Happy Saturday Groupies. I'm cursing all the dumb fellow New Englanders who had to say we have almost made it through winter without too much snow! Lol, the only good thing is we had a snow day on Thursday!

My poor hubby came in from clearing up the snow the other night and asked how much longer until we are spending our winters in Florida!!

Hope everyone has a good day!

How much snow did you get Corinne? We got around 9". As much as I don't like the snow I still say we've been very lucky this winter. It could have been much worse. I know it's not over yet but it's mostly over. I'm sticking with that.

Ok smart groupies who can help me? I haven't had to edit my signature since the change over in format to the boards. It used to be easy. I need to remove SSR from my signature. If I go into my profile & click signature all I see are the pictures. You used to see the actual link codes. I don't see any way to remove the link. It just says preview. How do I edit it?

So Humphrey is reporting the Roaring Fork menu will be reevaluated before re-opening. I guess that's not surprising given it will be closed for refurbishment.
Hopefully they keep the favorites, or at least my favorite bananas foster Mickey waffles.

 

[jimmytammy]

Maybe there will be bushes over by the cabins. They won't mind a few unexpected guests I'm sure.

That's the spirit....the possibilities here are endless!! Toilet paper, soap, eggs, forks, maybe some syrup and flour or flaming bags of "you know what". While some of us make our way over on foot, others can provide cover from the back with water balloon slingshots that we can set up on the VWL balconies. I like our chances. It's on!

*recruit* the newbies !

Sounds good! And Jimmy, you can wear the same outfit that you use for your Boston Tea Party re-enactment!

ooohhhhh I want in on this!

Absolutely.....strength in numbers!!

Wow! I never knew we had so many schemers on here.

ATTN ALL GROUPIES

I see a groupie meet of a different variety going on here...meet by the footbridge at midnight, Granny, you bring the lanterns and pitchforks(not for hurting anyone, just to clear debris along the way, and scratch out ground for re-planting of pine tree seedlings that I am bringing from NC), Friendly, you bring the necessary tools(toilet paper, eggs, etc.) to make a point, Jen, you bring the balloons and recruit the artillery, Starwind,
can I get you to go over early, maybe 10ish as the EWP will be winding down, and see if we have any sympathizers, those willing to join the fight and horselover, you be in charge of the calvary, we will need them for reconnaissance, and watching the flank in case there is a backlash. Now where is Sleepy when you need him, he can be in charge of the Air assault. Anyone here have any Naval Operations experience? We can pin em in from Bay Lake! Sign up now, don't miss out, VWL Groupies unite as one.

Any others willing to join the the skirmish?


You know they say how history has a tendency to repeat itself

Disclaimer: I feel I come across as a violent person(for those who don't know me)but really I am not, I am just passionate about our "home"

I hope they are looking at making the menu slightly more interesting, though I like a few of the flatbreads and salads, hope they keep those. I would love to see a more well rounded menu like Contempo Cafe serves. I have a hard time convincing my family to eat there anymore as the menu has been rather blah for a few years. Thanks for reporting this via Humphrey!

Charge!!!!!

And I will confirm Jimmy is one of the kindest people I have ever met. Not an ounce of violence there. But when it comes to VWL well...............

Congratulations! We have 210 and love it... just not enough points.

 

[Flossbolna]

@horselover you can just delete the picture and that will do the job. Alternatively you can click on the button at the very right on the top of the editor field, like a sheet of paper and a wrench (? Not sure this is the correct English word, it is some kind of tool, English is not my first language...). This will let you see the coding.

You can go back by clicking on 'use rich text editor'

I was looking at the building map with all the floor plans and there are 2, 1 bedrooms on the 5th floor and 2, 2 bedrooms on floors 2-4 that are shaped funny. The 1 bedroom is L snapped and the 2 bedrooms are almost like a W shape. Does anyone know if there are pictures out there showing what they look like? I'm curious how they are different.

I have three big and I mean BIG dogs - a lab/grt pyrneese mix and two newfoundlands. I can bring bags and bags of that "you know what" too. Maybe Sleepy could use it in the air assault.

If you'd like to supplement that arsenal we have 4 horses that could contribute.

Those are referred to as the atrium rooms I believe. A few here have gotten those over the years. Allears.net has a picture of 2528:

I think the main difference you see is in the living/kitchen area. The closest we ever came to them is right next door in 5524. The 5th floor does have solid balcony walls so they feel more closed off.

You win!

It would be a nice mix of ammo.
