GO FOR IT, KATHY......ALL YOURS !!!

He wouldn't know what hit him.

 

[Dodie]

Hi Kathy and Susan!

I am kinda bummed that all of the cool kids are coming to the Indy meet and *I* can't be there this year. BUT we'll be in WDW at the Poly, so I'll probably get over it.

Hi Kevin!

Hi Jason! (Don't want you to get a complex or anything.)

 

[miss missy]

Oh, Gawd.... I'm gonna need some insulin from all the sweetness flying around here...

Good to see rule #8 is working Be sweet my dear children!

 

[miss missy]

Hi everyone, we are very excited as well for this trip!!! What are everyone's pre/post trip plans? We are thinking of adding on a few days prior to tour. Perhaps flying into San Francisco first to visit the Disney Museum and then spending a couple extra days in hollywood to do some studio tours?

Would love to hear what others are planning!!

We are tossing up the idea of hitting some CA beaches post trip... it is DD break the week after so it is wide open for us, just how much $$ can I swing for it?? Hmmm

 

[miss missy]

Listening to the show right now, they are talking ABD now

Oh it sounds better and better!!

And Kevin says he is stealing the Marry Poppins Hat from the archives So looks like we do need to bring bail money.

Oh and bring extra clothes for the Disney Archive day, looks like a couple guys are going to need them!!

We also will get a lesson from John as to where Rainbows come from!


I say we start a bail money fund NOW!!

And before I confuse anyone... DD Khalee has been begging and begging me to take her to CA for a couple years now. When this trip came up, she freaked and said she wanted it for her Bday, xmas, and that she wanted nothing nothing else all year!! LOL! So even though her bday is Sept 22, she will turn 16 this year, this is her sweet 16 gift. I just wanted to be clear that her bday is not during the trip, just celebrating it then. I have to kick myself too, because I absolutley swore I was NOT doing any big sweet 16 for her. BUT I have to be honest, this is just as much for me as for her

Thats great you have the free time after, I think the beaches sound like a wonderful plan. We drove the coast the last time we were in California and the beach areas were incredible!!!

 

[corky441]

I was thinking Vegas as well but Chris is worried I will blow the budget before we even get to California!!!

OMG - I never thought of that - hate to see us panhandling out on the corner of Hollywood & Vine. Perhaps a few days in the San Diego area would be better. I really want to go to the zoo anyway - I think that will be the cheaper alternative

 

[Dodie]

I think our group will be filling up quickly now that I'm listening to the podcast today! So very, very excited!!!!!

Kevin and Pete were so funny about the events of the trip, especially the shopping at the imagineering shop and the big new event - the tour of the archives. "Nobody gets into the archives."

I got to listen to a few minutes of the show. I can see dropping some serious $$$ in the Imagineering store. I've been known to powershop. I think Pete will be giving me lessons.

Now the Archives sounds like a different story. Why am I picturing added Disney Security and archive sniffing dogs on the day we're there?

I am seriously excitied for this trip also, Dodie. You and I will be jumping around like 2 six-year olds. Phillip and Ann will be standing in the corner shaking their heads.

 

[Dodie]

Phillip and Ann will be standing in the corner shaking their heads.

I believe that this is probably a very accurate prediction - until we get to the imagineering store. If there is any merchandise related to the Haunted Mansion, stay out of his way!!!!

Yay!!! DH booked for the 2 of us tonight!
I can't wait.
I will be lining up the babysitter by the end of the week.
I can't believe I get a whole week with DH and friends minus the children.
I love them, but a break is a wonderful thing.

Nuh-uh... Now 4!!!!! My wonderful husband is willing to part with me for a week. I sadly will have to go alone, all my friends are cheapskates. I will assume that someone will be nice to me while I vacation with 39 of my new non-cheapskate friends.

Whoo-hooo!!!
