[DisneyNutzy]

Happy Saturday Groupies!

DLI - I hope you get good results. Let us know.

Two groupies have birthdays today! DisneyNutzy and tea pot hope you have a great day!

Happy birthdays!

Today is a good day- I got my Kidani reservations for next March.

Happy Birthday to our groupie pals!

Inkmahm..I've had a couple moles removed. 2 of mine were the least problematic type of cancer..all that needed to be done was their removal. I now go back every year to make sure there aren't more. It was scary till the results came back..but all is well and it wasn't a horrible thing. Hope your results are good!! Let us know!

DisneyNutzy and tea pot
Enjoy your special day!

DLI Moose Dust that all will turn out fine! I've also had a 'growth' not necessarily a mole removed from my thigh. Had the surgeon rather concerned and turned out to be absolutely nothing! I also know the waiting takes its tole. Stay strong and come here for support.

HAPPY BIRTHDAYS DISNEYNUTZY & TEAPOT!!!

Happy Birthday Disney Nutzy

Hey Groupies,

Thanks for all the birthday wishes and a belated happy birthday to you Teapot. Hope your day was as good as mine. Spent the day at the new home of the NY Mets and watched Santana pitch a gem! Mets won a pitchers duel 1-0 and the new "SHEA" (I refuse to call it Citi Field) is fantastic! Went to the new Yankee Stadium on Friday. It was nice but I wasn't as blown away by it as I was by the Mets new home.

For all the groupies heading "home" have a great trip!

 

[DiznyDi]

Ok I went back & checked the PM JT sent me. It said 5/5 at 8:15. We'll be there around 8:30 I think. We have 7:15 ressies at Ohana.

Many thanks for the clarification. I'd have been there on the 4th and wondered where everyone was! We'll be at the Grand Floridian for dinner on the 5th and will come as soon as we're done. Probably much on your time frame.

claire I can feel your excitement! Oh the anticipation!

 

[Dizny Dad]

DiznyDi says that I am also looking forward to the groupie meet on 5/5. (If I know what is good for me!)

Being slow witted, no not really, but not getting it all, I will accept all help It JUST occurred to me that I may be in a bit of a pickle. I'm currently waiting on my FROR submitted 4/1. There are 9 banked points from 2008 and am receiving all 75 in October. I won't close before 5/14 all things being good I think that I can't bank my 2009 points, it will be too late. Am I correct? If I am, how can I work this to my benefit? My DH and I will be going to the Poly for 5 days in May of 10. Is there any way to put my points to my stay in May? Any help would be awesome.

Actually it sounds like your ok with your contract.

Your 2009 points are valid for use from Oct 1, 2009-Sept 30, 2010 and don't need to be banked until 5/31/2010 if you aren't going to use them in the time period. The 2008 points that were already banked will be valid for the same dates now, but if you don't use them by 9/30/10 they will be lost. The banking deadline for an Oct UY is May 31 but it sounds like the current owner of the contract that you are buying from went ahead and banked the 2008 points earlier than the final deadline.

You don't need to use the points for your May stay but under a scenario that you actually wanted to you would need to borrow some of your 2009 points to use since your 2008 points are banked. Once borrowed points need to be used by the end of that UY or they are forfeited and in this case it would be 9/30/09.

Tea Pot & DisneyNutzy....April 18

Happy belated birthday to you Teapot and DisneyNutzy !!!

Hey groupies I had to get a suspicious mole removed from my arm on Wednesday. The doc said that it could take till next friday to find out the test results. I was just wondering if anyone has had this done and can tell me some positive things. I'm staying away from WebMD and sites like that. I only want positive! I have learned from the experience of others!

DLI....I think the majority of moles removed are benign. More and more doctors are checking and removing in order to be proactive. I am hopeful that yours will be just a routine check. Waiting is the hardest part.

Hang in there

JT Where are you?
Please confirm our Groupie meet. 4th or 5th?

Sorry, I have been away for a couple days.

The meet is on the 5th at 8:15pm at the Carolwood Pacific Room(formerly the Iron Spike Room)

We look forward to seeing everyone there!

 

[eliza61]

Thanks to everyone on the good wishes and words on the mole thing. The one thing that has had me worried is that I will have to have some more removed if it comes back as melanoma. I feel better after hearing from you guys though.
!

Hang in there DIL!!

Take loads of pictures JT. I'll be lifting a glass at 8:15 to toast the groupies.


Dreary, raining in the PA area today. So todays trivia is a nice bit of sunshine.


Blizzard Beach, Disney's 3rd wate park opened 4/10 1990. Blizzards Beach's speed slide, Summit Plummet is twice as high as Humunga Kowabunga at Typhoon Lagoon.
I'll have to take Disney's word on it because no way in heck am I ever getting on the thing.

Any one with water park pictures?

 

[Corinne]

Hi Groupies! I am enjoying a (now) rare Monday morning off and boy, does it make me happy to read this thread! Eliza, I do not have any water park photos but that slide at BB freaks me out whenever I see it!

I have not made it through all of the pages of this thread yet (will I ever?? ) but I was wondering if your son decided where he will be attending next year? Our older son is graduating from college in May and our younger is graduating from hs in June. He will be attending a postgraduate year before going on to college so we basically get to go through the school visits applications 2 years in a row....

 

[Anna114]

Kathy,
You're a peach! Thanks for all of the great info. That clears things up greatly!

 

[horselover]

Happy belated birthday to you Teapot and DisneyNutzy !!!

Maria

Wow! What a fabulous cake! Did that come from a local bakery?

Sorry, I have been away for a couple days.

Is that the room on the opposite side of the VWL lobby fireplace?

Hey Corinne,
Thanks for remembering. Yep, Rizzo the rat will be officially the State of West Virginia problem come September. He's going to Marshall University in Huntington WV (remember the movie "We are Marshall"?) My apologies now to the residents of boardering Ohio & Kentucky...
Rizzo has Aspergers Syndrome so it will be interesting how he will do away from home. Marshall has a great special ed program that will help him and it's a small city which will help.
He's excited to be leaving home on his home of course but come August you and the rest of the groupies will probably have to shoot me with a tranquilizer dart gun....

Oh honey, I can guarantee it! It is really hard to send them away! I will be a basket case without my son......I keep telling my husband we will need a puppy or another baby!! hahahhahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa J/K about the baby!

 

[tea pot]

Happy belated birthday to you Teapot and DisneyNutzy !!!

Maria

WOW Maria
Did you make that cake just for Me and Disney Nutzy ? Looks too good to eat... Thanks a bunch

 

[MiaSRN62]

I cannot take credit for the cake ! I should have clarified (sorry). Found that pic when doing a google search of disney cakes. I just really liked it. Looked like something out of Alice in Wonderland or something.......


eliza....I am so here for you and WITH you.....sending kids away to college is so hard. My dd who is at FL Tech was not liking it too much. She said it was too quiet and boring on campus. I tried to talk her into coming back to PA for school. Instead, she just got accepted to FSU for the fall (she's officially now a Nole girl !)........so my planning didn't work. I went to Penn State and was trying to convince her how much she'd like it. She wasn't having any of it......but any time you want to talk to or need to vent....we're here for you eliza

As for water park pics.....I really have to look around for them. I do have several, just not on the computer because we usually take them with a waterproof camera. So when I find them, I'll have to scan them in to my computer. Hopefully someone else has some handy. If not, I'll work on digging some up.

As for the Groupie meet....I'm with eliza on that one. I'll be raising my glass as well....mine will be held up high from Vero Beach (we should be checking in around 5 pm). Most likely the Green Cabin Room.....so know I"m with u all in spirit ! Please post pics everyone ! Another 3 days and I could have made it as I check into VWL on May 8. Have fun you guys !!!

It sure is, where the big comfy leather chairs are

Thanks Maria! I had a friend that went through skin cancer so I guess I am just kind of jumpy about it. I think her problem though was that she left it go too long. She is okay now though.

Thinking of staying at AKL instead of OKW in Sept. Love OKW but have never been at AKL so would like to try it.

Don't worry DiznyDad we promise to be on our best behavior! I'm actually a pretty shy, reserved person. I'm not always so good in a crowd (not that we'll be a crowd) of people I don't know. But I'm willing to overcome that for my groupie friends! Really looking forward to meeting you guys.

 

[blossomz]

Eliza--
Mine went to school in Fort Washington, PA..he comes home for half the week , but thinks this is also a dorm! YIKES!!

OK..all of us groupies still at home in front of our computers..what do you say we meet here online as the groupie takes place?
