Hey Groupies!!!!

I was out of town for a while and unable to keep up with the DIS:scared1:

So for fun, here's my Lodge top 10:goodvibes

1. Boat to MK (leaving my favorite resort and going to my favorite park)

2. The walk to the boat dock from WL (I know similar, but still different in my mind. I just love the little path and the turn it takes):cloud9:

3. The WL lobby (no explanation needed!!!)

4. Standing in front of the geyser and looking at the WL at dusk/nighttime (it's one of the MOST beautiful sights on Earth):love:

5. Area on the 2nd floor (I think) of WL that has a outside patio and seating area overlooking the lake (pure beauty)

6. The WL logo (LOVE this!!!!!)

7. The gift shop and the mickey and friends statue by the door (I love the WL merchandise and just love the store.)

8. Carolwood Pacific room (just the perfect décor, theme, and history)

9. The VWL pool (One of my favorite pools on WDW property. The setting is so peaceful with all the trees around.)

10. The Lincoln Logs play area in the Whispering Canyon waiting area (just sweet memories of my kids playing here and being happy at the Lodge)

Ok, so that's it!!!! What do you think of my list?

It was a bit hard putting this list in order (I know, rough day right? LOL).
 
We're about 1 1/2 hrs from Pittsburgh. We haven't been there in a while. A meet would be fun. Late lunch?

Muush, you're probably sailing by now and enjoying that fabulous ship. Relax and enjoy. Take pictures!

Wishing everyone a sunny week-end and all our dads, a Happy Fathers Day!

Di I am e route to PGH for a wedding tomorrow !! Used to live in McKeesport!

Muush- Bon Voyage! Jealous!

Happy Birthday rfassett!!!!
 

Good morning all.

Checking out of Bonnet Creek in an hour and heading over to Disney Quest for a few hours.
Then off to Port Canaveral where we will meet up with the rest of the clan to board the beautiful Fantasy.

In the spirit of Sly (Congrats on the new addition!) Muush is signing off.........

Have fun Muushka !!! Tell the Fantasy I'll see her on Sept 14 :wave2::cheer2:

Late lunch sounds like a great idea to me! The dancing fountains at Station Square sounds like just the place! :thumbsup2

Late lunch in Pittsburgh works for us as long as we do not have to talk about the Steelers. :)

OK, Deal. :thumbsup2


You never said we couldn't talk about the Penguins ;)

:rolleyes1

Just kidding! :goodvibes

And BTW...
Happy Birthday rfassett!!!!

Update on Colorado Springs Black Forest Fire:

FOX21 News
NUMBERS UPDATE: From the #BlackForestFire Press conference at noon on Saturday, June 15:

45% containment
100 new firefighters
3,181 homes are untouched
473 homes are a total loss
17 homes are a partial loss
15,500 acres

They've reduced the evac area & About 4000 people (not in the burn area)have been allowed to go back to their homes. The situation is getting better but there's still much to do before the fire is at full containment. Also they still have about 6000 homes that have not yet been accessed about their condition. Thank you for your prayers!!

#5 is the area on the 2nd floor (I think) that is an open patio that overlooks the lake

I'm sure if you ask at the front desk they will know exactly what floor this is off of. Apparently, there are lots of weddings there at sunrise and sunset. It's beyond beautiful and overlooks the entire back of the Lodge and then onto the lake. I've only seen it during the day, but will definitely check it out at night when I'm there in March!

If it's the area above ground level (which is technically the second floor of the main lodge), then it's fourth floor, and yes, they do lots of weddings there. . .including ours on 5 July. ;) It's called the Sunrise Terrace, and it is gorgeous up there.

Yes!!! That's it. Thanks for posting the pic! Congrats on your wedding there.

Absolutely gorgeous! Can't wait to see pictures of the wedding! :love:
 
Went on my first solo trip with my 4yo daughter the week after Memorial Day. It was the best vacation I've had in my life! The resort is so relaxing, and I love hearing the themed music as I walk in and out of the main lobby. It was nice to do Disney w/o having to accommodate another adult. :)Seriously, watching the fireworks show at MK for the first time with my daughter was the most magical moment. I can't wait to go back!:)

Sounds like a wonderful trip!!! Glad you enjoyed it so much!
 
Boo! I emailed my guide to see if I'd moved up on the points waitlist. I haven't moved at all on the VWL list since I checked in with her mid April. Still 3rd. :sad2: I'm 4th on BWV list up from 13th when I started but I've pretty much decided I don't want the BWV points. I should just have her take me off the list for BWV so someone else can move up a spot.

I have a few times---the Dolphin only. Julie--we're FB friends....you can pop over to my photo album from Dec 2012 during our WDW trip. We stayed at the Dolphin on a "Santa" rate. It was like $120/night. But, like Kathy mentioned....the "fees" get ya. There is a resort fee (includes internet, newspaper and bottled water etc) and there is a parking fee. It was considerable---maybe had to add like $20/night or so ??? Kathy do you remember. I'd have to go back and find my bill from Dec. But the beds are SO comfortable. I will admit, for the money (regarding the rack rates), I feel the rooms are a bit dated---especially bathroom ? It was clean for sure I feel the Dolphin needs some updating though. LOCATION is awesome. We walked to Epcot from there and to the Boardwalk shopping/dining.
