Speedy recovery horselover!

 

[wildernessDad]

Less than 3 days now until I step into our beloved lodge if all goes well! Final preps underway.

I am ready to vacate the cold northeast for the warm southeast!

 

[DisneyNutzy]

BWV - Great Train set-up

HL - Hope you heal up quickly!

To all the Groupies currently at the lodge and those of you headed there soon- Have a great time and remember some pictures for the rest of us.

 

[blossomz]

Horselover! So glad you are back up and around!

Wilderness Dad..wishing you a great time! Can't wait to get away from the frigid temperatures we have today! (although they say it is to warm up!).

Anyway...

 

[mickeymorse]

HL. Wishing you a very speedy recovery

BWV. Love the train set up. A friend of mine has a whole back yard devoted to his set. Pulls right into a shed to get out of the elements.

WD. Have a great time and I will try to keep a countdown going for all the groupies to enjoy.

Hi Groupies
Just catching up..... I'm back in Boston.... Great NYC trip.

Leave tomorrow for our last college road trip (thank the good lord). Off to Lexington Kentucky for the University of Ketucky. I have been to more states with this kid in the last 4 months than I have in my entire life. All this for a kid who when you ask him to go take the dog for a walk, looks at me like I asked him to go climb Mt. Kilmanjaro. With my luck after all this, he'll end up around the corner at Camden Community College.

I am sooo going to be a burden to my kids in my old age. Wish me luck.

I can relate With 3 DD's we visited just about every college in the northeast.
the oldest ended up in DC the 2nd in Florida ( still lives there ) and the baby
stayed just a few miles outside of Boston.
I too plan to give them a hard time in Happy Way.

OK. my fellow groupies... I don't know what possessed me...but I kept looking at that little mailing about HURRY! DON'T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY!! so...I called my guide...I have no backbone!!! I submitted and now own 25 add on points at BLT! I must be crazy!!! I don't think there is much hope for me!

Congrates and Welcome Home.... Enjoy your Points

This armadillo crossed our path last night near the Villas

JimmyTammy
WOW great Pics ARMADILLO!!!! I think DH would of had a Stroke if we can across this guy???

 

[tea pot]

Jimmy...thanks for the pictures. They are great! Love the one with your family and Ranger Stan. "King Groupie"....love that name, Muush!

I tried and tried to get good pictures of Osborne Lights and other night time photos on my camera and have never been able to really make it work. Some day I hope to have the talent (or camera) that will make that possible!

I had the same problem then My DD sugessted to turn OFF the FLASH and it worked the pictures were great... give it a try.

To all the VWL Groupies......here's a video of our Disney Christmas Train Garden. It just snowed when I filmed it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0XTZrK0l1Y

Love It..... You can see the time and love it took.... great job

pardon me if i don't use correct punctuation. i'm the one handed typist at the moment. made it through the surgery. damage was a little more extensive than dr. thought. 1st couple of days have been very painful. feeling a little better today. as long as i don't move my shoulder i'm ok. i've been sleeping in a recliner in our basement family room. ds#2 has been sleeping down there with me in case i need anything. very sweet. i'm all by myself today since the boys are at school and dh went to work. should be an adventure. thanks for all the good thoughts.

OH poor kid.... take the Pain Meds. Are you going to have Physical Therapy?? Pixie Dust and Prayers for a speedy recovery

To all the groupies going to or in the world now, Have a Wonderful Magical Time

JimmyTammy:: An Armadillo?! How neat to see one by the VWL!

Hi Groupies!

Jill

I hear ya, Jill - it is FREEZING here (we're in central NJ as well); I'm wishing to be in VWL sooner than later. I need some FL sun.

disneynutz - love your pics from the other thread!

Welcome back, wishing you a speedy recovery! What a sweet DS you have there!

Hi Groupies
Just catching up..... I'm back in Boston.... Great NYC trip.

Bummer we missed each other! We were in the city yesterday and it was FREEZING!!! Did you get to check out Mary Poppins, Little Mermaid or Lion King?



Hope everyone has a great evening...I'm off to bed.

Sorry we missed you but not sorry we missed the cold.
We ended up getting tickets to Phantom.. Wow what a show.
Friday morning we did some serious damage at Century 21 love that store!!
then took the 4 pm train back to Boston.

 

[KAT4DISNEY]

Thought I'd share.....Went driving around a couple of nights ago in MN and found the first two decorations that made me think of the lodge. The third one I just thought was cute!

 

[MiaSRN62]

Horselover : Get better very soon ! No worries about the punctuation !

Blossomz : Congrats on the BLT ! We've got our eye on some points there too !

eliza : Hang in there with the road trips ! We just did this over the summer but you've driven to way more places than we ever did. Don't they all start to look alike after awhile ? Keep on truckin' !

Laxmom and DVC MIke : Have a wonderful time at VWL ! Maybe you two will bump into eachother during your stay ? And Mike...I think I could be very happy with the Lake view villas at BLT : )


cheer4bison : Hope your family is enjoy the GF (must be pretty in Dec). But brisk ? My dd who is a freshman at FL Tech in Melbourne said a similar thing the other day. She comes home for Winter break on Friday. I told her she ain't see nothin' yet ! We're a "code blue" here in Phlly and burbs. Our nighttime temps are in the teens with wind chills in the single digits for days now. I would love to be in brisk sunny Orlando !

BWV Dreamin : WOW ! The train garden is awesome. Love it !

Kat4Disney : Have a super first DVC trip ! Looking forward to hearing all about it. Enjoy your stay at OKW ! Love the pics. COOL MOOSE figure !

Jimmytammy : Thanks so much on the Ranger Stan update. So sad about his bil. The photo of you and your family in front of the WL tree is so awesome. And thanks for the other photos as well. It takes skill to get those Osbourne Lights pics and I give u credit. We were there last Dec and this is the only one out of like a dozen that came out well :

 

[Granny]

And of course there are another 8 Groupies checking in to VWL later on in December.

It is indeed the "most wonderful time of the year". Enjoy WL/VWL and WDW in all it's Christmas splendor!!

 

[KeepSwimmingDory]

KAT4DISNEY - cute decoration pics

Saw Phantom when it came to Omaha and loved it! I never even saw it before. Can't wait for the Little Mermaid and Mary Poppins to come here.

Four. More. Days.

Yeah, I know, 47th trip, and every bit as crazy-excited as ever! DH talks about nothing else. Woo hoo!

Nothing like unfettered joy for a little bit

Kickapoo! I think I asked you about your screen name a long while ago!

We are just like you, probably the same number of trips, just as excited (both of us), like the first time .

Have a wonderful time.
