Sorry couldn't figure out how to do 2 pics in the same post from my phone. We went to MNSSHP last night. Here are the costumes. We got lots of compliments.

Greetings from BWV!

Look what I got today.

Greetings!

Love the pics! Your family looks amazing.
I think I might have to add that ornament to our tree back at home too. Have a collection of mickey eared ones, but no stripes

DLI and Inkmahm, we'll keep our breakfast meet; Friday December 9th at 8:30 AM At Whispering Canyon Cafe. If there is anyone else interested in our breakfast meet, please send me a PM or respond to the thread. I'm happy to add to our current reservation.

Now, about a 2nd meet that could include tea pot, any suggestions? The 10th is doable for DDad and me. Or we can try for another time/place. Throw out some suggestions.

Julie, great pic of the family! Weather looks to be not so good for our scheduled party on Tuesday evening.

Only 2 more sleeps

LOVE the costumes! They look great! And the kids even have their own haversacks!

Welcome! We recently closed on a 150 point contract, and will be making our first trip home (stayed at the Lodge previously) in about three weeks!

 

[wildernessDad]

50 days to go!!!!!

50 days to go!!!!!

We are down to 7 days

I wish we could all be there at the same time

Rain, rain go away! Nothing but rain & more rain on the horizon here at WDW. We went to DHS this morning but it was pretty miserable. I know many people just like to go & make the best of it but I really don't enjoy the parks in the rain especially when it's windy (like today). It's supposed to rain for the next couple of days. Glad we made it to the party when we did. We're headed to Kona for lunch in a bit & then guess where we're headed after? The boys have some school work to do so we'll head up to our "secret" spot to work & read. At least we'll be in a pleasant setting.

Have a good weekend groupies!

EeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeHaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

 

[Dizny Dad]

Our household is now 21 hours out from the Launch of the next Disney Adventure!

DiznyDi is so disappointed in the weather forecasts for this coming week. And her mantra of the house is "one more sleep"! We've all been there before, so I know it will probably by a series of catnaps rather than any sleeping goin' on.

So who will have the bigger adventure and taller tales to tell; DiznyDi & DD, or Dizny Dad & DSL (left behind to do male bonding)?

Remember Muush . . . if the police are in our driveway, act natural and drive on past. . . . . .

Sounds good to me! We will definitely be there on the 9th. Will be good to see you again! I have no Illuminations cruise booked this year as it is just DH and I and not extended family with us on this trip. We really enjoyed the anniversary cruise last year with the cake. Disny did a great job on the cruise AND the Mickey cake!

If there are any more meets added to the schedule, we'll see if we can make it to those, too. But if not, breakfast will be great. I've never done breakfast at the WC so this should be fun!

We don't head to F&W at Disney until the 19th and I'm grateful for that. I checked the weather report and it is supposed to be raining for many days in Orlando. Yuck! I saw other posts about it being monsoon season there the last two days. I don't mind some rain if I can put on a poncho and carry on without getting soaked. But I HATE those days with the rain blowing sideways and getting wet feet. It's been a LONG time since we had a day that wet on a Disney trip, thank God. We had a wet Alaska trip in August so I'm hoping that covers our quota of vacation rain days for awhile.

On the other hand, I can't think of a nicer place to huddle in to enjoy a rainy day than our beloved lodge.

New topic- my now pulled tooth. Everything went very well on Wed and I've had no problem at all with the hole in my mouth. It is on the bottom and far enough back that you can't see it and my tongue doesn't really notice that it is there. I was really worried how I would handle this for 8 months until I can get the tooth implant but so far so good! The dentist was also able to use a cheaper membrane on it so I saved about $600 from the original estimate. I'm also thankful to the cadaver that produced the bone material I needed to be added to my jaw bone. I wouldn't be able to get an implant without it. Dynaguy and I are both signed up to be organ donors someday. I never expected to benefit from some else's donation of their bone. It's amazing what can be done these days.

I love the costumes Julie!! Glad you had a nice evening for the party and I hope the weather gets a break for you and our other groupies heading that way. That includes you DiznyDi - have a great trip without the guys!

Good to hear your dental appointment went well Inkmahm. I had so many teeth pulled as a kid that I am a huge knot when I go in for just a cleaning. I walk out exhausted because I've been tensed up the whole time! If I had to have a tooth pulled now I'd probably be a complete basket case and have to be drugged before even going into the building then strapped to the chair to stay.

I'm just waiting to check DH and I in on our next Disney Adventure. (All done now - got the A group). I think we have lucked out with better coast for this week - sunny and highs of 80-94 degrees! We're off for 3 nights to DL to use up the holding points we gathered from our May trip. I'm thrilled that we got into VGC - it took a few phone calls but MS was great at looking for any available dates open 60 days out and on one call these 3 nights had opened up in a 1BR. And I had one point to spare! VGC has been pretty well sold out for the holiday seasons for awhile so I was fully expecting to be heading south in Jan or Feb but now we get to see Halloween. We'll be doing lots of shows tomorrow after we arrive - Aladdin, Remember Dreams come true Fireworks and Fantasmic. Tuesday is the Halloween party and Wednesday we'll take in WOC. Can't wait!!!

I had my first cavity filled when I was only 2 years old so I'm pretty used to the dentist chair. When I was a kid, I think I had about 5 or 6 cavities every 6 months. I'm surprised my poor parents didn't go broke just from my dental bills. This tooth pulling was much easier than a root canal. Those are my least favorite things to do.

Have you been to VGC before? We were there in Januay and loved it. The hotel is great and so are the villas. Don't miss Napa Rose for dinner! One of our favorite restaurants anywhere.

Lol - my teeth were practically silver instead of white. Then I turned 18 and virtually nothing since. I so wish they had hardened up or made the change sooner!!!

This will be my 3rd stay at VGC but DH's first. And before that I've had another 3 stays at GC. Just love it there. We haven't done Napa Rose yet and I've been thinking about it for this trip but don't know if we'll fit it in since we have shows every evening to see that DH hasn't taken in yet. If we don't then definitely next trip which is over my birthday next June. I have always heard wonderful things about it!!
