How is everyone doing?

 

[VintageDisneyRules]

You need to be on FB! We can keep in touch easier over there.

That's what I keep telling her !

How is everyone doing?

Cold cold cold !!!
At least this weekend is supposed to warm up. Should be in the mid 70's at Disneyland. So much better than the 40's here.

Howdy, all! Nothing new here. Worked on name tags for the Meet & Greet today. Narrowing down ideas. Did some work on a couple other Disney-related projects I've got going - my photos from my WDW trip in November and a calendar I need to get finished (now that January is half over!). It's a desk calendar in a stand, so the pages are all individual and I have the first 4 months printed up already, so it's not too bad that it's not done yet. LOL

Thanks for all the welcomes! I'm still definitely hoping to make it down.

Right now, though, it's all about actually finding a place to live in SoCal when I get out there in a week. Eek!!!

It's a lot warmer today so yay! No freezing in my house.

It has been freezing this past week! Today was surprisingly warmer and I was most grateful since I was out of the house early in the morning.

I don't know about you but I feel like it's been ages since my trip (sept 2012). I feels like it was so long ago! My sister, DBIL and I are hoping to go next year if he gets time off. He's never been so my sister and I are excited to show him the greatness of WDW.

Hi girls! I hope it's okay to join in, I'm Ashley and I'm 25! I was doing some initial research for Disneyland and stumbled across this thread. I have been to WDW many times, but I am moving to the LA area at the end of this month (eek!) and am looking forward to my very first trip to Disneyland. I know almost no one in the LA area, and certainly have no friends that love Disney there. I was hoping I could tentatively join this meetup! I have no idea what I'll be doing at the end of February (job-wise) but I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to meet up with some Disney fans like me and spend time in the parks (for the second time - I will also be going the first weekend in February). I plan on spending lots of time in the parks and getting an annual pass ASAP.

I hope it's okay that I'm posting this here. I wasn't able to read through the 141 pages of this thread, haha! I would love to be able to join in some of the activities planned, but I can't commit for sure to anything at the moment. Is that okay? At the very least, I would like to drive to DL for one of those weekend days, but I'll really have to see. I believe I read something about a Facebook group - could someone link that for me?

Anyway, this looks like such a fun group of people and I would love to be a part of it and meet some other Disney loving girls like me!

Hi! I haven't been on the boards nearly as much as I was for previous trips so I don't know many of the new people this year.
I'm 24, close to LA (30 minutes with no traffic) and of course, love Disney.
Hope to see you and talk to you sometime during the meet! I don't have too many Disney loving friends who are in close proximity to me.

This was the last hotel we stayed at and we loved it, also we were without kids so that made it a bit more enjoyable!

We got an awesome deal, $138 a night, free parking. I checked for June thinking we could stay there again.... Wow. It's around $239 a night!! Guess we won't be staying there.

How is everyone doing?

Good! I've got my head filled with plans for our family road trip to Oregon and Washington! LOL! Always planning something, right?
How are you?

That's what I keep telling her !

Sarah! Listen to your mother!

Howdy, all! Nothing new here. Worked on name tags for the Meet & Greet today.

Can't wait!!

Right now, though, it's all about actually finding a place to live in SoCal when I get out there in a week. Eek!!!

Good luck. That can be a real challenge. I'm sure you'll find something nice though.

I got home from WDW on December 1 and it feels like AGES ago. I think what makes it worse is I know I probably won't get to go back until 2016. That's my next turn at the timeshare points. Sigh.

Meet & Greet name tags are just about done. Well, the creative phase, anyway. Still have to print them out when we get closer and the name list is truly finalized. 41 days! WOO HOO!

I'm in WDW with only my Kindle so this will be short and sweet. Today was the first day that it was finally cold enough for a sweatshirt so of course I put on my Diva one!!! Wow!!! I got so many compliments! So glad I bought both the black and navy ones!

Hi everyone, I am so not finding enough time to keep on this thread but I do pretty good with the FB page

It's getting to be so real that I get to go this year. I so can't wait to meet new friends, enjoy gabbing and time at Disney.

I have my bus Ticket and look forward to riding down with Beth.

 

[mommaU4]

Hello, ladies! Yay for hunt teams!! So fun. I can't wait to hear all the cool, creative names. Put those thinking caps on before someone else steals your name idea!

I'm going to post the teams on the front page for easy reference.

JUST A REMINDER FOR THOSE OF YOU ATTENDING THE MEET-N-GREET PARTY~~IF YOU HAVEN'T CONTACTED ME ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE BRINGING FOR THE SNACK TABLE......PLEASE MESSAGE ME HERE ON THE DIS OR PM ME ON FACEBOOK.

PLAN ON BRINGING ENOUGH FOR 60 PEOPLE OR PARTNER UP WITH SOMEBODY SO YOU CAN SPLIT THE COST!! IT'S USUALLY BEST TO BRING INDIVIDUALLY WRAPPED ITEMS. IF YOU DO BRING SOMETHING IN BULK OR HOMEMADE, PLEASE BRING ZIPLOC BAGS FOR THE LADIES TO USE.

THANK YOU!!!!

Here are a couple pics to give you inspiration!!!

I can understand why you left us Trudi! I miss the scavenging part of it all, hehe.

 

[QueenDoOver]

Ditto!

And I am so excited that I am on your team. You have some insider secrets, right??? Well, it doesn't matter. I'm not super competative. No matter what Amy says. We just didn't stop to go to the bathroom because we wanted to have better blatter control.. really!!

Happy Saturday, ladies!!

It was a fun night here last night. Met up with Stacie, Heather, Vicki and Daisy down on the Strip. Also a couple of Stacie and Heather's friends. 12 of us in total. We had a party for Stacie, and then went to dinner at Dick's Last Resort. Those ladies are a hoot! It was a lot of fun, and so nice to see good friends again.

Tonight we are going to Tony and Tina's wedding. Should be another good time.

Hope y'all have a good weekend!
