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

[Nicoal13]

All the moose dust worked. We sold our house Still have to make sure the rezoning goes through. The buyer will be running a massage therapy business out of our house. But the rezoning should not be a problem. We live on a street dotted with businesses and have another business next door. Plus the mayor and city planner are backing the rezoning.

We have also found a house to buy. A 4 bedroom ranch in a country subdivision on 1.5 acres. So happy to have found something that has a little more room to move around and for DS to have a nice yard to play in. Our inspection went well, we will be making a lot of cosmetic changes but structurally the house is sound. Now the septic and well need to be tested and a radon test needs to be done.

DS is turning 5 on Saturday, so we have a party for him. Then next week, I need to call and make our reservations for May for the lodge. I'm so behind! Hope I won't have a problem for May 7-14th for a 2bedroom.

How about a Snow Moose for Christmas?

Or an Ice Moose?

Congratulations, Nicoal! So glad to hear your house sold. Sounds like things are moving along nicely.

Happy birthday to your DS!

You guys are the BEST! Thanks for all your pixie dust!

I've heard that the 2011 and 2012 DCA food and wine festival was canceled due to DCA construction. Anybody else hear this?

You all do not understand how much this saddens me. And the worst part is that I don't think it is really due to construction. I think they are using the construction as an excuse to cancel it, but I think they will not renew it once the construction is complete. There are many problems with California Food laws, the Festival Director and I & chatted a bit and there are many problems that we encounter in CA that they do not have in FL. I am guessing that they are using the construction as an excuse to close down the festival. If you notice the wording on the press release, they will reevaluate the possibiltity of festivals and events once the Cars Land opens in 2012. I'm guessing this is their way of canceling the entire festival.

I bought my points at the VGC because I wanted to spend time there during F&W mainly doing the cooking school opening weekend and Taste Closing weekend. There were a few other weekends we wanted to spend there but mostly during F&W. I spent a LOT of money for these points for the 11 mos. advantage and now I won't need it becuase I have a feeling that come 2013 there will NOT be a F&W Festival. I could have spent my $$'s at VWL or BCV since we only live 25 minute from VGC. Now I have 290 points here and 248 at SSR....I could have better spent the last $108pp if I had known they weren't going to have an F&W Festival!

It definitely disappoints me too. We are going there on May.

Congrats Nicoal and Happy Birthday to your Son

I was at WDW since then, just not at our Beloved while the Christmas Tree was up! But I will zip my lip, just in case.


By the way, has anyone seen Maria lately????

Have a great cruise Bobbi!!

Have a great trip! We do alternate our December trips between VWL and BWL, so our last December VWL stay was in 2008.

PS. This cruise was booked 18 months ago, talk about a slow moving trip ticker! The following weekend our DS will be getting married in New Orleans.

 

[wildernessDad]

There's no turning back now...

 

[Inkmahm]

I found this thread on page 2! You all must be busy this weekend. Just packed up our room in Boston and doing last minute email before we head out for lunch and then a trip to the airport. It has been a great trip- got my seafood fix and learned about some great new chocolate on our chocolate tour yesterday. Bought WAY too much of it to bring home with us. Other than the rain on Thursday for our Segway tour it has been pretty great here. Back to reality for this week but now I'll be looking forward to our Dec trip to WDW with family. Yay!

Hope you all had great weekends!

 

[blossomz]

Hi Guys..
Sounds like everyone is getting ready for their upcoming trips! Just popping by to say hi to the groupies!

 

[Dizny Dad]

Overheard at DiznyDi's computer last night:

24 dazzzzzzzzzzzz; 24 dazzzzzzzzzzzz;24 dazzzzzzzzzzzz;24 dazzzzzzzzzzzz;24 dazzzzzzzzzzzz;. . . . . . . . . .

Tired girl! So Many things to get done, and so little time to get it all done.

Between taking care of her mom; travelling and staying with DD & DSIL to aid them two days a week; embroidering everthing you can think of for those she promised "by Christmas"; making military shock cord bracelets and working the Craft Shows; chairing the Worship Board at church; cooking; cleaning; laundry; dog sitting; and, oh yeah, taking care of Dizny Dad, I guess there isn't any time to think about the upcoming Adventure.

Let all know how much I love and appreciate her; how much I respect her work; how much I try to notice all of the little things she does daily to make our house a home; and so all know she is the best thing that ever happened to me!

Think how much more I might discover of her if I would get out of my big soft leather chair in the evenings . . . .

It takes a big man to openly admit his love and admiration for his wife. You are my kinda guy
