Ohana's Breakfast on 5-24-08. We missed you if you didn't come!!!

[twiu]

Hi girls. No more hijacking Amanda's TR. We're planning a disbride luncheon in May. Memorial day weekend. Who's up for it? Either Saturday the 24th or Sunday the 25th. So, let's pick a date. I can only do weekends - sorry :( But, I gotta pay my mortgage!

Also, I vote for somewhere in a park. I mean, since you all have ap's, we should take advantage of that. I would put a poll up her, but I"m not sure how to do that. So, let me know and I'll try to set it up. I need ideas though! I have worked for the mouse for so long that sometimes I forget what's cool and what isn't. You kinda forget how amazing the place is sometimes when you have access all the time (shame on me!).

So please. Input. Any input!

[PrincessBride010103]

I'm in...either date is good for me...are we inviting the DHs & DFs?
Cant wait for May!! :goodvibes

[twiu]

Sure. I mean, you can't really make them go away while you're on vacation. That's just rude - but then again, they'll probably be all weirded out by the situation. My DF will definitely not want to go. I think once we figure out who's coming, we can figure it out from there.

[monana]

My DF and I will be landing on the 24th for the week to hopefully do our planning session. So depending on what time our flight comes in from Seattle, We can meet up with for lunch. But I am thinking that Sunday might be best however if that doesnt work for everyone, we'll try our best on Saturday. This totally sounds like a great experience.

[OceanGdss]

aww...im so sad :( We're leaving town the 24th for 2 weeks...:sad2: *sniff*

[lpizzuro123]

As of now we are arriving for our Planning Session on that Sunday. Please keep me posted on what everyone decides. We probably will not have activated our AP yet. If you guys do an outside the park something I would be up for it - maybe even inside. I'll try to think of some suggestions and post them here.

Linda

[newyearsbride]

Sad day, I wanna go, but we're going in April, and I can't afford the gas money two months in a row :guilty: :sad1:

[Lynn5700]

aww...im so sad :( We're leaving town the 24th for 2 weeks...:sad2: *sniff*

I'm so sad too!!!! I want to have one :( I was actually going to start a thread and see if any May bride's wanted to have one. Whoever is going to be there from May 5-13th let me know!!!!

[BayouPrincess]

I'm up for either day! I'll drag DH with me I'm sure. Just let me know and I'll plan around everyone else's schedule!

:banana: :yay: I'm gonna meet some DIS brides! :banana: :yay:
DANCE WITH ME!

[PrincessBrideKatie]

I am there from the 18-25, but I am leaving early in the morning of the 25. I would vote for the 24... however its the first day of my honeymoon... and I dont know what the day will entail...

[WithDisneySpirit]

I will be having my vow renewal on the 27th!! I will be getting down there on the evening of the 22nd :goodvibes I personally would love a Saturday meet :lovestruc

[FIREFLY01]

this would be great i got to check my schedule, i know i am working on saturday,

The only bad thing----Memorial Day Weekend in Disney is a nightmare!!!

that place is packed all weekend, plus flower and garden fest is still going on too.......

[Lindsay22]

Either day is great by me!! Maybe Caryn will fly out too!

[Keira1387]

:sad1: That's going to be Memorial Weekend, and we always go out of town!!

[BaBeeCee14]

I'm so jealous! I want to go too! :sad1: But my PS is in April and there is no way I can take time off of work again to come down in May. Especially since I'm taking 2 weeks off for the wedding. :rolleyes1 Hope you guys have a great time!

Anyone up for an October meet?

[Namsupak]

I would be up for a dis brides meet on either day. We'll be arriving on the 22nd for our wedding on the 26th.

Mona... You're coming down for your planning session the weekend right before we're having our memorial day wedding in Japan! :goodvibes

[PrincessBrideKatie]

Just to get an update, are we doing this? We need to pick a place and time. Any ideas?

[PrincessBride010103]

yeah! someone pick a restaurant!!

[PrincessBrideKatie]

Are we thinking sitdown restaurant, or quickservice? I dont know if we could get reservations for the saturday of Memorial Weekend.

[PrincessBride010103]

Are we thinking sitdown restaurant, or quickservice? I dont know if we could get reservations for the saturday of Memorial Weekend.

I don't think anyone wants to meet us katie :sad:

[Lindsay22]

I don't think anyone wants to meet us katie :sad:

I want to meet!!! Now let me go back and read the thread and I'll be a better poster!

[Lindsay22]

Okay, I'm ready now :surfweb: .
I have found that you can usually get reservations for Ohana breakfast (sometimes it's a little late, but whatever) with only a weeks notice or so. That would be my vote. That way if someone hasn't activated their AP they can still meet us. Once again, I don't care either way about the date... whatever is good for everyone is good for me.
(Oh, and DF and I are OBSESSED with Ohana breakfast)

[WithDisneySpirit]

It would need to be Saturday for me. I will just see what y'all plan and then see if I can come too! :goodvibes

[PrincessBride010103]

I second Ohana breakfast :)

[PrincessBrideKatie]

I am up for that... are DFs or DHs invited??? DF and I will have only been married a couple of hours

[BayouPrincess]

I second Ohana breakfast. I LOVE :love: the juice.

And Katie, I hope DF/DH's are invited. This is an adults only trip so he would be by himself if not. I can't wait for us all to meet! :banana: :dance3: :cheer2:

Hey Lin...is Caryn coming too?

[sunsh1ne]

i'm in!! this is a great idea. i can do wither weekend day!

[PixyDusted]

I'd LOVE to come! Can I? Can I?!!! I can only do weekends as well! (I also have to pay a mortgage! :rotfl2: )

My df and I just got engaged on the Disney Magic on our cruise last weekend and we're planning a Disney wedding!!

I'd love to be there to just chat and get some advice from all of you!! Either day is good for me!

AWESOME! So excited!

[twiu]

How do I take the poll off?

[PixyDusted]

I'm definitely in (PixyDusted = Mikkel)! I don't think my DF will come either b/c he'll think it's cheesy as well (and we live in Orlando so I'm sure he'll find what to do at our house!) but I'll ask anyway. For now just include me :-)

THANKS! I'm very excited!

[PrincessBrideKatie]

I am making my DF come! Come on, I think it will be fun for the guys to come too! Maybe if you tell them other guys are coming they might feel more comfortable about going to!

[PrincessBride010103]

yay eric & i are in :cool1:

[sunsh1ne]

hehe my dh thinks it is cheezy also. like you said his loss. :)
i will be there :)

[BayouPrincess]

[Lindsay22]

YAY!!! Df and I are soooo excited (granted, I'm more excited than him, but still!!!)

[twiu]

YAY!!! Df and I are soooo excited (granted, I'm more excited than him, but still!!!)
What day are picking again?

Saturday morning! 9:30 am. Ohana's.

[lpizzuro123]

Not sure if we will be there by Saturday morning but I will definately let you know as it gets closer. As of now we are leaving Friday and driving but if leave on Thursday I'll make it in time.

Linda

[monana]

we may be in, i'll let you know as soon as i know when we land in orlando. it sounds like it's going to be so much fun. i really am going to try and book a flight so we can make it there. Thanks for planning all this.

[twiu]

Okay chickies... I booked Ohana's on Saturday morning 5/24. Problem is, for a group - they can only do it early in the morning. The latest I could get it is for 8:40 am - I could get later, but they couldn't guarantee we'll all be sitting together - and that, my friends, is the whole point, right?

So... 8:40 am, May 24, Saturday. The whole party needs to be there at that time so BE THERE AND DON'T BE LATE!

I'm excited. If anyone else wants to join us, please let me know. Right now I made the reservation for 20 people - just in case. I can change it beforehand to make sure we have the numbers right :)

Can't wait to see you girlies!

[WithDisneySpirit]

:goodvibes I am in, just so you know! My DH won't be there until that night as I am arriving a couple days early with my Mom and Dad to take care of stuff before the vow renewal. I am looking forward to the meet :yay:

[caryndisneydiva]

ohhhh maaaannnnnnn! i'm jealous of you girls! we get back from our honeymoon less than a week before that. i don't think i can talk mark into flying somewhere else after being gone for 9 days...so have fun without me!

lin, i'll probably fly in for the 10k in october. of course i haven't told my dh yet, but he'll think i'm nuts and just get over it...

please let me know. maybe we can schedule in my planning session around that time so that you can come!

[Namsupak]

Hey guys! I'm Lauren... I've kinda been MIA. I really need to post up some PJ stuff :goodvibes
I actually already have Ohana ressies for 10:30 that morning with my mom, bro, and DF. Maybe we can move it and I can just stop by and meet you all cause I don't think my bro and mom would be into hanging out with a bunch of brides and couples :rotfl: But I'll def try to catch up with you guys!

[sunsh1ne]

sounds good!!

[PrincessBrideKatie]

The time is fine... still totally looking forward to meeting everybody! :banana:

[BayouPrincess]

The earlier time is fine with us. We never sleep in at Disney. We'll be there!

[PixyDusted]

Ouch! It's okay, I guess I'll just have to get up early!

[twiu]

It's funny. The local disbrides don't want to get up early and the ones visiting are up for it. I guess when you can go to Disney anytime... sleeping in is a wonderful option :) But oh well, reservation is early - so yup... gotta rise and shine!!!

I love voting in pools, so I voted for May 24th, which also happens to be the anniversary of Queen Victoria's birth :)

[PrincessBrideKatie]

Yeah, but explain why the canadian holiday (Victoria Day) is the week before... I didnt check a calender when planning my wedding but I thought that memorial day and victoria day were on the same weekend... so I thought great everybody will get extra days off.. perfect for traveling to my wedding... nope, its the weekend before. :headache:

[WithDisneySpirit]

I'll be there with bells on :goodvibes (well, not really bells)

[twiu]

bumping.

[ilovefh]

I'm so sad too!!!! I want to have one :( I was actually going to start a thread and see if any May bride's wanted to have one. Whoever is going to be there from May 5-13th let me know!!!!

I'm an October bride,not at Disney, but we'll be there May 8-12!

[lpizzuro123]

I would love to go but I do not think we will be getting down there until the morning of May 25. If anyone is around that evening maybe we could meet for an ice cream in Downtown Disney - or if anyone will be working in Disney that evening, let me know where and maybe we could stop by.

We are down for a week and we are going to try to meet with an officient, I already have my hair and makeup trial scheduled, a engagement shoot with Misty and our planning session. Hope we have some spare time to go into the park. I want to make it to Epcot at least one day for the Flower & Garden show.

Hey Princesbridekatie - you are getting married on my birthday.

Linda

[pat9283]

Wow there's gonna b a lot of us in Disney in May! :) Im arriving on the 8th, Honeymoon shoot on the 13th (day b4 the wedding! :rotfl: ) and then married on the 14th and leaving on the 29th! I'll look out for u all! LOL

[PrincessBrideKatie]

Hey Princesbridekatie - you are getting married on my birthday.

:goodvibes

[BayouPrincess]

Tracy,

Unfortunately, DH and I have to back out of our commitment to be there for the breakfast. :sad2: It's our only scheduled day at AK and hubby will be grumpy if we don't get there before ropedrop. It's EMH for Saturday. I hope :lovestruc that I get to run into some of you over the weekend!

bummer. :( That's cool. I understand. Maybe some of us will go there after and catch up with you.

[Tabetha]

I wish I could be there, but I'll still have one month to go here on the ship.

For those of you staying at Disney, maybe you could slide your reservation numbers over to this bride to help her fill her room block?

[PixyDusted]

Only a few more weeks!! :cool1:

[twiu]

*bumping*

Hey girls.. don't hate me!!! But, my DF surprised me with a weekend away on memorial day weekend! It was totally unexpected (like he has a clue what I do on this board!) and I've been saying lately that I've been stressed out with work and what not... so dear dear amazing man that he is, booked us a 3 day weekend by the beach so I can de stress!! What a doll. Anyway, so that means, I'm gonna have to bail on breakfast.

here's the deal though, I still have the reservations. I can just keep them and you guys can just say my name. Any ideas? Or we can just can the whole thing which is sad. Let me know. Feel free to still go without me and I'll keep the reservation. So... whatcha'll think? Lisa (bayouprincess) and Amanda (princessbride010103) cancelled. There's still like 10 of you... just let me know.

Again,sorry. Totally unexpected.

[lpizzuro123]

We don't get in until Sunday afternoon so we will not be able to make the breakfast. We are around the whole week for our planning session so if anyone wants to try for another time we would be up for it. Even if it is not something you need reservations for - maybe just ice cream at Downtown Disney - one afternoon or evening that week.

Linda

[WithDisneySpirit]

So, who is left that can attend this breakfast? I am still available but don't want to have a meet by myself! :confused3

[sunsh1ne]

i can still go if there is anyone left!!

[PixyDusted]

I can go! I was looking forward to it.

[WithDisneySpirit]

The reservation is already made and I think it is for 8:40. Twui made it for 15 people I think and there were ten left who might be able to go. I can still go :goodvibes

[PixyDusted]

Alright....well 8:40am it is with whoever shows up. :cool1: See whoever goes there!

I love the photos!! I was dressed in pink and I truly enjoyed meeting everyone. That trip was the trip for my VR which is the reason for me being incommunicado so long! My pictures did not come out near as well either so thanks a bunch :goodvibes It was a great way to start my vacation and put me in the mood for a wedding :lovestruc

If you get a chance for a bride meet, you better grab it! :goodvibes

My minister's wife called it the wedding of the century!! Little does she know that all Disney weddings rate that high :lovestruc

[PixyDusted]

So good to hear it went so well! I can't wait to see photos!
