DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN! Part 3

[Eventer98]

well i can go ahead and make all the ressie when decided and headcounted... I have no problem doing that!

That would be great!

Hey guys...boy you all have been chatty in the few hours I was away.

Here is the deal-i-o with me.

That's fine!! Since you don't want FD you can probably get POP for about $82/night. Sounds like we are trying to do something light Sat. night..perfect for you!!! My flight will get in around 10:40 on Sat so I should be to POP by noon. Assuming that's where Dance wants to stay.

WEll I have not booked yet as I am waiting for Thursday but I priced out some airfares and I beleive we may go with the 21st arrival and depart the 25th or the 26th. If I get enough $ off ebay for that kidney of mine I may even be able to stay till the 27th!!!Doubt it as I fear it may not get enough!

I might ransack some wedding money and hide it away until September. Although I did get the ok from DF for all this. He always says yes..he doesn't worry about money like me! I don't know if that's good or bad?

 

[Eventer98]

That sounds good to me. I love the MK so I tend to spend the most time there. DD is a night owl, so she may still be up for an official meet after dinner. Dinner for sure is great. She usually stays up til about 10 at least, even at disney. I wont make the decision on how I am arriving until it gets closer. If I can get a last minute deal on airfare I will do that, but I cant afford to buy them now. Otherwise I know I can drive. No matter what I plan to arrive before noon on my arrival day. I may come in on the 21st actually. I have to think about this, and see if there will be anyone to maybe meet a day earlier.....Well, no matter what I decide, I have the driving down to a science. We usually drive all night, but without my DH I cant do that. So I will just have to figure it out! I will most likely drive 75% of the way on day one, and then have a very short drive on day 2 so I can get there by about 10:30 or 11. Unless Dene wants to come! She lives close enough to me to ride along

Sounds good! I could come up on Friday but my flight wouldn't get in until 11pm....but if you would like me to I have no problems with that at all!! I just have to work a full day Friday. Then we could get an early start Sat at MK!!!! So Wonders is out...I was thinking if we booked all 3 of us for the whole time you are staying (since it's no extra for me either way) then they may give me FD for the length you stay..meaning you could use my extra food credits once I am gone! Does that make sense?? Did you think about how long you wanted to stay until?

Im so excited Peeps!!!

 

[aries1980]

We are staying at POP just an FYI to those coming in Sept.

[Disneyfreak92]

I would like to see more of you BUT looks like everybody will be there the weekend before you arrive. I hope Wendy will be there too on the 28th!

WENDEEEEEEEE!!?!?!? Did ya decide?

Well, we aren't coming a week earlier, but we are now checking in on 9/27! We extended our ressies by a day! So, I will have one more day of peeps! We'll get there the afternoon/early evening of the 27th now.

Lynda what are your dinner plans for Friday? Lunch plans Saturday? I figure I should put you in first and make the boys work around my schedule!!

DH is going out with a friend Friday night, so I have no dinner plans, and Saturday DH will be working. I should be free then too. My mom MIGHT be with me for lunch on Saturday if we do that. Let me know what you wanna do! I am excited!

Ok, so the official word I got was we all have to book with the same ticket to start with and I think it is a minimu of a one day ticket. I never usually do the park hopper. I just dont use it enough, especially with a kid along. Too much running around. So if Wonders wants in on the free dining and has an AP, then we all have to buy just a one day ticket to start with and do the upgrade when we get there. Of course we have to ask a CM to be sure when we book that we can do that, but I am sure it is fine. They also said we have to add $1/night to whatever rack rate is for an extra adult in the room- rates are based on 2 adults.

This is correct! DH and I have done the same thing. We originally had his dad and stepmom (FIL and SMIL) joining us, but they cancelled. Right now, we are waiting to find out if his cousin and her friend are joining us instead. We have APs so we got four 1-day tickets so we could all have free dining for the entire stay. When we get there, they will upgrade their tickets for the extra days needed. DH just talked to a CM when extending our trip, and they said this is what we need to do.

Hi everyone!!My head is spinning from all the peepmeet talk.Harley can't get on the computer right now.

Mine and Harlry's plan as of right now is to be in WDW from 8/31-9/5 and then again for the 5k from 1/10-1/13.We might could come for a flyby visit for a peep meet at the end of September but won't know for %100 until much closer.We would like to be included in the dinner plans.

I shall add you to the tally for dinner on the 23rd! That could be a possible 11 peeps and then all the family members for dinner!!!

Is it just peeps for dinner the 23? or family included on that so i know how to organize for DH he needs step by step instructions

Ha! I forgot to add family members!! I have no idea who is bringing kids but a PP (forgive me..I forgot who!) posed that question earlier!!

I was thinking that about the food too actually. Not that I really need extra food. I have not decided how long to stay but I was thinking of booking for the longest amount I may stay, and I can always shorten it later if need be. But extending it would be an issue if the rooms sell out. Pop is ok with me. We stayed there last time and it was fine, and it seems most the peeps are going to be there anyways. I am open to pretty much any value really.

I am glad to know that is how it works for sure!

Stupid dreaming about Disney all night gets my wheels a' rollin'. So I was thinking today that there shoudl be a DIS boards t-shirt, which would further sort people out in a crowd (as if Lime green weren't enough, right?). Just a thought. Every so often my advertising degree kicks in and things like this happen:

http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g71/boogsmom/disboards.jpg

I do not by any means consider this top quality work, but rather fleshing out an idea. It started out saying "www.DISboards.com member" but I cut out "member" just for space's sake, plus I wasn't thrilled with how it looked. Could also do the same design with just "dis".

Thought I would try this out on my peeps before I spring anything on the masses.

How cute would a lime green shirt with a peep with Mickey ears be? Hmmm...

POP works for me too!! I found a flight that will get me in at 10:59 Fri...with M.Express I hope to be there by midnight!! But worth it to get a good start Sat. I wonder if they drop bags off in the middle of the night? Good idea to make the res. for as long as possible..I bet they do fill up the rooms fast! Did you want to make it?? I wonder what the dep. will be? Do you have to have it paid in full by the time you get there? If that's the case I bet I could call in with my credit card at some point to put my share down on the balance. If you want to do MK Sat (since we both love MK the best!!) did you want to do Crystal Palace for dinner that night? Then your DD can have her character fill for the day!! Just an idea. I have never had dinner there before..just breakfast so I woud be open to trying it! I am sooo excited!!!

So tonight I have my 1st "official" visit with the personal trainer. He showed me how to (properly) use some equipment I had used before, some moves with free weights, and a new way to work my triceps. He also had me do some sit ups on the exercise ball. He said most people do 10, I did 30! Yeah! I'm determined to not need a tummy tuck - ever! Babies or not! I don't want that mess! (I see a lower body lift and **** job in the future, if I can stay away from WDW long enough to save up the $$).

No weightloss goals for me this week, I just want to:
1) be vigilant about taking my vitamins 3x a day instead of the 1x I manage (failed that one already, since I left 'em at work, but tomorrow is a new day)
2) go to the gym more than 2x this week
3) eat out less

Gah! It's hard to get back into a schedule!

What're your goals this week?

 

[Beka]

Very cute!!!

I'll have to work on that... tomorrow! Yikes! It's beddy bye time for me!

Where you flying from it be too funny if we are on the same plane I just noticed your near me

Looks like I would change planes in NC or Atlanta. They have non-stops from Rochester but fly in the middle of the day which stinks b/c they are the same price!

 

[aries1980]

yea i just looked rochester is a little further than i was thinking.. but we still getting into the POP the same time!!!

 

[Eventer98]

What're your goals this week?

This week will be tough for me with rehearsal dinner Thurs and wedding Friday. I did ok today...had 6 pieces of small, homemade chocolate but now it's gone! I had DF take the rest of Easter cookies to work. I would be ok with staying the same honestly..I might have to weigh in a day early. I don't think I will have time to on Friday!!
