I have to get over the idea that everyone's good time is my responsibility!
I have supplied them with web sites, the Dis, Birnbaum's, and everything else I could think of. I hope I have taught them well.

We (6 girls, 3 more adults and me...not too sure where I fit in)
leave in 2 days.

The girls are 15 & 16 yr olds. Not young enough to be tied to me, but jsut old enough to get into trouble!

Some have never flown.
One has never been on any ride or attraction bigger than the county fair's.
One has been to WDW but can't really remember. 6 yrs old.
My daughter has been there in 2000 for 5 days, but never Blizzard Beach.
Other than my own, none have ever been to a water park.
So, this will be an experience in itself!!

Adults: 4 moms. One has two daughters going.
One never been to WDW or really traveled alot, but embraces everything with gusto.
One has no clue. This is the toughie. Been to Magic Kingdom, but missed jsut about any ride that was insid a building. (Couldn't see them) She also believes that you can walk fron park to park all day, so what are the busses for?

Leaving Fri. from MBS International. (Saginaw)
Ground transportation is a huge surprise. Can't let on becasue DD lurks here. Wants to be surprised with the rest.

Shades of Green for 6 nights. Stars & Stripes 5 day passes.

I could not have made this such a magical trip without you all. From the park hours, ticket options, E-nights, EE days, transp. options, charactor stuff, food finds, don't misses, new stuff, refirbishments, closed-for-good, weather, and every little detail that you shared was put to really good use.

I wish I cold take everyone with me. But, if you are there, from June 19-23, please look for my lime green ribbon hanging from my dark blue backpack.

And be ready for some detailed trip reports, because that is what I like to read!
(Sorry Pop Daddy)

Love,
Penny
 
I'm sure it will all work out fine! Enjoy yourself and have a magical trip!!!
 
Have a great time!!! :)

You are right, it's not your responsibility to make sure everyone has fun. Don't ruin your trip trying. You can't make everyone happy. If the group needs to seperate because some want to do other things then so be it, you'll meet up later.

I can't wait to hear all about it when you get back.

Say hi to Mickey for all of us please.

Have a GREAT trip...just do NOT try to please everyone. It doesn't work. If you have to split into groups...do that...it really eases the stress!!
 

Don't worry!! First and formost, if you over-plan while there, you will stress yourself out. Just let things flow and be okay with a change of plans now and then...if you do that, you'll be fine!

Have a wonderful trip!
 
"Fasten your seat belts...this is going to be a bumpy ride." But sounds like you'll have a great time...Good Luck.
 
Have FUN. Can't wait to hear your trip report.

Wow, sounds like you're going to have quite an adventure with lots of great memories to be made!! Have a MAGICAL time!!!!!:hyper:
 
I hope you have oodles and oodles of fun.

I myself can not wait to go back :)
 
We're flying down tomorrow afternoon from Detroit..........IF we don't miss the airport because of construction as our AAA lady said she did!!!:eek:

Maybe we'll run into each other! Look for the lady with three very tall sons and a not so tall balding husband.:smooth:

My younger sons are 15 and 17 and would probably LOVE to run into your girls!!!:teeth: :bounce:
 
Hope you have a GREAT time!!!! Maybe we'll see you there! :)

You are going to have such a good time! And kudos :cheer2: to you for all of your hard work. My mom was a GS leader for many years, and I witnessed first hand how much is involved. (one year she was cookie chairman!:eek: -only once.) One year she took a busload of Brownies from Detroit to Niagra Falls for a weekend. It was such a blast. This is something your GS's will remember you for for the rest of your life-I've remembered it for almost 40! Good Luck, and try not to stress out!!!(I would love to see the mom's face who thinks you can walk from park to park-what a hoot!)

Bon Voyage!!:wave:

I can't believe it is time for you to go..........it seems just days ago that it was like a hundred and some odd days to go!

Take a deep breath and enjoy your time together!! Don't stress about trying to keep everyone happy at all times ~ you all are going to be having the times of your lives, and no one will have time to get frumpy!! Your girls will remember this trip for years to come ~ but will especially remember you, the very special person that made this magical dream a reality!!

Have a simply amazing trip! You all deserve the best Mickey has to offer!!
 
I didn't read through all the posts. I wanted to wish you and the girls a save, happy, magical and memorable trip to WDW. Enjoy - and relax, all will be fine - you're well prepared. :wave2:
 
We most definatly will be seperated alot of the time. We have numerous cell phones to keep contact.

I'm sure my girls will be on the lookout for the boys. Can't blame them.
 
Have a wonderful time. Can't wait to read all about it when you get back!
 
Went to Sea World San Antonio with my daughter's troop (10 13 year olds) last week. We had a blast! When asked where they wanted to go next they all yelled "Disney World"! They'll have to save up a little bit more for that trip.

Have a great time!
 
Have an awesome time!!! I think it's great that you're taking those girls down there.

We're heading down Saturday - I'll be looking for a group matching yours at the parks (and I'll have my lime green DIS button on my purse!).

Good luck and have fun!!!
