[wildernessDad]

Happy birthday DiznyDi!!!!!

Okay so another change in plans thanks to DH always changing things. But it is a great change! We will now be staying in a 1BR in Kadani!!!!
I think the 1BR we had at BWV spoiled him! My aunt who is going with us is down there right now. She called mr from the SciFi last night and was very excited about where we will be staying.
Blossomz - I'll look into the safari.
Thanks everone for the advice!

I hope you enjoy your stay in Kidani.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DIZNYDI!!!

 

[tea pot]

DiznyDi is having a double number birthday on Thursday; just missed celebrating it at "The Lodge".

Please wish her a wonderful Birthday. She is really fun, a wonderful mom, and the joy of my life.

No, I didn't get her any more points; but the discussion (as usual) is beginning to roll.

Dinzy Dad ... so Sweet.....

Happy Bithday Dizny Di

Heads up for my friends coming to the groupie meet on 5/5.

I just ordered the surprise anniversary cake for DH. I had to order a 10" cake to get the custom cake I wanted. A 10" cake serves 16! Even if we eat it every day for breakfast there's no way we'll be able to finish it. So, unless I forget (it's a possibility!) I will be bringing the rest to our groupie meet to share. It's a chocolate cake with amaretto mousse filling, white buttercream, topped with some fresh strawberries. Save room for dessert! I guess that means I'll have to resist the caramel bread pudding at Ohana. Not sure that's going to happen. I may have to have 2 desserts that night!

Happy Anniversary Horselover.. How nice of you to share it with us...

Trivia Question

True or false, "Mickey Mouse" is married to "Minnie Mouse." Note the quotes.

Did we ever get the answer to this?

Dory Thank you for your card! You certainly have a creative talent. Wouldn't you love to cut into that cake?

...But then several of us Groupies get the pleasure of sharing horselovers surprise Anniversary cake! It sounds delicious! Wish you could all join us.

JT for securing the necessary supplies!

Maria and Tea Pot,You always find the cutest graphics!

JT, horselover and tea pot Are we getting excited? 6 Days and counting...

Oh I am drooling!

Happy Birthday DiznyDI!!!

DLI, I love AKV, so am probably a bit biased - but I think you will like it. I love having my morning coffee and watching the giraffes walk by.

Claire

I can't wait to see stuff like that. We are so excited!

I hope you enjoy your stay in Kidani.

You will have to let me know how you like it there!


TP, Maria and Dory - great graphics on the birthday cards!!!!

Since we are chatting about the other lodge, I have a goofy question (do I ever have any other kind?).

I'm checking out the menus of the new restuarant that is located in the Kidani building, Sanna on allears.net and they have some thing called "sustainable" fish.

Any one know what the heck is "sustainable" fish? Reminds me of those little
pellets George Jetson used to eat on the cartoon "the jetsons"

We'll be at Jambo House in 16 days! We're doing concierge. I wanted to book a 2-br at Kidani, but DW and her BF won out.

DW and I be going with one of my daughters, my son, and friends. She has never been to WDW and the last time her husband was at WDW, Epcot did not exist.

Suffering from major Pre Vacation Syndrome (PVS)!
Pre Vacation Syndrome (PVS)= Is the condition where you have a meltdown trying to get all of your projects at work completed before you go on vacation.
T-16 days and counting till we visit BCV!
I find it very hard to focus on work these days with visions of SAB swimming in my head.
Can’t wait to dine at Yachtsman’s Steakhouse and going to try the Kitchen Sink at Beaches and Cream this trip too. Are we there yet!
Focus, focus.

Never fight the PVS Joe, it only makes the symptoms worse. The only cure is to look at pictures and menus and count the days.

Have a fabulous weekend every one.

DODIE!!!

Thanks for the link to the article about Ranger Stan. How wonderful!

Eliza - That doesn't sound very appetizing, does it? I didn't know that term but found this definition:

Q: What is 'sustainable' seafood?

A: In simple terms, a particular seafood is sustainable if it comes from a fishery with practices that can be maintained indefinitely without reducing the target species' ability to maintain its population and without adversely impacting on other species within the ecosystem by removing their food source, accidentally killing them, or damaging their physical environment.

Kind of odd to have that term on the menu. Made me think hmmm it won't taste that great but will sustain me until the next meal. Like you can live off it but it doesn't taste very good.

I wonder if they charge more for "sustainable" seafood? You know, like "free roaming chickens" , etc. I don't mind eating the "catch of the day" if its cheaper!

We have a trip planned for the end of May/beginning of June. It was kind of a last minute trip and the only reservation I could get for a studio was at SS, but we're on the waitlist for WLV (which I am SO hoping comes through). As this will be our first time (hopefully) staying at WLV, I was wondering if there might be a listing of WLV tips and tricks like I've seen for SS? I would love to get some info on the ins and outs of staying at WVL. Thanks.

Great Article. Thanks for sharing Dodie. I would have missed that one.

Hey Maria - saw that you'll miss the other meet at Kidani too! I was bummed we'll miss the Groupie meet on the 5th but at least I should be able to get to the other. We arrive on the 8th and it would be fun it we could bump into each other and at least say hi! I really want to try and make a stop at VWL just to see "home".

I wonder if they charge more for "sustainable" seafood? You know, like "free roaming chickens" , etc. I don't mind eating the "catch of the day" if its cheaper!

Of course "catch of the day" may have been caught at the big fish farm tanks and ponds!


We're 14 days and counting to AKV concierge followed by VB!!!

Have you looked at this thread? WL resort thread. It has lots of info about WL and VWL.

Good luck on your waitlist!!!!
