Hi Everyone! Can hardly believe we've only got 40 days to wait as of today!!! I'm so excited!
Just checking in to see if our ADRs are all finalized -- did we decide against a Rose and Crown lunch of any kind on Sat Dec 7??

Also how do you all feel about purchasing photo pass plus for the pictures/ ride pics? If we pre purchase it is $149 -- split between 5 of us it should be very cost effective - only about $40 ea
But someone has to be tech-sauvy and able to burn copies for the rest of us -- which is not me, LOL! I am not one bit tech-sauvy!

I like pp+ as I'm not the greatest at carrying a camera with me or being able to get the best photo ops! What do you all think?

Dawn and I are so excited! We just booked La Nouba for Dec 5!!!! 5 yrs going to WDW and I've never had the chance to see it yet! We both love cirque du soleil, so we are excited to see this Disney Exclusive show! We'll grab a quick bite to eat at DTD that night couldn't pass up the great price -- $69 for Cat 2 cirque club members

 

[chimo2u]

Lol! Linda! hope your back is healing!!! We've only got 39 days tomorrow!!! We better get cracking with those posts lol!

I loved La Nouba when we saw it several years ago - we had fabulous seats!

Since the 5th was HS day, when will you see the Osborne Lights? Definitely do not want to miss that as it is the last year for a while!

 

[Minnie&Nana]

Lol! Linda! hope your back is healing!!!
We've only got 39 days tomorrow!!! We better get cracking with those plans, lol

I think the plans were pretty much figured out...see the above ADR and park list...same as always. .

Ohhh....maybe you meant FP+?

Dawn, if you look at the top of the thread, you will,see "Thread Tools" that is a drop down and you can choose "subscribe". Then you can choose to receive an email when someone posts or just click on "User CP" (above left) and you will see any threads you have subscribed. Then just click on "last page" and it will take you to the latest posts. Easier than it sounds, promise! (p.s. I am Christine, one of the original Grannies...but am wearing a huge boot for severe achilles tendonitis and would not be able to walk through the parks, so had to cancel. )

So Dawn what is your "must do" while we're there? Mine is the story tellers (Santas) in Epcot.

Well, I am not Dawn but after 5 years of Mousefest I still have not see the Santas - there was never time because they were not on a schedule that made it easy to go from country to country. Hope you see them this year, Linda! Seeing them would be on the top of my list!

OMG! I forgot about that! Well we (Dawn and I) will just have to get to DHS again for that because it is a must -see! And no way I'm missing seeing them! I've never seen the lights and it's definitely a must-do Thank goodness for park hoppers and thanks for the reminder Christine!

 

[chimo2u]

-- auto corrected, meant posts! Lol - As for FP+??? I could use some serious help with those!!! I've never felt more confused planning my park time as this new system has made me feel!!

 

[Minnie&Nana]

Marie, reign in the over planner in you, my friend!! Remember, this trip is to see the parks during the holidays and let Dawn enjoy a slower pace her second time around.

 

[Janet B]

TGIF!!


Christine, so sorry about your having to cancel. We'll miss you!

Just wanting to say hi This will be my second trip with chimo2u This is a last minute thing She is my best friend. I am looking forward to meeting you all. Let the partying begin. I am not much into the scary rides. I leave that for the brave at heart. I want to experience all the things I didnt the last time but that is going to be hard. But I am truely wanting this girl trip as I have never done one with friends IkIRL yet alone with.strangers Let the good times roll

Hi Dawn Welcome! I'm one of the wannabee's on the trip So sorry it's taken me a while to welcome you, my life is very hectic lately with work demands, family visiting and my DD's marching band schedule (and of course my own imposed activities)

Well I love almost all the rides/attraction but very few, so I am happy going on most anything and will go with the flow. So happy you are joining in with this motley crew.

This is a GREAT group of ladies!! I am so looking forward to December and "meeting" you all in person!

Looks like I may be having to do the thrill rides with Janet, lol!! Hoping you two will be able to join us on some -- remember how much you LOVED space mountain, Dawn
No matter what this trip holds we will have a blast! Hope your back is better ASAP Linda!

Marie, you can count on me! With Linda's back being a little out of whack you may be my EE buddy... although Linda may a good coaster can "adjust" that back for you!

Glad I was able to help and that it worked! We will have to discuss what attractions we want. I did do AK for Wed Dec 4th. Didn't I send the times to you in an email? Janet is working on getting her FP+ to work. My choices for HS on Thurs Dec 5th would be Toy Story and Tower .... I don't really have a pick for the 3rd one. Ideas/opinions/suggestions anyone?

Linda, have not had a chance to try FP+ but will do so this weekend.

Hi BFF I am one of those strangers !!I am the shy quiet, reserved one

WHAT?? Have you made Dawn aware of your spontaneous Pole Dancing exploits??

Iam all for it but I am even technically challenged !!When I interviewed for the Site Supervisor position , they ask that QUESTION .What are your weaknesses ?? I did not hesitate " Computors " Carol interviewed me and still remembers .Sharing a funny !! Carol was my PM at the time and she said to "bullet" things and showed me a paper with them on !! I could not figure out how to do it so I penned them in after !!Carol about died laughing !!

We know you weren't....and we all ARE!!

Marie, reign in the over planner in you, my friend!! Remember, this trip is to see the parks during the holidays and let Dawn enjoy a slower pace her second time around.

Actually La Nouba was Something Dawn said she'd really like to do. And Dawn, slower pace??? NO, it was supposed to be me slower paced, lol --- I have a hard time keeping up with Dawn and her pace is go-go-go! I'm sure we will fit in what we want to do, and hopefully We will still get to see Osborne lights
