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

[jmccormick]

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.

If I may quote you - OMG

 

[Circusgirl]

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!

Pete

When I told my sweetheart about the big reveal he said, "Does this makes you happy?" I told him that it's a hundred kinds of happy and then some! He will come on any Disney trip if I ask him to, but is also happy to stay home. He definitely doesn't know the details of cool unless I explain them. I know it would be fun to have a partner who shared my enthusiasm for all this, but I have some mighty fun times all the same!

I'm still absorbing the news. I'm delighted the deal got done in time for us to have some weeks for and : and ahead of the trip. The fact that there is shopping is also critical for the budget...

I'm trying to figure out (based on Disney's release schedule) what's going to be playing at the El Capitan when we're there. Disney doesn't have much coming out during that time of the year.

I just checked the El Capitan's schedule, and "Alice In Wonderland" ends it's run on March 30, so the Miley Cyrus movie "The Last Song" will be playing at the El Capitan during our trip.

Well, we still get to see the behind-the-scenes stuff. The theatre itself is jaw-droppingly gorgeous, plus there's the Disney Ice Cream Parlour which I intend to fully experience.

BTW, has anyone mentioned the fact that the DCA Food & Wine Festival starts on April 16th while we're there?

Not sure if this counts as taunting because even I dont know what it means, but....

I just spoke to someone from ABD who tells me that they have added "Extra Magic" for our group that they think will make us "very happy".

On my honor.....I have no idea what this means. I asked not to know so that I can be surprised as well.

WOOHOO!!!

Q: How do you know that Kevin is taunting?

A: Cause his lips are moving.

oooohhhhh, I like extra magic! This would be really cool if that were about us!!

How much do you think we would have to bribe our guides and/or Disney to let us in to watch a night time testing of WOC if it's not ready yet? That would be really awesome.

I would love to see a night test of WOC! I think this would make up for not seeing Fantasmic.

They have pre-qualified us for Disney Visa cards to help us with our Disney Studios store and Club 33 expenditures?

Wooohoooo!!!! Extra Magic is good!!!

Are our ABD guides coming with us to Club 33 or are they going to be having breakfast with Minnie without us? I have a little scenario going on in my head that the guides are sitting at the breakfast table with just Minnie looking sad while they eat Mickey waffles.

I love it! Kevin gets to taunt about something he doesn't even know about and he gets a surprise too!

From what I'm hearing....this is going to be even more amazing than we had originally thought.

WOW!

WOW!

There he goes again. He just can't help it.

What is going to be even more amazing, Kevin? The whole trip? The Club 33 breakfast? This mysterious "extra magic"? Something else entirely that you've not even hinted at yet?

 

[Launchpad11B]

I'm not even going and he's got me wondering about it!

Attention Adventurers!

While planning for the meals that are not part of our Adventure, I remembered the discussion about a group visit to In-N-Out. So, before I schedule a PS reservation that might conflict with our pilgrimage to this burger and milk shake mecca, I thought I would see if you are still interested.

It appears that we have 3 chances to do this. The first would be while were are in Hollywood on the evening of Day 2, Wednesday, April 14. The next would be at Disneyland on the evening of Day 4, Friday, April 16. Our last opportunity will be lunch on Day 5, Saturday, April 17.

The In-N-Out in Anaheim is about 3 miles from our hotel. In Hollywood, there is one less that 1/2 mile for the hotel.

OK, let the discussion begin. I'll monitor the posts and update this message with the choices.

Remember to follow the lightsaber!

As of 2.1.10

Bump.

Attention iPhone users. In-N-Out released its official iPhone app a few hours ago. It is a free download.

The location we will invade is at 7009 Sunset Blvd in Hollywood.

WOW!

You know, when you originally posted that you had heard something, but you were not really sure what it was about and you did not know if you were taunting, I had your back. I really thought to myself, "Self, if Kevin doesn't know about the possibility of a surprise, it is not really taunting, it is just excitement like the rest of us."

Now, with the first part of this statement; you are officially a taunter.

 

[DisneyKevin]

On my honor.....I dont know anything about the "extra" stuff.

I will be surprised with you.

I mean....I kinda have to know some stuff.....I'm the one coordinating this adventure.
