Happy Birthday Trish & Stopher!



My daughter shares today with you and is 19 today! I'm happy to report, she remains a Disney/VWL Fan!

 

[DiznyDi]

Well, HI Groupies!
DS and DDIL came for a visit and spent the past several days with us, leaving this afternoon to return to their home in Virginia. I've missed quite a bit....

A very Happy Belated Birthday to Trish! I know you're enroute to a fabulous cruise and probably won't see this, but this wish is heartfelt even though it's a day late.

Our dear Stopher.... where for art thou O Stopher? Better drop in and collect all your birthday wishes! Even though its a few days early, a very Happy Birthday to you!

Maria - I hope your cruise is spectacular in every way! Soak up some of that glorious sun and enjoy yourself.

Nice seeing you Muush! You'll have your siggy and PM's back in no time.

You know, we should be trying to decide on a date for a December meet. I know we started this discussion some time ago, but I don't think any definite plans were made. DDad and I will be in the World Dec 7 - 15 Anyone else?

It may be a few days early, but . . .

I've been getting into Geraldine Page as more than just Madame Medusa in 'The Rescuers'. We watched 'The Sweet Bird of Youth' over the weekend and I have bought 2 more of her movies to watch. Unfortunately, 'The Trip to Bountiful' is not available on DVD that I could see. Hopefully, it will be re-released on blu-ray.

She was great in 'The Sweet Bird of Youth'.

I've been in discussion with my best friend over who is the greatest actress of all time (like we have seen all time, I know). I have been saying that it is Brigitte Helm (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brigitte_Helm), the girl in the silent movie 'Metropolis'. He says it's Vivian Leigh. After seeing Geraldine Page, I might have to revise my opinion.

I would love to know the story about how the Disney Company enticed Page to voice Madame Medusa.

 

[DiznyDi]

OK, so now we have:
WildernessDad: Dec 1-10
JT: Dec 2-14
DiznyDi/Dad: Dec 7-15
Muush: Dec 9-14

Joy - so sorry you won't be joining us this time It won't be the same without you!

For all of us to participate, we should try for the 9th or 10th. Muush, when do you arrive on the 9th? WildernessDad, when do you leave on the 10th?

Hey fellow groupies. This is our first time being at the Lodge during the "Halloween season". Does the Lodge decorate for Halloween. It really does not matter one way or the other - just curious. Really, I am not a BIG Halloween fan except for the fact that we usually have about 600 trick or treaters visit our house on trick or treat night. We will miss that this year because we will be on the cruise on that night.

Me too! It was great to meet everyone last year!

Hi Di

We are driving down on that Sat and staying off site and will arrive bright and early on the 9th, probably checking in by 11.

Hi rfassett

Whoa! 600 trick or treaters! Wowser. We usually get around a hundred and I thought that was good!

I am not sure if they decorate. I can't remember, it's been so long. I would give up the little ghosts for a cruise too!

Are you doing the Halloween party at MK? That is a lot of fun.

Yeah - we have alot of fun. Word is out that my neighborhood is generous with the candy and we even have a friendly competition to see who can get to the patrolling police cruisers first and shower the policeman with goodies.

The fact of the matter, we live in a town of about 5,500 people and folks are always amazed when I tell them the number of trick or treaters we get.

Yes, we have our tickets for MNSSHP for October 23rd. Looking forward to it.

Hope all of you will be there again in Dec '13. That is when Kati and I will be back. Maybe TeaPot and others will be there next year also!!! A girl can dream right!

I am pleased to share that my college curriculum included acing film appreciation my freshman year. (Gotta love liberal arts colleges. And I never told my dad. ) I'd have such a hard time choosing who I'd rank as the greatest actress of all time. Those are all great choices though. A couple I'd throw in would be Greer Garson (Mrs. Miniver, Goodbye Mr. Chips)and Irene Dunne (I Remember Mama - one of my favorite movies of all time).

Maybe something a little earlier will work out too? We're at BLT the 5-9th and TOWL is open thru the end of the month for all DVC members! I don't have our schedule figured out though but it would be nice to meet a few other groupies if we get the chance.
