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

[jimmytammy]

So we are going home in another 11 days. Although we have stayed at the Lodge that beats all lodges several times, we have never taken the Lodge tour. Is that something we should do? Years ago we did have the opportunity to do flag duty with brother Stan (rest in peace) and learned a great deal through what seemed like osmosis, but there is probably a great deal about the lodge that we don't know yet? I guess the real question is, does the benefit of the tour warrant the out of rocker time it will require?

We have done the Lodge tour once with Stan. It is worth it IMO. But Stan def. made it as he created it. From what Im hearing, the new ranger is doing a good job, so I would say if you feel you have time, work it in.

Right there with you, understand completely!

Did you just say I wasn't good looking?

 

[happyann79]

I am dying to stay at this resort!

I am sorry fellow groupies. I did not MEAN to imply the group had any sort of hierarchy. Bad choice of words. I was just attempting to point out that I am still new to the group. I do appreciate and have recognized the overwhelming openness of this whole group to welcome in new folks. If you knew me better, and you will over time, you will know that I meet on the level with all fellow passengers on Mother Earth.

Thanks Muushka. That experience happened some 29 years ago but in so many ways feels so much more recent. But I have made it one of my purposes in life since then, to counsel people to live their lives in such a manner that there are no regrets.

No, we will not be there this December since we will be going home in just 11 more days. But I have already planted the seed with my wife for next December.

Bummer on the December, kuddos on the purpose in life!

I am dying to stay at this resort!

Whoa!! Is this a Groupie in the making????? Sit down, share with us

Welcome to the Groupies happyann79!!!
And we are right there with you. No matter how many trips we make we still love to be back there

 

[rfassett]

Well, since we move to single digit wait time tomorrow, I am ramping up my Disney mood. I just stuck in the LILO and Stitch DVD. I am getting excited just watching the previews. So either Lion King, Little Mermaid, or Lady and the Tramp will follow. Did I understand someone to say that movies are being shown on the beach at Wilderness Lodge?

 

[horselover]

Nuh uh. Luv got way more good looks than I did. . .just sayin'. . .

Well I can't really help you there! I was referring more to if you love the Lodge you're in!

You heard correct! That's fairly new I think. They were showing them when we were there last Christmas but the previous trip they were not. Looks like I'm going to miss you by a few days. Too bad. I'm heading to the World on Sat. for a quick trip. Returning home on Wed. Not staying at the Lodge this time though. Saving that for the best time of the year. Christmas!

 

[rfassett]

Horselover - yep, we are going to miss each other. We will arrive next Thursday and be at the Lodge until the following Thursday morning before heading to the Dream. I so want to be there in December too, but alas, it won't happen this year. Ya' all do your meet early in December? My all time favorite time at the Lodge and the World in general was Christmas week a few years back. There is just something real special about riding Dumbo on Christmas morning.

 

[rfassett]

Well, because I could not locate our Monsters Inc DVD, Lion King is playing at the Fassett theatre now.

 

[rfassett]

I was in Linesville: Pymatuning/Meadville area. A meet would be fun!

Where the ducks walk on the backs of fish. Not Disney World, but a tourist attraction none the less.

 

[rfassett]

Some of my folks made the trip to Jamestown, I think a shiphand. I would have jumped ship 3 days into it and swam back to the motherland

Jimmy, some of my folks came over as indentured servants after losing the Battle of Worcester.

 

[sleepydog25]

Isnt that what you said?

Pretty much! lol

The Lodge does have open arms embracing those who, in turn, feel right at home every visit.

Its what makes USA so great, a mixed bag of cultures that work towards a common goal, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness...BTW, does anyone happen to hear The Voices of Liberty warming up, cause I do(in my head anyway)

Have a great time and yup, we tend to go early December.

What does that line look like on Christmas morning for Dumbo????

I can hear them too!!!!

Look who has her Moosie Siggy back!

Speaking of Moosie siggies, I notice we have a couple of new Groupies who have no Moose!!!!!!

rfassett and others, please, grab yourself our wonderful Mascot, the handsome Moose.
Instructions are on the first page, post 2 I think.
Which, by the way, in case anyone new doesn't know, our Moose was the special resort siggy created by the Tag Fairy just for us.
And it was the first one created. How's that for trivia!

Oh, and I also have PM back! Double secret probation is mostly done!

My nephew and his family are arriving here this afternoon.
And early tomorrow they will drive to their week at BLT! First time for his kiddos.

I am a little reluctant to let this secret out but we are all friends here, but when we went Christmas Day, we were there for the rope drop. The park was relatively empty until about 11 when it started to fill up, so we just kept riding until the crowd arrived. We grabbed a bite to eat and by 1:00 the park was absolute grid lock. We hung around for about an hour just to watch the people and grin to ourselves. We had already been there most of the week so getting on rides after gridlock set in was not on our list. I did feel sorry for some of those folks that arrived thinking they were going to get to ride ANYTHING. By 2 we were headed back to the Lodge to enjoy the rest of our Christmas.

As to the Moose avatar and/or signature, I guess I am technology challenged. I have attempted editting it a couple of different times, follow the instructions and end up getting an invalid file message. But my motto is, never give up, never surrender. I will conquer that sometime.

Welcome back to full (or nearly full) credentials.

And how cool is that - "first time for the kiddos"! Hope they all (and you) have a Great Time!

The first time my son (now 22) saw Mickey at WDW he was three. He saw Mickey at a meet and greet and somehow got loose from his mother and I. And on a dead run he left his feet and lunged for Mickey Mouse. To this day, I am grateful that Mickey was paying attention and grabbed Eric in mid-flight. Otherwise, Eric would have just bounced off Mickey and that day would have ended very differently. I love Mickey Mouse!

Hope your extended family experiences that magic that we all have!

 

[Muushka]

Fun story! So glad Mickey was on the ball. I guess we waited too late to go to MK on Christmas day!

I just read the instructions.

I think those are the same instructions I wrote, not sure, but it should say

go to the control panel

then to 'edit signature'


here is the info that you insert

Thanks - that worked much better for the signature. I will work on the avatar now.

 

[BWV Dreamin]

Can this groupie avatar be taken over to other "troubled waters"? Or does it have to stay only on the DIS?
