OK, I may have overdone it here with the multi-quote. Copied them from the previous thread too, but here goes...
General
Just trying to keep things updated. Can you take a peek and if there need to be any changes made to the roomie list, will you please let me know. Also if I've missed anyone let me know and I'll add you. Thanks!!! ...

This is right for me!
Oh and Costco still had Deluxe tickets for 269.00 today. Get them while you can, before they get wise and raise the price!!!
FYI - I talked to the guy at Costco when I bought my DS & her family passes last week. Apparently they are only going to have this offer until they run out of passes or
08/23/09. Whichever comes first...
I understand that many of you have done tours already, I'm a newbie and will be happy with any tour since it will be my only trip without kids for quite awhile. Any other newbies have ideas on tours you may want to do? I see that a few of you are ride wimps, who will go on the thrill rides with me?
I will be going on the Segway tour this time. Trying to talk my friend Erin into going on this too. We both have already done WIWF (is a great tour though).
Not
all of us are ride wimps. Tracey, Deb & I stayed late one night & went on
only the fast rides - i.e. TOT, Screamin, Space, Indy, Thunder, etc.
By evil gondolas, do you mean the Sun Wheel, or whatever the heck it's called now?? I HATE that ride!!!
I am totally with Mel--everything but the swinging gondolas of death.
OK, I take back what I just said about myself not being a ride wimp. Mickey's Fun Wheel scares the bee-geebus out of me! I almost came off the seat of the swinging gondola once and became very friendly with a teenage couple sitting opposite my DH & me. I'll go on the stationary ones, but not swinging. And "swinging gondolas of death" is a perfect description of that ride!!!!
Actually I have never done Maliboomer either. Don't really want too, but I guess I would..... I guess.
My DH says Maliboomer is worse. Personally, I find it kinda funny because they only do it once and you kinda bounce down. But on TOT, you never really catch your breath.
1st Night Activities & PFF
theresa.. me too! i bought stuff to make individual candy bags like last year... i haven't bought candy yet,of course ..i've just found pirate suprises to go with the candy. can't tell how happy i am about the trip. and if they don't do a candy bar.. oh well then we have little treats.
OOhh! I hope they do the candy bar again. I showed up too late last time (both to the thread & the party) to fully take part in the candy bar & bag swap. Though there was a LOT of candy left when I showed up.
As far as all of us getting together in one place for dinner.................how about we just make it the night of our opener? Most of us made it there last year. It is basically pretty cheap for all to attend, and nobody has to feel the pressure of an expensive meal later on.
Just a thought, and you guys can flame me if you want. Be nice though.
I am 100% doing PFF again, followed by a group ride on IASW.
Think Friday morning will work again?
PFF was so much fun. Plus, it just makes a darn good group picture. I really hope we get to do that again.
No flaming - I'm good with this. I think by the time we are all in park-mode it's going to be hard to get everyone together for a meal. I do still like the ideas of meeting for pictures and then heading straight to a ride together (like PFF then Small World). It was cool last time how we ended up taking over ~4 Small World boats with Divas! Friday morning would be good for me!
Don't put too much pressure on us. I would hate to disappoint anyone if its a let down.
No pressure. I'm sure whatever you come up with will be lots of fun. I think most of us are just excited at that point to be on the trip, see people again, meet new people and have fun to kick off the activities!!
Dining Options (my opinion)
As for the dinner I would much rather go to Napa Rose than Goofy's. IMHO Goofy's is okay, but if I can have NR instead there is no competition!
I remember, Dawn.
Any mention of NR always perks up my ears.
Me too! Me too! Love Napa Rose! Any excuse I can make to go there I will do it. Just have to talk my friend into this too. Maybe I can convice her to save her Disney gift cards I've been getting her as birthday & Christmas gifts for it.
I want to go to Cove Bar! I loved it there. Last time was the first time I'd ever been. Prior to that, I didn't even know it was there! lol
The Cove Bar was a nice way the end mine and Sarahs weekend since we left for home right after. Lets do it again !
Me too! Me too! (do you see a theme yet?
) I've not been to the Cove Bar & everyone raved about it last time.
I'm just wondering if anyone is even interested in still going to Goofy's for dinner. We still have plenty of time to change that if we want to. I was thinking if no one is still interested (and nobody has said they still are.......), maybe a character breakfast would be a better idea on that day and then whatever for dinner............... I personally am not a fan of Goofy's for dinner, but I would go if that's what the majority still wants to do - but it seems like a lot of people are going to Napa Rose instead.
I think the problem was just some confusion. I got more than one PM from some who were confused because they thought that Goofy's was going to be the one meal that we all went to since that was what won in the vote. Like Chip and Dale last year, and Goofy's for breakfast the year prior. Then some people were saying they didn't want to do it, so the confusion I guess was over whether or not there would be one big group meal. Does that make sense? That's how I took it anyway.
Sorry we keep changing/having so many other opinions, Beth. I think with this big of a group it's really hard to please even a majority of the people all the time. You've been doing a great job even though you say you are "not into it" this year.
Personally, I don't like doing character meals except with my family & friends with children. I like seeing the characters, but the $$ difference for the food you get is huge!
Still haven't eaten dinner yet, and all I can think about is a Corn Dog on Main St.
Me too! Me too!! That is probably one of my favorite things at DL! And you get a discount with the AP, so even better!
Random
Aww, thanks. It's ok. It was a thread on the Budget board about saving money and someone mentioned Oriental Trading for cheap party supplies, and I asked about returning items to them, and no one answered. No biggie I guess.
I've returned stuff to OT before. They actually have really good customer service!!
Oooh, I REALLY want to do the PFF again (well, first time for me!!) this upcoming trip!!! My friend Donna and I totally missed it because of dang Peter Pan
We had our tiaras ready to go and everything, then the freakin ride breaks down JUST as we were next up to get on board............ Note to self....... Do not stop for Peter Pan ride on the way to Princess Fantasy Faire, do not do it!!
Did you hear that they remodeled PP for efficiency? That is a long time coming!!
I had 1 drink at dinner, and geez, I'm wiped out! I'm going to get ready for bed and go ready Harry Potter.
Just saw the #6 movie last night with DH! Was the best one yet!!!
And it's sterling silver!!

, DH 
, the aforementioned DSs 
, and DD 
, new mother of my first grandchild (2 months today). Oh yeah, don't forget 
. We live in Oregon near Portland but are from Arizona. I am an accountant and therefore need to come home on Sunday 2/28 (month-end 
) and would be interested in sharing a room at HOJO. I promise as a newbie Diva to behave appropriately (no toenail flicking, etc). The activities look great and I am looking forward to meeting everyone!
