April 2010 ABD Backstage Magic : California Here We Come!!!

[Dodie]

Punk husband.

Whereas I am leaving him now for Glenn. Whoever he is, he is now my new Best Friend!

I laugh because, while Phillip does "get it," I'm not sure he "really gets it." We saw the door/heard about Club 33 during the Walk in Walt's Footsteps Tour we took when we were at Disneyland before, so he understands it and he's excited, but I think I need to spend some more time making sure he understands how HUGE this is.

EDITED TO ADD: Okay. He's looked over that unofficial website now and he GETS IT!!!!! He's now as psyched as I am!!!

To all of you going on the ABD trip...I hope you have a wonderful experience at Club 33. All I can say is I'm envious.... There are certain places at Disney where you may only see once in your lifetime. This could very well be one of them... I hope you soak up every minute of it and have the time of your lives.

BTW - Is anyone taking bribes for Club 33 Souvenirs?

Watcha thinking? I may know some people.

I'm soooooo excited! I keep thinking about it at random times and getting excited all over again. They could serve me runny eggs and cold toast and it would still be my best breakfast ever.

 

[Dodie]

I was thinking - our quick chat was so much fun last night, I still think we need to have a scheduled chat night before our trip, so we can maybe get to know one another even better.

I don't know how difficult it was for Pete and Alex to open up the separate chat room - but if we could agree on a night sometime in March - maybe that could happen again?

It was great chatting with the folks who aren't typically in podcast chat!

Thoughts?

I'd even make my own breakfast -

besides - I'd really like to see that kitchen anyway - Will that be on our "private" tour???

This is a terrific idea Dodie!

I'll look into it.

 

[corky441]

Yes and I understand that excitment, but here in Canada if your flight price goes down after you have already purchased you tickets you do not get a credit.

Yay for monday!

Well that really stinks... so not fair. Is that because you're flying in & out of Canada or does it still happen if you were to fly via the U.S.???

BTW - saw a segment on the Today show this morning all about Canadian maple syrup and of course you came to mind.

What Chris said.


And also, Jeri doesn't get it. *sigh* I tried to explain it, but I must not have done it right because he's acting like its no big deal. Punk husband.

I hear ya!

I told Walter yesterday that we were going to be doing an exclusive event at Club 33. His response was "oh, okay". If I could have reached thru the phone and slapped him I would have (think Cher slapping Nic Cage in Moonstruck - "SNAP OUT OF IT").

No matter how hard I try, he'll never fully get this. I'm lucky though, he indulges me on my passions with no complaints, so I guess I should be happy (and I am).

Oh, and the European Cruise (like the trip to Australia)...THAT he gets!

Aaron, you know I'm your gal! You don't even have to bribe me.

I am late to the celebration ...

Thank you Kevin, John and Pete!
(and whomever else had their hand in making this "dream" possible. You really are "Dreams Unlimited". )

I am not online one day and of course that is the day you make the big announcement. Bill told me the big secret news last night. I've only seen that big of a grin on his face on our wedding day. Y'all did good! We've seen all the Disneyland travel shows on tv and know that stepping foot inside Club 33 is a great honor. I can't wait!

They must have heard about this rowdy bunch. Thank goodness we'll have the place to ourselves. Then, we can be "ourselves".

What type of merchandise do they sell? I'll need to add that to my list of things to get on this trip. I already planned on doing some damage to the checkbook at Disney Imagineering and now this. We'd better bring a half empty suitcase to fit all our souvenirs.

This is as close as we've ever come to the inside of Club 33 ...

When I was looking for my Club 33 pictures, I started looking at our Disneyland resort photos. It will be nice to see DCA NOT under construction.

This is what we saw last March ...

So, you're coming back in....2015????

 

[TheTXTaylors5]

Will the lake at DCA have water in it when we are there? If so, I'll be happy. This will be another trip we don't get to see Fantasmic! at DL. When we visited last time, it was during the week and they were only showing it on the weekends.

I know you were joking. But, we WILL be back in 2012 (and this fall! ).

We've already planned to be there in 2012 or 2013 for Cars Land. DS4 will be 6 almost 7 by then. I hope he's still into Cars then. So sad to think, my "baby" is growing up so quickly. Bill and I want to see the new addition too. Yes, we're BIG kids!

Heck, yeah, there's water...and no more orange!

I don't know why they don't credit flights up here, that's just the way it is and always has been.
We could have booking a while ago and paid $473. per person each way plus taxes, which btw is almost 100% of the flight cost. So a $473.00 flight is really about $940.00 per person each way.
Now say you did that and then the flights went down to say $500.00 there and back taxes in well they just look at you and say your tough luck.
So flying out of Canada can be a real hassle, however so is driving accross the boarder and flying from say Buffalo. Don't ask!!!!

I am tickled you thought of me when watching that episode.

I am giggling big time now, he will get it eventually!

I have been lurking on your thread for some time now. Not on your ABD but had to say......
What great news you all got. I must say the PodCast crew are the best.....

Hi Jim and Linda,

The special news is that we (The Dis and Dreams Unlimited Travel) have been able to secure an exclusive , private breakfast at Club 33.

We'll visit Club 33 on Friday, April 16 and we'll have to ourselves from 8am - 10am.

We'll have unlimited access to the entire place including the Trophy Room.

We will be able to take photos and buy Club 33 merchandise.

As we have the entire restaurant booked, we will be able to forgo the usual dress code and opt for "park casual" as we'll continue on with our adventure right after.

As we had limited options as to when we could do this, this event will replace the breakast at the Plaza Inn with Minnie.

Wow...This is going to be an incredible experience!! Thank you very much, I know it took a lot of hard work to put this together.

This event is helping me to take my mind off the impending snow storm coming here to New Jersey tomorrow.
