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

[bagsmom]

Hey -- popped on here while visiting relatives - finally figured out how to get here on this other computer! I was going through withdrawal!

Blossomz -- how cool! That would be so much fun -- being a travel agent and helping other people plan their trips!

OK -- burgers are off the grill and people are calling me!

Whoa! I step back for 24 hours and look at this place! Posts everywhere! Love it



So glad that you are on the mend Kathy



Love, love, and love the screen name. Favorite Christmas Carol too!

We have another wonderful Joy on this thread. Can't have too much Joy, I say.

It sounds like you have a fabulous vacation planned!



I'm so glad that a trip to the world is in your near future. You 2 have been through a lot. How is the Old Man doing?



Yay for waitlists coming through! Funny, I am treating my nephew and fam to a week at a DVC resort. He really wanted BLT (I thought it would be a good match for them). We had to waitlist and boom, that came through last week! He is going 2nd or so week of October. Anywhoo, congrats on the waitlist!



Congratulations Bloss! Best wishes for a successful travel career!

Hey Muush,
Thanks for asking. The old guy is doing well, getting most of his strength back but unfortunately he needs a bone marrow transplant so we're kinda of in a "holding" pattern. most matches come from siblings, his one brother is deceased and his sister is a "half match". so we're on the national registry.
Until then he has transfusions.

I think I was more shocked at the prices then any thing. I realized how long it's been since I even thought about making reservations oop. yikes.

Having Lodge withdraw yall...sitting here watching "Silverado", mostly to hear the snippets of music that is Lodge related. Saw it at the theater when I was in High School and dont remember it being that good of a movie, bt now I have every reason to watch it

 

[blossomz]

Thanks for all of the pixie dust all!

How is it looking for the National Registry? Does he have a rare blood type? Do they have any idea how long it will be for a match?

Oh Eliza! Love and pixie dust coming your way!

Bit of trivia here: the same composer who did the music for "Silverado" also did the theme for the TV series "JAG" among many other projects which include special projects for both Disneyland and Disney World. His name is Bruce Broughton. I ran across this fact while compiling a CD of the Lodge's music.

WELCOME JoyToTheWorld! Always nice to have a new Groupie among us! This is a great group of folks that not only share their love for the Lodge but have a genuine interest in each others lives.

Blossom so excited for you! A travel agent and a Disney specialist to boot. Great news!

stopher I know you're in the world somewhere enjoying yourself and taking a much needed respite from the busyness of your life in the real world. Enjoy the time with your family and soak up some sun for the rest of us.

Thanks Eliza for pointing out the advantages of owning DVC. Those are some pretty hefty prices. Thanks also for the update of the old guy. Will continue to keep him (and you) in prayer

Congratulations Maria that your wait list came through! Don't you just love it when everything falls into place?

JT please add DiznyDi and Dad Feb 15-23 Aulani

Joy Sounds like a fun girls trip. Sorry DH is staying behind. I definitely think you and Corinne should try for a mini meet. Don't forget to post pictures

 

[Dizny Dad]

. . . . . We had to change our Sept dates a bit
Down side DH won't able to come. . . . . . .

WOW - Mr. Teapot is really a hard worker. Last time we met up in The World, he needed to dedicate a few days to ongoing work. I can understand dedication, but wow; and he takes it in stride so well! I need him on my staff, so I can give him time off!

Just a good example of "Building the Empire"!

Di
Got you in there!

BlossomZ
Congrats on your Travel Agent work(this one slipped me)

Eliza
Continued prayers for you folks

Happy Birthday deebits!!!

How is it looking for the National Registry? Does he have a rare blood type? Do they have any idea how long it will be for a match?

He's a pretty routine guy. LOL. O positie which I think is about 40% of the population. Generally it's about a 6-7 month wait on the list..."ughh". Robin Roberts of GMA has been diagnosed with MDA which is a type of pre lukemia so since she's pretty vocal about, there have been a lot more folks volunteering for typing.



Ok, today's trivia is more of a easy wdw challenge... Magic kingdom specific.

Which restaurant on Main Street has the same name as an animated restaurant in a Disney movie?

In the movie 'Tarzan', there is a sequence where an ape is in the camp and he looks down the barrel of a gun. Where in the Magic Kingdom will you find this scene?

In the "Pirates of the Caribbean" there is a person being dunked in a barrel. Who is this character?

while on Tom Sawyer's Island there is a cave that has a bridge in it going over some water. What is odd about the situation?

Which character does not make an apearance in the Crystal Palace?

How many stops does the Walt Disney World train make while traveling around the Magic Kingdom?

Which direction does the Walt Disney World train take around the Magic Kingdom?


To and from: On the water.

 

[eliza61]

Opps, I forgot.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEEBITS!!

I got this one! clockwise!

That's good that he is O Pos, like you said, lots more of them. I am O Pos and on the registry. Hmmmmm

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEEBITS!!

 

[blossomz]

Main street restaurant....Tony's from Lady and the Tramp

Happy birthday Deebits!

 

[twokats]

Happy Birthday deebits!
Hope it is the best.

 

[wildernessDad]

I need a Lodge fix. Who's with me?

 

[Dizny Dad]

The Mayor is being dunked by the Pirates!

The Train stops at the Main St. Station, Frontier Town, Toontown, and back to the Main St. Station. So that means there are three (3) stations to stop at. And, yes, Muush is right - clockwise . . .

 

[wildernessDad]

Except Toontown Station is no more, thus there are only currently 2 stops, Frontier Land and Main Street.

Sorry WildernessDad - Toontown is indeed back open. I got off there in May. Beautiful Station!!
