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

[BWV Dreamin]

That sounds great! Is that on the resort property, or just nearby?

No its close by, down US1.

LOVE the salmon and the cobbler!! Yum!

Speaking of cobbler, do you think those groupies down at the lodge have cut into the cake yet?

 

[eliza61]

Gotta run guys, God forbid I sit for an entire 15 minutes without Heckel and Jyckel going crazy. **sighs**

Warm lodge thoughts tonight.

Guess we'll hear from the rest of our buddies tomorrow! Let's do a stop the rain dance in the meantime! Night all! THis was fun!

 

[Muushka]

I'm late! I missed the meet!!!

We had some wild weather this evening with a tornado touching down about 2 miles from here!!

I hope everyone had fun and where is my huge piece of cake??

I think I'm too late, but tomorrow Eliza you can read that we love Artist Point. The mushroom soup is heavenly (and I didn't think I liked mushrooms). Have enjoyed the free range chicken, cedar planked salmon, the succotash and other side dishes were also good. Never had anything we didn't like. DH had the buffalo. It has been our favorite date night restaurant at WDW when we decide to risk leaving our sons alone (so far they haven't killed each other while we were out). We have eaten there even when we have stayed at FW, OKW, but don't do it every trip.

Hope the cake was good!

Welcome disney0210! We enjoy the walk between Wilderness Lodge and Fort Wilderness and then looking around over at the Fort for a while before heading back. If you are into pin trading there is a book at the pin trading cart where you can trade up to 2 pins per day if the pin you are trading is not found on that page. Don't forget to see the geyser out by the pool that erupts on the hour every hour during the day and into the evening. We too love taking the boat to MK and there is also a boat that goes to the Contemporary. We like to ride over and shop/window shop and ride back. There are surrey bikes you can rent which we haven't done but would like to sometime.

Oh Muushka! How scary. We didn't get any weather yet, but I took too long at Home Depot.

You posted while I was composing my post. So we are late together!

Hi all...
Had some flight and car rental delays today !
We were supposed to get to Vero Beach about 5 pm at the latest. Instead....we rolled in around 8 pm. Got into our room....unpacked and headed to Shutters for dinner. It's beautiful here....we're in room 2315 (3rd floor OVIR). My view is of the pool and ocean. Just chillin' right now as we are so tired from a day of travel delays.....and a big dinner. They're showing Ratatouille right now at the pool and we can watch it from our balcony.


PS : I've never eaten at AP either, but would love to try it one day.
Maria

Hi Maria! So happy you made it safely and sorry for your delays. I hope you have a super relaxing time! Sounds like a wonderful view and cool to be able to see the movie from your balcony!

 

[KeepSwimmingDory]

Oh and twokats - I hope you got to go to Sam Moon. I haven't been to that one in a while because they built one up in Frisco. Love it when I get the chance to go. Glad the weather cooperated for you today.

 

[twokats]

Dory,
It was close. . . the doctor appointment was almost 2 hours, Mom was so tired, but she was game to still go shopping. Believe it or not the traffic on 635 was very light for the time. We only had time to go to Rebekah Fashion, but that is my favorite shop. We found several pieces. I spent way too much as usual, but it was a successful trip. Lot of traffic on 635 heading back to 30, but was able to get in the HOV and saved a lot of time.

DD and I are going to go to Rockwall tomorrow to shop for her trip to camp where she works for the summer. Hope the weather is nice. I was amazed we did not get caught in any rain this afternoon.



Hope the ones at WDW are having a blast.

Hi Dory !
It is very relaxing here....lovin' it for a few days.....

Dory....considering your DIS name....you'd appreciate the new shower curtains here at VB :

Another vote for loving Artist Point. I'm allergic to mushrooms but DH has that mushroom soup every time we eat at AP. I always have the cedar planked salmon with cobbler for dessert. I also had one of the best salads I'd ever had in my life at our last meal at AP. It had a champagne vinegrette dressing and candied nuts (walmuts?) and I ate every last bite. That's rare for me.

Good morning all! You were a chatty group last night! The groupie meet was a big success. It was so nice to meet Jimmy, Tammy & their lovely children & also DiznyDi & DiznyDad. Sorry you couldn't make it Teapot! Jimmy has promised to post some pics. I will post pics of the cake when I'm home on Friday. My DH has been officially dubbed AnniversaryGuy so if I can ever get him online that will be his screen name.

Just one more full day here today. We've been debating what to do today. We have ressies for lunch at Le Cellier at 12:30 & had planned to finally catch Off Kilter later in the day, but it's supposed to be a scorcher today so we may go to Blizzard Beach instead. Oh what a tough spot to be in! I have a feeling we'll probably stick with our original plans. One last nice meal before we go since we have no dinner ressies tonight. For those that have asked about the crowds we have found them to be light to moderate. We did MK Sunday night just before EEMH so it was hard to really judge, but we didn't wait more than 5 min. for anything. Lines at Epcot Sunday during the day were 30 min. standby for Test Track & 50 min. for Soarin'. Typhoon Lagoon seemed less crowded also. The only long line was for the family raft ride. We finally discovered the Crush & Gusher on this trip. What a fun ride! Except at the end when I kept falling out of the float as soon as I hit the pool.

Have a great day all.

 

[KeepSwimmingDory]

Thanks for the update horselover. Hope you convince AnniversaryGuy to get on the DIS. Wish we could have been there!

Maria - Thanks for the picture of the shower curtain! I love it! Also for the other VB pictures. We'll get there some day.

Dizny Dad - Hope you have a great birthday tomorrow!

And that you and DiznyDi are having an awesome vacation.

Everyone at WDW keep cool and drink lots of water. Those at home just dream with me....There's no place like home....there's no place like home....

Maria - Thanks for the picture of the shower curtain! I love it! Also for the other VB pictures. We'll get there some day.

Glad u enjoyed them Dory !! Beautiful here today. I think we're supposed to hit like 84 ? Nice breeze off the ocean.....headin' to the beach.


Horeslover ! Glad the meet went well ! Wish I could have made it. I am going to try and meet up with DiznyDi and dianeschlicht on Friday at AKL/AKV.

Have fun today whatever you decide. And yes...Crush and Gusher is awesome ! I think Pineapple Plunger is the best
PS : love Off Kilter !

Missed the online meet last night!!! It was nice out and we went for a really really long walk and didn't get back in time. Glad everyone had a nice chat though.

Welcome Disney0210!

Maria looks like quite the view you have there!
