Dis ladies Star Wars Weekend! May the Force be with us

[4greatboys]

I don't see the Tonga Toast on the menu. But they do have it right? I'd be very sad if I didn't get to try it.

I think its Kona that has the Tonga Toast

 

[AdventurerKat]

Well, doesn't that suck. Well, the boys would still like Stitch.

So right now we have Jenna at the CR. Deena at the AKL. Tammy at Pop. Me with a room at Pop but not sure I want to spend $104 a night for it. Kelli not sure when and if she's going to be able to come. Missy, did you get a room anywhere? Am I missing anyone who was getting a room?

I don't know what I should do.

 

[TDC Nala]

Thanks Deena!


Is anyone else thinking about any other TS meals? I know with the kids we will go to at least one character meal, possibly two. I like to do the character meals with the kiddos, then I don't have to stand in the lines at the parks to see the characters.

I'll probably be going someplace expensive that serves things kids and a lot of adults won't eat.

 

[Missy1961]

I haven't booked yet, but it will have to be a value. Can't afford a mod by myself.

I'm also trying to figure out the best days. I know Tammy's planning on Thurs-Sun. I'm not sure what I want to do yet. I have lots of vacation days so that's not a problem. We're not that busy at the end of May/beginning of June, so that's not a problem either. I was thinking about flying in on Thursday (arriving in the afternoon) & leaving late Sunday.

I thought I had heard that if you ask nicely, they will bring you some at Ohana.

Sure, rub it in! That's okay though, I will be eating at nice places in November!

Missy, we will be there the 30th through the 5th!

I think we are going to be able to make it I had hoped to stay at AKL but when Chris found out the price he told me "no way are we paying that much to stay in a hotel!!!!, if we stay somewher cheaper we can stay twice as long". So I guess that is out (of course staying twice as long sounds nice! but doubt we will do that since we will be going to Myrtle Beach for a week the following month). So I am thinking of CBR or POFQ, he is thinking of one of the all stars . If you get an AP, do you automatically get discounts on rooms or are there specific times you get discounts? I swear you need a PhD to make Disney plans

Hey Kendra. I am sure those same words would come out of my husband's mouth. At least the first ones.

You are not guaranteed a discount with an AP. That's the trouble we're all having with trying to get the rooms we wanted. If you want to get into anything, just call and ask for the AP rate and see what you can get. You don't need the AP til check in.

Hope to see you all there.

 

[4greatboys]

Kendra with the AP discount the mods are very close to value rate plus I heard all the AP rates were gone at the values. Call today and make a ressie while they still have some at the mods.

Would Chris go for maybe a split stay? Maybe you can do CBR and then end up at AKL for a couple of nights.

Tell him its your belated b-dau present

Im so glad you guys can make it. Im adding you 2 on to Jenna's Sci Fi ressie.

That is great news Kendra!!!

 

[2BigKIdz]

okay I am as usual

I know Deena is staying at AKL (lucky girl!!!), and Jenna is at CP (which in my Disney ignorance am going to guess is the Contemporary), but where is everyone else staying?

I was wrong when I said I was thinking of POFQ, it is really POR, there goes the again. But if there is a group at one resort then we might stay there, well except if the group is at AKL cause that has been shot down Why didn't I lie when he asked how much it was

thanks for the suggestion about staying one night there, but for such a short trip I'd rather just have to get settled in one time. Maybe for our 10th anniversary or something he will let me stay there

Kendra, I think the majority of the group is staying at All Star Music. And Tammy is at All Star Sports. I think both of the resorts are right next to each other.

And never tell your DH how much anything costs!

So what day would be good for the Ohana's breakfast? I was thinking about going ahead and making some ADR's for the trip.

 

[JennaTX]

I was also thinking about singing the kiddos up for the Pirates Cruise. Has anyone's kids ever done that?

No but I think they would really like it.

Are of you interested in doing the magica gathering Fireworks cruise?

That might be fun too, you have done that one before, right? Does it have Captain Hook at the end of it?

Capt Hook and Mr Smee are actually in the area where you have your snacks before the cruise. They walk you out to your boat but they dont go with you. The pirate on the boat is really funny and they do some trivia and give out prizes. Then once you dock there is a meet and greet with Peter Pan.

 

[TDC Nala]

I'm at SSR.

My friend's son did the Pirate Cruise once and he liked it. They have a snack and they go to the resorts looking for treasure apparently.

She had to hang around GF while he was on the cruise. She was going to ride over to MK for a bit but President Bush picked that day to do a fundraiser at GF and when he came in, they shut the monorail down.

She said they pair the kids up with other kids, so they always have a buddy.

I have done so many fireworks cruises, I don't think I'll be doing another one...

has anybody done the tea at GF? I love that. If I do it on this trip it would have to be on Sunday when everyone else has left.

Kendra, come down when I stay at AKL on points, I charge 20 bucks a night to crash on my points.
