VWL Groupies...yes, we love the Lodge, a lot!!

We need a "hang in there smiley", Corrine I know your pain. LOL, Sid the squid is at the University of Cincinnati. That's an 12 hour drive through what has got to be the absolute dullest scenery in this country. pretty much after I get through Harrisburg PA, you see nothing but cows and corn. To top it off my mil, sil and neice decided to take the trip with us at the last moment. So it was 5 folks plus a boat load of crap stuffed into a rented town and country.

Eliza you are a riot! and 12 hours! Help me! I shall not complain about our 3 hour drive to Vermont!

We are in Atlanta this weekend for Braves games. Been here since Thurs. We had tickets for awhile but reluctant to come as Sneezy is still at vet. DD has been checking on her and says she is getting stronger everyday. Still not eating her food, but is fighting the staff there, so good signs. Sneezy calms down at sound and touch from us. So hope we get good news from labs.

Headed to Dawsonville, GA in a little while to Bill Elliott Family Museum, and Amicalola Falls(Appalachian Trail southern end starting pt). Tammy and I went to a retreat here on our honeymoon way back in 90. Been Elliott fans for long while(though racing got to glorified for us in later yrs)we still like him, wish he would race more often, might watch it again.

Last game later tonight then home on Sun.

Thanks for all the continued prayers for our little one.

Awesome Bill from Dawsonville! Have a great time
How is your kitty doing? Did they ever figure out what is wrong with her?

What's the Magic Band Plus? I could Google, but what fun is that?

Best wishes for parents returning students to school.

And good luck with that shower Corinne.

It's an evil device thought up by some one waaay younger than me to force me to move into the technology age but Disney will tell you...

It's a band you wear around your wrist. It's supposed to be rfid (fancy way to say radio waves to id you) enabled. so basically it has all your info on it. park passes, ddp if you use it and fp+. So now when you enter into the parks you just wave your wrist band and hopefully away you go.

My main problem is that it basically forces you to have a my Disney account on line. You prepick your rides, adr's etc on line
My second concern is that for right now you have an option of still getting regular key cards. I'm am willing to bet my salary that this will be done away with. I'm also willing to bet that it will be done away with very soon.

here's the dis review

OK, I teach at UCBA, and make the drive to southern NJ a few times a year. My heart sings when I'm on the Parkway...exits 32 -0!

How about those mountains in WV?

Oh my. When I heard the word band, I was thinking music . No, I'm serious

That description sounds awful. Ugh. Disney seems to not make it easy to love.

Thanks for the description (I think)

Happy Birthday Dodie!!!!

JT - I hope that Sneezy is very cranky and mad by the time you get back from your trip (and eating too)! It gets scary when they have no interest or concern with their surroundings. Sounds like she's fighting whatever is going on.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DODIE!!!

Happy Saturday Groupies!. I had another long week! Last Saturday we had a 6 hour round trip drive to drop our son off to his final year of college. As if I wasn't sad enough, my husband dropped my iPad as we were getting out of the car. Then my husband discovered a leak and soon came to the realization that it was coming from our new shower. They had to rip out the shower floor and re- tile. Anyway, we are entering our seventh month of this repair/ renovation, and it does look like it is finally coming to an end (I think!)

One high point though, I received and invitation to participate in the Magic Band Plus testing on my upcoming trip! So I have been busy planning, we aren't park commandos, and I'm not sure I like the idea of planning the actual rides or attractions so far in advance. It's a short trip, just me and my sister, but I am looking forward to it! We are staying at the AKV for the first time.

Hi Corinne!!! Such a major bummer about the iPad
I feel your pain with the shower---our roof just started leaking this week. My husband is up there now repairing it. We leave for WDW/Fantasy cruise in about 11-12 days. This was the worst possible time this should happen. Glad the renovation is almost complete. Maybe I will bump in to you in WDW???!!! We get off the ship on Sept 21 but don't leave until Sept 25 (@Movies).
PS: we got chosen for the Magic Bands too!!!!

I am sorry about your roof, but, since you are planning on a selling in the next few years, it will be good to have it done.

You will be in WDW too!!? I thought you were " just" cruising! I will PM you! We arrive 9/20, depart Monday, 9/24.

I have to post so I can see my ticker!!!!!

I keep thinking that February is such a long time away, but after being a stay at home mom for 6 years, I am going back to work teaching. I am realizing that the teaching world has changed so much in 6 years (technology, common core standards, evaluations etc.), that I am not going to have time to breathe, never mind plan my vacation! Good thing I have been many times so the planning is not too overwhelming! Just work.

So when I can squeeze in a little Disboard time, I will read away

Sneezy is eating!!! Off IVs, drinking water and back to her old self as much as can be at this point. Barb, her organs had gone haywire, and her kidneys had gone into acute failure according to vet. She has been at the vet for a week and 2 days(as Tammy says, seems a lot longer)and the day we dropped her off, it felt like we may not see her again. Prayers have been lifted up by many(and we appreciate each and every one from you folks)on her behalf. So at this point, we really hope tomorrow will be her day to come home.

Hope everybody has a great Sept.!!!

Good news! SO hard to have our pets sick....they are truly our families and when they are not well neither are the owners. Happy to hear that she is getting better each day!

For those who have stayed recently - they are still using the basket style drip coffee makers in the villas correct?

Come join us on the porch. Grab a rocker and relax.
I hope your return to work is a good one!

That is great news about Sneezy. May she return to you and continue to improve.

Well, they were like that last December. Hopefully a more recent visitor will chime in.
