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

[Disney loving Iowan]

Thank You!!!! I knew I could depend on my fellow groupies to help me feel better!!! I guess there are just some people out there who like to be rude! I think I will now just let it go and not let it ruin my night. I will instead think of all the good and supportive people I have had the pleasure of meeting on this thread!!! You rock!!!

Hi DizneyDi,

How've ya been?!

Deb

Hi Groupies! I've had quite a week and have missed the Boards these past few days. to all the new groupies!

My Dad (78) has experienced rapidly declining health these past 2-3 weeks and culminated in hospitalization today. Cancer is the suspected culprit. Tests and biopsy's are being done to determine a course of treatment.

My nephew, recently home from Iraq was married today and was quite handsome in his Marine uniform. The ceremony was officiated by our daughter - a recently ordained American Baptist Pastor. This was a very bittersweet day with Grandpa of both the Groom and the 'Reverend' in the hospital and not able to participate in the celebration.

On the upside, I've made the reservations for our daughters honeymoon. They'll be staying at our beloved Lodge March 16-20, 2009.

DLI - I'm with you - there are definitely good and supportive people here!

 

[Dodie]

I'm back! I'm back from our weeklong land tour of Alaska! We're exhausted (slept 14 hours last night)! I'll get myself together and post more later - but wanted to rush and post a picture that my husband Phillip took that will be NEAR and DEAR to the Groupies' hearts!

Also, here's one more that I can't resist posting. They say only 30% of visitors to Alaska actually see Mt. McKinley due to typically cloudy conditions. Here's what WE saw:

Hi DizneyDi! Welcome back to the boards. Sorry to hear about your Dad. Sending along some The wedding sounds awesome and what better place to start a marriage than the Lodge!

[Muushka]

Dodie!!!!​

Love love love the moose. And the mountain. How lucky were you! And I am sitting here in my Mickey Moose T shirt, from Alaska! Not that I have ever been, a friend had to get me one! I digress. welcome home! Please feel free to share any pictures you care to post. I love 'em! I'm glad you had a good time .

DiznyDi, I, too am sorry about your Dad's health. I hope that they can do all that is possible, medical advances are awesome today. And the wedding sounds wonderful. I imagine the groom was quite handsome in uniform. Please than him for me for his service to our country. I hope they all know how much we appreciate all that they do.

 

[mickeymorse]

Sorry to hear about your father DiznyDi. A little groupie Hope it helps.

DODIE!!
Great pics. Hope you have more to share with us.

DLI. No, you rock.

 

[MiaSRN62]

Dizny Di....so sorry about your father........glad to see you back here though. Thoughts and prayers to your family.

Dodie....loved that moose !

I'm here sitting in my hotel room by the airport (we drive into WDW tommorrow). Almost missed our flight because traffic in Philly was HORRIBLE ! Luckily dh knew how to navigate off the expressway and around the traffic, but we checked our luggage at just 65 min prior to take off ! Love Southwest ! Our luggage made it with us and we landed in Orlando 30 min ahead of time !
But gas here outside my hotel is $5.29 !!!!! I hope it's not this high closer to WDW

 

[Muushka]

Yay!! Maria made it!!

Good news about the gas. We find the cheapest place (other than driving to Sam's Club) is at the Car Care center right there outside of MK. Free air too!!!

Have a great time. We'll be thinking about you!

 

[Corinne]

DisneyDi~ sending thoughts and prayers to you & your Dad

Dodie~Awesome photos! Looking forward to hearing more about your trip, welcome back!

Maria~$5.29 for gas! When we were at WDW in early July we actually found the prices slightly lower than home (MA)

 

[MiaSRN62]

Thanks Muushka !

I'm hoping Muushka is right and the price is only high because we're across from the airport.

 

[jimmytammy]

Sending well wishes for your Dad and your family to you, and prayers upward.

 

[blossomz]

Glad you made it Maria! Have a GREAT time..we'll be waiting to hear all about it! When we were there in June gas was the same price as at home.

 

[bgraham34]

Woohoo my waitlist for the other 3 days came through. Thanks for those who sent Pixie Dust. My wife is so excited.

We will definately have a magical trip.

 

[wildernessDad]

Very nice moose picture! Looks like there is down on his antlers!

 

[Simba's Mom]

Hi Guys! I'm not a VWL Groupie, but bobbiwoz thought y'all might like to see this cute moose picture. And you thought WDW was the only one with designs in their butter!

Has anyone been to the "real" Artist Point?

 

[bobbiwoz]

DisneyDi, I'm remembering your family in my prayers.

Wow, Dodie, that's a mighty fine moose! I hope to see some in Yellowstone, I have a trip coming up at the end of this month. Simba's mom clued me in on a great place to eat that has butter in the shape of moose! Oh I wish my computer would let me post pictures!

Bobbi

 

[blossomz]

OMG! I love that butter moose! Are you sure you don't want to join our groupies? The only requirement is a love of Lodge.

I've been to Artist Point a few times. It is wonderful! The salmon is everything they say it is and so is the cobbler. The mushroom soup is fantastic!

Thanks for stopping by!

 

[bobbiwoz]

Simba's Mom! You're the best!!Thanks.

Where's it at? I have disney on the brain because I thought that one was the only one.

My prayers out to you and your family Di. I too have an elderly father, it's hard. Congratulations on the celebration, Marines always look good in uniform ( don't tell the old guy I said so, he's a Navy man )

Also, here's one more that I can't resist posting. They say only 30% of visitors to Alaska actually see Mt. McKinley due to typically cloudy conditions. Here's what WE saw:
