We're Baaaaack!! **The WLV's groupies & Trivia Thread chapter 3

[KAT4DISNEY]

Kathy....a late "welcome back". I know we made an attempt at a "meet" but the times just weren't on our side. Maybe another time ?

Thanks Maria - weren't we were both lucky to miss all the rain they've been getting? I know it was sorely needed though and it's good they did finally get some.
It was a bummer to never make that connection for a meet but definitely another time!

30 days out and everything is already layed out! lol.

Yup, it is based on post number. But I think if you get tagged by the fairy, that disappears.

Just to clarify - yes, you can use the default that will eventually change based on posts, but you also are able to modify as I mentioned above. No tag fairy required! It was one of the first things I did when I signed up on the boards.

Yup you're right I just looked. Now I just have to figure out what I want to change it to. That requires a bit of thought!

Hi Groupies

We put our son on a plane back to Iraq today. He expects to travel about 31 hours until he's back to Kuwait.
We had a wonderful visit though it all ended much too soon!

...on to Groupie stuff... the 8th looks good for us, to. The evening of the 8th is the DVC discounted tickets to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, so we should probably plan around noontime as JT suggested.

Isn't planning so much fun!!

I'm glad you had such a good visit with your son

 

[jimmytammy]

I just wanted to say that VWL was our first DVC that we bought in 2001 and it is my absolute favorite resort on the property. I love this thread because it just makes me happy to hear how many other people love it too. My kids love the BCV but my favorite is VWL!!

We bought 2001 also, and life has been grand ever since. We all love the Lodge, and though we have ventured to some of those OTHER resorts, our hearts are always at VWL.

 

[jimmytammy]

You are so bad! I fixed the page before where I left you and gatordoc out! But here it is again, just in case you don't believe me!

I also quoted you as to what would be a good day for the meet on the first page, so people can keep up. That Tuesday would be fine for us.

I couldnt help but get a big smile when I saw my name in huge letters

 

[Disney loving Iowan]

I think I would make them myself... do you know anyone that may have a phone package plan with unlimitted state wide calling? maybe they would let you use their phone and I often find that if you call 1hr before they close the line is not busy..
Best of luck and pixie dust

Unfortunatly I need to make the reservations on a Friday and I need to make them first thing in the morning due to the free dining frenzy or I won't be able to get some of the ADR's I need like CRT. So the free calling minutes wouldn't help darn it. I don't know who I would ask anyway. The person we bought the points from is in England so that makes it a little harder too. It would be nice if the internet system would be up and running well before June 5th. Thanks everyone.

Glad you had a great visit with your son and I hope he will be safe and will be able to be home again soon.

Happy Friday Groupies...

We're heading up to Maine tonight for the weekend. Lots to Celebrate DD (aka the baby) just graduated Monday with a master in social work and DH's Birthday is Monday

We'll have a BD party and BBQ.... but I like Horeslovers BBQ menu better than mine

Hi Di
Yes.. I Love to Plan... Noon sounds good.. I'm afriad to buy advanced MVMCP tickets for that night, the last 2 years I bought the DVC discoutned tickets and it poured buckets.. we still went, got soaked, still stayed all night but DH will not go again in the rain
Funny though that night was one on my best Lodge memories....
After the party when the crowds of people were waiting for the buses we enjoyed the boat ride back to the Lodge got a cup of cocoa and just sat in the lobby and enjoyed the magic .... it was around midnight and so quiet

So Glad that you had a wonderful visit with your son prayers and pixie dust to him for a safe trip and that he'll be back home soon.

I've seen this mentioned before. What's a Tag Fairy??

Have a great time teapot. I've been to Maine before in the spring, it's beautiful. A tag fairy is an elusive creature that gives you little "tags" under your name. The tag comes from some thing you've posted.

Hi all. DW has been sick all week. She is better now.

Dave,
Good to hear from you. Glad to hear your lovely wife is on the mend.

Enjoy the long weekend gang. Drive and barbeque safely every one.

Got it! Just wanted to mention that one great advantage to the 3 day DCL cruise is that it saves weekend points!

What's a Tag Fairy? If you look under my screen name there are 3 statements in colored print. That is the TF. She (or he?) watches threads and will copy something that strikes their fancy. I was on the boards about 6 years before I got tagged. I had the semi-pixie dustless because I mentioned that I considered the Groupie Moose that we got to be something from the TF. We were the first to get a logo!

Maria

 

[Good Ol Gal]

20 more days till our trip home!

I can't wait

 

[DiznyDi]

Wishing one and all a SAFE and happy holiday week-end!

Many thanks for your kind words, good thoughts and prayers on behalf of our son. We haven't heard from him yet, though he should be back to Iraq now. My nephew is also currently in Iraq. He called yesterday to let us know that the current temperature was 130 degrees! .....And those of us in Florida in early May thought that 98 was hot!

Disney lovin Iowan Hope all goes well with your ADR's. If you're reading any of the other ADR threads - it's a frenzy out there! Good luck and that it works out for you.

Wow tea pot I sure hope the night of Dec. 8th isn't jinxed! Your story gave me warm fuzzies. I'm sitting here now thinking of the Lodge with a cup of hot chocolate in my hand and sitting in front of the fireplace with no cares in the world, a smile on my face and contentment in my heart.

Dave H Sorry to hear your wife's not been feeling well but glad to know she's feeling better. Your trip to AKV's will be here before you know it.

Good Ol Gal Your last few days will pass quickly. Before you know it, you'll be having coffee on your balcony.

Dizny Dad and I are staying home this week-end. We'll plant some flowers, do some grilling, mow the grass and sit in our rockers on the porch.

Enjoy your week-end!

Happy Sunday Groupies! Yesterday, our oldest graduated from college. I cannot believe how quickly time goes by! Then, in 2 weeks our "baby" graduates from high school....think we are going to NEED our trip to the world a little more this year????

To all our vets, active service men & women, and families.

Thanks for sharing that video.

And thank you to all who are/have served our country, and for those who gave all

DiznyDi thanks! I sure could use the moose dust! I am so grateful to your son and nephew for what they are doing for our country. I hope they know how much they are appreciated.

Aww. I am already dreading my DD graduating from high school in 2 years. Congrats and

Hope everyone has a good and safe Memorial Day. Thanks for the video Eliza. That always makes me think of what it was like for my Dad when he came back from Vietnam. I am so glad when soldiers get a reception like in the video instead of what my Dad came home to. Whether or not we agree with the war we always need to treat our soldiers with respect and gratitude. Thanks to all who are serving now, who served in the past or who stayed at home and kept the family going.

 

[Granny]

Eliza...thanks for the video. The sentiment contained in that commercial rings very true. And I thank all veterans throughout our country's history who have made the things that we take for granted possible.

 

[MiaSRN62]

Awesome video eliza.....

thanking our armed service men and women...our vets .......Happy Memorial Day ...........

Hope everyone is out having fun and eating some good food.
Well looks like the stupid economy has ruined our plans for September. With our hours being cut we just can't save up enough money for the trip and just cannot jusify going into debt for it. We rented points from someone else so now we have to hope that we can sell those points to someone else. We may just try to sell the whole trip otherwise. This stinks!!!
The upside to this is that DD will not miss 6 days of school for the trip. I wasn't feeling too good about that anyway. And now we won't have to worry about making ADR's.
We will just have to look forward to going in June of 2010. So so far away.
