ABC's of Trip Planning (Oct 10-20), Vol. 2- Z is for: Zippidee Doo Dah!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cinderkelly]

We'll meet up someday, Kelly! I just know it! I feel left out too from the HUGE September group. Meets are hard to come by, and that's part of what makes them so special.

Completely agree! I was just having a minor one minute pity party

TOMORROW IS FiP DAY!!!

Woo hoo!! I think we should all start calling them FiP's, it's catchy. We didn't have much trouble at all getting what we wanted, but doing Fip's for a larger group must be more complicated than for two! I know some people don't do the online check in because they like the "check in desk experience" but both times we have gone I've done both because I never got a room ready text by the time we arrived. I love it though, it's like you're really going!! My over analyzing brain struggles with room requests, have fun!!

FiP:

The easy, cool, and hip way to refer to Fast Pass Plusses. Seriously who wants to say all of that?!

Remember @jordanyoshi (who sadly must've completely removed his account because his name won't even appear to be taggable now)? He coined that cute little phrase and it just stuck! It rolls off the tongue quite nicely and is, to me, a sweet little euphemism for them. Plus it reminds me of Jordan. I miss him a lot around here. So "FiPs" is one of his many, many legacies.

Savvy?

Off to work, but replies later and FiP news! There's a lot!

ETA: Jordan's name did tag, just didn't see it in draft. Huzzah!

 

[Steppesister]

Liesa, I have bad news!!! The MSEP has its last day on 10/9! It is going away from WDW, back to Disneyland. Which already will make your MK Top 10 unachievable...

I guess I'm not hip or cool. I like to say big words. Also I never knew Jordan so I don't have that going for me either.

Well then you can plan a trip to DL to see it!

Well, now you can be hip and cool like the cool cats here! Lol! <rolling eyes at self>

You should go back and read his threads. OMG, what a bunch of inane, ridiculous, but hilarious banter!

And yes, now I MOST DEFINITELY am coming to Cali!!

 

[Leshaface]

The problem is that real life has been getting in the way.

This. Between work, health issues, kids, etc etc, even a day away makes it difficult! But it will happen. It's on my bucket list!

Oh, sure. Already backing out of your promise.
Sheesh.

Sorry P, but you must have certain..errr-qualifications to make it on this trip

I know.
I'm not pretty enough.

Maybe if you wear lipstick to Trader Sam's and leave it on for one hour, we can give a special dispensation.

That'd work. I think I could borrow this cute sundress from Elle, too.
I have the legs to pull it off.

My next favorite park:

Liesa, I have bad news!!! The MSEP has its last day on 10/9! It is going away from WDW, back to Disneyland. Which already will make your MK Top 10 unachievable...

Just read that today too. Can't believe I wont just have 1 more watch before it goes away.

A HUGE mess in my laundry room. The slate is ordered and I'm pumped about that, but as you all well know, when you set out to do one project, 34 more crop up before you can do that one. This episode proudly brought to you by "Dry Rot" and "Leaky Washer".

Make me think of the kids bathroom that needs a redo before mine because it looks like that. and it is leaking into the living room.

FINAL ROLL CALL!!!!!

I NEED TO KNOW WHO'S GOING TO BE MEETING UP WITH US AT ANY POINT DURING MY TRIP FROM OCTOBER 10- 20TH! @mom3sonstt, @DISNEYMOON10121991, @englishrose47, @franandaj, @Poolrat, @GoofyFan1515, I know there are others??

We really need to be on the same page for what who's doing when so you can join us if you'd like to!! Please step up now and be counted!!

Steppe

Whooooo Hoooooo Hopefully can get FiP info so I can do ours Monday.

Try jordanyosh, no i

 

[Steppesister]

@jordanyosh Hmmm.... did it work?

ETA:

Looks like it did! YAY! And no, you're right, I didn't see the i. OY! Tried to do something that involved thinking too late last night. LOL!

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

1) FiP DAY is TOMORROW!!!!

Hooray!

Meh. Skip it. I don't think it's necessary.

I'd definitely go for a room with a bed. Oooh! A bathroom too! That'd be nice.

Whoa, sounds like one of those deluxe places!

Liesa, I have bad news!!! The MSEP has its last day on 10/9! It is going away from WDW, back to Disneyland. Which already will make your MK Top 10 unachievable...

So I'm going to go out on a limb and guess you don't get the points for this.

So, (pssst... this is a major hint!! Hopefully, the other game players are paying attention) obviously I won't be making the grade on the MK list (I think I can do all the others, so I'd guess 50 on the Top 10 Lists Section. Remember, it's 10 for each list if I can do all 10 things, 0 if not. For a total of 60 for the section.

 

[franandaj]

What post # are your top 10 lists again? I think there were a couple other things in some park I saw that are closed or potentially unavailable.

I just had a huge amount of time open up for me in the next couple days. I might find some extra DIS time this weekend!

It's Friday, Friday....


Only 8 more Fridays until a REAL getaway.

Replies soon-ish, but crazy busy with all kinds of stuff tomorrow.

 

[Steppesister]

I told DH a long time ago (when I was pregnant with our first child) that one day i'll go on a girls only trip to the World. And it will happen....eventually! So calling all ladies!!!

I'M IN!!! Now that I found out MSEP is coming "back home", I may have to plan a quickie to DLR. Haven't seen Carsland yet either- last time I was there in 2011, they were almost done with it, and I missed opening by just a few months I think.

OK, finally have time for a wildly guessing contest entry now that my clean up of my library of ebooks has been completed.

All posted and stashed away. Getting close now to see how much of this will become a great, big, beautiful reality.

Girls trip sounds so fun!

I know!!! Let's do it!

 

[Steppesister]

We are talking about making this a reality amongst the gals who were at my 50th (but at DL) and maybe adding a few folks. The problem is that real life has been getting in the way.

Pick me; Pick me!!! Real life, schmeal life.

Meh. Skip it. I don't think it's necessary.

I did! Brook did it all for me. And boy did she ever score big! Can't wait to find a bit of time to get it all typed up and present it to you.

<sigh> I don't think I can do that anymore.
I get the "You can do online check in now" notification, but then it asks me for a PIN. And won't take it. I think maybe because I can't get my MB until I get there? Dunno. PITA.

Well, that's not ok. Who knows, but I find that very strange. You should ask when get there for sure.

I'd definitely go for a room with a bed. Oooh! A bathroom too! That'd be nice.

Liesa, I have bad news!!! The MSEP has its last day on 10/9! It is going away from WDW, back to Disneyland. Which already will make your MK Top 10 unachievable...

Yes, that is very bad news. But a great reason to go back to DLR soon.

Completely agree! I was just having a minor one minute pity party

Pity parties are completely acceptable. Pity on...

Woo hoo!! I think we should all start calling them FiP's, it's catchy. We didn't have much trouble at all getting what we wanted, but doing Fip's for a larger group must be more complicated than for two! I know some people don't do the online check in because they like the "check in desk experience" but both times we have gone I've done both because I never got a room ready text by the time we arrived. I love it though, it's like you're really going!! My over analyzing brain struggles with room requests, have fun!!

It's super catchy! Rolls off the tongue so nicely.

I agree, I do like the check-in thang, I like getting the map and stuff to do thingy, and all, so I still may. But I did have Brook put in a specific room request for Bldg 7, facing the lake. We won't online check for AKL as I'm hoping for an upgrade there.

 

[pkondz]

I did! Brook did it all for me. And boy did she ever score big! Can't wait to find a bit of time to get it all typed up and present it to you.

Great! Looking forward to seeing what you got.

Well, that's not ok. Who knows, but I find that very strange. You should ask when get there for sure.

I'm going to ask before I get there.
I've been having other issues as well, so I'm going to call.
