Calling all August Cabineers and Campers, 8/19 meeting?

[liv luvs disney]

Yes, you should change your dates so you can hang with us in August
We did decide to go with a golf cart. It will make things even MORE fun, not to mention convenient!

I would LOVE to do August AND September. You know that money thing-not enough of it kinda hinders my dreams and desires. Oh well. I know ya'll will have a blast on the GC!

 

[PrincessMom4]

I need sure to put the lime green heads card back on my list to get from Home depot. We had some, but I have no idea where they are now

 

[tlenzendorf]

I have to go get some. I have a big one for our cabin, but I have to get little ones

You can find it on the thread here called "We need a way to identify ....." On page 2, there is a large one done by Big Daddy Rog. It's perfect! I'll be making a sign for our cabin, plus some T-shirts for the family.

 

[sharadoc]

Anyone else going for free dining in the cabins? Seems like only a couple of us???

wouldn't it be cool if we got side by side cabins or even if they were across from each other.

Hmmmm maybe we could request it?

 

[sharadoc]

My request is loop 2500, near the bus stop. That makes it walking distance to the quiet pool.

It would be fun to be there with other DISers! Did you guys make a request for location? If not, then feel free to jump on our loop request. I think it's the best for a pool, laundry (which we plan to do at least once) and the internal bus to the marina.

The trip's less than two months now - I'm starting to panic!!! Anyone getting a grocery delivery or bringing stuff with you? We're not sure if we want to go shopping when we get there, or just do the Garden Grocer thing.

 

[tlenzendorf]

Thats funny, I think we requested a loop in the 2500 area too. We are actually getting in on the 14th, but staying offsite til the 16th, so we'll be getting groceries sometime the 15th after we are done at the beach. I can't remember what hotel we're staying at the first 2 nights, I want to say the Best Western Lake Buena Vista?

Hi everyone, we will be doing free dining at the cabins This will be the first time we have stayed here and we can't wait. With a four kids we are looking forward to the extra room and to have the porch for adult time at night. Our dates are Aug 21-30.

Hey, you're from WI, too Our times overlap by 2 nights

 

[PrincessMom4]

Removing all info as I don't want others to being to pin down who we are (privacy issue)

 

[tlenzendorf]

sharadoc and lenzendorf, are you all sure we've never met...LOL.... we have been in cabin 2404 and 2516. I love being near the quiet pool and the laundry facilities. I believe I requested that again. Should we all make the same request??

I already have a schedule of our dinners and what parks we are going to that day plus any extra events (campfire) that we are doing. I have a list prepared for our groceries on the way as we have a portable plug-in cooler. I am still trying to find a battery operated fan that clips onto our stroller. My hubby doesn't want me to take the mickey as it might get damaged.

Wow, we must be soul mates, I have all the same things ready(minus the plug-in cooler) I need a battery operated fan still, too. I want something smaller and portable so DH and DDs will carry them, too.

They have teh smaller fans that hang on thread like a necklace and they seem to put out a bit of wind. We bought the cooler close to 2 years ago and it is a lifesaver!! I have to add a few items that we are low on like wipes and renuzit, etc, but I think we are okay. Plus I have to make our big diser sign so we all can recognize each other's cabin (I will be watching-in a non-stalking kind of way..LOL).

 

[tlenzendorf]

I have my sign all ready to go. PM me with your itineraries... Thanks Shan-man

 

[sharadoc]

Here's our schedule so far:

Sunday 8/16 - arrival day,
evening Magic Kingdom,
Monday 8/17 - My Birthday!
DHS, Birthday lunch at 50's Primetime
Tuesday 8/18- Magic Kingdom
Wednesday 8/19 - AK and
Campfire sing-along and move with Chip N Dale
Fireworks and Water Parade at FW Beach
Thursday 8/20 - Epcot
Friday 8/21 - DHS
Saturday 8/22
Not sure of park that day
Sunday 8/23 - no plans yet (kids pick)
Monday 8/24 - departure day
Breakfast - Cape May Cafe

We were originally going to do the water park option, but I'm thinking the FW pools will be good enough, since neither of my kids do the big slides or anything. We would mostly do the main pool and lazy river at BB, plus a couple of the smaller slides. I think we'll be just fine at FW

WELCOME to our little cult! Sorry you'll miss our 8/18 campfire get together, but hopefully we'll run into you somewhere at the Fort!

I agree - the porch at night sounds great.

Here's a question for all the cabineers - are you bringing decorations for the deck or site? I'm planning to bring some solar lights for the steps and front area. Are you going to decorate your railing or anything with lights? Lots of folks do apparently.

 

[tlenzendorf]

I had thought about getting something to decorate and if we do bring something it will be just some Christmas lights for the hand railing. We don't really have big plans for hanging out a ton at our actual cabin when we're at the resort. I'm still debating if we're going to get lights for the gc or not. They had a set of red, white and blue battery powered ones for $6 at Wal-Mart I'm still debating on getting.
