VWL Lovers & Groupies Thread: Meese-ka, Mice-ka MOOSE-kateers

[Grumpy Grandma]

Hi Jimmy. So glad you enjoyed our beloved Dixie Landings.

I love Mickey Thomas and his beautiful voice. Grace Slick wasn't with them. was she?

Heck, I even liked them before they graduated from Airplanes to Starships!

ELO is just Orchestra? What is this world coming to??

Now you're talking my timeframe .... loved the Airplane! Wish I would have been there to see them.

Hey groupies. I wasn't going to share this for fear of jinxing myself, but have reconsidered. With the groupies pulling for me & having as much moose dust & good thoughts flying as possible I can only be better off. I made it to round 2 for the 2012 Disney Mom's panel. I submitted my video & answers to the round 2 questions today. I of course included as much gushing about our beloved Lodge as I could cram into a 100 word response. . I spoke from my heart & did my best so I can only hope that was enough. I would appreciate any good thoughts, prayers, or moose dust you would care to send out. Thanks friends!

to both of you! How cool would it be to have TWO groupies on the moms panel?

Moose and Pixie Dust coming your way Ladies

Thanks Jimmy. I forgot I have some Emergen-C that we can take.

Hugs to a Certain Groupie for some great health info.

I would like to second the endorsement of EmergenC ! I took it faithfully the week preceeding my cruise and all during my cruise ! Hope Mr and Mrs Muushka feel better VERY SOON !

Thanks Maria. Just got back from the doc. I felt like a wuss, I don't usually go for the crud.
We got some antibiotics in case it gets worse, but good for now.

Grace Slick bowed out a few yrs ago but the lady who replaced her is good. She did a good job on White Rabbit and the newer tunes she did good covering along with Mickey.

The Orchestra is a rendition of ELO, no longer with Jeff Lynne, but a fellow who sounds a lot like him. 2 or 3 of the fellows are formers from the original, but because of contract stuff cant call themselves ELO.

Also, WI FI is present in all rooms now!!

One more sleep!

Tomorrow night we'll be at BLT. Then BWV for Food and Wine the rest of the trip. Yay! This is one of my favorite trips of the year. I LOVE Epcot during F&W.

Hello friends.

I've been so busy with other things in the past month, I haven't had much time to be on here. But I wanted to share that my father-in-law's battle with cancer ended earlier this morning. He has crossed the finish line and gone on to eternity. He was surrounded by his kids and it was peaceful. My kids and I will be flying west for the funeral next week. And then about a week after that, my lovely bride will finally come home to us. It's been a long stay for her, but so very worthwhile. I'm so glad that she has had this time to spend with her father. She will have been out there for 6 weeks by the time she returns home. So with this time, and the 12 days she spent last fall after he was diagnosed, and the 10 days she spent with him in June, she got to spend about 2 1/2 of his 14-month fight with him. Which I think is awesome, given the 2200 mile distance between where we live and where he did live. She will cherish those days for the rest of her life.

Thanks for all of the prayers, thoughts, messages, etc over the course of his illness. You are all appreciated so much.

Stopher
We are sad for you folks, and we will continue to send prayers to our Saviour for peace to come, but we rejoice with you as you celebrate your FILs "crossing over the river to rest under the shade of the trees". How joyous the angels must be singing as another soul has returned to be by our Creators side.

 

[horselover]

Christopher - my thoughts & prayers are with you & your family during this difficult time. My deepest condolences to you.

 

[franandaj]

Stopher, so sorry for your loss, but it was wonderful that he could leave this world with such dignity and a loving family at his side. I'm sure you will be glad to have your family back home again all together.

 

[KAT4DISNEY]

My deepest condolences Stopher on the passing of your FIL. Will be thinking of you, your wife and your family during this sad time.

 

[Grumpy Grandma]

Stopher so sorry for your loss.

Well Groupies, yes, we did make it back from our little jaunt to DL and had a wonderful, albeit too short, time. Halloween time - wow - what a sugar overload!!!!! I think that's what depleted my immunity b/c I also came back with a nice little cold. Sniff, sniff. It's really driving me crazy since we're having awesome weather and there's a whole lot more I want to do before the winter sets in but not being able to breathe is curtailing my plans.

VGC, as usual, did not disappoint. For the first time we were in a 1BR and it was beautiful, wonderful, gorgeous etc. etc. I love the finishes there and the layout and think it ought to be the blue print for any new DVC's built.

We saw all the shows we really wanted to (although only caught Billy Hill and the Hillbillies out doing a little street performance). DCA is so torn up but we still enjoyed. And we tried the Halloween party. Lots of candy - better than what they hand out at WDW although the "parade" didn't come close to comparing, and we were able to do quite a few rides. It was a fun night.

Now we're on to our planning for WDW in 2 1/2 weeks - so fast! DH is back getting his New England fix and then I'll be off to MN once he gets back so lots going on. We'll need that vacation to FL!

 

[Muushka]

Christopher, we are sad for the loss of your father-in-law.
But at the same time, you are able to see and share the blessings. For that, we give thanks.

 

[Nicoal13]

Stopher you and your family have my sympathy and are in my prayers.

 

[MiaSRN62]

Christopher....you and your family are held close in thought and prayer during this very difficult time for all who were touched by his loss.

 

[wildernessDad]

Stopher,

Sorry to hear about the lost of your FIL. Condolences to you and your family.

 

[twinklebug]

So sorry Stopher. Best wishes for you, your wife, kids and family. Not a joyous occasion, but hope there's some sunshine and a few laughs involved as your family reflects on your FIL's life and how he touched you all.
