POP CENTURY ... LAST WEEK of SEPT. 07 MEET

[DisneyDeeva]

I think our ressie is for 9/22 - 10/5. I won't be joining Shirley until 9/25 though.

For next year, I vote we go together and form a Grand Gathering. We would only have to be there one day in common. And then, we could qualify for special events like the Safari Celebration or the International Illuminations Dinner

[Sandy321]

we didnt bounce back... I just didnt think the new dining plan is all that great, and I think they did offer some great incentives last year (40% a room only code)

who knows? I'd like to go later into Oct and try a different Party for the senses...

[SlightlyGoofy]

We did not sign up for the bounceback either. The heat and rain was just too much for us. Saving money at the expense of having a good time (the POP Parties were the high point) is just not worth it. I am thinking maybe a return in the Spring when it is still cool enough for me to breathe. I can easily eat a lot less, spend a lot less and be a whole lot happier! :thumbsup2

[keliblue]

Morning Gals,

I didn't book the bounce back either but will probably tag along with BONZI & JanJan (Glow Party 2006ers) next September. As for the days, have no clue at the moment but we most likely will go end of Sept, first of Oct so we can get our GLOW on at the F&W too ;) Or.. first of Sept so we can use our AP's:confused: To soon to tell :rotfl:

[heath-and-javens-mom]

well kelli- we really need to know!!! Were tryin to be able to meet up with up you all again:lmao: come on sista get it together! Time to start planning!!!!!:goodvibes

[keliblue]

well kelli- we really need to know!!! Were tryin to be able to meet up with up you all again:lmao: come on sista get it together! Time to start planning!!!!!:goodvibes

That's what I love about you Farrah:hug: , your a pushy Biotch :rotfl: and I wouldn't miss seeing you again for the world :goodvibes Let me see if I can nail the girls down and give you gals some firm dates. We can at least try to overlap a few days :dance3: So what should we call this party ?? GLOWING AGAIN 2008

[heath-and-javens-mom]

YES..You are right, the pushyiest biotch you'll ever met!!:lmao:
No Really, Dane just gave me the go ahead for next Sept, I think we are gonna have to go the first week tho due to Heaths ISTEP test at school, he cant miss that and it starts on SEPT 15th! Im just excited that Dane said "LETS DO IT"!! WOOOOT!

[angwill]

I will be at Pop 8/30-9/8 due to my son's schooling as well. It is just much easier to go when the kids are just setting in to school and don't have much homework coming home than when we did in September which was just as they were really getting into the swing of things and getting lots of homework and big projects. I am in for a meet the beginning of September. Farah, or anyone else if you need help organizing a beginning of September party let me know.

[SlightlyGoofy]

It is starting to look as if I will HAVE to go in September too just to keep you kids in line. Someone has to watch out for you. Trouble lurks AND I know just where to find it! I have much more experience and then when we find it I can sit back, look innocent in my dotage, and blame it all on YOU!! :angel:

Slightly Goofy

[Tanya90210]

ok so it looks like we'll be doing 8-30 to 9-13... give or take a few days... what about you kelli..... I vote for Glowing again.... or GLOW: Part II ... The bounceback .... haha

[keliblue]

I love that !! GLOW II, the sequel :rotfl:

Well Girls, It looks like Sept 4-14 (give or take a day) might be the dates we are shooting for... which really works for people booked the first week & Second week. We can have the meet on the first weekend in Sept (5,6,or 7th)

:banana: pardon my bananna dance.... :banana:

So are you gonna organize keli?

[thunderbird1]

I'll keep thinking. Not that I have any say, since I didn't actually make it to the party. We did run into several of you all around the parks, though--SlightlyGoofy, Utahmama and aksunshine (:hug:), among others. We're booked for POFQ for 9/6-9/20, so if I can't make it over for the party, I'll be looking for you in the parks--I know you'll be the ones having too much fun!:woohoo:

[SlightlyGoofy]

thunderbird1, you just go ahead and jump right in. Not having a right to say something never stopped me and it surely should not stop YOU! :rotfl: It was so nice to meet you on the trip. Hope it was one of my 'good' days as a few times when I met people I was having trouble knowing exactly where and who I was. Not that does not happen frequently any old way. :)

Tanya90210, whom are you suggesting should 'organize Kelli"? Also, why would anyone want to do so. She is such a delightful disorganized combination and why wreck perfection? :thumbsup2

keliblue, I have never been able to keep my children and grandchildren in line and why I would want to keep all of you in line? You are far too entertaining as it is. You all might have to watch out for the seasoned 'troublemaker', me, though.:scared1:

Just another one of the GLOWworms, SG

[keliblue]

I love it!!!! GLOW II :)

:banana: pardon my bananna dance.... :banana:

I am going to pass on the planning this time so whomever wants to take the reigns, please do so.. with my blessing and help. My plans are to "Up in the air yet" :rolleyes1

Love, love, love the names you've come up with :rotfl: And of course you have a say in everything we do.. we love you :grouphug: . And it doesn't matter where your staying (i was at VWL last year.. SHHHHHHH) just as long as you make it to the party this time :hug:

Linda, I sure hope we can get together for a Hot Cocoa and a hug in December :santa: I know Bonz is looking forward to seeing you again :dance3:

[SlightlyGoofy]

Kelli, you are a wise woman to know truth, even about yourself, when you hear it. (ducking for cover):rotfl:

How did you know that I love hot cocoa almost as much as hugs? I think I shall go get one right now, hot cocoa that is.

I hope Pooh and can come and bring her feller as he entertained my dh on the first meet and gave me a chance to visit. I have to tell the truth and admit that I threatened Tom to pieces and he behaved pretty darned well. Usually he refuses to let me talk. (He does not like the sound of a woman's voice) :scared1: Now, you know why I am so verbose.

Have to also admit to a bit of chicanery in that I told Tom, before leaving on the September trip, that the Dream Team only gives prizes to folks who look happy and not grouchy. I got several 'dreams' he did not get a one. :woohoo: I share nicely though.

I have spent some of this morning checking out cheap food options for the December trip so, for today, it is back on. Day by day. Life is so darned changeable. Wish I were. :confused:

[Tanya90210]

No way.... I like Kelli just the way she is.... :hug:

I guess as soon as we figure out a name I'll start a new thread next years.... :goodvibes

Another vote for Kelli to remain the same. No room for improvement there. Never tamper with perfection. :thumbsup2

You are young, there is a chance you will improve though. :love:

I, too, changed resorts for next year's bounce back to POFQ. Booked for 9/12- 9/20 so far. Can I still GLOW with you all?!?!?

Of course :) :grouphug:

[Foxfiregrrl]

You guys are all making me jealous with your talk of the bounceback!! We didn't book and had said that this would be our last trip for awhile, probably until we had kids to bring along :scared:

DH & I both keep saying how much we want to go back though :cloud9: So, maybe just maybe we'll get back w/in the next two years.

I was a touch disappointed with the crowd levels while we were there though. I know I shouldn't complain because it was still WAY better than the more crowded times. It's just that when we were there in Sept 05 there were NO lines and this time there were a lot more lines than I had bargained for.

I'm not sure when we will make it back, but I was considering that a Jan or Feb trip in 09 may work better for us? :confused3 I hear it is not too crowded then, and Sept is a hard month for us because we have a big convention the first weekend every year. Have any of you guys gone in late Jan/ early Feb before? I know we wouldn't get the free dining, but maybe there would be some other deal that would help a little?

[DisneyDeeva]

I went the first week of February this time for my birthday. It was fabulous!! Weather was comfortable and the crowds were non-existant. However, I have heard that the weather can be iffy that time of year. One year cold, the next not. I'm going again for my birthday in 2008 so I guess I'll find out.

[bonzarella]

That's my girl:thumbsup2 Linda, miss you. No time to chat anymore:sad2: See you in six weeks:thumbsup2

Happy Halloween you to you KEL!! And all other DISers aswell! Im off to get us dressed in our pirate outfits!! TTYL:goodvibes

:banana: :banana: Happy Halloween!!!:banana: :banana:

[SlightlyGoofy]

I live between two churches and was a long time 4-H leader as well as volunteer in the schools so I pretty much know most of the kids in this town and it seems as if they ALL to come to my house for Halloween. I have a huge laundry basket full of Little Debbies, gum, etc. as well as a huge platter of homemade peanut butter cookies (adults only) so I think I am ready. The back door is unlocked so that my grandkids and friends can come over when they get bored giving out treats at their church.

It is warm enough that I can sit on the front porch and not have to deal with opening and closing the door and heat loss so I am happy and looking forward to all the little devils, I mean angels arriving shortly. :woohoo:

May all your tricks be treats tonight and always!!

Slightly Goofy

[ericm078]

Being in Chicago it was not the warmest night, but the best was one house I took my daughter to they had thier firepit going in the driveway, the guys were sitting there having a beer and the wives were handing out the candy!

[BabyPiglet]

Hey everybody!

Has anybody started planning a new meet for next year or is it a bit too early? Lol.

Hope everyone has had a good November so far!

[SlightlyGoofy]

BabyPiglet, it is one of my biggest regrets that I did not get to meet you in person in September.

We are headed back in a couple of weeks and possibly next Spring, June or Sept, or if we go totally crazy, all three.

[pooch]

haven't been on the computer in weeks it seems. In a hiring frenzy at work (Macys) for the holidays and rehearsing "Messiah" with the Hartford Symphony. Now I have to make a little pit stop at the hospital next week. Kidney stone the size of Gibralter!!! So I'll be off most of next week and hope to catch up here then.

Love you all,

Gail

[Maria395712]

pooch
good luck with the kidney stone .i got one out last nov 2906. they said it was bigger than a golf ball. it took 5 hours of lazer surgery . it was suppose to be about 2 hours and go home that day but spent 3 nights in thomas jefferson hospital in philly, a good hospital in this area. i was then in pain for 4 weeks couldn't drive anywhere for about 4 weeks and sick for those 4 weeks couldn't tolarate any painkillers. let us know how you do better than me I hope have a nice thanksgiving

I'm with you girls, although mine was small compared to Maria's :eek: Gail you take care sweetie :hug: And DRINK LOT'S OF WATER !!! It is the only way to prevent the dreaded kidney stone.. worst pain ever !!

[SlightlyGoofy]

Ouch ladies! All that pain and no baby to show for it afterward???

pooch, I hope they get you fixed up soon. Is that the procedure where they sit you in a hot tub and use sonic rays to break it up?

Maria395712 , that sort of experience sort of sticks with one does it not? If you have one kidney stone are you apt to have more? I hope not. I had gallbladder problems and do not think mine were as bad as many and I was screaming with pain. I am not much of a wimp either.

keliblue, I am a big drinker (water) so that must be why I have not had that particular affliction. I have bad lungs and have never smoked. Figure I am going to get cirrhosis of the liver next cause I do not drink alcohol. I try to be grateful for the fact that I have not, yet, developed anything that I deserve though. :laughing:

Hello and welcome to the boards.. This thread is actually from a September meet we had in 07 but I would check the dis meets forum, there is always some group getting togther:grouphug:

Have a wonderful trip:hippie:

[SlightlyGoofy]

keliblue, congratulations!!! I always sort of wanted a set of twins. I am crazy for kids, they just tickle me to pieces. You will discover that grandkids are a much improved version of children. The parents are responsible for feeding, clothing and all that mundane stuff and you get to do the fun stuff. Also, if and when you get tired of them you can send them home. My sil once asked me why his boys were so good for me and not for him. I told him my secret was that if they did not obey I would take them home to him and they did not want to go! :lmao: Last night my oldest grandson called and had me log onto the same web page he was on so we could look together. He just lives up the road. You will make such a wonderful grandma. Exactly what every child wants, someone who can give guided tours of Disney World!! When are they due??

BTW, you make me smile too. :)

They zapped me yesterday and it went quickly and easily. I've been getting stones since I was 14 so been there, done that, bought the program!! But it's been about 30 years since the last one. Home passing gravel now. Love peeing into a strainer!!!

Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!!! Thanks for all the good wishes.

Love

Gail

PS Congrats Kelli!!!

Hope you are all doing great & hope 2008 is treating you well!

yes we are heading back the last week of september for the bounce back promotion . we will stay there for a week and then heading on the disney cruise for 3 days. are you going back again in september

[SlightlyGoofy]

imadisneynut, it is unlikely that we will be making any trips this year at all. Mostly cause I am not feeling too well. If a miracle occurs and they get me figured out and fixed up one never knows. :thumbsup2

Have you been on a Disney cruise before? I am not sure which I like better the cruise before or after WDW. I am sure you will have a lot of fun either way!:banana:
