Hi Maria! Is that a Sat.? I think so. It's not likely we'll be in Epcot on Sat. but we are staying at BWV & I do have an AP so it might be possible for me to pop over quick. I'll PM you my cell #.

Sounds good Julie ! Rose N Crown is not far from BWV

It's been awhile since I've posted, but it's been a busy time. Most recently, luvvwl and I completed a park-n-cruise trip via WDW and DCL. We spent a day at the World (MK, dinner at AP, DHS for evening EMH), spent the night in our beloved "home," then headed over to Port Canaveral for a 4-night cruise on the Dream. The cruise (and the day at the World, too) were tremendous--such a grand experience for us both. I'll be putting some pics on here soon, but if anyone is interested, there are already some posted on the Cruise line TR forum. Have a great weekend!

Sure..."right" click it and "save image as". Save it to a place or folder of your choosing on your computer. Then, use a photo storage site such as offered here on DIS or something like Photobucket. Once downloaded to the site of your choosing, you can copy the image url here and paste it on your signature set up page here on DIS.

HTH !

THANKS SO MUCH!!!!

Is there a list for those visiting the lodge in 2012? If so add us (3/3-3/8/2012).

Stopher has been keeping that list. You should PM him with the info to make certain he sees it.

Are there non dedicated two bedrooms at VWL? How are the sofa beds in these and the one in the living room? THANKS

We Fly out early in the morning for a Mother daughter -daughter get away
at the BLT, sadly for us the oldest daughter is in NYC for a wedding
maybe next time it would be all four of us.

We're planning on a real low key stay.
I sure will be taking the boat over to our beloved Lodge
and spending some time just hanging out
in one of those cozy spots over looking the lobby.
Our only scheduled time is MNSSHP on Tues night.
Also hoping to meet up with Maria for some groupie fun.

I'm still trying to catch up on the thread
thanks for the welcome back Horselover and Muushka

My heart and prayers go out to all the groupies who have losses of jobs
and loved ones over the past few months,
as well as those who have had challenges with health and family issues.
I said it before and after reading back I just need to say it again.
I'm so grateful to have found such a truly caring group of people here in Disney Cyberspace
and having the privilege of meeting some of you in person is just simply the best.

Promise to take pictures
take care and stay well

There are--a 1BR attached to a studio, so you'd have two beds (master and the studio) plus one sofa bed (1BR). The sofa beds I've slept on are comfy. . .they're not as nice as a real bed, but they aren't cheap, 2-inch mattresses, either.

Hey Groupies,

It's now just about 2 weeks since I lost my job. And what a crazy 2 weeks it's been. I know that some of you see my stuff over on facebook, so you're already aware, but some of you aren't. I haven't had time (despite being unemployed) to spend hanging around on here. Much as I'd like to.

I spent the first week working with recruiters and a resume writer getting to a place where I could actually start applying for jobs. Plus working with the unemployment folks, benefits and other crud like that. This past week I've identified and applied for 10 full-time positions, as well as identified 5 more potential ft positions that I need to work on applying for. (It's astounding how much time one stinking application can take.) Plus I've applied for 7 part-time roles until a FT role comes along. I'm praying that I'll get some sort of response (positive would be good) regarding getting some interview action soon. Fingers crossed. I have also spent a lot of time working on my FB and web presence for the FTJ stuff. That has been slowly starting to pay off, so that's good.

Tuesday I took my DW and 2 younger kids to the airport and sent them on their way to CA. FIL is looking to be in his final weeks now, so we just sent them along. MY eldest and I will fly out this coming Thursday. We had to get approval from the school and such for an excused absence, and the timing was hard to determine. FIL is on oxygen most of the day, sleeps at least 1/2 the day now, and has lost something like 30-40 lbs in the past 3-4 weeks. He barely eats, and is required to have 24/7 care now. My BIL has been with him the past couple of weeks. DW plans to be out there for the duration now. Who knows what will happen when we get out there, but as it is right now, my son will fly back on the 5th, and the 2 younger ones and I will come home on the 10th. But if things change while we're there, then the return flights might be changed as well. We'll see.

Soooo..... I've been a little busy and had my mind on other things lately. But I hope you all are doing well. It's been fun playing email tag with Muuskha, and the various FB messages and texts have been encouraging - even if I haven't yet replied... but I will.

Take care friends. More later.

How do you become a VWL Groupie???

Well Denise... I see that you already have a lovely moosie in your signature -so presto! you are one. Groupies have a love for the Lodge. Groupies love to talk about and share their love for the Lodge. Groupies are nice people, and keep this the friendliest thread on the DIS. So... WELCOME as a Groupie!

YAY I am a groupie, I am a groupie. LOL Funny thing...at first when I added the BWL siggies....I had the "groupie" one. Then I noticed that some people have the "groupie" and some don't. SO I took my "groupie" one off and added the other one. I didn't want to cross a line.

 

[DiznyDi]

Stopher as you and your family face the difficult days ahead. Keep us posted as you're able. Prayers heavenward.

teapot we've missed you! So nice to enjoy a Mother/Daughter/Daughter trip together and especially nice that you'll get to meet up with Maria. Our daughter and I will arrive on the 9th but unfortunately I think our paths won't cross this trip.

Julie and Maria I hope the stars align just right and you're able to meet. Rose and Crown sounds like a great spot!

Granny, thanks for the pictures!

Just went to read the TR. It was great sleepydog25. Looks like you both had a blast. The Dream looks beautiful. Wonder if the Magic has sushi ??? Glad Trop storm Maria didn't make too much trouble !

 

[wildernessDad]

stopher, it looks like you are doing a great job on the job search. I'd be very surprised if something doesn't open up for you.

In other, non important news, I got my siggie back!

Also, and this is very important, I need a Lodge fix badly! Who's with me?
