Happy Belated Birthday, Granny!

Muushka, will be thinking about you and Mr. Muush! Have a great back-to-back cruise! We'll miss you!

blossomz Thinking about you, too. Being back to work will help. Time helps to ease the pain of losing a loved one.

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this question, but since I can't find the answer, I though I'd ask the WLV experts. Is there a bus to get to MK or do you have to take the boat? I just made reservations today and was lucky enough to get WLV for November! I can't wait! This resort looks amazing! However, MS told me the boat is a bit of a walk and I wasn't going to bring a stroller for DS, just rent one as needed in the parks. Also, is it easy to get to the Polynesian for the Spirit of Aloha? TIA!

It is a longer walk then for the bus but it is a nice walk and the nice boat ride is worth it. The lodge is amazing! Congrats on your upcoming trip. Hope you have a great time and if you have any other questions this is the place to ask! Welcome!

Oh...and I don't think I gave you my birthday. It's April 12.

Happy belated birthday! Hope you had a great one!

We were at VWL this past March and the buses were running regularly. The buses are generally quicker than the boats and the bus stop is closer to the villas. However, the walk to the boat dock is not really that far. You cut through the back, walking past the quiet pool, over the bridges by the geyser and then out to the dock. If you take this way it is much closer than heading back to the lobby.

Have a great stay. we really love VWL!!!

HAPPY (belated) BIRTHDAY GRANNY!!!!
I hope it was a good one!

Have a wonderful trip Muushka! I don't envy you that drive to Miami. Why oh why won't our DHs hop on a plane???!!! We will have to get together for lunch when you get back to catch up.

Yeah, we need to get those boys on a plane! Lunch would be great, we can do Raleigh the next time!

I see you got all sorts of answers, but I just wanted to say hi and welcome. And after your trip to VWL (or before even!) you feel the need to grab a Moosie for your siggy, we would be pleased as punch to have you on board!

Thank you all for the well wishes. I'll miss you!

Oh man the FROR is brutal. After seeing people last month get it so fast boo, I say! I probably have another 2 weeks.

I am sad to tell you that my mom lost her very long and difficult battle with alzheimers disease on Sunday.

Dear blossomz - we are just catching up on the boards and saw your post. So very very sorry for your loss. We like to believe that we are united with those that we have dearly loved once we cross over - never to be apart again. ''Perhaps they are not stars in the sky, but rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy.''

While I'm new here, I just want you to know, you're not alone. My Dad passed on Jan. 21 of this year and my mother is currently receiving hospice care. She should live but a couple of months.

Anna - may you and your family find strength and support from friends and family during these very difficult times.

Future birthdays...I won't be here.....

Darn--- we missed her!!! Sending her anyway for a great trip!

Granny - HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!!

Eliza - how DO you avoid Piranha if accidentally thrown overboard? (Sid watching a lot of National Geographic channel? Too )

Hi my fellow groupies!

Just popping in to say Hi and . Still overwhelmed, but loving, with my WISH thread.

All the best to all of you!

Muushka - you're off? Enjoy.

 

[horselover]

DisneyDi - any update on your upcoming trip? Hope your son is going to be able to come home & you'll be able to make the groupie meet.

I know there are others beside JT, Di, & me that will be there during the same period. Anyone else coming to the meet on 5/5?

 

[blossomz]

Thanks Happydinks!

Muushka have a wonderful and safe trip!

I made my cruise reservations..we are in for the dolphin encounter and castaway cay stingray encounter. I am on the fence about missing something for dinner at Palo. DCL told me that the 2nd night is dress up night and will be in the same restaurant as the 3rd night, which is the pirate party. But I saw that if it is animator's we'll miss the light show. So I'm thinking of hanging on to the ressie and canceling if I find out we'd miss it. I can cancel and still be OK up to 6 hours prior I think...so I should be OK!

Thanks everyone!

We have heard nothing from our son! I thought we would hear from him on Easter...no calls, no emails, no nothing!

April 16th was his anticipated date of arrival. I'm operating on the assumption that we will indeed be making the trip. So much to lose if we don't.....

Worst case: my daughter and I make the trip while DH stays home to welcome our son. If we find that he's not coming home until after the 8th of May, my Mom will be making the trip with us.

My Mickey on my desktop is showing 15 days... (Thanks again, Joe!)
Looking forward to meeting all of you!
Di

 

[Granny]

Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes. One year closer to retirement!

Di...best wishes that things work out with your son. I'm sure it's a very challenging situation on several levels. Throwing some Moose Dust your way that all ends up fine for you and your family.

 

[Granny]

blossomz...sorry I'm slow to catch up with the thread. My prayers and best wishes for you and your family at this time.

 

[MiaSRN62]

So sorry I missed your birthday Granny ! I want to wish you a very happy belated one and hope it was a great day for you !

Thanks everyone!

Hey blossomz- When we did the cruise (in October - and it was our first DCL) - we thought the BEST dinner was at Palo. It is lovely, quiet, and just all round a beautiful evening. We had ressie before the Pirates Party - and were done in time to change clothes and get to the party before it started (we had no idea that they served a HUGE buffet at the party - and were way too full to even look at the tables!). We did not miss any of the restaurants based on the rotation.

 

[KeepSwimmingDory]

It's almost weekend! I need to catch up.

DLI - I hope they post your park hours soon. It is annoying to get them so late now if you are trying to make ADRs. We do some advanced planning especially since the dining plan has made it harder to get a table most places.

Claire - Hope the driving has not driven you crazy yet. Meet me at the comfy chairs in the Carolwood Pacific Room if you need to relax.
Hang on Friday is almost here!

nmmom95 - Welcome! It sounds like you got great info. I will add that my boys have always loved the boat so much that we never use a bus to MK from the lodge or FW. They consider it their first attraction so it is just the beginning of our adventure to walk to the boat. If I were in a hurry at VWL I might consider jumping on the MK bus, but I'd take the boat at least once for the experience. I agree with Goofy's apprentice about taking the walk back behind VWL instead of going through the lobby. It is a beautiful walk back by the pool & geyser.

Muushka - I missed you but you'll read this eventually. Hope your trip is the best ever!

Granny - Belated birthday wishes!

Lisaviolet - Glad to "see" you.

horselover - I wish I could come to the meet! We will be there in spirit and hope y'all have a great time!

Blossomz - Glad you are back to work and . It is not an easy time I'm sure.

DiznyDi - I am sorry you didn't hear from your son yet and so hope for you that the timing all works out. Moose dust, pixiedust, prayers, fingers/toes crossed for you!

Anna114 - hope the time passes quickly and that it doesn't take a whole 2 weeks.

Everyone have a good day!
