VWL Lovers & Groupies thread: It all started with a Moose

[tea pot]

Hi There...

Have not been on too much lately. Have had some real health issues but I am on the mend now after surgery a few weeks ago.

Oh Oshawa so glad your on the mend sending prayers and pixie dust your way.
I've ordered some family gift baskets and have been very pleased but if you can find a more personal touch I think I'd try that.

So, from what I can tell, it looks like MEET #2 will be

Monday, Dec 6, Carolwood Pacific room in the afternoon.

Is 1 o'clock good for everyone?

Monday would be great for us we arrive on the 5th and leave on the 12th
so we're up for multiple meets... even breakfast
We haven't made any specific plans yet not even our flights so we're
wide open.

Mon the 6th will work great for us for a meet!

This has become the Christmas in July thread

I'm not going to hide that I'm totally green with envy for all those heading down in December. I was lucky enough to have a long December weekend last year at VWL with my kids and it was the most perfect trip ever despite the rain and missing the groupies by a couple days (I really wanted to stay for it.) For all those going this year, we want detailed descriptions and videos of every sound, smell and sight. I am excited for you all! Hm, is it too early to start planning a Dec 2012 meet now?

BTW - I have a few more pics coming, allergies sidelined me yesterday. Thank you all for the compliments on my last set. I lucked out with those, but when the setting is as beautiful as WL it's not too hard to click a few keepers

 

[Muushka]

I think that could be lovely. I'd be happy to enjoy the morning meal with you both.

Well all righty then. Breakfast at WCC on the 6th it is. Can you add us to your reservation? Would that work? Let me know if you want me to call and just make a new one.

Click a few keepers, good phrase. Can I steal it??

I missed VWL last year so much. I am sorry you are missing this year.

But it is never too early to start planning for Christmas at VWL. 2012 here we come.

How fun is this????

 

[jimmytammy]

Muushka and I arent in competition to have groupie meets, we are working together on this one to get as many groupies as we can to a meet, and the schedules just wont overlap enough for just one meet!! So the last few days we have been PMing behind your backs(really dastardly if you ask me) to make all this work.


So for those who cant make meet #2, we are thinking towards a Fri. Dec. 3 meet at 1pm. This will be meet #1. We are hoping to have Ranger Stan and his sweetie Carolyn at both meets. How would this time work for those who will be around then?

 

[Granny]

Jimmy...December 3 at 1:00 works great for us. Iron Spike room again?

I'm already planning Dec. 2011 so why not 2012 too!

 

[blossomz]

I need to retire from teaching! If I could take off more time I'd be there in December too! Meanwhile I'm getting really close to my cruise...13 days!

 

[DiznyDi]

My, Groupies certainly are a talkative bunch! I didn't think I had been 'gone' that long and I have about 4 pages to get caught up on!

First, Nice to have you back Oshawa! Glad to hear you're on the mend despite the surgery and subsequent infection. Any news from the Dr. today?

I have thoroughly enjoyed your photos, Twinklebug. Thanks so much for posting. Can't wait to see the others. Sorry about your allergies, I was sidelined yesterday, too. But I think mine was flu.

On to the meets; DDad and I will most likely be at Meet #1. It will be nice to see you again, JT and family and I'm looking forward to meeting you, Granny! We'll be meeting up with DD and DSIL Sunday (5th) which could potentially keep us from Meet #2. Though would love to meet Muush, Stopher and renew acquaintance with tea pot. If we can work it out, maybe we'll try to make an appearance at that one too.

No December (2010) trip for you, horselover? We'll miss you and twinklebug and blossomz! I guess someone has to stay behind to keep the thread going.

blossomz I can feel your excitement! Have you ever been on a cruise before? Can't wait to hear all about it.

WildernessDad, I haven't seen a countdown for you. Are you about 140 days out now?

Has Dory checked in since her sons wedding? Maybe I missed it.

You realize we are meeting Monday the 6th! Just in case.
I am sure we will get to meet at some time while we are all there, I have faith!

 

[blossomz]

Hmmm, long weekend. Maybe a cold is coming on?

TB, I think we SHOULD start planning the 2012 meet now. It will give us something to look forward to. I really enjoyed the 2009 meet, but alas, to be able to take the NYE cruise I can only have one vacation in Dec, so Kati and I will have to miss WDW in Dec. But we are already planning our 2011 Dec trip and I have the date marked to make my reservation. I don't have a problem also doing the 2012 Dec trip.

Yes, Di, I have noticed many times how talkative this bunch is. I can be caught up for a short time and then I have several pages to go through. I agree that all of ya'll that will be at these meets this year need to send us lots of details from each meet with lots of pictures.

 

[Muushka]

Bloss! I forgot to comment! You will let us know how much you loved the cruise, right??

 

[blossomz]

Absolutely!

We're in for breakfast!

DDad says if we can't get a bus, we'll take a taxi. We'll be at SSR then, but we're usually in the hot tub by 6 anyway. So we'll just come on over when we're done!
