Anyone going to the Long Branch SDV?

[czycropper]

I was wondering whether any DISers are going to the SDV (Scrapper Dream Vacations) next weekend in Long Branch, NJ????

I'm going and working on my 2008 June trip and that's it! I've already talked to one of the vendors and they are bringing lots of Disney paper & embellishments - like I needed more

Where in Long Branch? How much? Is it to late to get in? Do you have to stay the night? Details man I need details.

It was the 19th of this month. The site says it is no longer taking registrants.


Wait - there is another one that starts the 26th! I think it is still open.

Man that's alot of $$$ to come up with that quick though. Maybe I'll do their little savings account thing, where you put a little away at a time so that the next time they are around here I can go.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I know. Big $$$. There is one near me in KY, but for just a few more $$ I could go to WDW. Guess where I would rather go.

You may want to check out simply cropping. they have some around the new jersey area and pa. Just check out simply cropping web site. never gone with them,but a few people from town go every year. Not sure of the price. I also go away every Jan. with a group of people and this year we went to Ocean City NJ. It was a blast. We haven't heard any of the plans for next year. I will post when I do.

I've been offline packing for the SDV It's at the Ocean Place Resort in Long Branch. If you want to come "visit" and check it out - come on over. Just say you're there to see Hedily.

I think it's worth the money - stay at a super nice resort where you can order drinks to your cropping space, wonderful vendors, great people, comfortable rooms, scrapping stuff is secure, good food AND, the most IMPORTANT, away from the DH & kids for 3 days!!!!!

SDV was one of the original scrapping weekend getaway companies in the East and to me it's still great. I've been going since 2002 and love every minute of it.

They also have their own savings plan which you can add to it as you can so the cost doesn't seem as one big payment.

I wish I could go to the one in WDW - I have scrapping friends that go every year and they love it but I would be torn to scrap or to go to the parks

Does SDV come to Long Branch every year? I really wanted to go this year but it just didn't work out. Will they pair you up with room mates if you are a single? Not many of my friends scrap and the few that do couldn't go this year.

ITA. What could be better than 3 days of scrapping without the interuptions from the kids and DH! Long Branch is soooooo close to me.

We should get a group of us NJ people and take over these ones that are so close. Scarey thought ...for them.

ColleenG - this is the first year at Long Branch. Prior years, actually for past 10 years, it was at Seaview Marriott in Absecon near Atlantic City. We'll see how this resort is compared to the Marriott but I've heard that it's wonderful!

danilynn19 - it would be fun. A few years ago, a group from the NJScrappers group went and it was a blast, there were about 30 from the group and it's still talked about the crazy things that happened including dancing on the chairs & tables - yep, the good 'ole days

 

[ColleenG]

Thanks czycropper. A friend of mine went to the one in Absecon last year and said it was great. The hotel in Long Branch is really nice. Right next to it is Pier Village, its a boardwalk with a lot of shops (kinda high end) and some really nice restaurants. I grew up about 10 minutes from Long Branch. Where are you in Jersey?

I would love to get a group together to go to a big crop.

 

[danilynn19]

That would be so cool we should so do it. Let us know how it is at this place in Long Branch. Absecon isn't that far from me and Colleen G either.

 

[ColleenG]

I think it's called the Ocean Palace now but it used to be the Hilton. It's right on the beach. It probably costs a good buck to stay there in the summer.

 

[danilynn19]

Things that make you go HHHMMMM in princeton, but it's on March 7-8 not much notice.... http://simplycropping.com/_wsn/page3.html
anyone know of any other groups in the NJ area that have ones out a little further in order to save some money up??

 

[czycropper]

There will be another SDV in Whippany (Morris County) in September. I drop by that one but can't really stay the whole weekend since both of my DDs are in cheer comp and they practice on Friday, have Sat. games then practice on Sat. afternoon just too much scheduling.

ColleenG - I live in Somerset County in Hillsborough - I'm north of Princeton.

There are several day crops coming up. Let me see if I can get a list together and I'll post them or we could just get a group together and do something ourselves.

 

[ColleenG]

Thanks for the info on the SDV in Whippany in September. I'll start saving for that one now! I'm in Point Pleasant. That would be great to get a Dis crop together somewhere!

 

[danilynn19]

How much is that one in Whippany? Colleen how far from us is that? That gives me time to save money up. Oh happy dance

 

[danilynn19]

Hey as far as a DIS crop my CM consultant does do them and we can just crash there. She does them at a firehouse in Jackson (you know home of Six Flags Great Adventure?) Next one I'll let everyone know....what I love about her is that she leaves you ALONE she doesn't push you to buy stuff. If you want to fine if you don't fine.

Hi Danilynn, Whippany is probaly about an hour, give or take a few minutes. Let me know if your CM does one in Jackson any time soon. The one in Toms River on the 28th I think is going to be out for me. DH can't seem to change his work schedule. Some hoo hocky about they have to work so many weekends. He had some one to cover most of his shift, so as long as they aren't short staffed I don't see what the problem is. Hospitals are a PIA. I really hope he gets this new job! NO weekends!!

 

[danilynn19]

OOO An hour isn't bad at all. Cool

I will let you know when my CM has another one. I think I am out for that one too, no money.
