Corinne...well, someone had to take up Muushka's banner for her! We used to argue about the looks of the original couch especially!

I mean, what's not to love with that couch!

It hid the stains well.

Granny, that’s a rhetorical question, I presume?

Ok, after I watched the video, I sent it to DH, and he put it up on our TV screen I watched it again. We both will have our second vaccine by the time we have reservations to go to WDW, VB and HHI at the end of February when our points expire. So, I took off two nights at VB, and booked 2 nights at CC, the other Villa at WL!

 

[Corinne]

That’s great Bobbi! I was going to ask if anyone has been vaccinated yet. We have reservations to fly to SRQ in mid March, but it is looking like we will have to cancel. My sister and bil flew done early this month. while the flight and airport experience was fine, they’ve noticed many people not wearing masks in public. A stark contrast from MA.

We have friends who live in FL and they have been to WDW numerous times, including between Christmas and New Years. They are also in their 70’s as we are, and they have felt safe at WDW. I’ve gotten them a night when we are there, we are looking forward to the Festival of the Arts and to seeing them!!

We will be at the BWV for easy access to Festival of the Arts, then DH and I head to WL!

I think bc masks are mandated at WDW it IS safer than other public spots in FL.

I have a friend who got home today from slightly less than a week trip to WDW. He said the best thing about being there, his heels didnt get run over by strollers and wheelchairs

Saw an article this AM on a Disney fan site that had an update to the masks policy, basically regarding wearing clear masks, and the rules within their normal guidelines. I didnt know there were clear masks

Anywho, this was the part that caught my eye. It went on to state that having the vaccine, even with proof, does not warrant not having to wear a mask. I have wondered along the way how WDW would handle this. It seems it could be a slippery slope to go down, having to check everyone to see if vaccinated or not. Everytime you enter a resort, park, DS, etc., you would need to be checked. That could create a small nightmare for CMs.

I know you folks are with me on this, just ready for life to get back to normal, whatever that is

Amen to that, brother.

I have seen a couple customers with the clear masks. They are good for people who work with the deaf. Also on the vaccination part I have seen that there are people making fake records now. Ugh. So I don't think they should trust them anyway.

Yup. I just posted this elsewhere, but reading my news I came across an article that said one of the newest variations of the virus is resistant to the vaccine. The scientists were quoted as warning us that things may not start to return to "normal" until fall or early winter 2021.

Hm.

Ahhh, that makes perfect sense! See, DLI, I need folks like you to make me see beyond my own little world. Thanks for the clarification

Nooooooooo!!!!! Praying hard for some light at the end of the tunnel

Well, the new Carpet does have an Aztec feel, but I kinda like it. Red Doors, fine. Light fixture kinda bland.

Loved the music Jimmy! I am going to subscribe!

I am going to offer a suggestion for Netflix. I just completed 24 hours of season 1 of the “Arthdal Chronicles”. Exceptional storytelling, beautiful cinematography, editing, & casting. So exceptional I didn’t mind reading the subtitles. Highly recommend.

Good morning! Glad we in Cape May have rain, not snow! We had about an inch yesterday, so things looked pretty for awhile.

 

[Disney loving Iowan]

This past week has been a bit hard with everyday thinking about what we would have been doing on our trip had we not pushed it back but today would have been our departure today. Right now we would be getting ready to leave and I would be so depressed. So glad I still have our trip to look forward to. I hope everyone in the path of the storm is doing well!

Prayers for those in the NE storm path

I was just chatting with my aunt and she said it is waist high and my friend said about 20" so far where she is. Yikes. I'm not missing home right now.

Happy Tuesday Groupies. Very wet heavy snow here in Mass. I worked from home yesterday and today. I am trying to decide if I want to add on Resale BLT or Direct Riveria. We visited Riveria in December and fell in love. Right now the”deal” direct is. It that much more than resale. Yes it’s more but not what it has been in the past. Seems Disney has been buying back a lot of resale contracts the past couple of months.

I went back and actually watched the video. I don't hate the new carpet - but I don't love it. Still doesn't have a lodge feel to me.

One thing I did notice as he was walking into the main entrance of the lodge - where is bell services? Is it still being offered? If not can we use the carts? Am I telling everyone without actually saying it that I do not know how to pack light? I mean come on - 4 adults 3 of which are women for 11 nights with enough groceries to cook just about all of our own meals - we are going to need that help!
