Hello peeps,

Just checking in. We have been busy bees over here with the end of year stuff at my sons school. he is graduating from elem and they are having all kinds of parties and events. we leave in 6 days for disney and getting very excited. But I have been so tired the last two days. I had a really weird dream about my son and I eating at disney and getting dessert out of the bathroom??:confused3 weird I know bc I am very weird about germs and would never eat anything in a bathroom. anyway weird and then we were jumping over people in the lazy river at the water park.

I dont know maybe I am worrying about too much. Hope everyone in the group is doing ok and is safe. The weather has been so bad and so sad for the people that have been going through so much with the tornadoes and hate to see all of the people that lost their lives. So many young kids too. just sad.:sad1:

getting dessert out of the bathroom? Tag fairy, where are you???:lmao:

But riding the lazy river people (like riding the jellies in Nemo) sounds like fun!:thumbsup2 Have fun getting excited.
And I'm with you on the tornado happenings. So sad.:sad2:

Hey all

I am running into a brick wall trying to get Stans DW on phone, and answering machine is either full or cut off. So if anyone wants his address at home, PM me. Still hoping to catch her to get an update.

Thanks Jimmy for trying. PM on its way.

WildernessDad, did you get to see that glass cantilever that goes out over the canyon?
I have absolutely no fear of heights and would love to walk on it!:woohoo:

We are starting to think about Dec 2012. Anyone else?? Looking at cruises at that time for after our beloved Lodge.:santa:

No and no thank you. :). Not interested in dangling myself in virtual thin air.

Hi Groupies:

DH and I arrived home late this afternoon. Woke up at 3am, rolled out of bed at 4:30am and Bell Services picked us up at 7:30am. Bus departed at 8:30am and it was very sad to leave :sad1:. Flight home was OK (minus a last minute decision to circle Newak airport due to a plane sitting on the runway) but for the first time our luggage is lost. :scared1: Continental has no record of the luggage arriving at Orlando airport so I'm on hold now with SSR hoping that Bell Services can provide more information. Out of all of our years flying/cruising we never had this happen to us. Did anyone ever have this issue? I'm in tears at this point wondering where our luggage is and my mother's birthday present is packed in our luggage.

Muushka ~ How's Lucy doing today? Being a cat lover, I hope she's better. Our flight was OK (you know how much I love to fly....) and I had a little one behind me kicking my seat the entire flight. I kindly asked to please stop kicking/playing with the tray after an hour but that didn't do any good. Now our luggage is missing and have no clue where it is. :confused: When we got off the plane I noticed it was heading back to Orlando... I was ready to turn around and go back! LOL

GoofyTraci ~ Your dreams are too funny.Hope you and your family will have a great vacation! Enjoy!

Inkmahm ~ Best of luck to your DH with his upcoming surgery. Great news that your FIL is doing very well. I'll defintely keepy your DH/FIL/Ranger Stan in my thoughts/prayers. Please keep us posted on everyone.

Nicoal13 ~ Great pictures! Looks like everyone had a great time. Thanks for sharing.

For those vacationing at WDW... have a great time and enjoy!
 
Welcome back to reality Trish! So sorry the luggage didn't make the flight with you. Funny, we had friends down from MA last week and their luggage didn't make it to MA with them. This was on Southwest Air. Strange.

Lucy is doing much better, thank you! After her intensive care indoors yesterday (due to storms) she is right back to her usually self today.

Happy Memorial Day Groupies. I heard on talk radio yesterday that as we always remember those that served in the military, we might also remember those brave souls that were on flight 93 on 9/11.

I love Southwest, but last night I wasn't quite feelin' the luv. They didn't bring my suitcase with us to Orlando. Thank the Lord for our OL's :rotfl:. Sad to say the only reason I had to check my bag was because I was brining some full sized liquids to replenish our OL with too... ugh. Thankfully SWA got on top of it and my bag arrived this morning, but yeah (Bell Svcs called to say it was here at about 7:30 this morning). First there was a flight delay (not truly SWA's fault, as there was some sort of medical crisis on my connecting flight where the paramedics had to be called in... hopefully whoever had a problem is ok) - so we arrived at MCO more than 40 minutes late, and then the baggage issue. I was "supposed" to arrive on property around 10:15ish - I didn't get here til just after midnight. YAWN.

Today was a great day though. I got to ride Star Tours five times thanks to working the FP timing. Crowds were definitely there, but not as big as spring break or Christmas. Lots of texting back and forth tonight with Corinne & Julie - so we're planning our meet tomorrow night at the MK! :cool1: And I got some nice rocking time in at the waterfront (my room at SSR looks directly across the water to Fulton's). Headed over to the Lodge tomorrow and hopefully again on Monday. I'll post some pictures soon.

So just curious....have you "figured it out yet" having been on the ride five times? I rode it half a dozen times earlier this week at DLR and understand how the new ride works. I don't want to spoil it for anyone, because it is still really cool regardless of how they did it!

I think so, yes, but am not completely sure. I'll be back over there tomorrow and again on Monday before I have to leave for the business part of this trip. I'm hoping to get another 2-5 trips under my belt before I leave the property, and hopefully experience more of the possibilities. I don't want to spoil anything either. Like you said, regardless, it's cool. I can't wait to experience it/see the physical changes out there in November (though that might be October now due to some scheduling changes at work... which could throw my VGC stay out the window ... grrrr).

I was on my way to figuring it out when one of the DL CMs was telling another person about how it works, and then all the pieces came into place. I still like it and will continue to enjoy it, but I don't think I'll be riding it for a while since I know the lines at DLR will be 2 hours for a long time.

I spoke with Carolyn last night, she had just stepped in at home. Stan went into hospital Mon., his blood was low, so that had to be administered too before treatments. So Tues, he was given 2 pints of blood. His white cell count went from 37 to 18, which allowed him to start chemo on Wed. He will take treatments for 7 days, then off 7. After the off 7, he will have a bone marrow test with hopes all will be clear. If not, treatments will resume.

Carolyn says his spirits are bright as possible, he is enjoying visits from friends from church and fellow coworkers from the Lodge. He loves getting cards. he cant get plants or flowers as anything may trigger disease. Carolyn says their biggest concern is as treatments progress, and the 7 days after are critical because he can be strongly drawn to any germs or disease being in such a weak state. If we are to pray for specifics, this is an area to concentrate on right now.

So here is the address
Florida Hospital Altamonte
601 East Altamonte Dr.
Altamonte Springs, FL 32701
Room # 3906
Mr. Stan Moore
 
Thanks Jimmy for pursuing and posting Ranger Stan's address. Certainly our prayers are heading home for Stan & Carolyn.
 
Hi Groupies:

Hope all of you are enjoying your vacations and the long weekend!

Luggage Update ~ I spoke to a manager at SSR last night and she informed me that our luggage ended up on a much later flight and arrived at Newark Airport at 8:30pm. I contacted Continental later in the evening for an update and the airport did have it. We received our luggage today at 3pm. All contents accounted for but our luggage was damaged. I left a message with Continental and the "damage dept." is closed. Not sure if anything can be done but it can't hurt to ask. No one could explain why our luggage didn't get on our 11:15am flight and we checked in at 7:30am at SSR. This was a first for us in all the years we traveled.

Muushka ~ Reality is so much fun! Actually I prefer the magical feeling that I had for the past two weeks! LOL Thank goodness that Lucy is back to herself.

stopher1 ~ Aren't those rocking chairs great? DH/I sat in them for a while on Thursday night and loved it. I think you are one building over from where we were. We had a partial view of DTD due to the trees blocking us but it also provided us a lot of privacy if people were walking around on the path near the courtyard. Loved being in CP and having the pool nearby. Sorry that you had issues with your luggage but glad things worked out for you. Enjoy and have a great time meeting up with Corinne.

Have a great evening everyone!
