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

Any one know what the heck is "sustainable" fish?

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.

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

THAT'S IT !!! THE FISH IS FROM EPCOT !!! Last spring when We took the Behind the Seeds tour our guide stated that Disney has a large 'Sustainable Fish Source' here at Epcot and that many of the fish in these tanks are served in different resturants here at WDW.

It was a great article of Ranger Stan. We hope to spend time with him the first of May!

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.

Have a Great time... We just love to take friends for their First visit or those who haven't been in a long time... as My Oldest DD would yell
BRING ON THE MAGIC !!!!

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.

Hey thanks again to everyone who had the encouraging things to say to make me feel better about the mole situation. Fortunatly everything is okay and it's not melanoma.
Now I just need to get rid of the moles in my yard!!!!

 

[KeepSwimmingDory]

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.

Welcome! Hope your waitlist for VWL comes through! KAT4DISNEY gave you a great source of info. I can't think of a better source. Of course we are full of tips and tricks but you have to wade through a lot else to find them. Be sure and ask if you have any questions because the people here know their lodge.

Great news!

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

Good luck on your waitlist!!!!

Hope you have a wonderful trip and that you & Maria get to meet up. Thanks for posting that thread for Camping Cat.

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"

I heard just the other day what that means!!! It is a fish that can be sustained..in other words it is not endangered by fishing for it. How about that!

I have it baaaad! I am a special ed teacher and it is my time of the year to do reports times 20!!!!!! I can't stand it! All of the "regular" teachers are starting to count down to the end and I can't bear the thought because I have so much paperwork! Meanwhile..once it is all done I can start thinking of my vacation in earnest! I can't stand it!!!

OK, Maria & Dory, you are so great!

Happy (belated)Birthday DiznyDi! Hope you had a wonderful day!

Now 2 questions: Is there a Groupie Bday list?? Also, who is keeping the vacation list? Thanks

 

[DiznyDi]

Good Morning Corinne

Muushka is the keeper of the lists and our honorary Momma Moose. She is currently on the last day of her back-to-back cruise and should be back with us in the next day or two.

The lists can be found on page 1 of the thread.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! Thanks for the info, I probably should have known that! hehe

Muushka~Our next trip is August 22-28 BWV (we are waitlisted for BCV)
and my bday is June 6th! Thanks!

 

[Inkmahm]

Hey thanks again to everyone who had the encouraging things to say to make me feel better about the mole situation. Fortunatly everything is okay and it's not melanoma.
Now I just need to get rid of the moles in my yard!!!!

Glad to hear it!

 

[Inkmahm]

My Oct 22-27 trip just changed from BWV to BCV. We got the call from MS saying we couldn't have our boardwalk view studio as they would have scaffolding up over ALL of the boardwalk view rooms when we would be there in October. They moved us to BCV instead. I complained about paying the same number of points and losing my view so I got one weekend night of points returned to my account (had borrowed from 2010.)

While I'll miss the boardwalk view, I'm okay with it now that one of our 5 nights will be free points. I've never stayed at BCV (stormalong pool isn't a big draw for DH and me.) It's close to Epcot for Food and Wine so that's all I care about.

 

[KeepSwimmingDory]

Aww sorry to hear that Inkmahm. I am glad they did adjust your points. Hopefully that will ease the disappointment a little for you.

Muushka - We've missed you and hope you safely return to land and get back on your computer quickly with cruise stories!

Sorry to hear that you won't be able to stay where you wanted to stay, but a night's free stay isn't too bad.
