DIS/DISUnplugged/Dreams December Event Info DISapalooza

I just requested a quote! I have no idea whether I can really do this, but....

The answer to my question might be buried someplace in these 63 pages, but I'm wondering if someone can answer me more quickly - if I go I will probably bring my children, who are 8 and 5. Are these events appropriate for young children? Or shall I cough up some extra money to bring a sitter?

Thanks!

John said in chat the other night that they want lots of kids to come.

I just booked POP for DAP!! 235 bucks for three nights. For what it cost in points, I figured I was better off banking the points and/or renting them later.

I was thinking about POP too, but decided I can only handle moderates. I have never stayed anywhere expect DVC at WDW.

Yay on booking.

My 5 year old will be at the Saturday party. And John did say he wants lots of kids to be there.

If POP is the place to be is everyone requesting standard or preferred? Will requests be put in place for the same building so DISers can help other DISers after DATW???? I don't post much, but I've convinced my husband my imaginary friends are really fun and we need to get in on the action! I'll be putting our request in to Tracy this week for P.C.C. 2 as well!! I know, just jump on the boards and start posting right?! I try to make chat as well, but I usually forget. Maybe I should put a sticky on the dirty dishes I always seem to be doing at that time

I know that there are some things that will be more adult-oriented..like DATW(Drinkin Around The World) and Jellyrolls..but these are part of the actual DAP. These are activites that us DISers have come up with to do. There are threads for people when we're coming in...what we'll be doing and things like that.

If I didn't help you, I'm sure Todd will......

This is my 700th post!!!!:goodvibes

This will be my first non deluxe stay! But since I'm alone, I figure I can handle it.

Got the price from Tracy, AAA price.

Yes, that would make it much easier. I will have my DH and 5 year old in tow.

I am really excited to try Caribbean Beach. There pool looks really great, hopefully it will be warm enough to go in it.

That's cool. You probably won't be in your room that much anyway. Great price too!

Are you bringing the kids, Don?

 

[aspen37]

she is doing better, still waiting for her vision to come back. thanks for asking!!! It was nice having brunch with you guys as well- especially when Todd had his dessert first! genius!

I hope she gets her vision back soon.

150 Days Until DIS-A-Palooza!!!

Sorry, its a guilty pleasure. Feels good to say it.

That's okay - I hit my 150 day mark yesterday It's approximate - we are all around the same time so it's all good. We won't string you up by your toes this time.

Same here!

 

[dpuck1998]

Flying solo. When I get back from DAP we leave 4 days later for 2 weeks in Disney.

Here is the link to the official government website. http://www.cars.gov/

Basically, you need to own your car for 1 year with proof of insurance. Your new car must get 10+ combined miles per gallon more then your current vehicle. If so, they allow $4500 trade in, no matter the condition (as long as it runs). The old car gets crushed. The dealer can also combine other factory and dealer rebates (i.e. 1000 owner loyalty, 1000 factory rebate, plus 4500 rebate above).

This program will end in the fall.

I owen my car but it gets better gas milage than 18 miles to the gallon. It does sound like a great program if you qualify. Thanks for the link Jen.

I hope it works out so you can come.

So far the only Podcast events that will be Ok for children is the Saturday night party and the podcast taping. We are not sure what the DI event will be yet. The DATW you can bring your children but I don't think they will have fun with 55-75 drunk adults. MVMCP is great for the whole family. I'm not sure but it looks like most people think that Sunday would be a good day for that after the podcast taping. I hope this was helpful.

 

[jeanigor]

To be technical, the only DIS event confirmed so far is the one on Saturday...which is 100% kid friendly. Location TBA, time TBA.

The other events are being organized by individual DIS'ers, and not the Podcast Team/Dreams Unlimited. So far, most, if not all of these are being planned by adults traveling without children.

If there is something that you would like to organize, (or like some help organizing) that is more for families rather than adults, please post and let us know. To paraphrase a wise man: "We can't hit ya!"

 

[ragtopday]

Thanks to those who have posted about kids being welcome at the DIS sponsored events - great info!

I would love to participate in DATW, but my kids would definitely not enjoy that! So I'll have to think about it - maybe a Kids Club for a little while, maybe bring my mother or the best option would be to leave them home, but I'm not sure that will be doable. I do appreciate the input though - knowledge is power!

 

[baby1disney]

What about those kids' club at the resorts?!?! I know that the DVC resorts have them...but are they the only ones that do that?!?!

Or maybe have a couple of families go in together and hire those babysitters I hear about..not sure if it's thru Disney or an outside agency...that's only of course if you feel comfortable with someone watchin your kid(s) and/or leaving them with another family kids' as well. Just throwing some stuff out there.

So I have some news that just brightened my day.....

My car only had a broken/stuck thermostat. I don't need a new engine or a new car. And I think the boss is even going pick up the tab.

I like to count my blessings everyday. (And up at the top of that list are friends like y'all)

ETA: I'd be better if I got a certain PM from a DISer with a certain color hair.............
