Wild Women's Weekend~April 23-27, 2009!

[PolynesianPixie]

CottontailCurl and I have been dreaming and scheming about having a "Girl's weekend" at the Fort. I thought I'd put out some feelers and see who is interested in joining in on the fun! Of course, this is just in the early planning stages, we are thinking spring 2009. We would make it as cost effective as possible, maybe working out some carpooling and creative meal planning to cut down on expenses.

What do you think?

[ntsammy5]

I want to hang with all the BABES!

[tungpo1]

I'm in:thumbsup2

[mrsgus06]

Just what I need, another excuse to go to Florida!:rotfl2: :rotfl2:
If we did not have 6 kids, my husband would divorce me!:lmao:
I want in!:banana:

[clkelley]

I'm probably in, since that will be my "on" time with an Annual Pass.

If we can get a combination of folks with campers and tent campers. I'd be happy to let a tent camper or two share a site with me to keep costs down.

I'm thinking a minimum of 4 nights to pull the camper that far though.

[drafthorsecrazy]

Camping? or Cabins? Its a long drive for me to get to FW. Theres no way I'd want to pull the camper that far by myself. If I tried to back it into a site, I would end up clearing the whole loops of trees!!!!!:rotfl:
I do like the idea of a womens only meet.

[clkelley]

If anybody wants to fly in, (or doesn't have stuff) I've got a 13x13 L-Shaped tent, two 9x9 dome tents, a 6x6 dome tent, 4 EZ-Ups, a Wal-Mart 11x9 rainfly, a Port-a-Potty tent, air mattresses, chairs, linens, the works. I'd be happy to toss all that in the truck.

[terri01p]

My dh would kill me if I went on a vacation to WDW without him, but something about that does sound great..hehe...:rotfl:

Now we would just have to visit Beaches and Cream to get a kitchen sink and we would be set!:scared1:

[auntie]

Hmmm....sounds like something I'd be interested in. Of course..I will have to lie to the family as to where I am and what I'm doing. Heck....it's not like I haven't done THAT before!:rotfl:

[stacktester]

I just want to see all that whatever you all call that female stuff together at one time. Estrogen, is that right? Gatordad, Rog and I may do a drive by. God help you all.

[Shannone1]

We will probably be down there visiting my MIL the week after Easter that year, so if you do it then I could come over and hang out for a day with you. We live to far away to come any other time. It would be 2200 miles roundtrip.

[PolynesianPixie]

Yay! I'm excited already!!!!

Shannone, sorry to steal your pole~ I mean poll, for a minute. The weekend after Easter is all the same to me, so if it works for the rest of everybody we can plan for that!

:woohoo:

I'm impressed that 3 guys already said they'd dress in drag to hang out with us!

[bigdisneydaddy]

Oh boy that sounds like fun. Angie can I stay with you and the girls ?


Mrs.Disneydaddy... :lmao:

[OK GRUMPY]

It sounds good to me! It's an 8 hr drive for me, I could share a site:thumbsup2 I have a 5ver & tent. Hopefully by then I will be able to back it up:lmao: :lmao: .
Sounds Like Fun!
Cindy~

[clkelley]

I mentioned this to a coworker, and she wants to come with me. She'll be in a tent on my site. The dates sound good to me. So I'm assuming we need full hookup. Do we need a pet loop?? Do we need preferred?? (I usually stay in partial, so I'm deferring to the folks in the bigger rigs.)

[mrsgus06]

Oh boy that sounds like fun. Angie can I stay with you and the girls ?


Mrs.Disneydaddy... :lmao:

Well, YOU KNOW YOU CAN! I say ditch the boys and come on down! I also say ditch the camper and stay in a cabin!:woohoo:

[bigdisneydaddy]

Well, YOU KNOW YOU CAN! I say ditch the boys and come on down! I also say ditch the camper and stay in a cabin!:woohoo:

I knew I shouldnt have given her my password.
Mr Bigdisneydaddy

[juligrl]

My dh would kill me if I went on a vacation to WDW without him, but something about that does sound great..hehe...:rotfl:

Same here, but I'd be willing to risk it. He has said he does not want to camp at Disney - I have and I do want to again so I could see a good excuse for a girls only trip.:thumbsup2

[mamaloya]

I am game. It depends on timing though. dh should be back from Iraq in Feb 09. After he gets back we intend to spend 30 days heading west and back. If it is late spring, I can probably make it. I now have a small tent and basic gear. Not sure if I would fly or drive our smaller car (which we plan to buy when he gets back). Don't think I would bring the camper that far for just me. I have no prob sleeping in a tent. Maybe we can get the 1500 and 1600 loop if some are in tents and some in TTs. They are right next to each other. I think the full hookup loops won't hold more than one tent if we want to share a site with more than one tent. Just thinking out loud, not hijacking the trip.

Wow, that would be really cool if I could make it. dh promised me almost 5 years ago that when the youngest was weaned I could get away on my own for a nice trip. She was weaned 3.5 years ago. I have yet to take that trip. Now, after being a single mom for 15 months, I think I deserve it.

The kids might be upset, but we would just be getting back from DL and I could promise to book our next trip while I am gone. Ok, now I am getting excited. I can totally fit all of my gear that I would need in one suitcase and my clothes in another.

Can I change my vote to "when do I start packing?". I can really see this working. Airfare would not be much. We have several friends here to help dh with the kiddos.

Trying to thing of something witty to the fellas, but I am drawing a blank. Exhausted from packing, I leave in the morning. I will get back with ya'll on that one.

[stacktester]

Gentlemen, I think there is definately an uprising here. This could be worse than the Peacock and Otter problem ever thought of being. Can you just imagine the craziness this is going to cause. My worse fear is they're going to get Miss Sundee involved in the whole mess and end up forming some sort of traveling band cult type thing. God help us all and enjoy the fort before this event takes place because it might just not be there the next time you plan a trip. Oh and speaking of the Otter thing. I plan on trapping them next trip and haul every single one of them over to Sea World and feed them to Shamu. That'll solve the otter posts for good.

[Camping Cat]

I'm probably in, since that will be my "on" time with an Annual Pass.

Same here! This next year without an AP is going to be hard to get through, but come 2009, I'll be more than ready for multiple trips! :banana:
Its a long drive for me to get to FW. Theres no way I'd want to pull the camper that far by myself. If I tried to back it into a site, I would end up clearing the whole loops of trees!!!!!:rotfl:
I do like the idea of a womens only meet.
I'm with you there. I'm a towing wimp so my husband does all the driving when we tow. I'm his co-pilot and his backing-in coach. I'd never attempt a trip to FW by myself.
My dh would kill me if I went on a vacation to WDW without him, but something about that does sound great..hehe...:rotfl:

There was a time when my husband would have let me go by myself but not since he was bitten by the Disney Bug. Now, it's not even an option. So, if I come, he would be coming with me to WDW, but not to any of the girl's only meets. We would be staying in one of the DVC resorts and I would be hanging out at FW with all of you. This really does sound like fun!

[CottontailCurl]

CottontailCurl and I have been dreaming and scheming about having a "Girl's weekend" at the Fort. What do you think?

I'm already packing! I'll most likely be coming in by train.

If anybody wants to fly in, (or doesn't have stuff) I've got a 13x13 L-Shaped tent, two 9x9 dome tents, a 6x6 dome tent, 4 EZ-Ups, a Wal-Mart 11x9 rainfly, a Port-a-Potty tent, air mattresses, chairs, linens, the works. I'd be happy to toss all that in the truck.

Wow!! I love that you'd do that. I'm all for sharing sites, too.

Camping? or Cabins?

If anyone's interested in staying in a cabin, the 2100 (cabin) loop is beside the 2000 (partial) loop, Mamaloya's 1500 and 1600 loops are a good combo too. The 2000 loop, might be better for the amount of space and less chance a Wild Women's Wrestling event won't disturb other campers. Although the lack of shrubbery and trees might be a privacy problem, I guess I'll have to go to Michael's and buy some fake trees.

[mrsgus06]

[QUOTE=stacktester;22863928]My worse fear is they're going to get Miss Sundee involved in the whole mess and end up forming some sort of traveling band cult type thing.

I knew there was a reason Ms. Sundee is on my speed dial! We could have a private concert! We can close down a loop and pretend we are all camping in Prevosts!:lmao:

That's the ticket Jan!! Let the guys do the towin' and the backing in and toss them all in the DVC Villa, then we'll all party at Ft.W!!! (I am just funnin'):rolleyes1

I can tow, but I haven't mastered backing up yet, but then I can just disconnect and push mine in.

[BigDaddyRog]

Ya'll need to stop all this....whatare ya'll gonna do when....(ummmm).....a big disney bear comes and.....(uuuhhh)......rips a hole in your tents????? Yeah, ya know that could happen!!! Ya'll cant just run off without the men!!!!.....Who's gonna........(hmmmmm).........protect you from those wild armadillos?? Those things can get viscious, ya know!!! Who's gonna............well,..........who's gonna do all the cooking and cleaning when ya'll are gone? Dont leave us, please.....We cant handle the whole house and all the kids with ya'll off rompin around the forrest. Whos' gonna wash the mens clothes??? Who's gonna get the kids ready for school???...This will be the demise and downfall of civilization as we know it. Im scared.

[ftwildernessguy]

I would be more than happy to come and open up my campsite as a Kungaloosh bar. What could be better - me surrounded by some lovely ladies enjoying a Kungaloosh or two.

[seabee]

This sounds like so much fun! We were just talking about getting APs, but I didn't know if we would be able to use them enough to get our money's worth. Now I have the perfect reason!!! I may not be able to come alone, but I would definately ship the fam off to something while I meet up with the DisWomen!!http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/15/15_9_27.gif

[PolynesianPixie]

Well, YOU KNOW YOU CAN! I say ditch the boys and come on down! I also say ditch the camper and stay in a cabin!:woohoo:

The cabins sleep, what? 7? So even putting 5 in a cabin (with 2008 prices) it would be about $60 a night. If we get in touch with our "sleep over" days and get real cozy it would be even less!

Just thinking out loud, not hijacking the trip.


Please! At this point, we are brain storming. Any and all ideas are welcome!!!
It is a "women's weekend" after all. We don't have any alpha issues like the men do!:lmao:

Be afraid. Be very afraid! Good thing MrsGus has Miss Sundee on speed dial. MuuHaHaHa!

Is the 1100 a full, partial, or what? It is close to both the 2100 & 2000. Fake Trees?! You crack me up!:rotfl:

So, can we expect Mrs BDR?

The ladies may need to take a vote on this; but if a man is there to provide a service, he may be permitted in the premises. :laughing:

Is it true that APs are good one year from the date of first use? It isn't just a 2008 thing?

The weekend after Easter is April 17-19. Maybe we can plan a Thursday-Sunday? That would be April 16-19, 2009.

What do you think?:woohoo:

[drafthorsecrazy]

Anyone check availability yet for that time frame? Being so close to Easter could it be book up already?

[PolynesianPixie]

WDW hasn't opened up the 2009 calendar yet. I'll keep a check on it and let everyone know when to start booking!:thumbsup2

[awswilson2007]

OK.......so I know I live the closest........and my hubby would be glad to be rid of me again......and it's not the first girls' weekend away I've done at the fort......I know there;s one more person that would be interested.....I'll bring the blenders and coolers.....beer....alcohol.....sounds like fun too me.....I think we should all book cabins, split the costs.....anyhow, as long as it's not under my name....I think I've been blacklisted at the front desk......lol......:cheer2:

[drafthorsecrazy]

I've had Feb. 09 booked for months now----I'm sure April can be booked now.( by phone, not online)

[PolynesianPixie]

I've had Feb. 09 booked for months now----I'm sure April can be booked now.( by phone, not online)

Oooooh! Well, if that weekend sounds good (I'll wait a day to hear from everyone), I'll call and get things rolling!

Thanks!

Blacklisted?! My goodness~what did you do?:laughing:

[Us3]

We're already planning to come again next April because it's our family spring break tradition. I'll be there with the family...but would love to come hang with the ladies for while! :thumbsup2

[terri01p]

You can book your reservations now they just can't lock in your price yet...see my counter :banana:

[Camping Cat]

Maybe, to be safe, we should aim for the last weekend in April?

[mrsgus06]

Blacklisted?! My goodness~what did you do?:laughing:

I was there! It was a bad, bad thing!:lmao: Let's just say that Addie would not get a warm, welcomed "howdy" from a few of the front desk staff!:rotfl2: :rotfl2: Let's just also assume that the reservation will have to be under my name.

Also, we need to follow up on Florida residents and annual passholder's discount. What we need is a pin number but I go so often they would never offer me a pin!:rotfl:

One more thing to add for Mrs. Bigdisneydaddy: Patti, you can stay with me, but you have to fly into Charleston and take the "big ride" down with me!:laughing:

This sounds like mischief. Thank God I have no significant other to participate in all this hoopla. I feel for all the men who have wives and what not that are going. I just no they'll never be the same when they return.

You are probably right. My DW would not go with out me. Which is fine because I wouldnt go without her. WDW would not be the same with out the DW. But you have a kid so you still have some one to share it with.:thumbsup2

I know. Unless someone actually asked a question about FW, everything else on this board is just joking around which is what I like about it.:)

Those pics might be to wild for this board :lmao:

[clkelley]

AAA always seems to be the best deal for me for Ft. Wilderness. AP always seems to be a bit higher than AAA rate.

We need to get Rhonda on this, get us a Grand Gathering # going and figure out the best way to book it.

I know I'll be booking 1 site with a minimum of 2 adults, 1 camper (sleeps only 1), 1 tent. (Although, I know of two others that might join). I normally book partial, but a normal full hookup would work also.

Maybe listing what type of rig, how many it sleeps (if you are offering/have the extra space), and whether you could host a tent or two on your site.

Also, those that would prefer to share a cabin need to list that. (Even though they sleep 6, only 4 unrelated adults would be comfortable. (1 on the double bed, 1 on each bunk, 1 on the murphy)

What do you think?:woohoo:


Yes they are good for 365 days from when you first use them. We had done it last year and actually ended up saving $200. I just wasn't sure if we would get more than one trip in this time. But if there ever was a good reason, it is this!http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/23_28_125.gifApril sounds good. I will be dying for a trip by then.

[seabee]

Oh I'm just totally joking with the gals. There's some pretty fine ladies going to this. I hope they post a group pic while they're there.


I say we hit Colson's Corner and Burl's Porch, just to show our fort pride!

[Shannone1]

Easter 2009 is Sunday, April 12th. So we will probably be there April 11th-
19th. If you all are going to be doing your girls weekend during that time, I would love to come by and spend an afternoon/evening with you. But please don't plan it around me since I can't commit to it at this time. We have an 8 week trip out west planned that summer and we will have just spent 2 weeks at the Fort in Dec/Jan '09. I would LOVE to go back around Easter and can probably convince my DH to go since his mom will be living down there by then. BUT it will be my luck she ends up moving to Miami, rofl !! :sad2:

If I don't see you for your girls weekend....I am REALLY hoping to meet up with some of you (guys too) during our stay next Christmas. :banana:

[BigDaddyRog]

Has there been an official date set yet? I just checked the school calendar and I will be there with my family Friday April 3rd thru Saturday April 11th. If you guys are there during this time, I'd love to come hang with the ladies for a while!:)

[PolynesianPixie]

This is fantastic!!! So far we have 16 ladies interested, plus a few friends! From here, I think we should offer up dates, I'll take the top 5 or so and do another poll so we can vote and get this nailed down! :woohoo:

My choice of dates would be anything after the Easter crowds clear out. Shannone mentioned that Easter will be on April 12th in 2009. So I suggest either the weekend of the 18th or the 25th. Anything to avoid the Easter crush! When does the Flower and Garden Festival starts? Anyone interested in doing the F&GF? That might help determine our dates.

[ntsammy5]

Gentlemen...they are completely ingoring our childishness!!!!!!! They havent replied to a single post made by a male on this thread!!!

They're not even acknowledging our existence! That's terrible! :confused3

[Camping Cat]

I just checked Deb's site and found out that the F&GF runs March 19-June 1. Wow! That's the earliest it's ever begun. So, it will definitely be going on during the time frame we are considering.

That's 2008 Jan. Who knows about 2009, but I would imagine it will start by mid April for sure.

That sounds like a plan. If we do it on the 18th would that give the folks who are going there for Easter a chance to plan for a week from Easter weekend on to the next week so they can take part too? I bet the weather is so nice at that time!

That would work well for me too. It would fall right around when my kids would be on break and I wouldn't have to pull them out of school again, since we are going in Oct. 08. I don't think the school would go for a second trip in the same school year.

To the guys- I acknowledged you-I suggested nice spots for the group photos Stacktester requested. I wouldn't let you all feel left out, I understand your needs. (Easy Rog):rotfl:

[Gillian]

Ladies, that sounds like fun! Did someone say there'd be a pole there? I'm not sure so sure about that part.

My mom & I are planning a 3 generation girls cruise for May 2009, but I might be able to sneak down to FL in April if it isn't too much $$.

I have camping stuff.

[PolynesianPixie]

So, it sounds like the April 18th weekend is the favorite! I'll get with Rhonda and see what we need to do to book it!!!!!!!:banana:

Did someone say there'd be a pole there? :rotfl2: My mom & I are planning a 3 generation girls cruise for May 2009, but I might be able to sneak down to FL in April if it isn't too much $$. I have camping stuff.

I hope you'll be able to!

I just want to see all that whatever you all call that female stuff together at one time. Estrogen, is that right? Gatordad, Rog and I may do a drive by. God help you all.

true dat. but i'm in to gawk as well.

[PolynesianPixie]

Allright! I have been in touch with Rhonda and she is getting things rolling for us :goodvibes She is quoting April 17-20, 2009. If this is a problem~speak now or forever hold your peace!
She will get us a GG # and then all who will come need to fill out a little form for her. Hopefully Rhonda can join us too!

The next thing we have to do is think of a suitable name for our Grand Gathering. I called this Wild Women's Weekend in the beginning because it just came as I started the thread. It may not be a keeper. So, if any of you are feeling creative and inspired, I'd love to hear what you all can come up with! :cool1:

So is that 3 nights or 4 nights?? Arriving Friday and checking out Monday, or arriving Friday and checking out Tuesday??

Thanks!!

That's Checking in Thursday-Sunday.

[PolynesianPixie]

Ah, heck. I just checked. I meant 16-19. I'll check with Rhonda and see what I told her. 16-19 is thursday-sunday.:headache:

[Gatordad]

what night will you be drinking kungaloosh and running thru the woods scantily clad? Rog and I will be there.

[PolynesianPixie]

Brings me back to those college days......Er, I mean, what!? Do you want to go blind!?!?:rotfl:

[Gatordad]

awh c'mon. share your college days with us old guys..... we're old, so we don't run so fast anymore.

[PolynesianPixie]

Old? You can't fool me. I saw your video.

[mrsgus06]

Ah, heck. I just checked. I meant 16-19. I'll check with Rhonda and see what I told her. 16-19 is thursday-sunday.:headache:

16-19? 17-20? Heck, I sure am glad you cleared this up for me!:lmao: :rotfl2: I will just rent a cabin from 16-20 and that will work! :laughing: Addie, MRS. Bigdisneydaddy (Mr. Bigdisneydaddy scares me :scared1: :laughing: ), where are you? Are you in?

Can I still join the GG if I might check out on a different day? I might stay a little longer. I'm coming from Maine so I want to make a full trip out of it.

[mrsgus06]

You dont know me, I run a tight ship.

I do know you and I know that you can easily be bribed.................with beer!:rotfl2: And, if you are anything like cousin Skeeter (his ship is not so tightly ran) Pattie is already packed and ready to go. If you don't agree, Snow White will send her dwarfs to Michigan to rough you up!

Patti, I say stand your ground (and stock up on beer), book your flight and enjoy a girls weekend away. Besides, we both know that Scott is so slow in "connecting the dots" that you will have already returned before he even realizes you have left.:lmao: :lmao:

Ok, he's slow!:lmao: I am just saying that Scott is somewhat challenged when it comes to connecting the dots in certain situations. :rolleyes1

I think all natural born Carter's are some how challenged. If not, my kids sure do prove that wrong.;) By the way, if you are a twin you are twice as challenged!:rotfl2:

As I recall Forrest was rich and famous by the end of the movie.

If I understand Grand Gatherings correctly, you can make a reservation of any length and at any resort and rate that you qualify for. Adding the Grand Gathering number to your reservation allows you to be linked to Disney's Grand Gathering system which will allow those with the same "type" of reservation to be in the same loop, and also allows us to book special "Grand Gathering" experiences. It also allows the Grand Gathering folks to communicate on their grand gathering website and "coordinate" the trip.

So yes, you can make your reservation for any length of time you wish.

[PolynesianPixie]

Rollin', rollin', rollin'!

OK, Ladies! I've chatted with Rhonda and she is holding a full hook-up site. Right now the cost is $92 per night. She hopes that once the AP rates are in we can get a better deal.

I will post another poll to try to figure out what type and how many sites we will need. Then when you are ready, PM Rhonda to reserve your site and she will add it to the Grand Gathering!!! :yay:

Cool. If I am able to meet you it would be the weekend you picked :cool1: I won't know anything for sure until my MIL moves. I am hoping she moves to central FL not too far from WDW. ;)

I don't think I would post a poll since you are asking certain people. You will probably get people voting who aren't coming. Maybe start a new thread...grand gathering for April 16-19. 2009. Similiar to the one that is going now for the GG in July. Then you will be able to see everyone that responds.

I was curious if Gatordad, Rog and I could come by for a massage one day. Maybe break out the massage tables and have Kungaloosh for afterwards.

I've got a question. Once we get the details hammered down on this, would anyone mind if I posted the details to my tabtrailers and teardrop groups??

What I find disturbing is the fact that eight guys are willing to come in drag to this event. So who is the other seven guys?

I won't actually make ressies till next CC billing cycle, but the suspense is killing me!!

Me too! It's almost spring now!! It's too far away.

[PolynesianPixie]

I really like the name, too!!!! I've emailed Rhonda again. I told her about the name and asked about a GG#. I'm going to go ahead and reserve a partial, get the GG# and then you all can make your ressies when you are ready.:banana:

[lizardqueen]

Can I join in? I'm not a regular over here, but this sounds like alot of fun.

[PolynesianPixie]

Absolutley, Michelle! Plus, you have plenty of time to become a "regular" between now and then!




BTW, Everybody! Rhonda got back to me. WDW hasn't released the partial hook-up ressies yet, when they do she'll let me know. Also, we will get a GG# when enough people make reservations.

I need to make another ticker!

[Rhonda]

Just another reminder -- here's the link for me to make the reservation for you for the "WDW" Grand Gathering!! Just pick my name from the list of agents: Reservation Request (http://www.dreamsunlimitedtravel.com/reservations/agent_room-res.cfm)

[CaptKen]

LOL.....Im one.....we should actually do it. It would go down in history, can you imagine how ugly a broad I would make...and I aint shavin either!!!

Couldn't be any worse than some of the wimmen that hung out in the bars I went to in my younger days. If you have teeth, then you're way ahead of them.

[mamaloya]

Not sure if I can make it the weekend after Easter. WDW will still be fairly crowded then and I really hate crowds. The weekend after the weekend after Easter would be less crowded. Not asking anyone to change dates because we will never all be able to go at the same time. If I did make it down for those dates, I would most likely stay out of the parks and just hang out at the fort.

I still really want to come and will try no matter what the dates.

Flights are also pretty expensive that time of year..with the spring breaks for schools being so varied.

[PolynesianPixie]

I have my ressies!!!!!!!:banana: :banana:

[clkelley]

I made my ressies last week also. Rhonda's working on getting me a partial now.

Hopefully we'll have enough folks soon to add a Grand Gathering Number:banana:

[clkelley]

Just to remind everyone. If you are booking a cabin, ask for 2100 Loop. If you are booking a partial hookup ask for 2000 Loop. If you are booking a full hookup, ask for 900, and 800 for a Pet Loop.

Does that sound right??

Perfect! I'm trying to get a partial, too! :goodvibes

[Shannone1]

Unfortunately, I won't know until July/August if we are going to be able to make it or not. My oldest starts high school (9th grade) this year and they have a strict attendance policy. I have to wait until their school calendar for next year is released and then work around it. :headache: Things were SO much easier when they were little !! :sad2:

[seabee]

Hey maybe we could get t shirts or something for us to have. We don't have to wear them all together, but have them as a souvenir. Or we could make signs. Just a thought and I felt like playing around with my photoshop.

[mrsscooter]

Camping? or Cabins? Its a long drive for me to get to FW. Theres no way I'd want to pull the camper that far by myself. If I tried to back it into a site, I would end up clearing the whole loops of trees!!!!!:rotfl:
I do like the idea of a womens only meet.

Thats funny, because that would be me too! I looooove a girls weekend in Disney! A girlfriend and I did that for Mothers Day weekend about two years ago.....we ditched the men and kids and flew down for a long weekend. We loved it!!! I will be checking my calendar.....

[mrsscooter]

Perfect! I'm trying to get a partial, too! :goodvibes

So would anyone have the "heebee jeebees" sharing a cabin with a bunch of us?? I could send you guys a backround check, finger prints, work history, LOL.......

Perfect! It would be fun to all wear it one day. What a great time we will have!! Of course, I will have to stay at the camper with my family, but believe me. I am not above ditching them for some Wild Dis Women Activities!! By the time April rolls around I will be dying for a trip to the fort. Can't wait!!

[clkelley]

Since we are losing the Full Hookups in 800 - 900 Loop, do we want to rearrange where we request for the weekend??

Do we want to keep it at 2000, 900, 800, 2100, or move it over to 1500, 1600, and then 2100 for the cabins??

[Camping Cat]

I LOVE the tee shirts! What a great idea!

I have a question. We will be staying at a DVC resort and I can't make the reservations until 11/7 months, depending on where we stay. How does staying at a different resort affect a Grand Gathering? I've never paid much attention to the Gatherings because I've never been a part of one before. Does staying at a different resort mean that I can't be a part of it?

Also, can we put the dates of the trip in the thread title so they are easy to remember?

Also, I'm part of the 4th of July GG and I'm not staying at the Fort. So, its all good. :goodvibes

[clkelley]

Jan,

I don't think it's a problem. When you make your reservations, just tell them you want to be part of Grand Gathering #GG#616914 and that should cover it. Then if we decide we want to book one of those group meals or experiences, you can be a part of it.

[Camping Cat]

Thanks, Carol. That's great to know.

[2goofycampers]

Is this still on? Is the dates still April 16-19 2009?

I'm committed to an 18th Century Living History event up in Illinois the weekend before that, so I don't think I"ll be feeling very "wild" that soon afterwards.

But...if you were to change the date to another month....count me IN!

Hey all you wild women ~ I'll be arriving at the fort on the 19th ~ any chance of meeting even though it will be the last day of the gathering? I'd love to have the chance to meet with you all. (I promise to leave the DH and Dkids at our camper, lol)

[Just Beachy]

This sounds like so much fun!!! Are you all staying at the Fort? Do you have room for one more? My DH would love to be able to stay home while I went to WDW!!! :rotfl:

How is the weather in April compared to Oct? Anyone know? I have been trying to figure out how I could still be apart of the fun since we are going in Oct. (we only get to go once a year) But, with how slow things are going with Jim we were thinking of maybe waiting and going down in April so that I can join you all. I'm just curious about the weather then. We went the first week in March before and that was nice, December was nice, Oct. was ok, a bit hot this past year though. Also, has anyone done the Pirates and Princess Party?

[VACAMPER]

It was kinda hot when we were there this past April. Not miserable though. Beware of the spring break crowds. Around here schools are closed at Easter for spring break so since Easter was in March i didn't even think about it.

The P&PP is fantabulous, great parade, great fireworks, great time dressing up, low crowds. The booty was ok, it was Mardi Gras type beads, they also use to have treasure [gold wrapped chocolate coins] but no more.

[Just Beachy]

Just curious - How do you think the crowd levels are going to be the week after Easter? :confused3 I've never gone around a holiday before.

[JCTigger]

I'd be interested in coming however the dates that I was planning on going was the 18th thru the 25th (its my schools vacation time and I was going to be going down for a solo trip and tent camp for the first time at the fort)

Actually, the dates have been changed. They are the April 23rd - 27th. Alot of folks come before and after. The previous weekend was still in Holiday season, so we moved it further away from Easter.

Ami should be putting up a new post with the revised dates soon!!

[3gr8kids]

Is it official?? When did the dates change?? We'll be there the 19th through the 27th, and we're very much looking forward to meeting everyone!
Carol ~ we REALLY need to have a couple or twelve frozen mudslides! :)
And Ami ~ although I'm not a wine drinker, I'd love to have a glass of Imagine Chardonnay with you!

[clkelley]

Ami and myself, plus from responses we got in another thread decided in chat the other night that we should change the dates to get it away from Holiday season.

I contacted Rhonda yesterday about changing my reservations.

[JCTigger]

The new dates actually work a little better for me anyways... because I wasnt going to be there until late late day on the 18th and having to set up and everything... at least the new dates ill be there and can enjoy meeting everyone!

Jill

[GOBA Mom Lynn]

I finally made our ressies for Apr. 21-26, so we'll be there the same time! I had missed the post about the change in dates, so I'm excited that I won't have to miss it. I'll be there with DH and DBIL and his DD6, so time away with some females should be a relief.:thumbsup2 Will see you all sometime, but not Sat. the 25th- that's when my kids will be marching in the parade at MK!

What are the dates?popcorn::

I have a 40' motor coach....if I got to know a few ladies....I could share, to keep the costs down. It has a full kitchen, that could also keep food costs down too. Let's talk. Deb

We would love to have you join the fun!! I'm sure there is somebody that wouldn't mind sharing or setting up a tent in the back of your MH!!

I'm so excited - I made ours for the whole week we'll be there.

I just realized that I was going to be there that weekend. I sure would love to meet up with everyone. My DH, DD, GS are coming, but I can go off on my own. Do you have any plans and can I join in on any of them. I am coming on Friday and leaving Sunday.

I think the "gathering" aspect of this has kind of fizzled out. It looks like we'll be in by 9pmish on Saturday night. Come on by!!

[3gr8kids]

We should be in and settled (hopefully) by around 3 on Sunday. Stop by for a beverage!!

We're checking in on Monday morning. Hopefully getting a site in 1500 so we're close to the pool. Will have our green Mickey ears sign up, too. We'll have 2 tents and a canopy, and a red Chrysler mini van.

We won't have a golf cart, but still hope to see some of the other loops, and hopefully will run into some of you there! We won't have a computer with us either, so when we leave home we'll be living in the stone age.;)

See you all there!
