Leaving our men for Mickey!

[TinkerPanda28]

Hey all you DISers!
So my name is Tinker and this is my pre-trip report for our GIRLS ONLY excursion to the land of D! Why girls only you ask? Simple! My friend Steph and I both have boyfriends who dislike Disney. They are both constantly teasing us for our love of the Disney and what fun would that be in the happiest place on earth? No fun at all! that is why they have been xed out of the equation! No party poopers allowed! oh and I forgot to mention our boyfriends just happen to be best friends so they like to gang up on us when it comes to teasing! to them!

Anyway! the girls coming along are Me, Steph, Elise, and Jessica. We are all in our early 20's and we all love Disney(Steph and I more than the others) The plans right now are a little shaky becuase we are still trying to get organized. Jessica, however, has been hooking us up with some cool deals! First with our tickets becuase she can get a Military discount! and then second with the hotel, she found an awesome deal with a hotel near the park for only $69 a night!!!!! The place is called the Desert Inn suites and may I just say thank you to Jessica for her wonderful bargain deals! I know this Hotel is a good place becuase Jessica said she stayed there before and I trust her judgement completely. We plan on going April 11th through the 13th and are driving down there in my car. I am just waiting for my money to come in so that I can get this trip really started! but that is how much we have planned out so far. It is a good start, I think.

We have a few major goals to accomplish on this trip...
1. to have a good time boy free!!!
2. to ride every ride in the park in two days.

Do you think we can do it? I think we can!

so.. who is this amazing Steph?? that would be me! longish time DISer and life time Disney fan! I made Amanda sign up on the DIS board and now we are unstoppable!! but it took Amanda like FOREVER to write up the first post and I had so many things in my head to write but now I am sleepy.. so I will leave you with some pictures to put faces to names..


here is Manda and Jess..


and of course yoda.. the only boy that is aloud to attend this trip!

and here is me and Amanda and Elise!


you will mostly see Manda and my faces on here because Elise and Jessica arent as Disney obssessed as Manda and I! dont know why?!?

ok its off to bed with me.. sweet dreams of skipping down main street!

Steph (and others!) -- can't wait to read this! Just stopping by to say hello! I'll go back and actually read it later!

[FHS_chick_2005]

Hey Z and Marshay!! thanks for hopping on with us!! im super jazzed!!

[FHS_chick_2005]

so I did some researching on the Desert inn Suites and it looks really cool.. and it says its right scroos the street from DL! so we can walk to the park and not have to pay for parking or deal with the traffic!! that will be awesome! and it has a roof toop viewing deck to watch the fireworks! I want to watch them from the park tho!!

Ok, caught up and can't wait to read more.

Hmmm, all the rides in two days, on a weekend, during spring break-ish...Best of luck!!

Now my DD2 would be crying if she couldn't go on IASW...that's one of her favorites!

I'm almost crying!!! I think we can do it! we have eliminated some rides and shows we dont want/need to do... its tough to be a bug being one of them.. and we have some rides that we absolutly HAVE to do.. and as long as we knock those ones out then i think I will be happy.. and I have a list of things i need to buy that I didnt get last time.. general things.. but things i wish i had gotten!

but I do want to see the electrical light parade and the pixar play parade!

YAY!!!! they still have that Fireworks show going on! We need to go! I have been wanting to see it so bad! I found a video on youtube of it and I would link you but I am not allowed to put links on here yet. But I can tell you about it!! I have the music for it becuase Alyssa got me that 50th Anniversary CD and this fireworks show is through-out the whole park! not just at the castle! Yes we must see the Electrical parade and Pixar Parade. Don't forget Fantasmic!

I think I need to start working on a plan of action in order to get all these rides ridden in two days. it is possible becuase i have done it before at this time of year! we just need an attack plan. the only thing i have worked out is that we need to rush to Finding Nemo on the first day to either get fast passes or if there is no line just jump in it.

I will start working on that attack plan now before I go to work!

Though Skooter may get on before i can post it
