Any chance we could shoot for the 9th?? Our dates are Dec 9-14. Which reminds me I have to PM Patrick!

DLI - it is so great to see you!!!

The 9th is when we are leaving!!

The 9th is when we are leaving!!

There are talks of possible 2 meets around this time. I guess once we all have our dates in for sure, we can look at dates closer

Patrick...are you signed up with the Member site to get the Member e-mails? The e-mail we were quoting came from DVC and I think I get one every month. Hard to remember with the AP e-mails coming as well.

Well, we've enabled them to contact us via email, but as far as signing up to actually get specific emails, maybe not. How would one go about doing that?

Worked for us didn't it Jimmy

Sleepy...I don't know how to request specific emails. I just wanted to be sure that your member profile on the Member web site had "permission to contact via email" clicked "on" with a valid email address. Once I did that, I get the sporadic DVC news like the recent one or more typically the Disney Insider...but come to think of it, that might be because of our annual pass?

Kathy...I think you and Princess Kati had about 4 Groupie meets on your last trip!

They just don't like us, I guess. Chris has an AP, and we're both on the title for one of our contracts. Perhaps they heard we weren't planning to buy any more points.

It worked really well, Tom, didn't it!!!

I had never heard of an atmospheric river until last year and I already detest them. What is a river doing up in the sky?! And if it's up there, why doesn't it stay there?! Lots of flooding going on in our area due to one. Our horses are miserable, the dogs don't want to go out and frankly, neither do I.

It's at least our 3rd 100 year storm in the past 20 years.

I can't wait to get to DL in a few days!

Ok, time to slog thru the water and mud and feed the animals.

Stay Safe!

Thank you! So far we're doing ok - some drips and such. Just a couple houses down there's a creek run off ditch that our neighbors are trying to keep flowing that could affect them badly if it backs up any more than it has.

Good Monday Morning Groupies!
We were successful in booking our December stay yesterday. I need to call in the next day or so and add 1 additional day.
I was given the extension by the CM that I spoke with yesterday should I need to call back. This is the first that this has happened for me. Like Granny, I call so seldom that if a call back is necessary, I have probably long lost the note that I wrote the ext number down on

We did a Groupie breakfast at Whispering Canyon a few years ago. Maybe we could consider this again - on the 9th so we can see Kathy and Katie before they leave. A lunch may work, too. Or we could gather in the WL lobby and have our picture taken by the tree prior to their departure. DDad and I are open to anything.

Kathy, enjoy your DL trip!

I'm interested in a meet that's a meal. I often try to organize one when we cruise.

I'm open to a "meal meet" too. And like DDad...I'm open to ALMOST anything.

So excited. I once again have two trips booked home. We will be there in July and I just booked another hubby and me only trip for December. We just got back from a hubby and me only trip last month. It was our first and we LOVED it!

DW & I have enjoyed our empty nester trips quite a bit as well. Very laid back and we find that instead of burning out on WDW, we look forward to our relaxing, low planning trips. Glad you had a great trip!

Just booked VWL for Dec 4-10!!

We recently booked VWL for Dec 3 - 11.

 

[Corinne]

Only if there's one earlier Corinne!

Kathy, please extend your trip so we can meet!!!! Unfortunately, I can't come earlier due to work commitments....maybe I'll have a new job by then!!
