Happy Birthday Dodie!!! ​

 

[Disney loving Iowan]

Hope you will all be ok there in Texas. My daughter had lots of rain/wind in Tallahassee, FL---and tornado warnings. One touched down in Jackson County (she's 2 counties away in Leon County). She had a job interview on Monday at the FSU Marine Coastal Lab---that area was evacuated and her interview was on the FSU campus. She found out yesterday she got the job

No special plans for the weekend for me. I will be hanging around the house, doing homework and packing for our upcoming trip !!!! I have to work on the actual Labor Day holiday

Wishing all an enjoyable and safe holiday weekend !

Congrats to your daughter!!!!!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Hi everyone -- haven't been on too much... the real world is back in the form of school schedules and other stuff! So busy with lots of homework... old kitty (19) had to go to the vet -- staggering around... skinny. Vet determined he is hyperthyroid, which we can hopefully help with medicine. Other treatments are over a thousand dollars and we can't afford to spend that on such an old fellow. Had an MRI on my shoulder. THAT was interesting. We'll see what they find! In a way, it is good that we are so busy. Soon the holidays will be upon us. Only 4 months till Christmas!!!!!!!!! Once we get to the new year, then it will make more sense to be Disney obsessed. (At that point, it will be a half a year away, but it's still better than 10 months!)

I'm sure I've missed lots of important stuff, but no time to catch up now. Off to church!

Have a great holiday weekend!

Hi Muushka and everyone ~
I'm back in school---taking two classes this semester (WHY do I do this stuff to myself ?!!! ). Swamped between work and schoolwork My trip to WDW and our Fantasy cruise is in like 24 days ! I actually have to do a good amount of my schoolwork ahead of time before we leave since I'll be gone for amost 2 weeks. So it's crunch time for me. Sorry for the boring explanation I am working on Labor Day in the Delivery Room. Let's see how many mom's will be "laboring" on Labor Day !
Hope everyone has a safe and blessed holiday

My Labor Day was kinda laid back.

I watched quite a bit of the NCIS Labor Day marathon
Then while we were getting ready to go to town we got started on Tangled (first time I got to watch pretty much the whole thing)
And then Kati and I went in to Home Depot to buy the rest of the paint I needed to finish the rooms that I plan on doing plus a stop at Walmart for some steaks for dinner.

Didn't get a whole lot done this weekend, but I have been resting. Hurt my foot a week ago and now I only have a little over two weeks to get it better before the kids and I arrive at home for the birthday celebrations!

We have had another day of triple digit heat!!! We just got a small shower and a light wind the other day from the remnent of the hurricane. We were hoping for a little more rain, but at least we got some.

Hope all the groupies had a good holiday.

Howdy Groupies & Groupettes! And welcome to the post-Labor Day season!

I see a number of us getting are ready for school, being in school, preparing for school, ratcheting up the football spirit, lamenting the political commercials and dialog; but I see the desire to be in The World still is the main event in our thoughts!

To those of us within days of a Disney dream, and those of us that have months of dreaming yet to be, may all find refreshment in knowing that The World awaits us . . .

And yeah, Muush, what is with the 24 hours and no posting!?! Obviously I had nothing to say this morning, but wanted to keep our virtual Groupies meet up toward the top of the listing . . .so let’s keep posting!

 

[jimmytammy]

Hope everyone has a wonderful week!

Wife and I next month will be checking into a 1 bdr. villa at the Villas of Wilderness Lodge. I am reading reports that the coffee makers at all deluxe resorts have been replaced by a single serving pod style coffee maker. We like to make a full pot of coffee in the morning.

Has anyone been there lately and can confirm that the 10-12 cup Mr. Coffee makers have been replaced?

Oh man, kill me now, if this is true I purchased a second Owner's Locker to hold my Keurig, in May. I had to pay my annual fee for my OL Sept. 1st. lol.

Thanks Granny. I was afraid you all forgot me!

Hold On! I haven't been there since such a change may have been made, and we, too, have a second OL primarily to hold our Keurig, but many of the hotels are now changing to the "pod" type single serving coffee machine, but they are NOT keurig. The ones I have expereinced are a filter pack type pod that do not resemble a K-Cup in any fashion.

So before throwing the rope over the patio railing, let's hope we hear from someone at The Lodge to confirm such a deal!

I kind of hope the coffee makers are being replaced by something, on my 2 previous trips, both coffee machines were broken. I thought I had heard they were changing out the hotel side coffee makers, but not the DVC ones. I was last there in April, and it was still the Mr. Coffee maker, but I'm sure someone has been more recently than me!

This question keeps popping up but everytime it's been confirmed that the Villas have not switched over.

And as was mentioned - the resort hotels aren't switching to K-cups. They've switched to a pod system (cuisinart if I recall - I drank them for a week at CR in Feb). It sounds like John and Brian at OL might set up a protest if the Villas switched!


Hi DLI!!!!!! Nice to see you and your wiggling Corgi back here!!
