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

[blossomz]

Hi everyone! Another busy week here...and another freezing forecast...snow and ice are upon us!

Been reading all of the restaurant questions and I love'm all..

Narcoosies..love it
Just did Yachtsman for the first time over Christmas and really liked it..food and atmosphere..

Artist Point..fabulous! Get a window view!

Wow! No wonder I stay away from those other threads! I much prefer our warm and cozy group!!

Good morning Groupies!

Woke up to about 4 inches of snow on the ground in central Pennsylvania...none of the dreaded sleet/ice yet but this isn't supposed to stop until early evening.

Heading out to work for 12 hours-would rather pull up a chair by the fire and chat with all of you, but sick people in the hospital seem to think that they need a nurse on snow days too
Wonder how many of my coworkers are going to opt out today and stay home...

G'morning Groupies.

We got about 8" of snow in the last 12 hours. I know that's not much compared to many others, but it's our first snowfall accumulation of the year.

Made for an interesting drive to work

I looked at the point charts and it seems that for our usual vacations (2BR) at either BWV or VWL it's a mixed bag. Some weeks went up a little, some went down. The total weekly points only moved a couple of points in either direction.

I totally feel badly for those adversely affected by the change in point schedule. I have a hard time believing that Disney did this just to try to get people to add on points (the conspiracy theory) but on the other hand this is not the kind of situation and change that comes up quickly. So I don't see any excuse for the way they handled it with the lack of pre-announcement and the usual spin. Just totally unmagical.

All I can say is that I look forward to retiring in a few years so we can pick and choose our time to go to WDW and have more flexibility in our scheduling. Of course, DW and I were planning on downsizing to a 1BR for those trips with just the two of us.

Until then, we'll just go with the flow.

Retiring? What's that? It seems groupies that most of the country is having a snowy morning, so for a mid week pick me up....

 

[blossomz]

Schools are closed here so I have a day to get caught up with everything!

I just keep thinking about once through this winter..the school year should zip by and I'll be back home!!

 

[Dodie]

OT, but I have to post...

We got 12 inches of snow! 12 inches people! That doesn't happen in Indy very often.

The only one enjoying it appears to be my puppy, Greta. It's her first big snowfall and she loves it.

 

[horselover]

Somebody at DVC has been monitoring us and realizes how fanatical we are about our Lodge, so they up the points, and Whammo, con us into an add-on.

We gotta stick together yall and be strong for each other

I'm with you JT!

Nurses rock! I don't know how you all do what you do, but here's to you!

What a great pic! Your puppy is so cute!

That's my problem Muush,
I love other kids too, it the satanic duo that I gave birth to that makes me totally understand species that eat their young.

Eliza you are too funny!

Great choice!!! But you don't have to beg. Tell everyone it's your anniversary...really don't be shy. When you make your ADR let them know I would even call the resturant just before you leave and tell them what you're celebrating remember it this year's theme... I'm sure you'll get the window table an maybe even a little extra suprise. Call SSR just before you leave and tell them.. when you check in you will get a little packet with buttons.. wear them. Can you tell I've done this before... Last May was our 30th Anniversary everybody was so nice and we had alot of little suprises the best was when a cast member escorted us to the private viewing area for Illuminations. so Happy Anniversary... Hey maybe I'll be able to say that in person

Count me in for a May Groupie Meet

30 years of marriage! That deserves a round of applause! No round of applause smiley though.

Another snow day here even DH is home today. Is it May yet?

Love this picture!! So cute!!

OK, since we are showing snow pictures.....a rarity here in NC

And to prove I do like kiddos, my house also last week (nieces), building a birthday cake for their mom.

Oh my that is normal for us in the Great White North. It has been snowing here since last night and it is suppose to continue until about 7PM tonight!
I wish I was at Disney!!

Your nieces are very cute...are they triplets? If not they look very much alike and very close in age.

 

[KeepSwimmingDory]

Oh I love the snow pictures. All we got is ice and it is a mess. At least we have no school and DH works at home so we are safe. People here don't know how to drive on ice, so there are always so many wrecks.

Wish we had some snow to do this:

Stay warm!

 

[jjbescher]

Muushka,

Can you add April 2nd to my trip?

Also, where in NC are you?

[tea pot]

Snowing all day just starting to change over to rain..
I just love to take care of the local wild life!

 

[horselover]

Ok groupies I need lots of pixie dust & good wishes sent my way! Getting away without the kids always takes a great deal of planning & finagling on my part. A couple of days with one person, a couple of days with someone else. I've worked out Sat.-Tue, but I just called my over night sitter to see if she could do Tue-Thu. & she thinks she's already booked with another sitting job for that week. She wasn't 100% sure because she wasn't at home. She's going to check her calendar & get back to me tomorrow. If she can't do it I'll probably have to cancel the trip.

Pixie dust please!

Yes, but this is a state with the word 'Carolina' in it! Well, it is rare around this neck of the state.
The girls are twins 5,5 and their bigger (but physically smaller) sister who is 7. Cute, huh!

Muushka,

Can you add April 2nd to my trip?

Do you recognize the kids? They live in your neck of the woods. We are in Cary (I know C-A-R-Y )

Fingers crossed....dust on it's way.

Was it Maria with that recent Pixie dust graphic? That was too funny!

that is beautiful!

We also got hit by this storm.

Our school got cancelled by 8pm last night.. that never happens!

Now we're waiting to see if they cancel for tomorrow too.

We got about 2 inches of snow, with about 1" of ice, then more snow on top of it.

They were calling for up to 12" last night, so I guess we're lucky.

We only have 1 calamity day left on our calendar now. We used 2 from Hurricane Ike.. yes it hit us here in OH too!, and then 1 less than 2 weeks ago due to the cold.

It's days like this that make me appreciate our beloved VWL soooo much more!
