YIPPEEE!!! Anyone for a Mardi Gras Meet 2/7???

[Laurabearz]

Dh and I decided on a last minute adult only trip to Orlando!!! I was very excited to see it was Mardi Gras!!!

Anyone want to hook up and watch the parade and party??

Also is this needed??

VIP After Party at Pat O’Brien’s
For just $15 plus tax, per person, on Mardi Gras event nights you’ll enjoy exclusive access to Pat O’Brien’s balcony and beads by the handful; private bar with Hurricane** and beer specials**; light appetizer buffet** and more.

Darn, we're leaving on Feb. 7 or we would totally do the Pat O' Brien's after party with you. $15.00 seems like a good deal. We caught the end of a private party there a couple of years ago. The guys in the company gave me handfuls of free drink tokens!! Love the drunk business men!!
Are you going to be there anytime Feb 1-7? An adults night out would rock. My MIL and Mom are both coming woth us (built in babysitters!!)

We would but have our 6 year old this trip, not a bad thing but family thing.

Hey Laurabearz!
I'm heading down to visit my family in Tampa - when I saw Mardi Gras and KC & the Sunshine Band on Sat. night, I decided to head over to Orlando earlier and check it out. Was planning to go with a friend, but she will be working one of the beer stands that night...

Send me a PM if you want to meet!!

We love friends with friends who work beer stands!!!

We are hitting IOA in the morning then at some point moving over to US, still trying to figure out the exact plan.

I'll keep ya posted

Heya Mac ((hugs))

Well it seems the parade and the concerts maybe at the same time... The parade is more important to us, than the concert..

well getting a good spot for the parade is more important than being right up front for the concert (I think at this point KC would look better the farther you are away from him lol)

I signed up for the Text messages so if any new details come through on that I will post it.

Any idea if there are any added charges to signing up for the text details besides what carrier would charge?

 

[Laurabearz]

It's free except for standard texting charge..

text Mardi to 64646
I got a reply with a message that said they will send 3-5 message a week and the instructions on how to stop the texts.

We will be there too, but with our 9 and 14 year olds. Have a great time.....

This is our first trip to USO and will be there from 2-2-09 to 2-9-09

 

[Laurabearz]

I have not gotten any text messages since signing up.

If anyone is there Feb. 1-7, I'm tying a lime green ribbon on my back pack so dissers can recognize us. Feel free to say Hi. I have red hair, my name is Teresa.

Our plans are to hit IOA early and grab lunch around 1 at Mythos, then saunter over to US by 3, hit simpsons, MIB, Mummy then scope out the Mardi Gras set up. We are risking dinner at the Cajun Food Booths that will be around, and enjoying the Zydeco Music, All while keeping an eye on the AP viewing area for the parade lol
