Update.......I officially booked POP for 8/19 - 8/29 ]

When does Jimmy start school? Mine start 3rd week of August so that kinda rules this time out.

Oh Oh Oh, can I be the executive assistant/office manager.....

Why sure! You can call yourself the Grand Office Pumbaa if you want!

Well at least you know it is MY thread

Told you so!

Okay I just did a little reading a realized its alot of you and not just Jo's thread...

Oh lord.....you're just fueling Jo's fire, Amy!
The really funny thing is that Jo isn't even the OP on this thread! (yes, Jo...I know you could have been if you'd WANTED to be!)

 

[Disneyolic]

i love you, DM. did i ever tell you that i'm a DM, too? dawn michelle. hmmmmm.....eery, huh?

Yes, I knew that. Want to know what else I secretly know about you? This here is gunna be fun.

 

[sorul82?]

Hey S'late, I've missed you. You don't call, you don't write.

I did write! I wrote, "Merry Christmas from The Barden Family!"

 

[punkin413]

Yes, I knew that. Want to know what else I secretly know about you? This here is gunna be fun.

i'm strangely curious...yet i don't know if i want to know!

 

[KatGarcia]

Wow everyone's been busy over here huh?! I am in the middle of figuring out how much we wanna spend for this long weekend august trip to see how long we can squeeze out of the stay! LOL! If it comes down to it we will stay at Pop to get some extra days out of the fun! Now I just have to convince myself I won't melt in the heat!!!!!

$10,000 should be enough!

$10,000 should be enough!

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

Update.......I officially booked POP for 8/19 - 8/29 tonight Have been watching Airtran and since yesterday their priced have dropped over $200. My goal is to try and stay around $150 for the flight....Some pixie dust this way please!

They don't have Aug dates up yet, though right? I'm looking at either Airtran, Frontier or Southwest. AA is just too expensive - almost $500!

8/21 - AK Donald's Safari Breakfast @ Tusker House (Stalking T ) Right-o!

8/22 - TL/EPCOT - CS for all meals this day. (V you will need to point Jimmy in the direction of the fish pizza) Right-o! Well, the TL part!

8/23 - EPCOT all day Biergarten for Dinner, (Whatever time Jo tells me to be there )Right-o!

8/24 - LOEMH MK. Right-o!

8/26 - MK (Hopefully P & P Party) Liberty Tree Tavern DinnerRight-o!

8/28 - MK All Day (Last Day ) Plaza Restaurant for LunchWe'll do MK after CM if time allows - trying for a 5ish flight

Just wait till he sees my "schedule"... Buzz is likely to have an aneurysm!

Which reminds me.... what is your schedule?

Hmmm....girls do you think Buzz played "frisbee" too???

Perhaps even at a pro level.

The really funny thing is that Jo isn't even the OP on this thread! (yes, Jo...I know you could have been if you'd WANTED to be!)

I do believe I gave her ample time to get it started! Not my fault she's on UK time.

I did write! I wrote, "Merry Christmas from The Barden Family!"

Yes, you did and you omitted the names of the Loud children and I could only remember 2 of the 3 (N&H)!

 

[DisneyJo]

Amy everyone will now think I'm pimping this TR as just mine

do you want me to do it for you? that will help me release some of my disney planning OCD somewhere else besides in my DH's ear!

You might faint at the flight prices though Similar to August for us about $5,500

Oh lord.....you're just fueling Jo's fire, Amy!

Yep that's it, UK time not that I couldn't come up with a good title

Yes, you did and you omitted the names of the Loud children and I could only remember 2 of the 3 (N&H)!

At least you remembered 2, I've dined with the loud family and can only remember K's name

 

[jcc0621]

They did August dates Philly to MCO $114 each way today for my dates.

So between the 2 of you, you've got all three

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

Wholly crap! I just checked Airtran $154 each way from LAX - with a stop in Atlanta! As LL would say, Book it, Dan-o!

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

Stupid double crappy posts!

OK, everyone, I need some brainstorming.

D & I sat down and looked at his training this summer (mid-July) and the wedding of my cousin in Columbia, MO, and the DIS meet.

We are having a tough time figuring out how to do the following:

Attend the wedding in MO, Aug. 2nd.
Possibly attend D's mom & stepdad's big family weekend, if we can talk them into the weekend before or after the wedding (as we did this summer.)
See D's dad & stepmom in the Knoxville, TN area.
Attend the DIS meet, hopefully from the 20th to 25th.

See, when we go to the wedding, we'll see my parents and hopefully grandparents if they're up to the 5 hour trip from their house. It's nine hours from TN where D's dad is to MO, and also 9 hours from MO to the Chicago area where D's mom is. We'll have to drive to accomplish all three sets of parents and the wedding (there is no good way for us to fly to Columbia, especially if we try to combine that trip with other family.)

D mentioned just taking the entire month of August off. He'll have the vacation days, but it's still a stretch to kennel the dog for all that, do all the driving and so forth. Plus, that would most likely leave him with nothing else for the year, which seems like maybe not the best idea.

He also mentioned having Mom fly out and drive back to MO with me (she's done this many times before) and he'd just take the wedding week and drive back with me, work from say 8/9 to 8/19, then take another week for WDW. That sounds good, except then we'll have to take another trip during the year to see both sets of his parents.

Anyone got anything else? Thinking outside the box? Frankly (and please DON'T tell my mother ) I'm way more interested in the TFW meet than the wedding, but I don't see a way out of that. D's been very encouraging for me to find a way to make the meet, but I need guidance!

Thanks!

WTG T. I am trying to get straight through ad $114 each way isn't too bad, but I want to see if they come down a little lower. I was looking at Jet Blue (out of Newark), Allegiant (out of Allentown, PA) or Spirit out of Atlantic City, but for what we would save in airfare we would spend in a room for the night before, so I am just going to be patient. I got $117 RT last year and I booked mid February!

Stupid double crappy posts!

It is really getting annoying....

Go to the wedding, Come to the Dis meet, and fly all the parents into New Hampshire

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

Attend the wedding in MO, Aug. 2nd.

Skip it - you can go to her next one. Of course I'm totally kidding!!!

Possibly attend D's mom & stepdad's big family weekend, if we can talk them into the weekend before or after the wedding (as we did this summer.)

Invite them all to your house instead.

See D's dad & stepmom in the Knoxville, TN area.

Isn't TN on the way to Florida? If yes - well there you go. If not, just ignore me, I didn't do well in US Geography.

He also mentioned having Mom fly out and drive back to MO with me (she's done this many times before) and he'd just take the wedding week and drive back with me, work from say 8/9 to 8/19, then take another week for WDW. That sounds good, except then we'll have to take another trip during the year to see both sets of his parents.

This sounds like a good plan.

D's been very encouraging for me to find a way to make the meet, but I need guidance!

Aw, he sounds like a good guy! You guys HAVE to come in August!!

Really? Do you think I should wait until then? I've never used AirTran - I'm skerred - but the price is so worth it. Do you buy the trip insurance? Help!

Well... Actually, just SKIPPING the other parents hadn't really occurred to us. But they generally don't mind coming here (not all together, though - no room AND exes is not the way to go...)

Isn't TN on the way to Florida? If yes - well there you go. If not, just ignore me, I didn't do well in US Geography.

Actually, also not a bad idea. We could hit MO and Chicago (maybe even fly), come home, then drive by his dad's on the way to FL. It's a long drive, but... It's also a little out of the way, but again, not bad! See, I knew you'd all have something I wasn't seeing.

Aw, he sounds like a good guy! You guys HAVE to come in August!!

He really is (plus I think he was surprised at how much he loved WDW...) I think you'd like him!
