Happy Birthday Granny!

Did you know, that when Googling "VWL Disney" your picture comes up? It really does. (2011 Holiday M&G, there are others in the pic too.) Eliza got me going: After seeing the handful of beautiful ones she posted, I had to see more.

DDad & DI~You are definitely starting the number of sleeps way ahead of me! I usually don't start til 10, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to start now......anyway, it reminds me, about 2 weeks ago, my manager said her husband stated they only had three more sleeps til vacation and she thought he was so clever! I explained it's common with us Disney crazed people

Eliza...those are the best birthday card pictures I could ever want. And yes, it makes me smile every time I think of the Groupies who even take pictures of elevator doors!

Maria...somehow I missed this post on the "multi quote"...thanks for the great picture! What a fun time that was (though short) and of course any excuse to go to the WL lobby is okay with me! And your graphics are superb as always! Thanks!

It was very short I agree. We were there with my daughter and son-in-law-to-be. We had just done the Disney wedding tour? Or we were headed to it? It was a hectic day for us. We had lunch at Whispering Canyon and tried to sort through the pros and cons of the two wedding location sites they had (WDW vs Florida Aquarium in Tampa). WDW won in the end. If it weren't so hectic that trip, we could have spent a little more time. I'm sure paths will cross again. Enjoy your day!!!!

Twinklebug...well you know I just had to go out and do that Google thingy and you are quite right! Here's a sample of some of the pictures out there from that search....

What fun looking at the pictures this morning. Brings back many happy memories of the folks we've met over the years!

Granny, Happy Belated Birthday! We'll celebrate together is a few short weeks

Temps are going to get in the 70's for us today. It's about time the sun comes out.

Enjoy your day, Groupies!

I am excited this AM as I listen to Amazon Prime Music(just found out we get it as Prime members for free)1st song I chose was Gordon Lightfoots "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald", a song heard often around OKW. So it prompts me to find some WL music, I will let yall know what I find

Di glad to hear its warming up in your neck of the woods, so glad all that cold weather is behind us now

Granny loving the pics as that last one brings back some great memories, and the 1st one reminds me too of folks we have been fortunate to meet thru the years. Groupies are the best hands down

Uber excited found Aaron Coplands "Fanfare For The Common Man" got my WL swag going now!!

 

[twinklebug]

My first thought upon sitting at the computer this morning and seeing my meeting was pushed off until later: I need music! Then I read your post JT, we have Amazon Student prime & it works for the music as well! Just wish I had time to build a playlist there. Penciling that in for later Thanks JT!

Some more VWL ... ummm... fun(?) for you this morning, look what I found:
http://www.laundryview.com/disneyworld/

For anyone staying in a studio, this is good news. Now they need Kidani on there.

Amazing technology! My daughter had this when she was in college. She could sit in her room and study and know exactly when a washing machine or dryer was free. Cool stuff!!!!

Thanks for the share about the laundry. This has been one of our issues with staying in studios, though we love 1 beds, at times, a studio works well with pts. but packing causes issue. We are going in Dec. 2016 after our SIL gets back from his deployment with plans to have a studio for us, and one for him and our DD at VWL and hoping to stay 10 nights. This makes the stay easier to manage knowing we can get our clothes done without standing there the whole time.

Tuesday Trivia​

One of the newer additions to Main Street, U.S.A honoring persons integral to WDW's success is not a window but a door. Dedicated in 2005, it pays tribute to the current, former and future WDW cast members with the inscripition:
"Open since '71 Magic Kingdom Casting Agency, it takes people to make the dream a reality. Walter Elias Disney, Founder and Director Emeritus"

The door is at the end of the Disney Clothiers building, next to the Hall of Champions.

uber cool!!
