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

[Muushka]

What a nice time you all had last night! I love that you put the tables together. We were at a meet there once and we didn't think to do that (this was looooong before Groupie-dom)

That cake looked yum.....wish I had a piece....a really big one....

 

[KeepSwimmingDory]

Beautiful cake! Yummy! Happy anniversary horselover and Anniversary Guy.

Love the pictures. So glad you all could get together.

 

[cheer4bison]

Great pictures from last night's meet! Thanks for sharing.

I have to ask about that breakbasket cover. It is so cool. Is that cross-stitched? If so, DiznyDi, do you still have the pattern for it? Is that the logo that is on your shirt too? You sure are creative. Groupies are a special breed, aren't they?

 

[KAT4DISNEY]

Groupies - I also missed the online meet but it seems that everyone, both online at at the lodge had a great time! And that cake looks awesome!!!

Muushka - glad you stayed firmly planted on the ground!

JT Thanks for the 411 on the crowds.

10 day weather report shows it's going to be a hot one.

It has been nice to hear that the crowds haven't been a crazy as some of the predictions. When I made our ressies for May I knew it would be warmer but really didn't think it would be this hot. It's going to be very different from our last few trips which have been in Dec - Feb.

Agreed on all of this - very creative DiznyDi and I'd love to get the pattern also if you still have it!?!

AP - we've only eaten there once be really enjoyed the meal. I had the salmon which was almost as good as what we serve at our restaurant! JK - it was very good!

Ok - back to preparing for the trip. Hopefully I won't have to pull any late nighters to get it all together......but then again, why should this trip be any different!

Miserable day at work today. Its rainy and wet and what do I see in my email first thing. Announcement for 8:00 am meeting. Mandatory hours reductions. Oh joy. This would be right before I'm supposed to send a big ole check for Rizzo's tuition.

On the bright side I get to make ADR's today.

 

[Muushka]

I'm sorry Eliza, I hope the hours reduction is not too bad for you.

Speaking of hours reduction, my poor Mr Muush's has been reduced to zero.
Microsoft had a big round of layoffs on Tuesday and his site got cut big time. Out of 60 people, 9 will remain. We will still be at our meet in Dec, but probably going to go ahead and cancel that cruise on Solstice. Wah!

 

[Degli]

OMG!
If it ever stops raining here in Delaware! 40 days and 40 nights. Since day is the national day of prayer I think I know what to pray for. What I wouldn't do to see the sunshine again. Vero Beach looks so pretty. I'm jonesing for VWL. My 10yo dd always asks, "mommy, if you could live anywhere in WDW, where would it be"? I say, I think you know! We have to get back soon.

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 !

Sorry to hear about your hours being reduced. I hope that turns around soon.

Hey yall!!

We are headed to Le Cellier for lunch then to DTD to do Mothers Day shopping. Then to La Nouba, 1st time ever!!

BTW, Ranger Stan will be 82 on Sat. He has to work, so anyone that may be here, if you can say hello, he would love it.

Still having a great time, and hard to believe its almost over. Got Dec to look forward too though

 

[MiaSRN62]

Loved the pics from the Groupie Meet JT ! DiznyDi...the breadbasket covers were awesome !!!!! I missed the online meet as well due to flight and rental car delays. Got to VB 3 hours later than expected.

BTW, Ranger Stan will be 82 on Sat. He has to work, so anyone that may be here, if you can say hello, he would love it.

Thank you very much for the head's up JT !!!! I will be looking for him !


Degli....I know. Our area is getting so much rain and it's dry as a bone down here in FL ! They need it bad. This is the second worst drought they've ever experienced.

eliza and Muushka (dh). So very sorry about the jobs. This has got to be so hard. Dh and I always think how this could happen to anyone and at any time. My thoughts will be with you guys. Hope something changes for the better soon.

We are headed to Le Cellier for lunch then to DTD to do Mothers Day shopping. Then to La Nouba, 1st time ever!!

Have fun JT !!!!!


One more night at VB.....we check out tommorrow. Head to Melbourne to get dd completely moved out and we have to clean her apartment for college inspection. Then we leave for VWL !

Kathy have a great trip!!!

KAT4DISNEY - Happy packing!

Kathy have a great trip!!!

Thanks Dory and DLI! Can you believe I have nothing in the suitcases yet! But I have until 4:45 am when we have to leave for the airport.

 

[blossomz]

Hey Kat...get packin'!

 

[KeepSwimmingDory]

Thanks Dory and DLI! Can you believe I have nothing in the suitcases yet! But I have until 4:45 am when we have to leave for the airport.

Oh I see--you are a last minute packer. Well you better get busy because it's almost the last minute! I tend to start a pile a few weeks early, then start suitcases a few days before. Most of it however gets stuck in the night before so I understand!

We leave in 12 days 13 hours 18 minutes so I better get that first pile started!

JT--thanks for the news about Ranger Stan's birthday. Give him a big happy birthday from the groupies who aren't there.

 

[jimmytammy]

Last post before heading home.

Loved La Nouba!! It was wonderful.

Ran into DiznyDi and Dad Wed night. We really enjoyed meeting them and horselover and DH. Looking forward to meeting even more groupies in Dec.

Ranger Stan seemed hip to coming to our meet in Dec as honorary guest. If he is still working, he liked idea of getting together over lunch hour, usually at 1. But he very well may not be here then. SO if thats the case, we can plan a time for the meet, see if it works for him, then go from there. I do think he would prefer daytime, since he lives about 45 mins away, driving at night might not suit him.

For those that are dealing with weather related stuff, stay safe.

See yall when we get home.

 

[cheer4bison]

Thanks for sharing the details of your trip, JT! Sorry that it is over so quickly. I'm sure you are too.

Have a safe journey home.

We're packed here at the WD family house, 'cept for some phone chargers and stuff!

Got a virus this past Wednesday; got the doc to prescribe a Z pack just in case. Feeling better today. Will take the Z pack with me to WDW.

I'm ready to rumbbbbbbble in the jungle! Am climbing the walls here at work. Got that kid feeling again, like I always do when I enter the MK. It's close! We'll be flying down this Sunday!
