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

[Corinne]

Here's to 70's and wishful thinking !!!! Because Spring has not shown itself in PA yet !

Amen to that, Maria! We had snow again here in MA on Friday. About an inch or so, but it did melt yesterday. It is still not warm enough for me, but hopefully soon!

I hear ya, brutal winter in NY this year. Can't wait for the warm weather!

Having WDW/DVC longings here in NC. Its been a little over a week since being home, but it seems like its been forever. Cant wait for Oct. to get here!!

Same here, except part of me hopes Oct comes slowly. It is just starting to be spring here in WI and late October means it would be getting cold and ready to snow again. I hate that part of October.

Hearing you all talk about this awful Winter makes me so thankful to live in So Cal. While we were almost washed away in Jan, things have been much milder lately. I don't think I could survive those rough Winters!

We usually start getting snow in late October too. Past two years it snowed maybe 1-2 inches Oct 29-30. Still doesn't feel like Spring to me here in the Philly area......still hoping and praying it comes soon.......

and yes franandaj......be very happy you're in So Cal.

Me too!!!! I feel like I never went anywhere the trip was so short. I keep thinking about what I was doing at this time a week ago. The wheels in my brain keep spinning wondering if I could squeeze another short weekend in before Oct.! I have a credit from AirTran that needs to be used before the fall. Was thinking of Memorial Day weekend for just DH & myself, but the fares are crazy high so that's likely a no go. Will just have to wait until Oct.

Hit 63 here today with promise of low 70s tomorrow before dropping into the low 50s for Tuesday. But. After that, 60s and 70s through next weekend. Love the mountains when the weather turns nice. . .

Have a great week Groupies! We leave for the World in the am...

... the bags are packed, the last load of laundry is in the washer waiting to go into the dryer so we have empty hampers when we get home...

... the car is gassed up and ready to go to the airport...

... the excitement has become unbearable... can't wait to get there once again. We'll be at OKW, but popping over to the Lodge at least twice, maybe even more. Going to try to get some new pictures that I haven't yet done before... we'll see. Wish you all could come along for real... but since that isn't possible, we'll be together in spirit, ok? Ok. I'll try to pop in mid-week or so and maybe even post some pictures.

Have a great week Groupies!

Stopher - bet no one sleeps at your house tonight! Looking forward to pics and a report upon your return. Have a great trip!

It was nice to make it back home this afternoon. I want to thank everyone for the support and prayers that were given. The funeral went well with a lovely eulogy given by my nephew and my brother was laid to rest on Friday afternoon. In keeping with most of his life it had a last minute twist when the vault company got stuck in the cemetary. So my brother got "curbside" service. A site I never expect to see again with us standing in the middle of a gravel country road and the vault on the side. Considering he loved the unusual I think it was fairly fitting. But odd. And a reminder to pick out my urn.

Stopher - have a great trip!! When flying back today DH and I really wanted to get on a plane to Orlando!

Barb - the kitchen is beautiful! Love the lodge touches.

It seems like spring has finally sprung here in Reno. Grass is starting to grow here in the valley and we didn't need a parka on to walk out to the car. Nice!

And now a picture of one of my favorite places......

 

[franandaj]

I didn't know you were going so soon Stopher! Have a great time!

 

[jimmytammy]

Kathy Glad things went well and glad you can look on the bright side of a mishap being in line with things. God has a way of easing our minds through such matters.

Stopher Have a great trip and thanks for taking us along. Enjoy that big ol room at OKW. Please tell the Lodge hello for me

I just wanted to check in and say that I had a nice time at OKW. Those studios are niiiiice!

I'm looking forward to our DLR trip and then Southwest excursion coming up in about 33 days.

Aren't they nice. OKW is one of our favorites simply for the room size.


Frank Wells, CEO of the Walt Disney company from 9/1984 to 4/1994 ( a period when it enjoyed unprecedented growht and a 1500% increase in it's stock price) was an avid mountain climber. In 1983, he set out to be the 1st to climb the highest mountain on each of the world's 7 continents within a single year. He summited 6 but was forced to turn back near the top of Everest. Unfortunately he was tragically killed in a helicopter crash before attempting again.

He is honored with the highest window on Main street, USA. If you look at it, it says "Seven Summits Expeditions", Frank Wells, Prop.

The OKW studios are awesome.....love the fact you get to real beds. My teens are too keen on the sofa beds anymore......especially not for stays over 2-3 nights. Glad you had fun WD !
