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

[Disney loving Iowan]

Oh Muushka No! Get well soon!

The meet at VWL is scheduled for 8:15 or 8:30 on May 5th. I say we meet at the same time!

I plan to be there. Just hope I remember!

Take care of yourself. My husband has been sick since Easter and we ended up in the ER Sunday night. Friday we were told he had bronchitis. Sunday night we found out he had a collapsed lung. I'm sitting in his hospital room right now, hopefully he goes home tomorrow after they take the chest tube out.

I won't ever ignore a bad cough again.

p.s. I' m already over 50 and DH gets there in August! I told him I had a 50 year warranty on him so I want a husband with a new body now that his is falling apart. Ha.

Hope your husband gets better soon!

To all who are feeling bad, praying for getting better real soon.

We are at the Lodge, 1 bed, room 5523, lake view, dedicated

Going to say hey to Stan in a few.

I will try to post pics soon.

JT thanks for checking in. Hope you have a great time and say Hi to Stan from all of us.

I get home from work today and what does Sid the squid hand me? A note from the school administrator saying 2 Jrs are being treated for "flu like" systems and test are being sent to the CDC. Please watch your kids for any signs of distress. Long list of symptoms follow.

Knowing my 'freakin kid, he decided to share soda, lunch and bathroom breaks with each and every one of these kids.

I'm turning in my mothers badge if this kid gets sick.

Oh Eliza! Yikes. I hope he will be okay. This flu thing is getting crazy.

I'd give everyone moose dust but I can't get my smilies to work.

We loved that room! We had for our October 2008 trip!

Great view!

Have a great trip!

Started my single digit dance.

Joe

We had that same room on our May 2007 trip. We enjoyed it also.

Sorry I haven't posted lately, but I have been keeping up with all of ya'll. My allergies decided to give me a bad case of laryngitis. I could not talk for almost a week. My get well wishes to the others that have been sick. I totally relate!!!

Also a big welcome to the new ones that have been on lately.

Well, we are 22 days til our trip and what do I do. . . today I called my DVC guy and added points to be able to upgrade to a 1 bdrm on this trip. One minute I was OK with our plans and the next I said to DH what about adding on!!! He said whatever you want to do and the rest is history.

With the extra points my DD is trying to talk me into an extra trip before another year just the two of us. . . . Momma and daughter trip... we thought that sounds like a good idea.

For those that are leaving soon. . . have a good time and a safe trip!

Regarding whether the music is piped to the balconies.....

I don't think so. Didn't hear it when we were there this March. However....sitting on the balcony in the evening, it was astounding how loud the sound of the crickets was !!! We kept joking that Disney pipes the sound of the crickets in ! kept trying to find the sound pattern....

Oh I'm missing it already. We won't be staying there this fall or next spring ! Other votes than mine have the choice for the next two vacations...

 

[Granny]

Hi Groupies!

Sorry to hear about the various illnesses afflicting our group of friends and family. I hope for a speedy and full recovery to each of you!

And as for the music, I am certain that we have heard it sitting on our VWL balcony on our trips there. Maybe it's just piped in around the pool? Seems that my specific recollection is when we had quiet pool view rooms.

Best wishes to those at WDW and soon to be travelling there. At least we are finally in double digits in the countdown for our first stay at VWL since 2006!

 

[DiznyDi]

Good Friday Morning, Groupies!

I've just left the Member website where my countdown ticker said , 'Your vacation begins today!'

We aren't taking a laptop, so I'll have to catch-up upon our return.

Eliza for you that Sid stays well. We have plenty of Purell packed! Funny, when doing last minute shopping yesterday, 2 of the stores I frequently shop (Wal-Mart and a local discount store) were sold out of the large bottles of Purell. Enough small ones to fill a suitcase, but no large ones to refill my small bottles....

Thanks, Joe for the pics!

Maria I've got your number! IF we aren't able to make the connection, I'm going to leave something for you at the front desk. Please don't leave without it.

Bye, All!

WDW, Here We Come!

Hope everyone has a great week & I'll be checking in with trip reports & pics as time (or DH!) allows!

Mickey here we come!

 

[Inkmahm]

Have fun all of you!

DH is home and sleeping like a baby. The pain pills are the cause, I'm sure. That and not really getting enough rest in the hospital. He is doing very well though. Thanks for all the good wishes!

 

[Muushka]

Inkmahm, I am glad your husband is home and doing well. That is good news.

I am feeling much better also. My peak flow (for you asthmatics who do this) is up to 250, just 100 more points to go and I will be normal!

Hi Twokats good to see you! Congrats on the new addition!

I am with Granny on the music. I can remember sitting out on the balcony and being able to hear music also.

Eliza, I hope the kids remain healthy!

Have a great time all you Groupies who are home!!!

 

[jimmytammy]

Ooops I wish I could. Sorry, I meant our meet that we will have over the boards while you lucky dogs get to meet in person. So jealous of everyone down there!

 

[Disney loving Iowan]

Hey Loribell's birthday is in 2 days! Happy birthday!!!

 

[MiaSRN62]

Maria I've got your number! IF we aren't able to make the connection, I'm going to leave something for you at the front desk. Please don't leave without it.

That's sweet Di ! I will check. But let's keep positive ! We will find time to meet up ! Call me anytime ---we do not go to bed early. I'm a night owl ! I'm actually working graveyard shift at the hospital for a 6-8 week period. So I'm getting pretty accustomed to being awake between 6 pm to 6 am.

See you soon !

Maria

 

[MiaSRN62]

JT....glad u guys are enjoying your room !
I've stayed at the WL 3-4 times. But only stayed at the Villas twice. Both times I got ground floor. How's the view up top ? Are u on the lake side ?

Inkmahm...glad your dh is home and hope for his continued improvement.


Teapot...have fun at the BCV. I was hoping to get over to Beaches and Cream next week and probably looking at May 9 (but that's the day you leave).
Maria

 

[loribell]

Hey Loribell's birthday is in 2 days! Happy birthday!!!

Well how incredibly sweet. I have not been here in forever and you guys haven't forgot me. Classes are almost over for the semester and when they are I will be here a little more often. I will make sure I give a little TR on my cruise that I took in March like I promised I would. I will say this now; I am so glad it wasn't in the past couple of weeks!

Thanks so much for thinking about me.

 

[blossomz]

Happy Birthday Lori!

Eliza..keep washin those hands! Get the masks!! Batten down the hatches!

Groupies at WDW..love to Stan from me too..
