WELCOME wdwloverz! Always a pleasure to welcome another Groupie to our little corner of the Dis. If you'd like to add our mascot moose to your siggie, I believe the instructions are on page 1 of the thread.

Just watched a video of the new Fantasyland. Gosh I want to go soooooo bad!!!! So hard not having a trip planned. Getting a house is more important right? Just gotta keep telling myself that.

Just wanted to check-in. I will catch up next week. Have had a glorious week here at home. Off to the Dream now to see how she will interact with Sandy. There has already been a change of itinerary, but I don't care. I suspect DCL will show us a great time inspire of Sandy. See you soon at the rockers.

We booked our very first trip on cash (rather than using points) after seeing the first pictures a few weeks ago. We are staying value (is that a bad word here? ), but we just have to see new FL!!

Thanks JT! Been going to alot of open houses. Just waiting for our closing on our DVC in December to really be able to do anything.

Hey I would stay in a value right now to be able to go and see it! Of course I would make sure I made a visit to the Lodge!

Kathy, me and the boys have been kicking around the idea of trying to get in a trip in December because of that darn video.

We desperately need some happy days. (yesterday was my 25th anniversary boy this sucks).

eliza...I think of you often.....
I hope and pray you can manage a trip to the World in December. Maybe we'll even be there around the same time
Happy anniversary my friend and hoping the upcoming holidays hold wonderful memories as well as the opportunity to make new treasured memories for you and your family.

The new special they had out made it a pretty good deal for us (Stay, play, dine), even if only for 5 nights. We are definitely planning on taking a break on MK day to visit the lodge!!

Eliza, I hope you manage a trip, you need and deserve it.

Our dear Eliza, I hope a December trip works out for you and your boys. The Christmas decorations and festivities will make a nice diversion for you.

Wishing you a Happy Anniversary! May your cherished memories of your beloved husband warm your heart and bring a smile to your face.

Hi Kathy...
We're booked on cash (except for 2 nights at OKW). I considered value but the beds kill our backs. I'm leaning towards a Nurse rate at the Dolphin $159+ resort fees of $14/day. But mostly because our friends will be at the Beach Club and we'd like to be close by. We shall see. Going to make the decision tomorrow.

Kathymford
Value is not a bad word if it gets you in the World We take advantage of staying there at beginning of trips if we get a good AP rate.

Eliza
Sending MooseDust that the Dec trip will come your way. Your strength amazes me, to the point you inspire me. Remember this, we love you here on the groupies, and you will always be in our hearts and on our minds

rfassett
Have a great time!

Two weeks to go before our wedding planning trip at the World. Luvvwl and I have put in a waitlist for BLT for F&W Festival, but that hasn't come through and at this point likely won't, but we're okay with that since it means we'll just have to stay at our beloved Lodge. We plan to hit the F&W a few times, catch our fave restaurants, take in the decorations, and make final plans for our wedding/reception at the Lodge for next July. I'm ready to see some Magic!

How exciting! So we should all be receiving an invitation in the mail right?

Just saw the weather report. Getting really worried about Sandy. Looks like it may be pretty bad. Hope it isn't another Agnes. We had 4 feet of water in our basement that time. Also we are supposed to fly out on Thursday for a trip back to Iowa. Getting concerned about what will be happening with air travel at that time.
Anybody else in the east concerned?

Here is what the Weather Channel is saying.

I definitely love the lodge, but I just got on a wait list to add 50 points at Grand Californian. April is my use year. If it comes through next April, that'll be okay.
