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

[blossomz]

SORCERER GAME: It's cool! You collect a set of cards and a key card. The key card allows you to enter the portals located around the MK. The portals come alive and you have to fight the villain to protect the kingdom. After each battle, it tells you where to go next. It is all very individual and you can play different times and have different battles. There are a total of 75 (I think) cards to collect. The last 10 or 11 are rare and believe it or not, they are selling them on eBay! But it was fun talking to people and trading cards! I saw little old ladies in their scooters playing and trading! Each day, you can go back and get 5 new cards. They are in the firehouse and up in liberty square. It was a lot of fun! Similar in a way to Kim Possible and the games on the cruise ships with the enchanted art.

We are doing the sunrise Safari in June so up to date details would be appriciated. Ending our trip at VWL. AKV/BCV/VWL

We met in the Lodge lobby and departed about 7:15 via bus to the Animal Kingdom Park. After a brief drive behind the scene, we boarded the Kilimanjaro Safari trucks. There were about 50 in our group using 2 buses/trucks. The safari is the same route as the ride - just slower with plenty of opportunity for picture taking. We were in the trucks about an hour and 15 minutes. At the end of the safari we were escorted to a wonderful buffet breakfast at Pizzafari. The buffet was first class all the way. You won't be disappointed!

We also are ending our stay at VWL.

Muush-while we haven't done it yet, I am of the understanding the Sorcerer experience is to Magic Kingdom what Kim Possible is to Epcot.

Sounds like fun. We need to check it out.

We need to that one of these days! I just can't get Mr Muush off of the verandah of the cruise ship!

I snagged the first four days in a WL studio...am waiting to wait list the last day, Dec 2...what do u think my chances will be? Hubby doesn't want to move the last night (wer're at BCV for that last night)... So excited and surprised to get the first four...was going to wait list the whole stay!

We waitlisted the same time frame for a 1BR back in 2010, and though it took a few months, our waitlist came through toward the end of summer (late August, I believe). So, hang in there!

Le, Mom and I did the Sunrise Safari back on our May trip in 2009. We also did the safari around the Savannas at AKL the evening before. I got great photos from each safari and the food on both was great. Hope yours was as great as our experience was.

Eliza? How are things? Been thinking of you....

Happy Monday all,

Hey Blozzomz, glad you had a fun and safe trip. Thanks for the shout out. The old guy is doing well. He finished his first 9 day round of chemo and actually did very well, at least from my perspective (im sure he'll tell you differently. ) I think the next few weeks will probably be harder since he has no immune system whatsoever, his anc number is zero he can't be released. Evidently in a normal adult it takes about 2 weeks for your blood count numbers to rise. He has a bone marrow biopsy thursday and hopefully won't need another round of chemo. So pretty much he's just sitting there in a hospital room...."ughhh"


Here is my big moose to all the groupie men out there. Boy o' boy, not having the old guy around for the last 4 weeks has been eye opening. So to Jimmy, wildernessdad, stopher, Disneydad, Mr. muushka and all the moose-mates to us gals, think of this as your Monday Morning "thanks for putting the pixie dust" in our daily lives. You are appreciated.


Anyone going to the world soon or there as we speak, have a wonderful time....

Eliza, so good to hear from you. We have been wondering. I wish the Old Guy could see what you wrote. So sweet. I hope that his bone marrow shows that the chemo has done its job. And I hope his ANC count rises mightily. My old lab memory hasn't gone rusty (yet). I had a feeling what that anc number is, but looked it up to verify. Old dog, old lab tech yada yada yada.

Give the old guy a hug from Muush.

Eliza, I hope and pray that the old guy makes a complete recovery. Thank you for thinking about we guys.

In just 12 days, May 12, (who's counting), we will be heading out for that Jambo House GV vacation. We're all (9 of us total) going to be on an extremely early flight; take off time 6:40 am, arrival time 8:50 am. A few of us are going to 1900 Park Fare for the character breakfast on May 13. I'll be hitting T-Rex twice, La Hacienda de San Angel, Teppan Edo and Via Napoli. Looks like we'll be park hopping a bit this vacation.

Sounds like a fun vacation with lots of yummy eats! I haven't tried T-Rex or Via Napoli yet.

You are so kind Eliza, thank you.
We are continuing support in prayer for you folks.

So glad to hear from you Eliza! Please tell The Old Guy that we are all thinking good thoughts for him!! Hang in there..it must not be very easy for you. Just know your groupies are here...

I just got a text from Stopher. From MK. MSEP at MK to be exact.
He and Tea Pot and Mr Tea Pot and Diz DiDad combo are all there enjoying the parade.

Without me.

Wah.

You have me beat by 5 days. We are at 17 (but you're right who's counting), and our flight is leaving at 6:15 am arriving at 9:35 am. We will have to leave our house around 3:15 in the morning to get to the airport.

Congrats and I'm envious! There is no lovelier place than VWL during the holidays.

While I am happy for you, and those others who have trips coming up in a few days or weeks, sadly I sit here typing with the knowledge that our next trip isn't until November. Sigh. But, I am calm about the wait, as usual. . . No, really. . .
