20031117--November 17, 6 Kitchen Sink Party--INDEXED

[KDawnLily]

We arrive at WDW on Nov. 7. We can try to get on the waiting list when we get there.
(I'm sure that one or two of the CM's are starting to recognize my voice....I hardly get 8pm Specialty cruise for Nov... out and a couple of times they have chimed in.. the 17th?)

I have posted the link to our Kitchen Sink Meet on the 'who's going in November' thread. We may see more Dis'ers yet.

Only 51 more days till We check in....
wooohoooo

 

[lizdotcom99]

I think they know my voice too!!!!

[KdawnLily's Mom]

If anyone can help me with this... Do we need to make a PS for Beaches and Cream for this night or just walk in?

 

[lizdotcom99]

I will also let them know that we are planning a "party" there and will be expecting lots o people!!!

[zulaya]

I am guessing that no one else has had any luck snagging another boat? I still call periodically. I wish one of those other 3 people would cancel their trips It sure would make it easier for us

 

[lizdotcom99]

No luck yet, but I will keep trying!! I also plan to get on the waiting list once on property. I will be there the 15th of November. If anybody gets there before that and would like to get on the waiting list...please feel free to do so, but you must be on property to get added to the list. It also might not be a bad idea to get some names and numbers of people who would like to be able to contact one another in case somebody gets lucky with that other boat. If you would like to be on a call list, please contact me with your name, where staying and cell phone number (optional). This information will be used for the purpose of getting another boat so that you may be contacted of a change. Also with your info please include your arrival date and if you would be willing to get on the waiting list. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me by way of email or PM.

Zulaya, how many do you have for your boat????12??? I am quite sure we could fill another given the opportunity to get one.
I'm gonna keep on trying!!

I *think* the groups that are on the boat my DH got are;

zulaya - 4 people
barbeml - 6 people
Kdawnlily - 2? - but I seem to remember that she might be bringing another person and if so that might put us over the limit.

I know lizdotcom99 and fixintodie, both groups of 2, offered to give up spots.

We probably should finalize this list now since October is tomorrow.

Liz - sending you a PM with my cell. I am at BCV on November 15th same as you I think.

 

[KdawnLily's Mom]

Yes, we are going to have one more - my DGS who is 5-well- I guess he will be 6 then. I think that liz or fixin could take those spots of ours if we don't get that second boat. I am going to put us on the waiting list when we get there on Nov 7. Anything can happen in 10 days... so we will give liz a call if we get that 2nd boat before your arrivals. I'm sure we could get some more if we had that second boat. We can even check out the cruise central thread- let people know that if we get that second boat we may have a couple of spots available and if they would like to join our party they are more than welcome.

[zulaya]

I know there are a couple other people on cruise central that were looking for our date as well. Well, we'll keep trying. KDawnlily, I hope you have some great luck with getting there on November 7.

 

[lizdotcom99]

I found out that they do not take PS, but I was able to "warn" him of all of us crazy DISers looking to have a good time on the 17th. I let him know that there would be some of us dining there for dinner at 6 and more expected sometime between 6:30 and 7 is and then a bunch catching a crusie at 8:15. He said he could not really reserve anything for us...but would make all management aware that we would be there and try to make some sort of accomodations. He was very nice and accomadating, considering the scenerio. I told him that the Kitchen Sink was definately on our list of things to do!!!! I also tried for another boat and well.....you all know that story. It seems as though there are several of us all trying to get a second boat that day....as there is another group having the same problem as us. Oh well, here's hoping...but I am getting very excited to meet all of you at B&C. Anybody else care to meet us at Beaches and Cream...still working on that head count!!

[zulaya]

Hey all, I am guessing that since there hasn't been any activity on this thread, that we still don't have that 2nd boat. Drat.

Since we are 3 weeks away from the day most of us arrive, I'd like to ask that we decide who is going with my and my group. barbeml has 6 in her party and I have 4 in mine. Kdawnlily has a party of 3 now and from what I understand has bowed out. So lizdotcom99 or fixintodie, which of you couples are coming?

And then, not to bring it up in a weird way, but what is everyone comfortable with in terms of sharing the cost? Do you want to do it the night of the event? Not trying to pressure anyone, just wanting to get it clear before we all leave and such.

 

[barbeml]

I have confirmed with my group that everyone does indeed want to do this...and all are excited about it. (Just ordered my DIS tee shirt!). My SIL assures me that when my nephew is prepped for "evening events," he is good about taking a nap. The only possible glitch is if her Mom has to fly back home unexpectedly to attend to her Dad--he is a cancer patient and has had some ups and downs lately. That would make our group 5.

As of now we are a go for the six, and paying that evening would be no problem at all...and probably best, since it will be definite and you won't have to worry about "refunding or billing."

 

[lizdotcom99]

Greg and I are happy just to meet everyone at Beaches and Cream and heckle from above. Should you have trouble filling the boat.....we would certainly be able to give a hand with that at the last minute!!!!

 

[KDawnLily]

Mom and I have opted out of the 1st boat, given that I wasn't able to snag that second.. but with that said.. If I do snag a second Everyone is in a Boat.... I'm still hopeful that when I arrive and get on that waiting list.. maybe.. just maybe there will be a boat available...
then our party of 3 becomes a party of 5 and we will have room for 7 more.

fingers crossed.. toes crossed.. pixie dust is flying.

We will definitely see everyone at the Beaches and Cream- We will be wearing our Dis T's also.

 

[fixintodie]

Sorry to be so late getting back to you but we've been in Florida on a non-Disney trip to Tampa for a wedding. DW and I will be at the Beaches and Cream affair and would like to go on the cruise if there's room. Our DIS t-shirts arrived while we were gone so we'll be somewhat identifiable by them and my Off Kilter hat.

 

[disneydude]

Myself, my DW and 3 yo DD will be at the world from 11/14 - 11/25. We will try to attend the Beaches and Cream fiasco. We have PS for 1900 at 1630hrs., so we are not sure if we can pull off the B&C meet. If you guys get a second boat, or need help filling the first boat let me know, we would really love to be a part of that.

Thanks, Bill

 

[lizdotcom99]

Hi Everybody,
I just wanted to let you know that we will not be able to attend the DIS meet that was planned. Due to some old reoccuring ankle problems I am having, we have canceled our trip. It has been a pretty upsetting day here. Anyway I am hoping that all of you will have a wonderful trip and have a scoop of icecream for me!!!!! Should anyone be needing a great priced BWV, please let me know as we need to use our points by the end of November!!! Enjoy!!! I will miss meeting all of you!!!
Liz

 

[zulaya]

Bummer! We will miss meeting you!!!

 

[disneydude]

Sorry to hear about the bad luck. We'll send some pixie dust your way.

 

[lizdotcom99]

Just make sure you all write great trip reports so that I may be there in spirit with you all!!!!! Can't wait to hear about it all!!!

Liz
