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

[DiznyDi]

Good Sunday afternoon, Groupies!
DH is out of town on business and DD is spending time with her fiance, so it's just me and the dog. All of these quips from The Princess Bride has me thinking that I just may want to watch it this afternoon.

...I know something you do not know...I am not left-handed...

Boy, a celebrity in our midst: Eliza that is a really nice paint job. When you said you were in research, I pictured a white lab coat with an eye to the microscope looking for wee beasties!

DLI Thanks for posting your special birthday pics. The looks yummy! How special that you could celebrate your day at the Happiest Place on Earth!

mickeymorse DH, Dillon on the Dis, will be spending his birthday at the Lodge this year.

Muushka, this is quite an undertaking; the trip list AND the birthday list. You can add mine for April 23.

DH just got a new car. We're considering vanity plates. Anybody have any ideas they'd like to share?

What a great day today to be booking a trip home. My DW and I decided this week that we were going to do a couple only trip and run the half marathon ( kids are not happy with us ). It took 2 hrs to get through and 22 minutes on hold until getting Lily from MS to help us. We are now going to be Home again on Jan 8th til the 12th. I'd like to know who's bright idea it was to open reservations for BLT and THV the same time as 11 month window for marathon weekend. Hopefully, this is as bad as it gets.

We will be staying AKL from January 7 to the 17. So far I have 8 of the nights booked. I am running the Goofy challenge. I am so looking forward to this trip!!
We have not received our closing documents on our VWL contract so we could not stay there.


Hey Muushka...you can add me to the list. July 6 my birthday.

Thanks for the reminders about booking for marathon weekend. I completely forgot that the new booking system allows for booking from the CHECK IN date!

Glad to be back here, but still missing the lodge from our trip for the half marathon.

My birthday is Nov. 10, and I might get to go to WDW for it!

AHHHHHH!!!!!!!


So excited, so excited, so excited!!! I know this is not VWL related, forgive me because I love our Lodge, but just checked the member site & my waitlist for a 1 BR at BWV for our anniversary trip came through! We have a pool view. So we'll be at SSR for Sat. night in a studio & then switch to BWV for Sun-Thu. My faith in the waitlist system has been restored! This is my 3rd try & 1st time it's come through. Oh man I don't know how I'm going to continue to keep this from DH for another month until I present it to him for his b-day gift. Good thing I have my groupies to share the good news with.


Ok here's one more from The Princess Bride.

No more rhyming now I mean it! Anybody want a peanut?

April 18 B-Day

Muushka Looks Like DN and I Share the same Birthday Please put me dow for April 18 Thanks for this great idea and for taking such good care of us groupies

We just got back from the wedding. I must admit it was so beautiful and the weather was perfect. Our friends Derreck (the groom) and George went up last weekend to build an archway where the ceremony took place and an igloo. It was so nice being outside. The ceremony was out on the lake. Once it was done we all went for sleigh rides and skating. Then we had a snowball fight. The kids (the big ones too )loved that!! At the dinner the cake toper was an igloo. It was really nice. The bride (Siobhan) looked like princess. It just suited them perfectly. They very much enjoy the outdoors and go camping all year round. It turned out to be wonderfull day.

WOW That sounds like so much fun Pixie Dust to the Bride and Groom

Hi everyone!!

Glad everyone has had a good weekend.

Add another January birthday to the list. Mine is Jan 25.

Ordered my AP's yesterday, so that makes my trip seem closer. I will be able to start thinking about meal planning in another month or so.

Right now I am about to order tickets to take my DD to Disney on Ice next month at the American Airlines Center in Dallas. She is so looking forward to that!!!

Good evening Groupies!

Just thought I would share that we had a real Momma moose right outside our back fence today. I've heard there is a baby moose around somewhere but havne't seen it yet. I've lived here for over 10 years and this is our first moose.

Good thing I already have a trip to VWL planned for December or I would think that it is a sign!

Thanks Di. Actually you're pretty much on track with the white coat. I got pulled on this project because I was the only one who knew how to work the equipment and the coffee machine.

Monday Morning Trivia:

The Disney Institute opened February 9, 1996. Inspired by the Chautauqua Institution in Jamestown, NY, it was described as a "discovery resort". The institue closed 2/11/2002 to make way for Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort.

I'm showing my age but wasn't Jamestown the home town of Lucy Mcgillacutty (Lucy Ricardo)?

I'll now return to reality.

Wow, a real live moose.

I figured out we have mice in the garage. Don't tell Mickey, but they are slowly being eliminated.....I would rather have a Moose in the yard.

Hi all!

August 31st here!

 

[MaryJ]

Hi everyone!!



Add another January birthday to the list. Mine is Jan 25.

January 25 is DH's birthday as well. He doesn't post on the DIS though.

MaryJ: Tell him happy belated and welcome to my day!!
I always told my DH that it was an easy date to remember. . . exactly one month after Christmas! Plus the birthstone (to me) is absolutely georgeous - the garnet. The only one better is my DH's April which is a diamond. He had a family ring designed for me and it is so pretty with that big diamond and garnet side by side and then all the kids smaller stones. I love it!!

Hope everyone is is having a good start to the week. We are having a line of fronts which is finally giving us some much needed rain. Thankfully the temps are in the 70's, so we don't have freezing worries.

Thank You! My only regret is that Aladdin didn't sing happy birthday to me! We were in DL 3 years ago for DD'S b-day and she got sung to by Aladdin and Mulan.

AHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Hi groupies!

I have a question for all of you. Who is the guru of rental car codes? We will be renting a car for our trip to Vero and SSR in July and I can't remember where I found the excellent American Express/Dollar rental car code that turned out to be a great deal last time we were in the world. Is there any place that you groupies regularly look for super rental car deals?

PS. Muushka, my birthday is February 14th . Would you add me to the groupies birthday list, please?

 

[wildernessDad]

My birthday was February 4. I got a present, one year older.
