We are still in pre-decisional stage as the kids Scout camping trips, etc. are not set.

Well.. only about 9 more months until some of us are able to meet again! This thread is for anyone from our PC Repo cruise who is planning on joining in the fun during the August trip.

It will go quick!

What are some things you would like to do?

Hang, visit, say "Hi!", try the 2-fer DOTD (I can dream....)

What is your favorite thing to do at WDW?

Where to start... this list is long...

Which water park would be best for our own Castaway Cay?

I think Typhoon Lagoon has the look and feel more like CC, but we love both of them so it doesn't matter.

Where are you planing on staying?

Dunno.

Feel free to throw in ideas for the trip!

What are some things you would like to do? Get a chance to visit with everyone!

What is your favorite thing to do at WDW? hhhhmmmm.....

Which water park would be best for our own Castaway Cay?We've never been to any of the waterparks....... I did promise Elvis (10ds) that we would go next time.

Where are you planing on staying? The trip we have booked right now is for AKL. If we keep that trip and *add* this one to our year then I'm sure we'll pick a different resort. Maybe the Contempory?

Feel free to throw in ideas for the trip!

What are some things you would like to do? Eat, drink, lay by the pool, see some fellow pirates, go to Jellyrolls? (Never been)

What is your favorite thing to do at WDW? Eat & drink my way through Epcot! I hear a Grey Goose Lemon Citron Slush calling my name!

Which water park would be best for our own Castaway Cay? I've only been to BB, but I'd like to try TL some day too, so it doesn't matter. Is there a bar? J/K of course there is! Deep fried donut holes too. Does it get any better?

Where are you planing on staying? No where yet! I'm waiting till the 7 month window to book our stay. Was originally thinking AKV, but if we do go to Jellyrolls some night, I was starting to think BWV since I know others plan on staying there, but DS really wants to do Stormalong Bay again so looks like BCV is winning....if I can get a 1BR! We are doing a 3 day RCCL cruise on the Monarch from the 14th-17th so we'll be in WDW the 17th - 23rd.

Feel free to throw in ideas for the trip!

Would anyone consider a Grand Gathering? I know it's a bit expensive, but just thought I'd throw this one out there & see what you all think? From the WDW website:

International Dinner and IllumiNations Dessert Reception

Meet your friends and family at the Odyssey in Epcot® for a celebration of international friendship. Your well-traveled and fun-loving hostess, Auntie Roz, welcomes you to amazing tastes from around the world. Help yourself to delectable international cuisine served family-style, where everyone from Grandma to Junior is sure to find a favorite dish.

As you feast, Auntie Roz and some of your favorite Disney Characters sing, dance and tell stories — sometimes they even need your help! And Auntie Roz loves birthdays, anniversaries and special occasions, so if you've got something to celebrate just give her the word and she'll give you plenty of recognition, including a special song.

After your international eating adventure, end your evening on a sweet note with a scrumptious dessert buffet and a private, reserved viewing of IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth. Theme park admission is required.

Price:
Adults and Juniors - $64.99, Children (ages 3-9) - $33.99 (available 180 days prior)

I would like to take one of my daycare kids to WDW with me this time. I keep asking Mom each time I go and keep getting shot down. That don't stop me from keep on trying though

What is your favorite thing to do at WDW?

taking a ride to Tom Sawyer's Island for some ice cream and relaxing in the shade

Which water park would be best for our own Castaway Cay?

I've only been to Typoon Lagoon back in 1992 for my honeymoon. DD always wants to go but it is either too hot (July) or too cold (Dec-Jan) when we visit. I don't think I will be getting out of it this time.

Where are you planing on staying?

Off Site - Silver Lake Resort. Just outside of Animal Kingdom Lodge access road

Feel free to throw in ideas for the trip!

Yes, Diane. I would definately be interested in that. How many people do you have to have? I sometimes see the gathering at Epcot before Illuminations and think, maybe I could sneak in and just "blend" . It's alot of $$$$, but you seem to get alot for your money..dinner, dessert, story telling & characters along with a great seat for Illuminations.

Along the same lines, would anyone be interested in a dinner at 'Ohana? I would be willing to call at the 180 day mark and make the reservations. I went there with a very large group before and it is really alot of fun.

I have always wanted to do one of those! I think you have to have 10 people..but don't hold me to that!

 

[A Litle Pixie Dust]

We are still in pre-decisional stage as the kids Scout camping trips, etc. are not set.

Take them camping at WDL! I know you have to wait but we are hoping you can join us!

...

Come on! I promise..we will stay up late and hang out in the hallway talking

I'll call & see how we have to go about getting this booked & let you know! If it's only 10 like Des said, then we should have no trouble, but not sure if we can all call & book individually or what.

Yes O'hana was a definite on our list so if I can join fellow pirates for dinner....even better!

We have never been but count us in..that would be fun!

 

[A Litle Pixie Dust]

I checked..Grand Gatherings are 8 or more...

 

[GoofyontheHiSeas]

We still have not made a final decision yet but leaning toward August (less $$$). If we do go then it will be from the 12-22nd.

What are some things you would like to do? Slow down and visit each park on a non-commando pace. Last (and only time) we were there we saw a park a day and did not stop running.

What is your favorite thing to do at WDW? We don't have much experience there but the world showcase was enjoyed by everyone.

Which water park would be best for our own Castaway Cay? Have not been to either. With 10 days will try to do both.

Where are you planing on staying? More than likely we will be at the CBR. We really liked it there and meets our budget.

Count us in. We would just go for the food but when you throw in the IllumiNations show (which we have not seen) it would be a done deal.

Along the same lines, would anyone be interested in a dinner at 'Ohana? I would be willing to call at the 180 day mark and make the reservations. I went there with a very large group before and it is really a lot of fun.

Ok finally something we have actually done. Yes we really enjoyed Ohana and would love to go as a group.

OK - subscribing

and although haven't made reservations, Des would kill me if I don't make it so count us in. I have seen Illuminations from behind a tree so Steve and the girls and I would more than likely be in it. If O'Hana's is the one at the Polynesian, we did it a long time ago but it was only the 5 of us, so that wasn't much fun - a group - sounds like a blast. I'll keep it in mind.

 

[Downrivermama]

We would be in for anything! Only saw Illuminations once on our first trip. We had to go back to EPCOT to retrieve Kaitlin's jacket from lost and found and watched them. Most likely we will be there Aug 16-21 or 22. Depends if we make it a road trip or not. 2 days on the road or 2 1/2 hours in the air?

What are some things you would like to do?

Relax more and not have to shout to talk over a noisy band.
What is your favorite thing to do at WDW?

I like all the parks and a water park is a definite with everyone!!


Which water park would be best for our own Castaway Cay?

I have been to both Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach. As long as there is a lazy river pool.........I am good.

Where are you planing on staying?



Where ever you are staying

Feel free to throw in ideas for the trip!

Even if we don't see each other everyday.............we need to meet up somewhere at night.

Yeah! We'll have to take over one of the resort bars! They won't know what to make of us!!!

You are right! I have to find out what airline you are planning on flying back on..I have to chat my way across the US

Tori is thrilled Kaitlin is going to be there!

Don't you already feel for the other guests?

With Admiration and Gratitude....
