May 2009 WDW Meet. . .

[nurse.darcy]

Okay Dissers, May was awesome in 2008, Carrie suggests we do it again in 2009! I say Yaa Hoo. . .anyway there are 2 possible weekends. . .the first weekend and the third weekend of May. So which is it. . .

[bound2travel]

Either would work with my schedule as I currently have both of those weekends off. Not sure if I can make it - but I'll see once a weekend is chosen.

[sand2270]

I will be there May 29th-June 8th. But I will be with my daughter and already have those first few days pretty filled up so if you guys do a different weekend not a biggie. I want to try and make the Oct meet.

[dismem98]

I vote for the 3rd weekend like last year. It was fun and another must!!

Patty

[englishrose47]

I will be there 16th thru the 24th and would love a meet ! Fill me in on the details !!

[megveg]

DBF and I will be there 21-26 i wanna go to a DIS meetttttttttt

[tsing]

Either should be okay. Need to check the schedule. Staying on-site?

[Carrieannew]

I vote for 3rd weekend

Thanks for posting Darcy!! Hope others can go as well

Anyone have suggestions for specific meets?

[kgle]

I will be there the 9th through 19th so I am up for it if it falls within that time!

I'm there 16th thru 24th!! I am definately interested in Meets !!

[DisneyDreams21]

Let me put the idea in Tracy's mind...lol We were already plotting (or dream plotting) about a May trip so this would fit.

[acm563]

If anyone is interested in either the first weekend or Memorial Day weekend I know I will be there those weekends for certain altho Genesis has been talking about maybe wanting to go the 3rd weekend instead but I may not join him.

[jeffl34]

I will be there the May 10th to the 17th:cool1:

[Carrieannew]

Let me put the idea in Tracy's mind...lol We were already plotting (or dream plotting) about a May trip so this would fit.

Robin dosent take much for Tracy's head to start spinning with idea. Im glad you guys are already thinking about it. Any idea which weekend?

[nurse.darcy]

I think a trip over the 3rd weekend would be awesome. But then again, my dates are always flexible, so I will go with the flow.

I enjoyed meeting for Margarita's in mexico. Not sure about others. Also Jelly rolls is alawys an option as well.

What does everyone else think?

I've only been to the world once, so I'm kinda unfamiliar with the good places. I'm sure you guys will pick a good place... :)

I love JellyRolls, but it's not a place to meet and talk. With the pianos playing it's hard to carry a conversation with ppl. I would op for Mexico. :thumbsup2

Margaritas in May, Tambu Lounge, the monorail. . .I don't care, just like meetng my disfriends.

Hi! I'd love to meet up with you all too...Keep me posted. I live closeby so I can be where ever...Sadly I missed Mexico last time, by one weekend...but met a nice Diser who had a good time...

[Sha]

I like that even better....:thumbsup2

If my dates stick for the 3rd weekend (14th/15th-17th) then I will plan one for Tambu Lounge. I will figure what day works best in the next couple days/week.

I think Tambu Lounge is a great idea. And I smell a monorail crawl after that. That is on my to-do list as it never worked out last May.

Thanks for planning that Sha!

I think my dates are going to be around that Thurs and leave monday of that weekend.

[jadedbeauty14304]

There has been a seed planted in my head by a few DIS'ers.. not sure which weekend, but there is definitely an adult trip for me in May somewhere.. not sure when though... I will let y'all know when it is set in stone. :goodvibes I love Jellyrolls, and Epcot, and.. well.. anywhere that serves a nice little drink or two is fine with me...lol

LOL There are sparks flying now!

I am in for any of the previously mentioned ideas for a May meet. Just looking at dates right now. I think a monorail crawl would be a blast. Perhaps a tropical slushy drink at each stop?:)

[englishrose47]

Hey I don't drink so I could be the designated driver !!:rotfl2: But I'm sure they have Non alcohlic Cocktails . The Monorail sounds like fun !! Tellme more !! Maybe that's what I could drive !!:rotfl2:

Not a problem! Whatever the day is all info will be posted here for all who are interested (or those who want to avoid us)

[nurse.darcy]

Okay folks I posted a poll so we can generate interest. Please vote and that way we can organize the meets should this trip happen. . .

Hugs all and Happy New Year.

[feistygalkmc]

Oh this sounds fun! I was going 4/30-5/8 but after going back & forth for a few months on canceling or still going I have decided to just shorten my trip. I have a huge concert festival type thing I want to go to in June so I wasn't sure if I still wanted to go. I finally decided today to just go, and I have realized by this post that 5/14-5/19 is about $100 cheaper! So I am voting for those dates. This is my first DW trip so I'm game for wherever.

[jordancej]

id be interested, goin the week on the 10th... was going to go home on the 15, but i could extend... darn... hehe

update: 1/12 - btw, i extended till the 17th!! woohoo!! :)
(going May 10th-17th)

[englishrose47]

I arrive on the 16th !! Let me know what is going on and when!!

[feistygalkmc]

Whoo hoooo I just changed my trip dates today May14-May19. :cool1: And so far that weekend is winning :thumbsup2

[kgle]

Well it looks like the weekend I am there is in the lead...I definitely want to meet up with other singles although I could only do it one day. I had already planned on getting a sitter through a sitting service for half the day (or having my family keep him) so I could go be an adult and maybe ride the adult rides (anyone interested in going to the park too?). Keep me informed!

[nurse.darcy]

Bumping this up for more votes!

[bound2travel]

I voted for the May 14th weekend. Now to decide what resort to stay at. Do I go for cheaper (POP) or go for a little more fun (POR). Hmmmm

[tinkerbell87512]

I'll be at WDW May 11-18 so I'd be interested in meeting up with some fellow Dis'ers!

[Sha]

Still waiting for an update on park hours for May. As soon as I know what night, based on that, for Meet at the Poly's Tambu Lounge I will let you know :cool1:

[Carrieannew]

As cold as it is up there where y'all are at it is the kind of cream that turns to ice cream before it ever leaves the cow !!!! Brrsy, dont know how y'all stand it....

Now that's cold! Any the phrasing of it is funny. I sure hope everyone up in the frozen tundra are doing ok. I'm sure they are wishing they were in WDW today. Here in (North) Florida it got up to the 60's today. Started with a sweater and had to peel it off. There is a reason I live in Florida (and the weather is pretty good too - :goodvibes )

[bound2travel]

Got a questions about the May meet as I've never done one before.

Is this type of meet one where we all hang out the entire time, or come and go as you please? I know someone talked about a monorail crawl (sounds great). What about any meals or rides or such? Do we all stay at the same resort?

I'm asking as I haven't done one before and I would like an idea of what to expect. Also, I'd like to make a hotel reservation and ADRs soon.

Thanks for helping out a "meet" newbie.

You can feel free to do whatever you want to do. Some people will do a large group dinner, others just make their own plans. Might be a plan to be in a specific park and go to different rides together or just meet up and have some drinks. Several have stayed at Pop and a few will stay elsewhere.

So stay where you like, and keep posted and you have a better idea of what might be planned. The monorail crawl starting at Tambu is still up in the air. I have a friend that works in Management checking on May hours as they arent posted yet. So will let everyone know soon.

[englishrose47]

Oh a lead on he elusive May hours !! I am excitd !!:cool1:

[CastleCreations]

Keep me posted too.. I'm still interested in getting together with everyone!:)

Last year we had some "organized" events (be at the slushie booth in France on Thursday at 3 p.m.) and other days some "not so organized" events. Hey, are you up yet? Yeah, lets go to Animal Kingdom this morning. . .lol. My point being is that many of us stayed in the same hotel and even though there were organized events, most of the time life just happened. I can Type A plan but am not creative (used to have to be for work). Sha can do both. My life is in sort of a mixed bag of stuff right now so until after the last weekend in Jan I am not free to really plan anything. Last May was the first time I met dissers and I have been having a ball with disfriends ever since. Trust me, if you are a classic type A planner, JUST MAKE PLANS and tell EVERYONE (By plans I mean tell EVERYONE that you will be at Jellyrolls on "tuesday" at 8:30 p.m. and have RED hair and will be with a tall skinny blond and an EXTREMELY tall male. . .here is my picture, if you are there, say Hi - cause we would never miss that). Other than that, most meets are "conceived" cause "Carrie and Darcy" mentioned they would be at Tune In Lounge on Friday at 3 p.m. Next thing you know there are 20 Dissers at Tune In Lounge (by the way, this place holds 10. . .lol). Another popular meeting is at Teppan Edo. . .some solo disser makes ressies for 8 (a typical seating) then sends out an invite to friends. . .those that accept are added to the ressie until the table is full. Teppan Edo is a great place for friends to meet cause they bill each party separately. . .if you are a party of one, you get a separate bill.

I would be happy to put some planning together for the May Meet if some past May cohorts would help out (Sha, I can print and mail but not create. . .lol). . .I think starting a list now and setting a final date at 45 days and then starting the mailings would work. . .ya think?

I will talk to some of those interested and see what works. Then we will figure a poll closing date and an info gathering time. . .give me 24 hrs to wrap my head around this. . .

[englishrose47]

I'm game I particularly like the Teppon Edo idea !! AsI have never eaten there and really ant to !!

I am new to all this as well and I was kinda thinking the same things ....
hmmm monarail crawl or resort crawl would be kinda fun ya a thought ... I am new so what do I know LMAO

[bound2travel]

Thanks for the answers. I'm hoping to make a Le Cellier ADR as I still haven't been able to go there. I didn't want to make it on a day where other stuff is happening - esp. the monorail crawl. I'd be happy to include others in the ADR though. Not sure if I want lunch or dinner yet - have to go check out the menus first. The idea some of you threw out for Teppan Edo sounds interesting as well. The concept sounds similar to a place in my town on Kan-Ki (or something like that).

[Carrieannew]

Just bumping back up
I am having second thoughts on May. But will keep watching the thread till I decide.

[tsing]

Bumping it up..

[scooby9932]

Too bad! :sad1: We're going the first week of May, so can't make any of the meets! Maybe next time. You guys have fun!:goodvibes

[WizardLarz]

Booked for May 20th - 27th, the first of the Star Wars Weekends. That is also Memorial Day weekend. The start of Summer:beach:
Would like Meet some of you!pixiedust:

[Carrieannew]

:upsidedow

Bump

Looks like 3rd weekend has alot of people.

Id be interested in the Jelly Rolls meet or the Lounge at Poly.

Hopefully booking this week.

[DWFan4Life]

This would be fun, but we're still in planning this time, hopefully we will have our trip on May and go on the first week. :thumbsup2

Have a nice day everyone. :)

[feistygalkmc]

I'm still interested in meeting up also. Anything is good with me! I'm still in the process of what I want to do each day, its kind of hard because of the park hours. I changed from the DxDDP to the QSDP so I'm trying to get a good idea of where I want to eat. I had a spreadsheet saved but it was on my other macbook that died and like a dummy I didn't email it to myself. I'm there 14May-19May at ASMu.
I still need to book my flight also, I keep holding the same flights over & over hoping the price will go down even more but I'm probably going to just pay for the ticket later tonight. It went from around $500 on American and most of the other airlines in Aug when I booked the trip. Then I found a flight on Northwest for $252.90 and when I was looking a few days ago I noticed American had dropped their prices and that flight was $252.90 with Northwest & Delta being $248.80. For the $5 difference, I'm going to book American I think, that is what I always fly on anyway. I can't wait!!! I'm so excited :p

[Floydian]

Well, if I can get enough time off work (maybe a 2 or even 3 day weekend) and save up to cover all of the costs of travel (that's about 1.5 gallons of gas each way for me), :eek: I could probably join in on any weekend.

[bound2travel]

May hours are posted now.

Hopefully I can still make this trip. A possible contract has possibly been hammered out by the union and the city. It looks like it'll affect work schedules - too complicated to explain. Depending on what happens, I may be working every Saturday in May (or not :confused3 ). Hope I find out something this week.

[Tiggerbounce24]

I will be there May 5th til the 19th.

[Sha]

Regarding the Poly Tambu Lounge, possible monorail crawl meet, I guess I need to ask of those going the weekend of May 15th -17th (or longer), what is your arrival date and do you know your arrival time (if you are flying in on the 15th)? I will be there 90 min, +/- whenever I leave home, so no worries for me.

Bound2travel - You said you may be working Saturdays, are you available on Friday night (being you may be working the next morning)? Saturday night??

I am leaning a bit more towards Friday, but I want to look at all aspects. So it isn't set yet.

[WizardLarz]

I saw that hours are posted on the DIS Home site, but when I went to Disney.com they have yet to post any times for May. So how reliable are the posted times? I am looking to do more detailed plan for my trip.

[APB513]

Hi everyone -

I will be at WDW from May 12th - May 19th for my first solo trip. I will also be celebrating my birthday. :cool1:

I am already meeting with a group of DISers on my birthday (May 13th) and I would love to meet more!

[APB513]

Oops - double post

Hi Wizard -

I was wondering the same thing.

I'll be there May 12th - 19th and I noticed that there are some blank times for Spectromagic and Fantasmic. I hope that means that more shows might be added.

[Sha]

In regards to Fantasmic, I read awhile back they were considering cutting back some of the shows. So that could be why blank.

Also, I have noticed in the past that the Dis updates sooner the WDW site.

[bound2travel]

Bound2travel - You said you may be working Saturdays, are you available on Friday night (being you may be working the next morning)? Saturday night??

I am leaning a bit more towards Friday, but I want to look at all aspects. So it isn't set yet.

If they change my schedule and I'm working Saturdays, then I'll be working Tuesday - Saturdays. There'd be no way to get down there and then home for work (2.5 hr drive one way). I should know more this week. If I still end up with the weekend off, then I'll get down there early Thursday morning. So Thurs., Fri. or Sat. night monorail crawl would be fine with me.

[tsing]

No arrival times yet, haven't booked the flight. I'm reserved for May 14th, departing on the 18th.

[feistygalkmc]

I will be arriving on 5/14 around noon. On 5/19 my flight is scheduled for 550pm so I will probably head towards the airport around 3-330ish

:thumbsup2 :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2

[Sha]

The hours are up on the WDW site now too, and I didn't compare the two, but they look the same.

I am leaning more to doing this on Friday night (Tambu Lounge/Monorail crawl), but this may change. I want to try to accommodate others.

[Floydian]

I can't tell, but there seems to be two topics for meets during a similar timeframe?

Also, did I miss a post with suggested activities, or should I just do more than skim this time to find dates, times, and whatnot?

With all of the folks headed there during mid May, I'm considering taking vacation time from work just to drive the 34.7 miles each day for some meets and fun, but am having trouble putting together the details.

You missed something... LOL

the Tambu Lounge/Monorail crawl will be a meet within the weekend of 15-17th May. So I guess it falls under an activity for that time frame :goodvibes

We did it!:yay:

Just got off the phone with Tracy sitting here (jadedbeauty) and we are in for May 14/or 15 thru the 19th. Miraculously got the 17th and 18th at BCV so took it as a sign. We are going to book the first few nights at POP or POFQ but are waiting for some discount.

Where is everyone else booked?

And we will definitely be doing the monorail crawl :)

YAY! We are seriously thinking of booking POP for the fun people that we now know are staying there:dance3: Really looking forward to it! You have almost the exact same dates. I booked the 2 nights DVC just to throw in a hot tub.

Tracy says hi:woohoo:

Now I have never done a monorail crawl either.. I suspect it will involve.. many resort bars... many drinks... many monorail rides.. and repeat!

Hi from Jadedbeauty and me! The monorail crawl is just one of the fun and exciting possibilities for May. We also like to do the pool bar crawl and the Jellyrolls crawl at least once per adult trip. Everyone is welcome :)

[APB513]

Hi everyone -

I'll be at WDW May 12th - 19th. I just switched from ASMo to POFQ!! My first time staying there.

I would love to participate in the Monorail crawl! Has the group decided on a date?

No, a date hasnt been officially stated about which night it will happen. I will post that soon.

Okay, third weekend of May, (15-17) is OFFICIAL dismeet days. . .for those who care, we are a very laid back group and meet unofficially at least 10 times a day cause we know where each other loves hanging out. . .for instance, I know if it is an AK day then I can find Tracy and Robin at Flametree around lunchtime. Why? cause the food is good and there are plenty of seats. . .(though Tracy will be dodging all fowl in the vicinity except the dead stuff on her plate.

I'm telling you, I hate birds, except to eat them..lol You got that right! LOL And I think they can sense my fear because they always want to bother me!

Robin and I have made ourselves a small itinerary as an outline of what we are going to do. But will be willing to catch up with people for a ride, a meal, or a drink :goodvibes as time allows. We will not be doing any rope drops, we will not be seeing many attractions with the clear exception of our favorites (DINOSAUR!, Epcot World Showcase, Splash and Big Thunder MTs), but you will be able to find us out at night!!! We have at least two nights at Jellyrolls planned(Sunday and Monday nights), we really wanna monorail crawl(either Friday or Saturday night), and probably will end up at Jellyrolls also whichever night we do not do the monorail crawl. LOL We like Jellyrolls... A LOT!!!! But we are very open to meeting new people and making new friends while on our adventures!!!

LMAO Im not doing all that this time!!! LOL I got looped into helping some with October with Jenroc and Tink... they have access to what I used and I am going to be warehousing somethings that they are doing.

[nurse.darcy]

Well, I am all over May. . .Rob and I will be there for at least the weekend and I am happy to do any organizing that needs to be done. . .I can print and mail. . .just not "creative" so might need assistance in that area. . .

I still don't know how you managed so much last year..lol That was a professional job. But all we need is what you already started--a list, and then we can all kick in some effort to help.

Darcy, my Dis trips would not be complete without you there so I am very happy to see you going. I can't promise any of that Polish purple vodka wine like at F & W, but we sure manage to have some good times anyway. Just warn Rob that we tend to have a LOT of laughs and fun when we all get together. Worst case scenario--we can hire one of those Fairy Godmother babysitters to watch us all (group rate).

I surprised myself too, as I was studying for finals and doing papers, and then after graduation, studying for boards. Im so glad I dont have 6 windows open just for school every night anymore. And the ideas came from Cait... she is the planning Queen.

Robin, Rob is well versed on "fun and friends". . .lol. I met him during a "fun and friends" trip. . .even managed to spill wine on him. . .I mean after all, he did need initiating. . .ROFLMAO. . .

I told him I didn't think we could manage a trip in May and he said we HAD to go in may cause he had to meet my "partay buddies". . .that is why we are going. Come on WDW, bring on the AP rates. . .roflmao.

[nurse.darcy]

Okay, I am offering printing and mailing services. . .I can afford that no problem. . .should I collect the names and addy's?. . .what next. . .do we invite all to the kiosk in France for Slushies at Noon?. . .I gotta know. . .lol. or like my invite. . .Just look for the tower and the bald guy with a stash. . .roflmao.

LOL Darcy! I love the Baptism by wine spill initiation! We are eagerly awaiting the darn AP rates too, though we are pretty settled on POP but will try to get the preferred section to be closer to the drink station mixers :) I booked 2 nights DVC at BCV for Sun & Mon (17th & 18th) to end the trip relaxed...yeah. lol

Then I found out I have a free SW ticket coming if I book a flight by 5/13, so we are looking at Wed the 13th now until the 19th. Love how it keeps getting longer...

Probably a good idea to start getting a general event list going--slushie towers, JRs, monorail crawl...all the usual things. I like your descriptors, btw. Maybe add look for the wild women spilling drinks, building towers...lol

[tinkerbell87512]

Looks like there is a pretty good group of us going! I'm getting so excited! Is it May yet?!?! haha :banana: :banana: :banana:

I vote for the 3rd weekend like last year. It was fun and another must!!

Patty

I have you updated Patty. I actually had to stop reading through the list yesterday to go somewhere, so I know I missed people (I have newest post first and was reading backwards, so didnt get to pages 8-9). That is why I said let me know if I missed anyone.

Monorail crawl will be Friday evening, starting at Tambu Lounge... more details to come.

[dismem98]

Thanks Sha and like I said it was on page 1 that I posted I was going and haven't posted again.
Love the Tambu lounge so the crawl will be fun even it's only there...lol

We will have a blast Tracy and I'm getting my new spiel ready for Soar'n so get ready.
It's another adventure. :rotfl2:

Can't wait to see old friends and some new ones as well.

Patty, Rob keeps telling me we have to go just to hear your version of Soar'n. Am really glad you will be there. . .SWEET.

[englishrose47]

I don't arrive ill the 16th so can't make it !!

[WDmommyof4]

Well if you all don't mind having a newbie around I am seriously considering making a solo trip down there, provided I can dole out the boys lol. Do you all usually plan meals out? I am believe I will stay at POP, but am trying to figure out the cheapest way to go as I will already have an annual pass.

[Sha]

Newbies are welcome. Last year I had a small group dinner at LeCellier. It was to celebrate a couple things too though. Am considering doing it again.

BTW Added you to the list with a (?) in case

I say go for it! It's been mentioned in this thread somewhere, but the people I have met are fun and there should be enough of us at POP and at WDW that weekend for you to join right in with whatever group is eating where, going to a park, going out etc...

I'm waiting for the AP discounts to be announced at the moment but they should be out soon. That may be the cheapest way to plan. We will probably be "planning" things for the next few months just to pass time until May : ) In the past sometimes people will set up group meet ADRs for dinners and such.

[ttester9612]

Sorry guys...I'm going to missed you by a day. I head back home on the 15th. Sha and Darcy, drink one or two for me..:thumbsup2

I didn't join the group till late march, still managed to get an AP rate, bought an AP and have made several more trips since then. . .these folks will have you addicted after the first "group" meet. . .I put group in quotes cause the first meet was "just look for the slushie tower in France". . .lol.

[ttester9612]

Sha, my dates are May 4-15th

You know that AP is just burning a hole in that pocket of yours!! LOL May is the best time of year to go down! You know, because all the fun people will be there then. ;) :goodvibes

[buena vista]

Providence ???

Manchester. Which is only a few miles from where I grew up (if I'd actually grown up, but that's another story..) and where my parents still live and would absolutely love to babysit my darling dog for the weekend. Providence might have the same rates though.. they're usually comparable.

Yes they were - Bad AP, Bad AP :yay:

[jadedbeauty14304]

Robin and I have decided to make it a longer trip since our adult trips are always so short! And $72 each way airfare really helps out! LOL Come on AP resort discounts! We will be there 5/13-5/19 now. Yay!

[sand2270]

I can't believe you are all going to be there 2 weeks before I get there. :(

can't...my DD will still be in school. Airline tickets are already booked too. Honestly think it would be too hard with my DD anyway. At some point I will make one of the adult trips.

Ahhhh yes... well in this case, it is probably better off. So, option 2, find a sitter for 3 days, check out some SWA cheap flights and find someone awesome to room with for the weekend, and come down alone before your family trip! :goodvibes Won't cost too much!!

[sand2270]

You guys are such DisneyWorld pushers!! "Come on...put the trip on your credit card...you can pay it off later" LOL.

[DisneyDreams21]

I love Southwest! The deal is done-5/13-19 now. Yay! This will feel like 2 weeks compared to the other quick adult trips.

[jadedbeauty14304]

LOL OK little girl, don't be scared... it is good for ya... sniff sniff... good for ya to get away and have a little mommy time! LOL:lmao:

LOL OK little girl, don't be scared... it is good for ya... sniff sniff... good for ya to get away and have a little mommy time! LOL:lmao:


oh believe me...I know the importance of having mommy time...that was what Vegas was all about in November LOL.

I am supposed to visit a friend in March or April for some more mommy time...I just can't swing both that and ANOTHER trip to WDW in this year. :(

[tinkerbell87512]

Haha you guys are too funny! :lmao: I might as well add in though...Don't think about it just book it! ;)

[WDmommyof4]

Mommy time? What is mommy time? Is that the time in the bathroom when I am alone for two seconds before someone comes banging on the door because they don't have shoes, a sock, a boogie in their nose? Nope I have no idea what mommy time is, but I fully intent to find out. I have made arrangements to ship the boys off to different family members and I will be there :thumbsup2 . I have to ship them off separately because if anyone one family member kept them for the weekend, they wouldn't be my family anymore when I got back.

[jadedbeauty14304]

LOL ok ok Amy, I am sure eventually we will be in the same place at the same time. I'll stop my high pressure pitch :lmao:

WDMommyof4, I bow to you in the brilliance of shipping off the kiddos to separate people and am looking forward to hanging!!!! Do you enjoy imbibing in various alcoholic beverages? How about going to Jellyrolls?

[WDmommyof4]

I have never been to Jellyrolls before actually, but I am up for it. I do occasionally enjoy imbibing of various alcoholic beverages, although there aren't many that I am crazy about. However, I did fall in love with the glowtinis a few years ago :lmao: .

Hey guys. I'll be at Disney in May as well. Actually I can be there whenever pretty much cause I live here. :woohoo: I'd love to meet up with some fellow Disboarders to hang out. Put me on the list and keep me posted as to plans.

Very cool! Jellyrolls is my happy place. Two piano's, requests on cocktail napkins, singing and laughing ensue. I love the place. The blonde and I tend to sit right down front, and it doesn't matter how bad you sing.... (thats right Tom, I said it. It doesn't matter if I am tone deaf and off key damnit!!)

:confused3

She told me no AP rate on the weekend. She gave me the 64 for thur/sun but still 115 for fri/sat.

Go through the website (AP section) and book it... this is what it pulls up... hope this helps...

Date Rate per Night
Thu, May 14 $ 64.00
Fri, May 15 $ 74.00
Sat, May 16 $ 74.00

[Sha]

I noticed on MouseSavers, I believe, that it states AP rates are not available on weekends

[jadedbeauty14304]

Book it on the passholders section of the website. I clicked on the book now and put in the entire length of our stay and it came up 64 the weekday nights and 74 the weekend. Maybe it is only online that it can be booked? All I know is that we got it and I got my confirmation email which says this:

Package Type: Room Only
Special Rate Type: April - May Passholder Room Only
Check-In: 05/13/2009, Check-out: 05/17/2009
Date Rate per Night
Wed, May 13 $64.00
Thu, May 14 $64.00
Fri, May 15 $74.00
Sat, May 16 $74.00

[jordancej]

I just booked online and got the AP weekend rate, and i just got off the phone to cancel my 4/3 deal. Technically the 4/3 deal was a little better, but I didn't like havin to buy a 1 day pass, and I'm not doin a dinin plan.... Room only gives me a little more freedom if I need to cancel a night at the last min, and I don't have to pay until I get there!!!

[tinkerbell87512]

I think I missed some pieces along the way...what is the Soar'n spiel? :confused3

[ttester9612]

LOL T. Good times.

Let's try to meet up before you leave. I'll be there on the 12th.

Patty, sounds like a plan :thumbsup2

[feistygalkmc]

wow it looks like there is a pretty large group that will be there now. So what all is goin' on? I haven't been here in a while, I've been slaving away at work. I'm reading about consuming lots of alcoholic drinks and singing bad & offkey.... I must say that I can do both of those things very very well. :rotfl:

I'm going to spend some time on the dis tomorrow and Friday since they are my days off and get my loose plan together of things that I HAVE to do at WDW. I am now so glad I booked a solo vacation, it will be so relaxing.

[nurse.darcy]

[nurse.darcy]

I am so glad I decided to log on today so I know about the AP rates. . .WOO HOO. . .now I can GO FOR IT.

Tom, you have to go just so you can hear Patty' soarin soundbites. . .You will suddenly see Soarin in a whole new light. . .its especially fun when there are groups of people around who have NO CLUE what they are really soarin over. . .ROFLMAO. . .I can't wait.

[feistygalkmc]

uh oh, what have I got myself into? lol After all the drinks I'm seeing that I want to try I will probably be pretty relaxed. Anytime I don't have to work for more than 2 days is a huge break for me. :lmao:

[jadedbeauty14304]

A solo Disney trip can be as relaxing as you want it to be!!! I, for one, will be spending this wonderful 6 nights of vacation sleeping in every day, swimming and sunbathing in the afternoons, and partaking in adult beverages and the company of good people and great entertainment through the evening/night. I plan on it being relaxing and fun and wonderful!!! Maybe we will hit the parks a little in the daytime, but with the exception of a few rides and restaurants, my interest is not in the parks! I do the parks when I take my kid! LOL This is all about mommytime minus the kiddo!!! LOL

[buena vista]

I think I missed some pieces along the way...what is the Soar'n spiel? :confused3

Darcy touched on it, and I've never actually heard it, but it's where Patty (Dismem98) has a little fun on Soarin' where she intentionally misnames the landmarks we're flying over (eg. St. Andrews Royal and Ancient Golf Club instead of PGA West in La Quinta). I'm not sure, but it probably started when someone on the ride was wondering out loud about the landmarks and where they were located, apparently not realizing they were all California sites.

[buena vista]

Tom, you have to come. I'll be doing daily tours for Soar'n. Each time different, I'm sure...:rotfl2:
They get better with the crowd I'm with so book it already!!

This is going to be fun. Adult beverages for all..:woohoo:

OK, I'm in. 15th-18th. Couldn't get Pop for those dates, so I got ASMu instead. $240 for a 3 night weekend stay and guided tours on Soarin'. Not bad. :)

Interesting. . .I just booked POP for 14th through the 18th right now without an issue. . .I wonder why it wouldn't allow 15th through 18th. . .hmmm.

I just tried to do pop for 15th through 18th and nope it said it couldn't do it. . .that is wierd. . .

Tom change your dates. This happened last year to people coming in friday. So they booked thurs-mon and then just changed res when closer. So just call back and tell them 14-18 but then when closer say your plans changed. You will be ok.

Double YAY! :cheer2: :cheer2: I am so glad that you are both going in May!

Check out Carrie's idea, Tom.


It's great to see how many people are going to be on the May adventure. I can't wait to see the boards after that trip (trip reports, candid photos, etc...lol).

[nurse.darcy]

Okay, Hotel booked=check, flights booked=check.

Looks like everything is in order. . .I get in at 11 on Thursday, be at Pop probably around noon or so. Rob gets in at 2:20, so I expect him sometime after 3.

Okay, I have three trips booked to WDW now cause I got my son's trip booked on the 4/3 deal for end of July. . .WOO HOO. . .that might be it for me this year as I am moving in September, but Rob and I might manage a quick trip in December. . .lol.

Yay, I am so excited to get to see everyone again. YAY. . .

[black562]

Tom, you have to go just so you can hear Patty' soarin soundbites. . .You will suddenly see Soarin in a whole new light. . .its especially fun when there are groups of people around who have NO CLUE what they are really soarin over. . .ROFLMAO. . .I can't wait.

I was actually able to experience this and it was a blast. Could someone PLEASE video this? I would even off up my you tube account to post it on. With the new cameras today, most of them take video and I think everyone should experience Soarin' as it was "meant" to be. Any takers?

Don't worry, it changes all the time...:lmao:



Well, I will see what it's all about in May!

[ahoff]

That sounds like a plan:)

My gawd girl, where have you been? I announced last summer that I was NOT. . .ABSOLUTELY NOT. . .going to spend another summer in the desert. Unfortunately, my original moving plans got thwarted so I get to spend one more summer in the desert. . .UGH. But yes, I am moving.

[nurse.darcy]

OMG, I can see it now, 20+ people crawling all over the blue bus for a picture. . .ROFLMAO. But Robin, you have to get up early and make rope drop otherwise we only have the "front" of the bus. Later on there is a line for drinks and snacks. . .lol (teasing you girl)

:rotfl2: You girls are too funny! I'll make sure the back of the bus doesn't stay up til 4 am after a night at JR's on the day of the bus shot. Although Tracy and I both tend to get wound up at night...lol

Maybe I should pack a change of clothes in case I end up sleeping on the Boardwalk?

Oh, and if I get up for rope drop you both have to do a repeat of shots in the room with towels on your heads :rotfl:

I'll tuck them away for now with the "Oh my God it's the SpeedoMan,"
"She is in the hot tub with her clothes on," and the
"Oh no that was way too close up" pics.

Sometimes the best times are the ones where the pics should never be posted, or at least held for a small ransom.

[APB513]

Patty....let me know if anyone uses the kiddie loop. :thumbsup2 As for me I've finally graduated to the big person seat...:lmao:

The Blue Bus can be found at AK...it's actually a snack shop. I believe there is a pic on the Photo thread of it.

[jadedbeauty14304]

The blonde (DisneyDreams aka Robin) and I were talking yesterday about how much we love the chicken at Kona at the Poly. We were wondering if anyone would like to meet up for dinner on May 15th (Friday) before the monorail crawl with us! I have not made an ADR yet, so if anyone is going to be there and is interested, let me know!!!

[WDmommyof4]

I would love to go with you all. I have never been to Kona, so that would be the perfect opportunity.

Hi Tracy -

I would like to join you all at Kona. I have always wanted to eat there so this is the perfect opportunity.

I'll be spending the day at DHS. Around what time were you thinking about have dinner?

[jadedbeauty14304]

I would love to go with you all. I have never been to Kona, so that would be the perfect opportunity.
Great!! I tried it for the first time on our adult trip last May and I fell in love with the chicken. LOL It just seems perfect to eat there before getting our drink on at the Tambu lounge!

I was hoping to find out what time the monorail crawl was supposed to start, how many people are interested, and then call and see what times Disney Dining had available. Definitely dinner time, hopefully directly before everyone meets at the Tambu lounge to start the monorail crawl. :goodvibes

After about 2 lapu lapus I imagine :rotfl:

We should find out the time though.

[NJGuy3]

Me too. Love Kona's or Ohana's!!

I would agree...Kona and Ohana's are great restaurants, haven't been to Ohana's since '05...
The Coconut Almond Chicken and Macadamia Nut&Chive-crusted Mahi-mahi at Kona are excellent choices, tried them both during the same seating...:thumbsup2

I havent set a time yet for the monorail crawl.... will post that soon. I am checking on a few other things.

And I got all the ADRs I wanted 2 weeks ago when it opened up for the 90 day window :cool1: Looking forward to a great trip!

[jadedbeauty14304]

OK, for those interested we have an ADR at Kona on the 15th for 6:50 pm. There are still spots open if anyone else is interested. Also, we can always call and grab another ADR for another table if needed! PM sent to those who expressed interest.

A very diverse and fun group of us so far. This is going to be a fun evening!
