Hi MiaSRN62:
Thank you for the welcome! I can't wait to hug Mickey soon!!! The graphic is so cute!

Hey Groupies, for those of you that have recently returned from our beloved Lodge, did you notice if there was new resort specific merchandise? DDad was in communication with a CM several months ago that assured him we would be seeing better quality and more resort specific items.
It's about time! When we were there in December, there was so very little. We contacted some office and let them know we'd like more items, and that person also said there would be more to come. We go back in September for a day; hopefully, we'll find something we like. ;)
 
I know I've stopped buying when I go - except for a pin or two, something to add to our Christmas tree, and some new scrapbook pages or a picture frame. And believe me - I LOOK - and WANT to purchase something, but I really don't. Whereas I easily used to spend $100-300 per trip on "stuff" - the last three or four trips it's been $30-60 because I just don't really find anything exciting or new any more. Give me more unique, location specific merchandise like Disneyland does... and yeah, I'll happily turn over money to the mouse.

I couldn't agree more. I hardly ever come home with souvenirs anymore. I want something different or unique not the same old t-shirt I can get at any park or any resort shop. Give us something new & different please!
 
And don't forget the pledges:lmao:

I need a "like" button. :) (not so sure about the sleepydog $50 part though, I think I will keep my $50 to use at the Villas.;) )

:rotfl2::lmao::rotfl:

One thing I just learned here... do not drink nor eat anything until I'm done reading the post(s). My merlot nearly ended up all over my monitor/keyboard! :rotfl2:

OK let me give this a try.

Ahem... clearing throat from laughing so hard and choking on merlot.

My Pledge to the Groupie family:

I promise...
- to have fun and be nice; (And that's worth saying twice.)
- to eat with my mouth closed and don't drink anything until I'm done reading the post(s) due to food/liquid ending up on my monitor/keyboard;

- to not tell my DH what my handle is;
- to share photos, especially of the Lodge and Villas;
- to comfort our Groupies as needed;
- to not brag (too much) when our weather is better than other Groupies' weather, especially when it's snowing/hailing/freezing rain or dealing with extremely cold temperatures;
- to miss the Lodge, Villas and WDW when not there;
- to hug characters and have photos taken with them;
- (and to give permission to I Book He Pays to spend a minimum of $100 via credit card, check, Disney bucks or cash so she can buy cool Disney stuff on her upcoming trip to WDW. Donations to the "I Book He Pay's WDW Shopping Spree" would be greatly appreciated.)

Welllllllllllllllllllllllll - I guess, even though did leave out the part about sleepydog & STOPHER's payments. To make up for that very egregious error - I think it's time for you to buy us all a nice big skillet from WCC. But first, I think we might need a little bit of this:

And be sure to order the bottomless shakes for after that hearty skillet. I think that will make amends for skipping out on paying the "entrance dues" that sleepydog mentioned :rotfl:
 
Hi Nicoal13:

Thank you for the welcome!

You sure had some horrible weather in WI. :eek: I think many of us are wondering where in the world spring is. Just think in a little over two weeks you be "home" in warm/sunny FL. Did you start packing yet? :laughing: Stay warm and be careful.

Love this!

Trish - yep, I've started packing. I definitely won't be need the shorts, tanks and capris here in WI before vacation, so they are all ready to be packed. I am wondering where spring is. I see my tulips coming up through the snow though!
 
I think we just became an exclusive club with the pledge and dues...sorta like D23;)
 
Nicole, snow? :confused3

Dr Muush prescribes a trip to VWL STAT!!!

I Book, your list was a hoot!:lmao:

Well, tomorrow is:

We'll be gone for 10 days! We fly out tomorrow. Get on the ship at 12 or so for 10 glorious days. We'll enjoy the lawn club this time. Last time we didn't use it until towards the end of the cruise. And we got a 'hump' cabin which you can see in that exterior picture (cabins to the right of the lifeboats, but further up, on the 10th deck.) Translation: 3X the normal size balcony!
We booked Aqua Class which is not quite as sweet as a suite (pardon the pun) but it allows us to eat in a special dining room for the entire cruise. I am not a foodie, but I love fresh, hot food (not to be confused with banquet food ewwwwwww ;)) and this restaurant promises just that!
Here is the itinerary: Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, Basseterre, St. Kitts, Bridgetown, Barbados, Roseau, Dominica, Philipsburg, St. Maarten
Mr Muush needs this vacation baaaaaaaad :rolleyes1 I'll check in during the day. You are not rid of me yet!

Hi stopher1:
Hmmmm.... not sure what happened last night when I posted my pledge... that bottom line suddenly changed when I clicked on "submit reply"! ;):confused3

Could this count as part of my "dues" to you/sleepydog25? ;)

DH would be bouncing off the walls with one of these skillet dishes and not sure if he would share it with me. Those ribs... look aweome. Must go here to eat during our second week. WOW...

You made me shiver with that "snow" word. How much did you get? My tulips started to come up a few weeks ago and then we had a cold snap. Needless to say they did not grow nor bloom. Maybe next year.

I have all of my spring/summer clothes out and I'm still wearing fleece tops/jeans. One day it's beautiful, the next day it's cold. I don't like Mother Nature some days...

Happy packing...

Trish
 
Hi Muushka:
I love the pictures of the ship!! Haven't sailed on Celebrity yet and would like to in the future. Having the larger balcony is a huge plus, especially when cruising to the Caribbean.

Your itinerary is awesome! DH/I had the same itinerary for our cruise in 2007 on Royal Caribbean. Dominica is beautiful and was one of my favorite ports. It's nice to see an island in it's natural beauty. I'll meet you at the dock tomorrow. ;) Wishing you and Chuck a fantastic cruise!!!

:hug:
