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

[eliza61]

Any body planning on trying out the new Pizzeria in Epcot? Being a native New Yorker, which every one knows NY has the best pizza outside of Italy and to all my fellow groupies in the Midwest who insist on making that alien thick crust pizza, I have my fingers on the monitor attempting a Vulcan mind meld as we speak, do not resist.

It looks interesting.

Live long and prosper.

Fascinating. (said in best Spock monotone).

Please don't lump all us Midwesterners with those folks in the Windy City. The locally most favored pizza continues to be thin crust. However, we are open to anything that calls itself pizza and will give it a shot!

Since we haven't made our ADR's for our December stay, my guess is we'll be eating bagels in the room for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Maybe I can get some pizza sauce and mozzarella to melt on them!

We might check it out when we're there in 2 more days!!! It kind of depends on how long the lines are (I heard no ADRs during the soft opening) and if they can accommodate gluten free for DS10.

I'll report back if we go.

Lucky you!!! I had one of my best BD's ever at DL. Did the Walk in Walt's Footstep tour, the Fantasmic Dinner package (the one they used to have on the Veranda of what Walt's apartment in New Orleans Square) and also a wine/cheese package to watch MSEP.

I like the Big Thunder Ranch dining but I'd say it's more a combo of Mickey's Backyard BBQ (but without the characters and dancing) and Trail's End. Food was very similar to the platter at WC though. I have some pics if you haven't seen any.

Now THAT sounds like the best birthday. Mr Muush is always kind to me for birthday wishes.
Maybe for my next milestone I can talk him into DL.

stopher1 - Thanks for the lunchtime pictures! I just returned from a funeral for the mother of a long time friend. The pictures were a great pick-me-up!

So sorry for your friend. And I agree, the pictures were great. Thanks Stoph.

I loooooooove thin crust pizza. Anyone ever tried the Papa Murphy's delite? Yumm. I am sure Mr Muush will want to try this new pizza place. There are not any good pizza places at Epcot, they need one.

Granny! Bagels for breakfast at VWL is my idea of heaven! Well, that and a pink grapefruit and a good cuppa Joe.


My dear friend Norm lost his battle yesterday. He only lived 3 months after receiving the diagnosis. My poor friend has a long road ahead of her, in that she will miss her husband of 34 years, and their daughter will miss her Dad.

Oh yeah! December 10 at 5:45 pm! But, who's counting?

Speaking of which - 118 days to go!

We have a lunch ADR for Via Napoli for our upcoming trip. Looking forward to trying it.

I'm sorry Muush. Good thoughts & prayers going out to you & Norm's family.

Winging my prayers out to you, bud. I know it sounds awfully clichey, but Norm had the last 34 years surrounded by a great wife, daughter and your friendship. I pray to be so blessed.

 

[Dizny Dad]

Muushka - DiznyDi & I both join the voices in lifting up Norm's family for the emotional support needed in the coming days . . .

 

[Muushka]

Thank you all for your kind words. Groupies are THE BEST.

 

[wildernessDad]

Muushka, sorry to hear about the loss of your friend.

 

[KAT4DISNEY]

My thoughts and prayers are with you and Norm's family Muushka.

Same here. In Wisconsin, it is thin crust. Personally, I like it as thin as possible. Why fill up on crust?

Sorry to hear that.

Barb...Sad to hear your news...keeping you in my prayers as well as Norm's family.

We are so sorry for the loss of your friend. We pray that you and his family find peace in the coming days.

Loved the pics Stopher! Wish I was there right now too!

I just saw part of that old Jon & Kate episode a month or so ago. She must have some redeeming qualities (I'm not a fan) because as they were packing up to leave she said when vacation is over she's usually ready to go home but not this time. She just didn't want to leave our beloved Lodge! I know exactly how she feels.

Yes, the last day at the lodge is always a sad day, time to try, but not succeed, in taking it all in visually one last time (that stay anyway).

Oh I know the feeling too! Even from just going there for dinner. As much as I try to savor it, that feeling you have there is just too fleeting.

We might check it out when we're there in 2 more days!!! It kind of depends on how long the lines are (I heard no ADRs during the soft opening) and if they can accommodate gluten free for DS10.

I'll report back if we go.

Hope you have a great trip HL and that it isn't too hot!!!!

So sorry to hear this Muushka. I'm glad he didn't have a long road of suffering though. My DH's cousins wife is unfortunatly having a pretty rough time since he died. I hope your friend has lots of people to support her and her daughter. My thoughts and prayers are with you and his family.

So sorry to hear this news both of you. Add me to the list of those praying for you and your individual friends' families.

Ooh, ooh - me. BUT PLEASE don't lump me in with that Chicago-crowd assumption either... just like Granny, Inkmahm and Muushka - I absolutely LOVE thin crust. It's my favorite. Always has been. I enjoy regular crust types, but actually don't eat the crust itself...so... I absolutely won't even eat thick crust or pan pizza. Way too much bread for my liking. The thinner the better, really.

Now THAT sounds like the best birthday. Mr Muush is always kind to me for birthday wishes.

Maybe for my next milestone I can talk him into DL.

And I agree, the pictures were great. Thanks Stoph.

Thanks all. Just had to share.

I have a milestone year coming up this October. It's fascinating trying to listen to the various conversations around the house that seem to stop whenever I show up, round a corner or am otherwise noticed. Don't know what they're up to - or (hopefully) planning... but it's fun to try and guess. My WISH of course would be to head south or west to a Disney destination... but alas, going in September with my DD - and again in December both solo and with the family... me thinks that's not really an option. But... you never know, now do you?

 

[jimmytammy]

Thin crust for me to, the thinner the better!
