I found the last villian. Chernabog is the big winged villian from fantasia. He's also at fantasmic.

Additional trivia: Wingman above, is considered one of the "scariest" villians according to the American film institute. His job was to raise all the other "bad" guys from cemeteries. He also was responsible for turning restless souls into demons. Man, I wonder if you get hazard pay for that?

 

[Dizny Dad]

It is not surprising that Chernabog is not well know. When DW first got into pin trading, she was on a quest for Chernabog. almost all CMs had no idea what she was asking for when she mentioned looking for Chernbog.

And the questy for the five legged goat went on for a long time. I took her to it on our last trip to the World. she was thrilled.

Hum, now let's see, what is it this time that is driving her . . . . .

That is the black and red light guy in Spectromagic as well, right?

Kat4Disney - Absolutely beautiful & so many! I can barely afford the one!

Thanks everyone for the nice comments about my boys!

All I can say horselover is don't ever buy a place you can keep your own ponies - they seem to multiply rapidly then!!!! When I was boarding it was one only, then DH wanted to ride. At that point it was less expensive to move! We do not have any human variety children so the furry ones get the $$$$'s. Thankfully 2.5 go barefoot so the farrier isn't too much worse but the vet - ! Oh well, I've decided I'm addicted to horses, puppies and Disney - it could be worse things.

That is the black and red light guy in Spectromagic as well, right?

That's the guy....

one of my favorite villains!

Hi everyone. Just checking in and letting you all know I've been away for a week in Tallahassee for an intensive FSU orientation and apartment finding mission for my daughter who will be attending in the fall.

Kathy...your horses are beautiful. Loved that you told us a little about each of them.

BWV Dreamin.....then WL train garden is awesome ! Do you cover it up in inclement weather ? I can see lots of hard work has gone into it.

And phelpsie !!!

Kathy: your horses are really beautiful. My DD would be so envious.

BWV Dreamin: the WL train garden is so awesome! I wish I could just keep my flowerbeds neat.

I have not forgotten the pics or the report. Life has been really crazy since my vacation. I hope to get my info out soon. The cruise was great and I want to go on another one. . . . soon!!!

 

[Granny]

Hi guys!

I woke up yesterday and saw that it was July 1 and suddenly realized that I would be heading to WDW next Saturday! For some reason, when it was still June, the trip seemed kind of far away but all of a sudden it's coming up fast!

We are looking forward to staying at VWL for the first time since 2006 and hope to see Stan. I'll have to go back in this thread to get his work schedule. I've never taken the tour of the Lodge so I plan on doing that as well.

And to throw in some easy trivia for the group, what are the formal names of the following places at WL? Accurate spelling is required to get full credit!

Signature Restaurant

Rollicking Restaurant next to lobby

Counter/self-service snack shop

Full service bar

Pool side bar

Bike/boat rental place

Lobby gift shop

Child care place


Enjoy!!

Hooray

Let's see, I remember the child care center is called the Cubs Den. Sid & Rizzo went often and love it.

Is the gift shop the "Lodge Mercantile"? I'm going on memory here and whispering Canyons is the Rollicking restaurant in the main lobby. Had a great breakfast there our first stay.


hey Granny,
Do you guys do the water parks? this will be our first official summer trip and while it's still pretty warm in September we've never hit the water parks. We're thinking about checking them out this year.

 

[eliza61]

So how did I do & what do I win?

I am sooo clueless horselover,
I read your post and then proceeded to try and answer the question.

You are the official "mooseketeer" for the weekend.

Very good...you even spelled it correctly. I see "Pointe" a lot.

So how did I do & what do I win?

Well, you got them all correct, so you win my everlasting admiration. And of course you are the official Mooseketeer for this holiday weekend. In fact, you're the Grand Poohbah (or is that Pooh Bear) Mooseketeer!

hey Granny,

We've done the water parks a couple of times. My daughters now prefer to lay out by the pool instead of the waterpark slides, but I will say they really enjoyed Blizzard Beach especially. If you go, get there early as the park fills to capacity by mid-morning and the lines are very long!

We went to River Country years ago and really enjoyed that. Sad that isn't an option any more.

My 6 yr old son and I will be staying at VWL August 23- 28th, can I join the groupies? I am very excited about staying at VWL! :cloud9
Michele

Hi Michele~
You will find this to be the nicest group here on the DISboards!

We will be at the World the same time as you, but we are not staying at the VWL. Maybe we will see you!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Muushka]

Busy busy busy boards, as usual!

Great list Granny, and good work to the official Mouskateer Grand Poobah!

Eliza, we enjoy the water parks, but Typhoon Lagoon is our favorite (sorry Granny ). We love the Lazy River, wave pool and gushin' geyser.

We had a most awful day yesterday. Before you read the whole mess, everything is fine now, but......

I have 2 cats. One is diabetic and one is feral (wild). Loretta is the (literally) sweet one and Lucy is the wild one.

The day before yesterday, I didn't give Loretta her second shot until later than usual. I don't give it to her unless I know she will eat and she didn't get hungry till around 10 that night. Then yesterday we had to get up early, so she had her shot early. When we got home yesterday afternoon, I noticed that Loretta was acting strangely. I had seen her like this one other time and eating made it go away, I figured she was low on her sugar.
So I fed her. She proceeded to walk around the house howling and behaving strangely. (Our vet is a house call vet, so we could not just 'bring her in'). I waited a little to see if she would calm down.

I let my wild Lucy in the house. Loretta got herself wedged behind the TV console and started screaming. Which was bad enough. I went over to move the TV and I guess Lucy thought I was causing Loretta to scream and she proceeded to attack my right leg. Not mildly I might add. I screamed for Mr Muush to get downstairs and help me. By the time he came down, Lucy had run through the pet door. Loretta was still screaming and Chuck was able to get her out. My leg has about 20 areas of scratches and bites.

I was in the process of reading on the internet what to give a cat with low blood sugar when all this happened. So we put her in the bathroom and shot some maple syrup into her mouth with a pipette from work. She panted and rested for about 2 hours and was fine. Lucy was a little afraid of me, but snapped out of it.

If you read this far, you are very bored.

Have a great vacation Granny!

Yikes Muushka! Is your leg okay? I have heard that cat bites aren't a good thing. Please take care! Glad your cat is okay though!
