May 2009 WDW Meet. . .

[tinkerbell87512]

For all of you doing the crawl, and in tribute to the swine flu...a little humor for you!!!

Get plenty of exercise because exercise helps build your immune system. Eat right! Make sure you get your daily dose of fruits and veggies. Get lots of fresh air, plenty of rest. Try to eliminate as much stress from your life as you can.

OR ….

You can take the doctor’s office approach. Think about it, when you go for a shot, what do they do first? Clean your arm with alcohol.. Why? Because alcohol kills germs. So…… I walk to the liquor store (exercise), I put lime in my Corona (fruit), celery in my Bloody Mary (veggies), drink on the bar patio (fresh air), get drunk, tell jokes, and laugh (eliminate stress) and then pass out (rest). The way I see it, if you keep your alcohol levels up flu germs can’t get you!!!!

:rotfl2::cool1::thumbsup2


:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:



Yep, I'm convinced :thumbsup2

Well, driving over to the airport tonight and fly in about 24 hours from now. a quick nine hour flight and I'll be there! As soon as I've got a phone sorted I'll start drunk texting. :rotfl:


Have a safe trip!!!!

[nurse.darcy]

Okay, its Tomorrow. . .I am just going to put the updates out and not a complete list. . .ENJOY!

By the way, its 10 days for me WOO FREAKING HOO.

[sand2270]

morning all...don't have much to say just wanted to see my countdown tickers. It's getting so close!

[nurse.darcy]

Sooooo, for all of you that might be "worried" about the swine flu. . .here is an update for you. . .

There are now 260 (as of this morning) confirmed cases of the swine flu in 35 states. The CDC says that it is easy to catch but not as severe as our normal winter flu. The reason we are more susceptible to it than the winter flu is over time we have built up immunities to the winter flu (which mutates every year and is worse some years more than others). Here are some statistics:

The normal winter flu:

200,000 + confirmed cases last year. . .

38,000 + confirmed deaths from the "normal" winter flu in the US.

Mexico is already seeing a decline in the number of new cases of Swine Flu. No deaths from this flu have been reported for the last 3 days.

The CDC reports now that this flu, while highly contageous, is not as dangerous as previously reported. The seasonal flu vaccine will contain vaccination against the swine flu.

Okay, just thought you all would want to know. . .

[Graeme]

Off to airport now! See you all soon. :thumbsup2

[nurse.darcy]

Off to airport now! See you all soon. :thumbsup2

:woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:

I have 11 more sleeps before I leave and 12 more sleeps before I get there. But I expect it'll be more like 10 sleeps for me. I figure I won't sleep the night before we leave - I always have that tendency. And, we're driving there and I've already been given the horrid middle of the night drive. So I know I'm not sleeping before we get there. Which, of course, REALLY makes me hope I sleep the night before we leave!! :rotfl2:

[Carrieannew]

Too exctied - I can't sleep already. Are you packed yet? :rotfl2:

If clean clothes in piles sitting on top of my suitcase that is not fully unpacked from our last trip counts.. then yes! hahaha.

Nah I suspect I wont even think of packing till monday or tuesday. I have to be packed by Tuesday night since I think I am just going up to the hotel Weds night. So ok maybe will think about it this weekend if I can squeeze it in between other plans. Are you packed yet?!

Right now I would be happy if I could get some sleep tonight. I usually sleep like crap unless I've taken my sleep med but I can only take it 4 nights a week. :headache:

I was suppose to see the sleep dr on the 18th, but they moved it to the 29th. that is only for the consultation - not the sleep study.

At least I have Disney to look forward to.

I can relate to the not sleeping. Had trouble in the past. Much better now, but can't tell you exactly how or why.

[feistygalkmc]

I'm almost packed. Most of the clothes I am taking are new or things that I don't wear that often. I just need to stop adding to my suitcase or changing/adding my 'outfits' is the problem. lol

And Thanks Darcy for the phone tree by the way!

I'm getting excited but I still have so much to do before I leave. I can't wait to go somewhere that hasn't got monsoon type rain the last month. The forecast for rain this week alone is at least 50% chance if not more EVERY day and it rained every day last week. Our weather has eeyore-ish

ABSOLUTELY! Being a nurse, you probably make a good living, and I'm in the market for a "sugar momma"..... :cool1:

[BambiLover]

How long of a drive is it??

Est 16 hours, 40 min. Adding stopping for gas and one of the girls will have to stop for the bathroom fairly often, I suspect, I'm actually thinking it'll run us closer to 18 and 40 min. I'm more of the type to load and go, no stopping unless neccessary, but... not all my girl friends like traveling like that. :rotfl: I do think we're going to stop once we're in FL and hit a beach in the morning. Another girl friend coming along has never been to a beach before. So, I figure some nice, white sand beaches and clear water would be a good visit for her.

And I do alright with the truckers - years of driving with them from college. I'll just miss having a CB to talk to them! :)

Fun part is, they don't read maps, and one hates driving. So... I'm the navigator. I mentioned that if I needed to come back home early for emergency, I was going to have some $$ set aside for a quick flight. The other driver panicked. :confused3 Asked how they would get home.. um.. car we came in? Well, but how will we know how to... um.. same way we came? But, we might get lost! :lmao: I'm taking a GPS for them. Don't do well with those myself - tend to get annoyed when they keep telling me how to drive and where to turn. But, I expect they'll like it a great deal.

It will be a REALLY fun drive, though. Lots of Disney songs played and perhaps a DVD or two watched while en route.

LMAO Love it! Yes, use to talk to the guys when we would drive too with the CB. Was fun and helpful at times to know when a wreck was ahead and speed traps.

Loved that episode... looks like he's holding his breath, though, so maybe the mask isn't very effective...

Anyway, hope he doesn't turn out like the characters in the episode... :)

But she spends it all at Disney :confused3

And how the bleep would you know where I spend my money.

:lmao:

A couple of years ago I was on a solo trip to WDW, and my sister was in Orlando at the time for work, so she suggested that we stay together at WDW to save on costs and spend some time together. She added that she would be renting a car with GPS. So one night, we're driving off-site for a show in downtown Orlando and the GPS works just fine and we get there, no problem. After the show, we're set to return to WDW and she says to me "what's the address again of where we're staying?" After I stopped laughing, I blurted out "Jenn! You do realize we're going to the best marked destination in the US, right??.. I think we'll be ok." :lmao:

Safe travels!

OMG, I could never just send my phone in. I would need a loaner. I would be jonesing if I didn't have a phone in my pocket that didn't ring a hundred times a day. . .

Oh, and 7 more "sleeps" for me. I can only imagine how much more excited I am going to get as the days roll by.

A quick note...

Friday the 15th, Monorail Crawl night...that night is also EMH at Epcot from 9pm-Midnight. Just sharing info in case it doesn't take 3-4 hours to hit the bars along the Monorail. But by the sounds of this crew, that could last until Sunday. :rotfl:

That's probably a good thing cause I think the plan is to head to JRs after the monorail crawl and taking the monorail to Epcot and then a quick walk through Epcot to JRs would be awesome since that is our preferred mode of transport that evening.

Yup. That's actually what I was thinking, but I didn't want to assume to make any plans for others, especially since I don't drink, and will thus be more of an observer to the nights activities (with camera of course). ;)

A good idea. I made that drive (and then some) a few years back when I moved here from Nevada. There should be some nice spots near Pensacola that won't be too far from I-10.

P.S. Next time I'll use multi-quote, but sometimes it's tough trying to keep up with you folks. :eek:

Now to decide if I want to go to Disney today. <sigh> It's almost 10am already, and is supposed to get up around 90 degrees. Hmm...decisions decisions...

I agree, the beaches along the panhandle are much prettier than the beaches on the atlantic side (north end of FL that is). My aunt visited many years ago from Texas and found the beaches along St. Augustine to be so pretty and the water so clear :scared1:. Of course we think the same water is cloudy and dirty :rotfl:. I thought, you should see Panama City Beach! Of course this was in the 80's and 90's so I have no idea what PCB looks like now.

Oh, and since I am already starting to receive texting and calls from "the world" I assume the "party" has begun.

Beaches in Texas aren't as nice! lol I have another person, loaning the GPS, that wants me to drive over to Daytona and up to head back home. However, I don't think that the girls will be up for that much longer of a drive.

That is true... the bars close at Midnight also, and if you are not in Epcot before it closes you are SOL.

Daytona is nice... Ormond Beach (a bit further up) is nice too.... and the beaches on the gulf coast are different to me than the East coast ones. And to stop at Panama City, Destin, Ft. Walton are good places to stop along the panhandle.

Destin is quite nice...and further down to SanDestin as well. I kinda miss that place.

[ahoff]

I wonder if Kadani Village allows pool hopping? Looks like a nice slide there!

We'll be in the Ft Walton/Destin area by morning on the 16th, so I'm aiming for us to stop there and hang at the beach a bit. Be a good place to stretch legs for me (driving all night) and them (just waking up).

While I'm up for driving over to Daytona, etc, I'm just not sure they will be. I love road trips, mostly because you can adjust however you need to in order to see whatever you would like to stop and view. But, that's me. Now, if I'm on a time crunch, just get in and shut up and I'll get us there. :laughing:

[buena vista]

I wonder if Kadani Village allows pool hopping? Looks like a nice slide there!

Not according to this from the DVC:

According to DVC Sales Director Mike Brunson, the new pool complex will be open to all guests staying at either Kidani Village or Jambo House at Disney's Animal Kindom Lodge and Villas.

This should put to rest speculation that use of the new pool may be limited to guests registered at Kidani Village only.

As for pool hopping to the Kidani Village pool, that will not be an option.

One of the perks of Disney Vacation Club ownership is the ability to "pool hop" to other Walt Disney World resort pools when using DVC points to stay at a Vacation Club resort. Two resorts' pools are currently excluded from the pool hopping rules: Stormalong Bay at Disney's Yacht and Beach Club and Uzima pool at AKL. Samawati Springs and Uwanja Camp will be added to the list of pools to which DVC members cannot pool hop.

Who's your carrier? Can they repair/replace the phone at one of their retail stores? Was a few years ago, but I was able to get the screen on my Nextel phone replaced while I waited (ran over it by accident when it popped off my belt clip without me noticing... :headache:)

(One more week! :yay:)

[sand2270]

ok I got everyone's phone number, name and dis handle programmed into my phone and grouped under Disney and Disney 2...

Graeme you are under Disney 2 since you snubbed me...


:lmao::lmao::lmao:

LOL just kidding...the groups only hold so many numbers which is why I had to create 2, but they are alphabetical so Graeme you made the cut and are in the first group. But watch yourself cause I can recategorize you at any time. ;)

I need to get through 5 more days before I leave.. :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

Today will be filled with :laundy: and :surfweb: with dreams of :beach:
Can't wait to meet awesome pirate: and princess: 's and to say ::yes:: to :drinking1 and :dancer::cool1: without :scratchin to the :rockband:.
Can't wait to see some :chat::love1::hyper2:party::tilt: and until then we will all be :hyper::woohoo::cutie:



Robin, I brought in the band just for you!!!! :goodvibes

Priceless Tracy. And yes. . .only 6 more work nights for me and then I am off to WDW. WOO HOO! Can't wait to meet up with my peeps.

[Floydian]

We'll be in the Ft Walton/Destin area by morning on the 16th, so I'm aiming for us to stop there and hang at the beach a bit. Be a good place to stretch legs for me (driving all night) and them (just waking up).

While I'm up for driving over to Daytona, etc, I'm just not sure they will be. I love road trips, mostly because you can adjust however you need to in order to see whatever you would like to stop and view. But, that's me. Now, if I'm on a time crunch, just get in and shut up and I'll get us there. :laughing:

HAHAHA! I'm exactly the same way! In fact, my best "vacation" in the past 5 years was when I drove cross country to move from Nevada to Florida over the course of 6-7 days. I had no schedule and no plans so I "just went". It was so relaxing to know that I could stop when I wanted, or not if I didn't. Check out some little Point of Interest, or even take half a day to visit the Grand Canyon. Oh, and I had my dog with me, so I was stopping every couple of hours anyway to stretch our legs, which prevented me from any loooong, rushed, frantic stretches. :)

By comparison, when I was in my early 20's, I made the drive from Reno to LA multiple times, and would try to better my time each way. It was about a 450 mile trip, and I think my best was to make it with only one stop in about 6.5 hours. So if there's a plan or a time crunch, then just sit down, shut up, and if you have a weak stomach, you may want to cover your eyes! :rotfl:

[ahoff]

Not according to this from the DVC:

As for pool hopping to the Kidani Village pool, that will not be an option.




I knew some pools are not allowed, didn't see the part restricting this one. Maybe just a monorail pool hop, or look at this as a challange.

[sand2270]

this time next week I will be getting ready to go to the airport YEEHAW!!

the Disney World dreams are already starting...a sign that it is getting close. I had the weirdest dream last night...Andrea and I had a very strange room in WDW, I kept getting important calls from work and at some point I was flying a helicopter upside down with my brother. WTH?? Very strange dream.

:rotfl2: That's totally up my alley. I'll see some little "museum" that's maybe a tiny building, and think it's interesting, so I'll make everyone stop and go to it. :rotfl: They love me for it!

Last year, one girl friend and I had to go be in a wedding, and we drove. Rented a house for the weekend, 3rd friend met us there. So, since we drove, and the house allowed pets, we took all our dogs. Well, the two of us driving took our dogs. She had one, I had my 3. It was the first time I took my Border Collie (working dog) on a vacay that didn't involve livestock! But, the pups had a blast and enjoyed themselves thoroughly, and we loved being able to take our girls with us for the weekend. Made it that much more fun - except when it came time to sleeping. Somehow, all 4 ended up on my bed....

I had to order a new suitcase since the zipper broke on mine...so it is in my bedroom and I have stuff scattered everywhere. Going to focus on packing this weekend. I already have my daughter about 75% packed for our trip. I got her a bunch of new summer clothes for the trip and told her she can't wear them until than so it was pretty easy to pack for her. Just threw all the new clothes into her bag.

[jadedbeauty14304]

Whooo hoooo 5 days!!!

[buena vista]

I'm happy to say I've done some shopping and even some laying out of clothes for the May trip - as someone who really doesn't like to shop (I like having shopped, not actually doing it) and a champion procrastinator when it comes to packing for a trip, this is a big deal for me. :goodvibes

One more weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!!!!!!

Two things.

First, I'm sitting in the corner with my arms crossed, beating my feet on the floor and pouting (lip out so far a 747 could land). :mad: Why? I went to the eye doctor today and I have to get..... progressive lens :sad:
I don't mind getting older, I just don't want to be constantly reminded. :rolleyes1

Second, the last two days have been strange at the library. Everyone is coming in to get the KFC coupon from Oprah. Of course the website remembers what computers have printed them and won't let a second person get them. People didn't like that. Then, you drive down the street and there is a HUGE line of cars trying to get into KFC. Just too funny. popcorn::

thank goodness I have Disney next week. :cheer2:

Gang, you're gonna have to pull me off the DisMeet list. Circumstances have arisen where it is necessary for me to stay here in Minnesota next weekend. Have a drink or three for me. :sad1:

And don't worry, I haven't disappeared. I've been lurking around.

Pre-trip, trip before the trip, remember? Its beyond the trip, its not part of the trip...trip before the trip....and nothing's out there but sea and birds and fish. (inside joke)

[Beavis]

A couple people at work were able to print more than one coupon from their computers. But I heard that after a while, most people could only print one.

what the heck is the coupon about, I got an email about that earlier but haven't had time to look at it yet?

Oprah and KFC are giving away a two piece Grilled Chicken meal. You had to download the coupon by Tuesday but you have until May 19th to use it (Mother's Day is excluded). I printed one but I have not used it yet.

I've tasted KFC's new grilled chicken. It's very good. And with it being free, that makes it taste even better :rotfl:

In fact, you may be too at some point...:lmao:

[jadedbeauty14304]

Jeff, I always preferred the seafoam green.

Roseanne, I am just gonna wear a little sundress or something else comfortable. That screams tropical to me. :)

Tom, you are definitely funny looking golf shirt man...lol And you know you have more than three pieces of Tropical attire. lol Don't worry we won't come and steal them. lol You can admit it!

Hmmm, Robin, interesting options. How about I wear the coconut bra, grass skirt, smile, and then Tom's tropical shirt over it???

I stopped by for a few hours this morning before work. It wasn't too terribly bad at MK. Though I think I was in a bad mood today, because every little thing was bothering me (people blocking doorways, kids bumping me every three steps in line, crowds of 10 or more deciding that standing shoulder to shoulder in the middle of the walkway is the best place to stop and chat...)

Though the kicker was that when I left at about 11:15am not one, not two, but FOUR parking trams in a row refused to pick people up to take them to back to their cars. I left after the second one and walked the mile+ to mine, though I saw the other two empty trams go by me along the way. So I asked the guy on the last one if they bother to pick people up, and he said "I told you to wait for the next one". Which did nothing more than confirm my suspicion that the fourth tram was, in fact, the same as the FIRST one that had left us there. So they were already on round two of not giving rides. Man was I ticked off about that one...silly, probably, but on a hot day when I'm in a bad mood... :scared::scared::scared: :rotfl:

Hello All,
I was reading the posts here. I am coming down on May 11th doing my second solo....and on my birthday!! lol so where will everyone be?:yay:

[sand2270]

oy...things went downhill today. I went househunting this morning which went well...I think I found a house I may make an offer on. I want to go back and take some measurements though.

Than we got home and I started feeling icky...now I feel really icky. At least it is coming on now instead of during vacation which is when I usually get sick. Hopefully it will pass by Thursday.

Ugh. Sick is never fun. Mine always seems to happen on my "weekends". Great for not missing work and making the boss happy, not so much for rest and relaxation. But hey, sick today, party next week!! :banana:

[Sha]

How are the crowds so far? I can't wait to get there on Wednesday. :cool1:

Crowds were not bad at Epcot or MK today... was nice. Didnt have any of the parking issues that Brad had. Had a wonderful day and my sister said that she now understands why I love coming to WDW. She likes the adult side of Disney a lot :woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:

[sand2270]

how about the weather? As of right now I have no pants or jeans packed. Any need for those items?

EDIT: Ok I am just a big old flake this weekend. There are like 5 posts about weather right above mine. Nevermind.

I know...blah. I started with a tickle in my throat last night and I have been coughing and now my throat really hurts. If it was going to happen I am glad it was now. Between the two trips, budget planning cycle at work, my back issues, and looking for a house I think I have just worn myself down.

[tojoes]

The time is here!!! Yoo Hoo!! - plane leaves in just 4 hours!! I'll be in Orlando by 10am!! ...... can't wait to meet all you guys in the coming days.... and embark on our Quest!!! hahahaha - see you all soon - :goodvibes

Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms out there.

Well I finally made it to the world last night after not getting to the airport on time. Today had a great day at Busch Gardens, monday Universal Studios Islands.

I ended up in the 90's section of Pop 4th floor, not to bad of a room. Had the rental car for the other parks and a stop at WalMart for supplies.

Well off to bed off to bed to catch 6 hours of sleep to hit the parks. Maybe see some of you around :)

[Floydian]

WooHoo! People are already on site! Maybe I should get sick the next two days and hit the parks instead of work?

[DisneyDreams21]

I can't wait to go!!!!!!!!

2 more sleeps and 2 dancing bananas!!!
:banana::banana:

[tinkerbell87512]

[sand2270]

ugh I got really sick. Not sure what I caught but I have been running a fever since yesterday. Seems to have finally broken. All I have done the last two days is sleep. My mom came over to bring me some gingerale, etc. and was wearing a mask so she wouldn't catch it lol.

At least it happened now, hopefully I will be all better by Thursday.

[libertybell7]

Heres to feeling better...:wizard:

[sand2270]

Well, you have three days to fully recover! Good thing you are catching up on your sleep now.....

[feistygalkmc]

I'm pretty much packed aside from a few odds & ends , I have every medication you could think of in my suitcase (plenty of excedrin for the hangovers :headache:) a TON of bandaids and various other medical supplies just in case my druken-ness causes me or anyone else in my party(really my party in the literal sense http://www.clicksmilies.com/s1106/party/party-smiley-049.gif) at the time is injured , couple packs of wet ones in case I get sticky from all the drinkshttp://smilies.vidahost.com/otn/party/beerchug.gif, 2 packs of kleenex and a sudoko book for the plane if I get bored.

I spent more time getting everything else together than I did picking out my clothes. I hope everyone has good flights and no delays at the airport.
Instead of dancers I'll use these cute little guys for my countdown, just 2 more days for me!

Hello everyone.
This thread is going to get slow soon, most of us will be in the world in the next few days...except for those who are already there...:snooty:
I wish everyone a safe trip. I'll see you all real soon.
I know I will be well taken care of with the first aid room, bar room and the travelling first aid lady!

[DisneyDreams21]

1 More Day!!!!!!!!!:cheer2:

Just wanted to wish everyone safe travels and a reminder that the bar will be OPEN at POP daily, so grab a mixer and stop by for a beverage or two.

We tend to open the bar during our afternoon pool breaks and before going out at night:)

Cheers to good times ahead!

[jadedbeauty14304]

I'm goin to WDW Tomorrow!!!!

:dancer:

Can't wait to see everyone, meet everyone, and have a nice week of relaxation, sunshine, and good times with great friends!

I just need to gather the stuff and shove it into suitcase(s) and get my butt on a plane!!!

[Floydian]

Should I print out some addresses, phone numbers, and maps with directions for the local jail and bail bonds places, just in case? :rotfl2:

Tracy, you and I pack similarly, except that I pack in those huge zip locks cause I don't want TSA touching my stuff. Gather, shove into zips and then the suitcase, zip it up and go get on the plane. . .

Anyway, Amy, you need to get better. Hopefully you went to urgent care, got some tamiflu and antibiotics and are now resting comfortably on the couch in front of the TV.

I might not have to work tonight, in which case I would actually have an extra day to get ready. . .OMG, whatever will I do. . .um, probably girls night in at Andrea's.

Safe travels to all of us traveling in the next few days, can't wait to reunite with my awesome friends from the last year and add some new ones into the mix. . .see you all real soon. I'll be landing at MCO on the 14th at 10:56 a.m.

I LOVE Southwest!!!!

Ok super excited here--somehow I just "convinced" Tracy to take an earlier flight tomorrow...the conversation went like this--

Me: Hey, stop me from changing our flight to the early one
Tracy: omg What are you doing?
Me: It's $20 more
Tracy: We do have that credit to use
Me: What do you think?
Tracy: I'm on the change flight page right now...

LOL, I pack like that, too. I just need to weed out my pile of clothes. I always overpack.

Only 2 more days to go!! I'm having a really hard time staying focused at work and keep reading DISboard instead. Good thing I'm the boss or I could get in trouble. Maybe I should just issue myself a verbal warning.

Best wishes to my fellow travelers. I look forward to making some new friends.

I land at MCO at noon on the 14th. I'm ready for some hot weather! I had on a long-sleeved wool sweater (and a T shirt underneath) yesterday and we actually had to turn the heat back on in the office.

I just got back from urgent care. I have the flu, my daughter doesn't. I am leaving in a minute to get my prescription filled. I asked about leaving Thursday and she said I should be ok. I always get sick at the worst possible time.

btw it is not swine flu so please spare me the jokes I am not in the mood. :)

[MOREMICKEYFORME]

I hope you and your daughter are feeling better quickly. I can't wait to meet you. :hug:

[jadedbeauty14304]

Well friends, this is my last post for a while, as I have to get up at 4am or so tomorrow to get to the airport and to WDW!!!! I am going to do one last MIB because I love them...LOL

:dancer:

I'm goin to Disney World tomorrow! Whoo hooo!

[Pygoplites]

34 hours to go and I'm already packed...maybe a record for me. I must really need this vacation! My French bulldog is glued to me; I think she has figured out what's going on and is making sure that I get an extra dose of her *fragrance* before abandoning her for a few days. I look forward to the smell of churros and popcorn instead of my beloved bat-eared stink machine.

Safe journeys to my fellow May travelers!

[Beavis]

Well all those still packing make sure you get somthing for wet weather. Was at MK today and by 2-3 pm they had thunderstorms and rain, had to close most all outdoor rides untill later. Still nice from what I'm used to in Oregon. Still good times tho, and good dinner at the new T-Rex resturant.

[jadeheart6]

I was planning to drive on down to WDW this Thursday night and had no idea that there was a meet until Sha mentioned it on Myspace. So unless some emergency happens at the hospital (a run of sunburnt tourists or a string of shark attacks on my beach), I suppose I will be down there to meet everyone. Heaven knows I need the break. Not quite sure where I'm going to stay but I'll figure it out when I arrive.

Oh yeah, I still have to pack. Wet weather is definatly not on my mind, I was not going to pack any jacket at all.

I was on the SW site only 6 minutes after the 24 hour time to get boarding passes, and got a B group number.

Safe trips, everyone!

I packed my poncho for rain - but hope I don't have to use it. Today I hoping to do EMH at AK and ride Kali River Rapids so I dont' care if I get wet.

See you in a bit.

[jadedbeauty14304]

Hello from POP! We have checked in and are slightly disappointed we didn't get the 70's section but we did get a nice pool view in the 50's Tramp building! (lol oh the jokes that could be made..lol) Anyhow this will probably be my last post for the week! hugs!

[podsnel]

So exciting that people are already there!!! Can't wait to meet you on Sunday!!:banana::banana:

[watank]

Finally checked in @ POP, I really need to get better organized at packing ahead of time (realized as I boarded the plane that I forgot a few things :headache: oh well)... then the front desk can't find my ressie :confused: (turns out my name was misspelled twice... argh)

Important thing is I'm "home" and ran into Tracy, Robin and Patty :grouphug: - now off to find coffee beans and other supplies :)

Just finished packing and now I am off to Target for a last minute item. I leave for the airport in 7 hours and and take off in 8.5 hrs. . .Can't believe I got packed. . .ROFLMAO. . .and there is still room in my suitcase.

Oh and I promise to post something daily to keep all of you informed on the haps. . .I am bringing my laptop of course.

[sand2270]

glad to hear people are getting there and meeting up.

For the first time since Sunday my temperature is within a normal range, still not feeling great...I do a little packing, cleaning...take a break...do a little more...take a break...but i am getting there.

Tomorrow is strictly a travel day. I may pass out on Matty on the plane but at least tomorrow is one more day for me to recuperate before the partying begins.

[feistygalkmc]

Its almost time for me!!!! Just 10 hours 18 minutes and some seconds. I have been keeping an eye on the weather and after about a month of rain here in Oklahoma and sunny skies at WDW I see that the forecast calls for 30-40% chance of scattered thunderstorms or something similar every day I'm there. Now I expected a shower once or even twice a day but more storms...:eek: I am determined to not let the rain get in my way :dance3:

Here's to hoping that Amy feels better, it doesn't rain and everyone makes it to the World safely! :cheer2:

[nurse.darcy]

Well, I just got off the phone with Tracy and there is a group headed out to JR's tonight. They should be there now. The group that I talked to consists of:

Tracy (JadedBeauty)
Robin (DisneyDreams21)
Patty (Dismen98)
Bart (NH_Hubba)
Christi (Bound2Travel)
Brad (Floydian)
Ken (Watank)

I also heard from Graeme and his friend that they are also on the way.

Time to sign out and finish up last minute packing. . .next time you hear from me it will be from the WORLD. . .WOO HOO.!

[watank]

We also met up with Teresa and Angela (her birthday!) although I got caught videoing Angela's birthday dance, whoops (got off with a warning - whew)

[nurse.darcy]

My flight in Vegas left the gate early and I am now in Houston waiting for my connecting flight. I did finally sleep a little, but not enough. Since we got here early, I have a longer wait for my connection. Oh well. At least I can come on here and say. . .

I AM ALMOST THERE. . .YAY!

Traveling mercies to all those arriving today and tomorrow. I will update again later.

[MOREMICKEYFORME]

Amy-I think you passed your sickness into me. I woke up at 1:40am feeling yucky, got back to bed and woke up at 5am feeling puky!!! Ewee!!! I am at work now and hoping to feel better soon.

Brad- I will most certainly seek you out to meet you. I will be there in the am tomorrow. I plan on doing the Monorail crawl and also Jelly Rolls, so you can come and find me too. I'm not hard to find, the short girl with long brown hair.

See everyone soon!!!

oh no I hope not I don't wish this on anyone I am still feeling gross.

I just got back from checking out the house I might want to purchase...had to take some measurements. Now I need to throw a few final things in my suitcase...run an errand at the mall and get to the airport. Than it's on to Vegas to pick up Matty.

EDIT: I just realized my ticker is congratulating me. Yeah me!! LOL

[MOREMICKEYFORME]

I am feeling a lot better now, must have been something I ate...
I am super excited to see everyone soon! :banana:

at the airport for the first leg of my flight to Vegas to see Matty...

[ahoff]

Just got home from my trip, had a great time! It was great to meet people in person after talking to them for so long. Tracy, thanks so much for organizing the dinner on Friday, and I am glad to have finally met you. I still laugh when I think how amused you were with my text story. I have some pictures to post but it will have to wait until I can track down my cable, I believe it is at work.

[disneyfanx3]

I am back - I had a great time. It was nice seeing everyone again and meeting some new friends. I am looking forward to the next trip.

[ttester9612]

That was the best 12 days I had in a long time...It was nice to meeting up with everyone again and meeting new disFriends. Hope to see you all again some day. :thumbsup2

Funny, I'm back, yet I still have 4 more days off, and WDW is still less than an hour away...hmmmm

Edit: Ok. Serious withdrawals here. Missing everybody already. Too bad it rained all day today or I might have had to drive back to pester folks even more. Hope y'all enjoy the rest of your time and have safe travels home.

Oh yea. I don't have any meet photos, but promised I'd add a link to my online albums, so here it is.

[nurse.darcy]

On my way home, its kind of Ironic. I think this trip was much better than last May cause there was much less drama. The monorail crawl was a huge success even though the "last" bar ended up being jellyrolls. I leave this trip with many mixed feelings. I met someone this weekend who I will add to my best friends list. Most of my best friend list I will meet with at least once a year. The list consists of those that have crossed my path and made me feel more alive than if they had never come into my life.

This group of people for this meet was NON-DRAMA. Amazingly no drama this past weekend.

Okay all more later. Have a great day.

[bound2travel]

Hey everyone,

I got home safe and sound at 8pm Sunday night - just in time for the Survivor finale. It was great meeting everyone and putting faces and names together. Thanks for letting me tag along to stuff. I had a great time. :cool1:

Hey everyone I am not quite home yet. I just said bye to Matty and I am waiting for my flight to Tucson. I will post pictures, stories, etc. a little later.

This was a great weekend, I am so glad I went. It was great finally meeting in person so many of the people I have been talking to for the past year. The Kona dinner was fabulous. I was still in a food coma during the monorail crawl...I loved how about 20 of us took over Mizner's lounge in the Grand Floridian.

Had a great dinner at Citrico's with Matty, Jerry, Corrina, Tom and Roseanne. Had another great dinner at CA Grill with Matty, Jerry and John. I am so excited to be returning in 11 days with my daughter...this was a great preview!

I say "great" a lot. :lmao:

Continuing the blue bus series, this was on Saturday, just after a ride on Kali, and on the way to EE.

love it! Sorry I missed the photo op...but I was so happy I slept in and hung out by the pool that day. :)

Well Hi all. Had a good time I just hope that I can remember faces with names when I get back on here with people. :)

Beavis I am the one who was sitting next to you at the bar in the Poly drinking water because I stuffed myself at Kona and couldn't even handle a drink at that moment :)

On my way home, its kind of Ironic. I think this trip was much better than last May cause there was much less drama. The monorail crawl was a huge success even though the "last" bar ended up being jellyrolls. I leave this trip with many mixed feelings. I met someone this weekend who I will add to my best friends list. Most of my best friend list I will meet with at least once a year. The list consists of those that have crossed my path and made me feel more alive than if they had never come into my life.

This group of people for this meet was NON-DRAMA. Amazingly no drama this past weekend.

Okay all more later. Have a great day.

I don't know where you get this no drama thing. Andrea and I had plenty of drama with her blaming me for scratching her arm up in the middle of the night even though I DID NOT DO IT!!

Andrea = Drama Queen ;) next year I am scratching up your other arm (even though I had nothing to do with this year's scratching incident). :rotfl2:

[nurse.darcy]

Well, I am home and unpacked and the laundry is in the washer. Gotta do that stuff for mental health reasons.

WHAT A GREAT TRIP everyone. I don't think anyone had a BAD time and most everyone who wanted to meet did. I really hope we continue to make the May meet an annual tradition. I know it was only the 2nd annual but its just sooooooo much fun to have that to look forward to.

Some observations. . .

1. It was horridly humid this year compared to last year, though the heat was more bearable as we had no 90s weather.

2. If you really want to make a waiter or waitress start having seizures then just put 15 of your friends together at a dinner table and tell the waitstaff you want separate checks.

3. Brazilians don't speak Spanish. . .they try but they really don't. Please someone inform Tracy that I cannot translate Spantuguese. I'd inform her myself but she is still at WDW and well, ya know. . .

4. Its amazing how well people in their 20s and people in their 50s get along when we are all acting like children at WDW.

5. Amazingly no one died or was struck by lightning for being nice to each other.

6. Bars in Disney are different than bars the world over in that if you show up with 20 of your friends they just can't quite figure out how to charge you separately for your drink. Oh, and they still haven't mastered the art of pouring more than 2 drinks at a time.

7. Did you know you DON'T have to swim from the Yacht Club to get to JR's? Its an amazing thing.

8. Atlantic Dance Hall is actually fun people. Even if it is a dead night, just add 7 or 8 or more of your bestest buddies and suddenly its like having an exclusive club.

9. Its okay NOT to go to JR's every night. Some nights you just need a break.

10. An umbrella or a rain poncho really is a necessary staple in Orlando.

11. If you decide to do something really fun during a meet it will NOT be necessary to let your other meet buddies know. They will be able to sniff the "party" out of the air and find you wherever you are.

12. Its okay to go to WDW and NOT build a slushie tower in France. There are far too many other things to do to spend a lot of time in France drinking slushies.

13. And this is probably the most important observation yet: If you want to drink cheaper in the world, get to know your bartenders and servers and bar managers. Tip them well and let them know when you will be back.

14. Oh, this is my best piece of advice. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER judge a book by its cover, you might just miss out on the best friendship opportunity ever.

Okay, I am sure I will have more observations after I get some rest but right now its all just a great big happy blur. It was awesome to meet so many of you for the first time and get to know you. Oh, and if anyone is wondering, yes I did spill a little wine, but I never spilled an entirely full glass of wine and I never spilled on anyone else the entire trip. . .really, just ask EVERYONE.

[MOREMICKEYFORME]

Good Morning everyone. I got in just after Midnight...got a few hours sleep, and I am at work right now.
I am sooo tired.
Can I add something to your list, Darcy??
NAPS ARE GOOD!!! and NOT just for kids!!!

LOL! Tell me about it. I had a 5 day vacation, and I spent 2 of them in my room napping just to recover from the previous days. :lmao:

[dismem98]

Since I spent the most time with Darcy I can confirm all her observations. Yes, even the wine thing!!

This was an awesome trip and I for one was glad to get more than 4 hrs of sleep at once last night.
Swimming at 3am i can wear you out!!

If you didn't have a good time it wasn't because you didn't have the chance. May annual meeting is a must.

To my old friends and to my new friends...you all ROCK!

Good times :cool1: :cool1:

[buena vista]

So many fun and memorable moments in such a short period of time! Lots of photos to post, and shout outs to the many wonderful DISsers who made this such a great great great (*used with permission from Amy) time!! :)

[nurse.darcy]

By the way, some of you remember from earlier trips that I am a water magnet. Go on a water ride and I will be the wettest one when we get off. Well apparently Andrea's (Matterhorn) friend Corinna is the same way so we decided on Kali to sit together hoping to demagnetize water's attraction to us. . .well I will have you know it worked like a charm. . .Corinna and I were the driest ones coming off that ride. I will be practicing this technique in the future.

By far the best experience for me was to see someone bounce off the walls more than me at the Festival of the Lion King show. :grouphug:

Tom Rocks!

So did the Norway pavilion at Epcot do anything special for Norway Constitution Day, which was May 17?

[MOREMICKEYFORME]

Ok, Just had lunch and I am now perking up a bit.
I just wanted to thank all of you for making me feel welcome into your group. I know many of you had already met before and already had those friendships established, so it was nice to be welcomed in. Thanks!!! :grouphug:

I saw a large banner for Constitution Day and a large group of people gathered in a circle, but I couldn't tell what they were doing...

[nurse.darcy]

Just Awesome! - So who is doing planning for Next year :grouphug:

I promise to plan for next year as much as I did for this year. . .put up a poll and decide on a weekend. . .ROFLMAO. . .

[sand2270]

Of course you can Ro, and I agree, naps are good.

here is my add...it is ok to not go to a park everyday, sleep in and spend the entire day at the pool

[JohnEric]

So did the Norway pavilion at Epcot do anything special for Norway Constitution Day, which was May 17?

Well, I can say that some of folks showed up at Rose and Crown that day, singing songs, wrapped in flags, etc. We had no idea why they were there, so

*** THANK YOU! ***

for pointing out that it was Constitution Day! Once my brain returned from the muddled mess that it is after a weekend at Disney (returning to the day-to-day muddled mess that it is normally), I'm sure I would have spent much time wondering about that.

Hey now!! I can be a drama queen at times, but the scratch was VERY real. There were people there to verify the aftermath of sleeping with you. :rotfl:

No, I hope you scratch the hell out of me next year because that means we will both be there again!!! :goodvibes
