I can't wait to see everyone again. I know we'll get to see some of you before DAP, but having "everyone" together is always a blast. I miss you guys.

I need another new set of friends - who SLEEP on occasion!

Eh, I can sleep when I'm dead, huh?

Thanks a million Todd! That ties it all together.

Awwww......you big sap!

After everything we ate this past weekend I am a "BIG" sap! I'm exercising somehow, someway tonight.

Me too! I'm going to at least run and hit the gym. Still feeling a little blah though.

 

[baby1disney]

Hey, I'm strictly right handed!

<---Just shakes her head

Sounds like someone is fishing for a DIS Husband. I'm always available, pending approval from the harem.

Hmmmm.... I don't want to cause any troubles....but ok!! LMAO!!!

Clearly you are a newlywed. My DH plans to drop me off at the door so he doesn't have to pay for parking. I'll be lucky if he stops instead of just slowing down enough for me to open the door and jump out.

Yes...how did you know I was a newlywed?!?! Is it that obvious?!?! He's always been like that. We've been together for 3yrs and he's still the same way...drives me nuts. Although, I must say this: DH letting me go alone on this trip is a B-I-G step for him. Usually we do everything together and this is going to be the first away trip for either of us.

I would love to do GKTW!!! That place seems awesome!!!

I do have a question..yes..yes..yes..I know!! Terrie has another question..go figure!! But, are there any shuttles/taxis that will take you to your hotel off-site? I made a ressie at the Hoilday Inn by DTD. I work for that chain and I get a great discount. I'm just tryin to figure out if it would be cheaper to stay on site and get the ME or this way. Any ideas would help tremendously!! (however you spell that...only on my first cup!!)

 

[shellyminnie]

Can I drive!

 

[maroo]

Ok, I'm there! Time and place so Todd can get it on the spreadsheet! Who is driving me??

That is going to be my issues also. I'm going to have no car. Hopefully it will work out for me to go.

I will probably most definitely be going so you guys can ride with me!!

Outstanding video, Mary! I'm there.

Aw! Thank you, Lorie! It was fun to put together. And I am still not sick of that song!

I am so very glad to hear this event is still on. It is high on my list.

Wow! Thanks for all of the responses!! The GKTW "meet" is going to be awesome!

I know we don't have a date and time yet and we have a lot of time to figure out transportation. I know I will have a car and several of us will have a car and IF we didn't have enough space in a car, we could always split a cab several ways.

Dave Parfitt is going to organize us with this!

I'm thinking about staying thru Sunday night so we can do MVMCP then bcs I want to be able to see yea ha bob on Thursday.

Bummer I won't be there on Thursday!

Not sure where to put GKTW?

 

[dpuck1998]

Friday or Saturday early maybe?

 

[baby1disney]

Saturday looks good...but I would have to ride with someone as well....if someone doesn't mind!!

You could take a Mears shuttle van. It will cost you $33 round trip. You don't need a reservation (although you can make one if you want to). They have check in counters on the same level as the car rental counters. It is one level below bag claim.

You missed GKTW - I think Dave was looking at Saturday morning.
Now that you put everything in date order, I just realized I am missing the CP!!! Now I'm in a quandary... what to do, what to do. I've never seen CP before but I really didn't want to miss the Osborne Lights either. I need more days in my vacation.

I have not done either myself. Dependent upon what the crew has in store, I might think about seeing the O Lights on Saturday before whatever they have planned, assuming it is in the evening.

We'll have to talk to Dave and see what he is able to set up for us.

And I think there was a thread or something posted about being a Voluntourist. Can't just show up and surprise them.

 

[katscradle]

Well folks, it looks like DH and I will be at DAP! I am so very excited!
With all the medical bills coming in I really thought that we would never get to WDW anytime soon after our upcoming Sept. trip. Since it had allready been paid for when all the scary medical stuff happened. (did that make any sense )
Anyway, all of a sudden my father has gifted us some money. I am so shocked by it, shocked and relieved. It puts us out of debt and still have leftover. Sooooo! With our debts paid and our emergency fund back in place, DAP HERE WE COME!

Thanks Dodie. Stacy is staying at POR and she brought up the Yeehaa Bob idea with strong approval from me. It was my plan to do Osborne Lights on Thursday with Deb since DATW and "The Party" will be Friday and Saturday and I wanted to fit Osborne in before we left Sunday late day. I believe Stacy is going to start a list for Yeehaa at some point and it could possibly be a combo list with OL/Yeehaa Bob. We'll get together on this in time.

Schedule would be something like this.

Thursday - 12/10
5:30 - Meet at DHS entrance
6:00 - Osborne Lights @DHS
7:30 - Transportation to POR
8:30 - Yeehaa Bob @POR River Roost Lounge

It is my guess that we cannot have any area reserved for us unless we send out stakeholders early to save chairs. My suggestion is those that want to sit together need to get there early so we can command a space. All bets are off after 8:00/8:30 and it could more than likely be standing room.

If anyone else has any experience saving space for the Bob show sharing that info would be appreciated.

Krissy, I am so glad you and your DH will be there.
I can't wait to see you again. I am also looking forward to meeting your DH.

George, keep me posted on when things are going to be happening, John and I would love to do these things with everyone!

If she can get her company discount at the hotel, the added $33 may still be a better deal.

CP (especially if you've never done it before) and the Osborne Lights are not to be missed. The Osborne Lights stay on after the park closes. As long as you got to Hollywood Studios before the gates closed you could walk back there and check them out. Cast Members will let you stay for some time after the park has closed. In fact; viewing the lights after the park has closed is the best time because its usually not as crowded. I'm not sure if that helps your situation, but I thought I'd point it out just in case.

Thanks!!! I've seen those shuttle buses before and wondered what/where they went to!! Now I know!!

I've been thinking the same thing!!! LOL!!!

You two need to learn how to put the cake down.

Todd. That is a good idea as well. Until we get all the details from the team, all we have is just a "straw DAP dog". Lots of good ideas that will evolve and change as we get more information. It will be a challenge to try and do everything. Deb and I have not done CP and would like to at some point.

Katherine I wouldn't let you and John miss a beat!

I was going to say the exact same thing.

Our plans for later in the week...after DAP...were to get early ressies (late lunch) at Le Cellier laughing: I know), go to CP, then hop over to DHS and play around till the park closes...THEN watch the Osbourne Lights. I have heard the park clears out and you can watch them with very few people around!

So, basically...I totally agree with ADP! Like how that rhymes?


And Terrie...I think you are going to just have to write down Option A (offsite) and Option B (onsite) and see what your cost difference is. I usually have option A, B, C and D...

I would also look into renting a car...because you may save (if you use a discount to get one) even more money.


On that same note.....
One of the things I am wondering...is where everything is going to be??

If the Disney Institute is somewhere at a resort (and I assume it would be, since there is no good place to have it in a park?), then taking the ME is going to be a little strange...we would take the ME to a park then ME to the resort, right?

Same with the party. It could be at a park, but if it is at a resort, same issue.

Between those things, the GKTW meet, and meeting some of my friends at the Boardwalk during the weekend - I think renting a car may be a good option for me. But I am just thinking out loud here? What do you guys think?

I plan to check out some of those Disney savings sites and see if I can find a good code for a rental car for a few days? Maybe even rent from the airport because I am getting in so late on Thursday night that I don't want to be on the ME all night.

 

[Mouse Skywalker]

OMG you guys are planners. I had no idea. I am working on the GKTW service trip. I'll let you know when I have more details.
