Hello Groupies
Hope everyone is having a good Summer and not too wilted in the heat.

Oh Wow.... I can't imagine what it would be like to be there ......maybe some day

Here are a few pics from our first trip as DVC members in 2001.

Check out the refillable mugs.

I never got a chance to get one of those mugs.
I wish they were still resort specific. We still have some old ones from Port Orleans when it was just Port Orleans and not refillable.


We needed to change our Dec reservations by cutting it short by 2 days.
I'll be calling MS today so if you're on the wait list for a 1 BR for Friday the 10 and Sat. the 11th at our beloved Lodge you may be getting a call.
I'm sad because this means no CP and no Whoopi unless they return to a mid week show.

I shouldn't complain thought because we do have a trip planned for Sept 3-11 this was a newly scheduled trip with most of the family popping in here and there. Followed by a visit with my DSiL and then onto spending a week at my daughter's in St Pete. You know it is my duty to visit family in Florida as often as possible

DH and I always plan our spring Flower Show trip and our December Trip
but we have been blessed these past few years with a extra visit usually in the fall.
gotta love my DVC

This has been my Desktop on my computer at work, until . . .

. . the trip to Ko Olina . . .

This is where you would find DiznyDi & I at 6:30 AM. We do enjoy the Hot Tubs early in the morning, and one of our favorites is at the DVC pool at VWL, but this isn't too bad, either.

Still love the Lodge, tho . . .

Oh WOW. Some just aren't placed very well, but this one... now that's a nice placement. Looks like a great view in the morning. Nice.

Dave,
Love the pictures. Wow that is a clean villa. by the 2nd hour of occupancy my crew has desimated the room. I've got 10.2 nanoseconds to get a picture.

So sorry to hear you have to shorten your trip tea pot. At least you got another trip though! And the CP does run during the week - it has for the past 3 or 4 years anyway. It's not Whoopi but Jodi Benson (Ariel) is the speaker from 12/7-12/9 and it looks like it's still TBD for 11/29-12/6.

 

[wildernessDad]

We're going to try to book the CP dinner package when Jodi Benson will be the speaker. Any word on when we can start booking this and is there any other news on this?

 

[stopher1]

There's a thread over on the dining boards about the CP packages where people have been watching and waiting daily for quite some time now. Each day they post if the packages have become available or not yet....

So far... not yet.

I've subscribed to a thread and other people call immediately every morning to see if they can book. Nothing yet. Some have been told by CM's that it will be the end of August. Some CM's say it will be posted on the website with a date to call once they know when they will start booking so there may be some advance warning.

 

[Disney loving Iowan]

I can't help but wonder if my cats would think Corgis are all that cute.

I have a neighbor who walks their Corgi by my house every once in a while. Sooooo cute!

Not sure what my corgi would think of your cats! She has never been around any.

Love the pics Dave and DiznyDad!!!


So DD and I have seen Toy Story 3 twice now and today for the first time we found out something about it we didn't know. For any of you who have seen it, did you know that the trash man is Sid? We were so surprised that we didn't realize that. Now we will have to go and see it again!

I went to that thread. Stopher, that is just cruel! Can you let us know if you hear anything K4?

We haven't seen it yet, but we will look for Scary Sid!

Hello Groupies
Hope everyone is having a good Summer and not too wilted in the heat.

Well, I escaped a little of the heat. I am in San Antonio for a few days with my son before we pick up DD (Kati) at her summer camp where she works. We went to the Alamo and walked along the Riverwalk (those never get old no matter how many times we do them), and the temps here this afternoon were only 100. When we left home we had already had a 106 and 105 day Tuesday and Wednesday.

Hope everyone is enjoying the last of Summer. Counting the days til my New Year's Eve cruise.

A request for some extra pixie dust for Mom. She just finished her 7th chemo treatment and it has really done a number on her. She was so weak she could not even sit up. She got a little better yesterday, but right after I left her this morning, she got sick again and I feel a little helpless not being right by her side, but she wanted me and my son to have a little break. Thanks in advance Groupies!!!

We will lift your Mom, you and your family up in prayer

True, perhaps, but it keeps me from worrying about it. One click through in the morning, and I'm done thinking about it until the next day.

Ooh, I love the Riverwalk! But ugh, the temps. Yuck. We had 105 & 110 heat index here in Indy on Tuesday & Wednesday. Miserable. Thankfully yesterday was back down to the high 80's.

I will definitely keep your mom in prayer.

I thought so! the tee shirt gave it away not to mention his behavior.

Love your little corgi... so cute so cute

Thanks Kat maybe next year...but again I shouldn't complain and just be grateful. I'm so looking forward to the groupie meet and greets.

. . the trip to Ko Olina . . .

Now that's a HAPPY PLACE

Some more pics to take us to our happy place. So if you saw these sights where would you be standing?
