Has Reunion Station opened yet? Was just wondering what is actually in there.

Happy Anniversary @sechem32 & @wfc4life!!!

Happy Birthday @stopher1!!!

Jimmy - how's MIL doing?

Corinne - thinking of you & your family.

I needed to do something to take my mind off all the bad currently happening right now so I customized my MB for my F&W trip. Seems so trivial but I feel helpless at the moment & it's a temporary distraction.

Before & after.

I don't know if anyone on this thread has checked into that yet. The only thing I remember is what @sleepydog25 posted here: [URL="https://www.disboards.com/threads/vwl-groupies-lovers-thread-special-collectors%C2%92-edition-updated-1-aug-17.3242976/page-541#post-57915905"]VWL Groupies & Lovers Thread (Special Collectors’ Edition), updated 1 Aug 17[/URL]

Julie...you do a great job theming the magic bands! Looks like you are getting in the right frame of mind for a F&W trip!

That's great Julie! I don't have the eye/hand coordination anymore to do anything like that.

Happy Birthday Stopher1

Corinne....I am very behind in the DISboards. But just read about your brother. I am so so sorry. I can only imagine how painful it must be to see him suffering. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. God bless!

Jimmytammy....also saying prayers for your MIL that each days sees her health improved.

 

[Granny]

Hi Maria! Wonderful to "see" you, and hope all is well in your world.

It's been well over 24 hours since an update from a Groupie. We simply can't have that. To keep this topic related--more or less--hope all those planning trips this holiday season and next year are sprinkled with liberal amounts of Moose Meanwhile, if you've not done so, check out our sister thread, the Official Copper Creek Villas & Cabins Owners & Lovers Group. mrsap has done a lovely job!

Just hanging around impatiently counting down the days until my trip. 15 to go.

Have a good weekend groupie friends!

I am too far from a trip, December 1, to get too excited about it. I've been sitting with a foot up for 4 weeks, two days, now with 2 weeks, three days to go. Sometimes the toes feel like they are being sliced with glass, sometimes it's a dull pain, but much of the time, I do not notice anything. I've read 7 books and watched about 10 movies, including all the Harry Potters.

I read the CC thread, and it seems very friendly and well done. I am excited to have a stay there largely because it's actually in the WL, and of course our first stay will be in a cabin.

Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. A young (27 years old) cousin was at the concert, and is safe, but his mom mentioned there's some survivors guilt. His name is Matthew.

Campfire question:

When the campfire was at the old beach location, they had wooden roasting sticks and Kraft jet-puffed marshmallows for FREE.

Do they still at the new location ? Is there a charge ?

We can't do the "s'mores" packages (which some resorts have, like FW, and which there is a charge for) due to allergies, but can do the Kraft marshmallows.

Trying to figure out of we need to bring our own bag of marshmallows or not.

Star, I can't say if they have any marshmallows for free, I know they had stopped giving them out over a decade or more back at the FW campfires. We always bring our own just in case anyway. $1 for a bag, tossed in the top of the carry on also doubles for keeping hungry stomachs at bay while we fly.

I'm wondering if the campfire is a gas fire now.

Star - I can't answer your question about WL but I can say when I stayed at BLT in Dec. the marshmallows were free & they were also free at BWV in May. I'd try your question on the WL info thread in the main resorts forum.
