DiznyDi[/BOne dinner at BOMA (i.e.) would cost $200 (without tax....well TIW discount would be the tip). DDP would cost about $47/person/day which comes to $235/day (or the equivalent of ONE dinner at Boma). So dh is thinking maybe try DDP. Just hate making all those ADR's and having to stick to a plan every day.


Have you heard that as a DVC member you can divide up your reservation and get the DDP only for certain days and then not have it other days? Call MS to ask about it, but you could get it just for the day you want to go to Boma and you would get a Buffet meal and a CS meal for that day and then not have to be on the dining plan.

Oh wow Alison.....no, hadn't heard ! This is exciting now.....add a third option to the mix. I appreciate the head's up.
 
Not missing on purpose guys, having tech issues with PC, and havent been able to gets hands on Macbook long enough to do much typing.

twokats Will be praying for good results, and glad all went well for you at cousins funeral...we knew you could do it

Granny We have stayed at OKW once in a studio. It inspired us to buy more pts. Not that we needed a lot of help:confused3 Looking forward to staying in a 1 bedroom this time. dianeschlit made us aware of getting a 1 bed with 2 doors to bath like VWL. The 1 beds nearest HH have 1 door, goes through main bedroom. Not a big deal, but nice to have 2 doors with 4 folks! The SouthPointe/TurtlePond areas are what we are hoping for.

Eliza We did make ADRs. We are mixed about meals at WDW. Certain places still draw us in, some have lost appeal for sure. We dont like making everything work around meals and tend to not allow that to happen so much anymore. But living in our area, not many exciting places to eat, so WDW still has some draw for us where meals are concerned. We have TIW so we sorta justify using that saving a few $$s along the way.

We have ADRs at 50s, Kona, LTT, Olivias, San Angel and Via Napoli which we are looking forward to 1st time! We will eat at Pizza Hut 1st night, get groceries and such. ESPN will probably fit in along the way before a Braves game.

19th cant get here soon enough!!
 
Hello Groupies! It's Sunday night, and of course a new work week begins very soon...

I thought I would share a little something with you while it's fresh on my mind, regarding my grandmother.

My aunt contacted us today and said the last 2 days in the Skilled Nursing facility haven't been quite great. She is hallucinating, yelling at people and of course confused thanks to the dementia factor. She doesn't want to be there, but of course cannot go home to her assisted living apartment. Her pain is apparently lessened, but she cannot move on her own, and needs assistance. When she is up out of bed, she's now pretty much wheel chair bound. Oy. Continued prayers are always appreciated. Thanks friends.

Another thing I thought I'd share, while perhaps not such a big deal here with you all (maybe, maybe not), I reached a little milestone tonight. My 10,000th post. Over on my other primary thread, the Dis Dad's Club, the guys have been waiting pretty much with baited breath for what I might have to pontificate about. Like it's really all that important! But anyway - I thought I'd let you see it for yourselves - if you are at all remotely interested - since the Groupies do play an important role in that post :rolleyes1 even if the Groupies thread has not been my primary posting home during my DIS years. Here's to the next 10,000!
 

Stoph - 10,000 WOW! That is a lot of DisBoard interaction. I recommend you for the DisBoard Silver Star!
 
OK Groupies & Lovers of all things Wilderness Lodge: Where would you find this rug?

WOW - KAT4DISNEY - Can't deny it since you answered with a photo!

Somehow I thought the question would last more than 2 posts, but I forgot I was dealing with those that love the Lodge!

So Groupies, bring on your mystery photos and let'e see how we all do . . . .
 
Good Monday Morning Groupies!! I'm back in snowy MN. Sigh. When I hop on a plane I'd rather end up at a sunny lodge with boat whistles going off in the background.

Twokats - Hoping that your procedure goes easily and for good results. :hug:

Stopher - Glad to hear that your grandmother improved enough to leave the hospital but sorry to hear the adjustment is difficult. My grandmother also suffered from a type of dimentia and was in a nursing home. After a few years she took a fall and broke her hip which then ended her ability to get around. From what I've experienced with dimentia (my father passed away from Alzheimer's also) is that the patients are often very restless so it can be extremely frustrating to be confined. My dear little grandmother (4'8" on a good day!) who was known to be one of the sweetest, easy going people ever started swearing! :rolleyes1 Hopefully your grandmother can be relatively comfortable and we're keeping you all in our prayers.

Had me going Dizny Dad.....I was still "thinking" on it......I will try and find some mystery pics ?!!!
 
Newsflash!

:yay:Happy Birthday to ladytink75!:yay:

Today is her big day!

I just got home from Williamsburg and haven't read a thing yet, but wanted to wish ladytink75 a happy one.:goodvibes
 
Sorry I have been MIA for a while. The pixie/moose dust worked at my cousin's funeral. I was able to get up and speak with no problems. I was able to inject a little humor in it and I was also able to look at my aunt and cousins and not loose it at all. Mom said I did really good.

Happy birthday to all the groupies that I missed. . . Muushka, I hope you had a really good one. . . prayers to all groupies that have personal and family illnesses and congratulations for upcoming vacations and contracts acquired. And if there is any other situation I missed know that I have been thinking of all of you.

The end of January, I lost my main job at a local church that I had been with for 10 years. They decided to merge with another church in town and wanted the new office manager to be more of a presence and it did not work with me taking care of Mom, so I had to tell them no thank you, so I now only work two afternoons a week and am on the lookout for a new flexible part-time job. Then a couple of weeks after that we find out my husband needed surgery for a double hernia and will be on medical leave from his job for six weeks (we still have a month to go). But the icing on the cake is coming up this week. . . I have to have a biopsy done on a lump they found in my breast. Believe it or not, I am not really worried about it, I feel relatively calm about the whole procedure (at least right now I do). It looked like a piece of popcorn on the sonogram, so I have had a little laugh about it, but I will let y'all know what comes of the test next week.

Kathy, I am so glad it went well for your cousin's funeral. It is such a big task, but when it goes well, which it sounds like it did, it is so sweet. Good job.:flower3:

Prayers for your procedure this week. It sounds like you have a handle on it, which is great. And I hope something part-time comes soon for you.:goodvibes

Continued prayers for your grandmother, Stopher. And I checked out and loved your post about your 10K posts and how you got here!:wizard:

One of our favorite spots!

Love the picture!
 
We just got home from Williamsburg. We met HappyDinks Bob and Leslie for lunch there. What a fun couple they are, as usual. They said to be sure to say hello back to everyone. I didn't realize that they have been MIA for several months!!! We keep up with email, so I thought they were here too. They said they have a LOT of catching up to do! Bob drove us on a mini-tour of Williamsburg and then we went to lunch at a college-run establishment. Good food, not a chain, got to love it!

Then we went over to our B&B and checked in. They (HD) love history so hung with us at the B&B for a while checking the place out. We stayed at A Williamsburg WhiteHouse
http://awilliamsburgwhitehouse.com/
and got to stay in the Thomas Jefferson room. It was beautiful. The place had a lot of presidential memorabilia and was beautifully decorated. They went down several notches when they only had skim milk for the coffee, but other than that, it was a great place to stay. We arrived in a monsoon on Sunday, but clear (cold) weather replaced it today. We didn't have really warm clothes so we just did some shopping and left by 12 today. It was a nice visit, hope to return again soon!

My kitchen is almost done!! 2 or so more days. Can't wait!! My Lodgey lights are installed, LOVE THEM!!!!
 
We met HappyDinks Bob and Leslie for lunch there

Barb Sounds like a great trip!! We love Williamsburg too.

Dad I should feel embarrassed, you had me stumped. As many times as I have sat there I dont look down much
