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

[stopher1]

Yay!! Have a great time. Take lots of pictures. Post them here. We really like it when people do that.


GUESS WHAT!!!!!!

The Main Street Electrical Parade will be there when we are there!!!

Stopher!!! Does that rock or what????

I'm not telling Mr. Muush. Another great suprise for him!!!

THAT DOES ROCK, indeed!!

Hi Groupies!
I feel really out of the loop lately. My DisBoard time has been minimal as of late.

Great news! cheer4bison Many congratulations to you. We'll still be at the World on the 10th - but that's our last day and probably a meet won't work for us.

Wow, Stopher, that was some scout meeting! To have the veteran was impressive, but add to that an intel officer and top it off with an American flag - and one that has already seen its share of history. How wonderful for your troop! Who knows what may have been sparked in these young minds by this show of patriotism - maybe one of your scouts will aspire to be President of the US, or will head up the FBI/CIA. Just think of the possibilities....

Enjoy your trip, DisneyNutzy! There's a whole bunch of us coming right behind you!

Thanks Eliza for the pics!

Enjoy your week-end Groupies! We're celebrating my moms 80th birthday with a party for family and friends.

Stopher...wow, what an amazing day for the Troop (and you)! I have to think that the events of your day will be in those boys memories for the rest of their lives. Great that they could hear some of that from a WWII vet...there aren't many left these days.

What a great troop meeting! I wish the same kind of program could be done at the schools so that all the students could be exposed to some of our nation's finest. My dad was a Navy corpsman attached to a Marine unit in the Pacific theatre during WWII. He made several landings before he was wounded on Iwo Jima while administering aid to a Marine. I wish that he had spoken more of his service before he passed.

It really was an amazing night. He also brought maps of the island, photos from then and now, and lots of various decorations, medals and the like from his service. Like so many, he deflected any of the praise and honor, just telling the Scouts it was his duty and he did it. IF ONLY some of their generation could catch on that spirit of responsibility and duty that our parents/grandparents generation lived with daily - it would such a refreshing change from the me first mentality that sadly pervades so many youth today. It made me very proud of our Troop Monday night, and the fine young men some of them are turning out to be...when you truly could hear a pin drop, since everyone was totally enraptured and engrossed in what he had to share. He definitely brought history alive, and I learned more about Sherman tanks from his talk then I ever have known from reading the encyclopedia! He drove several, and flipped one! Kinda hard to do at 40 tons, but he did.

 

[Muushka]

He flipped a 40 ton Sherman! Wait till I tell Mr Muush that one! Sounds incredible

Happy 80th Birthday to DiznyMom!!!

Happy 80th Birthday to DiznyMom!!!

Wow! Happy Birthday DiznyMom!

I'm excited to say that I just made our first VWL reservation as DVC members this morning (at 7 months). We'll be staying 4 nights in a studio. We've stayed at WL once before, but not as DVC members. Can't wait!

Don't worry: we'll take only pictures and leave only footprints(tm)... but not on the carpet!

Congrats! My first trip there as an owner is coming in three weeks, though I've stayed there four times before. Yeah, please try to keep the carpet clean. . .

 

[NJMermaid]

4 days till OKW, then 4 more days til VWL, yippee, I love the Lodge

Well now, a lover of The Lodge. If you feel the need to add a Moosie to your siggy, please grab him!
I'll bet he would look mighty handsome on you!

Have a great time.

 

[wildernessDad]

We did some major things towards finalizing packing yesterday. Bought all the toiletries, undies and the like. Got the bags out and gussied up with new Wilderness Lodge luggage tags and the DME luggage tags. Finishing packing will be a piece of cake. And we have a little over 3 weeks to go!

We're all anxious to get out of Dodge and head to the Lodge!

Evenin' groupies! Just stopping by to set a spell. I can't believe how busy life has been. Decided for our Feb dream cruise to stay over night at BCV and do dinner at Kouzzina before getting up the next day and heading to the Port. Then we come back and spend 2 nights at our beloved lodge!

Welcome new groupies!

 

[wildernessDad]

Hopefully in just 3 weeks from now, I'll be sitting on a plane which is ready to take off. I'll be tired, but relieved to be on the plane and going!

Sounds wonderful . What is Kouzzina ?

Then coming straight to our meet!

I don't usually post stuff like this on the boards. But it was such a strange lunch I had to share.

We ate at Maggianos on Saturday. They had a deal where you ate your meal there and they gave you one to take home and eat the next day. Good deal. Oh, and a coupon for a $2 dessert.

All is fine so far. We have a very nice waiter and enjoying ourselves.

Suddenly at the table next to us a cute little boy starts throwing up. Not once, not twice....about 4 times (at that location).

Poor mom. She was so patient and kind to the little guy. When it seemed like he was done, she started taking him to the restroom. Nope, not done. As she carried him past our table and onto the walkway (with little spaghettis dangling from his tiny sneakers, the stuff he stepped in) he hurled again. OK, all done with that episode.

Except I don't know what the restaurant's SOP for vomit is, but the pile the kid created stayed there for our entire lunch. Luckily it didn't have an odor. They stepped over the mess on the walkway for about 15 minutes until someone cleaned that one up.

We ate our lunch, quietly shaking our heads at the lack of response. Then came the dessert. We ordered the:

Chocolate Zuccotto Cake
Chocolate cake layered with sambuca chocolate mousse, iced with chocolate frosting and dusted with cocoa powder.

We asked for 2 forks, so we could share. They brought this thing out and I swear they needed a forklift to put it onto the plate. It was the largest piece of anything I have ever seen in my life. And Mr Muush grabs his fork and thinks he is going to attack it as is!!! Ha! Waiter, can we have a knife please? I cut off 2 slices from it and it is still a monster!!!! And really good too. So we take the rest home. Along with lunch leftovers.

So we eat the lunch leftovers for dinner, and of course, another slice of the Chocolate Monster.

Sunday we have half of the take home meal that we got for free. And of course another slice of the Chocolate Monster.
Here is the really strange thing about our adventure (like it wasn't strange enough). I got eggplant parmigiana with spaghetti on the side. I started seeing whole cloves of garlic. So far I have counted 18 cloves of garlic in just my meal!!

Sitting in our refrigerator is the remainder of the Chocolate Monster (enough for 2 more slices) and the rest of our dinners.

Oh Barb! WHAT a fascinating lunch indeed!

That poor kid, and poor mom. And of course poor you and Mr. Muush too.

I remember once back when my eldest was about 2 we were in the Olive Garden with my mother. At a table right smack in the middle of the primary dining room, so at least all of the smaller ones off to the sides couldn't see ... my son did just that - except his was projectile. Thankfully none of us were right across the table from him! Oh it was terrible, and such a mess... but I will say that the OG staff reacted almost as well as if someone needed to call 911. They were ON IT so fast, and several came around and created a human barrier so that the diners on the side that got blasted didn't have to look at it.

All I can say about both your lunch and ours all those years ago... yuck. I don't deal that kind of stuff very well, but roll with it when needed.

 

[Muushka]

Ah! So you know of what I speak! At least OG handeled it well.

I found out what Kouzzina is. Kat Cora's restaurant! We love Kat on Iron Chef.

Happy Monday gang,
Has anyone tried Kouzzina's? It's gotten pretty good reviews over on the restaurant thread.
Very ecclectic menu including some Greek speciality drinks. I can honestly say I haven't had Greek cuisine.

 

[Muushka]

Oh, I didn't realize it was Greek (although I should have figured that out).

Greek food is one food that Mr Muush and I both agree on. We love Soulvaki. Yum.

I need to look up that menu.

Say E, how is cooking school going? Do tell!!!

 

[wildernessDad]

You guys need to come to Baltimore and eat at Samos for the best in Greek food.
