed for a different house in the neighborhood.

The gopher snakes look enough like rattlesnakes that I just don't like it. Last summer one of our neighbors did have a rattlesnake in their barn so I'm still very wary. And the worst thing is that little snakes don't usually just come in singles. Two days ago I had left the door open for the dogs for about 20 minutes. I'm hoping that's when he made his entrance b/c I don't want to think that we've got some other hole that we don't know about. The doors definitely stay shut from now on!!!!!!!

 

[Muushka]

Eeewwwww. I'm with you, I hate snakes. Hopefully that was a 1 time visit.
