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

[Eventer98]

I would love to do this!! I don't think there is anyway that I can.
1. We are going at the beginning of June.
2. I will be teaching and it will be hard for me to take off. I am so excited for everyone who is going. I hope there will be many trip reports to tell all of us who can't go all about it.

Sorry to hear you can't make it!! What about coming up early Sat-late Sunday? Not sure how close you are located.

Ok Peeps...off to ride my horse. Talk to you later!!

 

[lexmelinda]

Let me know when you decide to do it, and I'll go if I can. I think we could do Kona on the 28th. I don't see why not.

Kona it is!! I thought we'd hit MK from about mid afternoon til they throw us out at 7pm. We're eating sorta late so we can stay and see Hallowishes from the beach at the Poly.....at least that's the plan. The kids really want to do MNSSHP again...me...not so much. I'd rather so to the Adventurer's Club with you and Josh!

Lynda....are your dates set in stone? Could you call and just see if you could come a week earlier and still get free dining?

Hi Peeps! This thread is flying today! I am so excited for everyone who is getting to go to the peep meets. I have gotten in 48 oz. of water so far today. It really does make a big difference in how hungry I feel. I also walked for a mile afterschool with a friend. I am getting really tired of this wintery weather. We had big huge flakes off and on all day today. Luckily, nothing was sticking. I am ready for it feel like spring.

Hear Ye Hear YE Please post in bold your Peep Meet dates!

There was a group that wanted to make a goal of a 5K - many of us jumped on board.... many meaning enough to consider doing a GRAND GATHERING!! (note my siggy!!)

I am now under the impression dates have changed to take advantage of FREE DINING.... (not that that is ironic or anything!!)

1. Are you going to WDW Jan 12 -14 for 5K/Marathon Weekend?

2. Have you made ressies for end of Sept?

3. Have you changed your mind - or have circumstances changed?

4. OR would you consider making Sept ressies - or Jan ressies???

inquiring minds and all that... I seriously would love to sit around with the peeps and laugh and talk, etc...

I think Harley and Dismom have already signed up for the Fun Run. Just thought I would give you a "heads up". I'm sure they will check in later. Plus I just wanted to bring your post up again for those that didn't see it earlier.

I love that song!

We have a Darth Tater and a Spud Trooper. I am going to get my first set of parts on my vacation in June. (I will get the heads at Walmart). I think I might display it in my classroom and change it every so often. I think the kids would get a kick out of it.

Thanks! I do too! I am a Pat Benetar fan.

Oh, fun! That is a good idea! I am sure the kids would get a kick out of it!

Kona it is!! I thought we'd hit MK from about mid afternoon til they throw us out at 7pm. We're eating sorta late so we can stay and see Hallowishes from the beach at the Poly.....at least that's the plan. The kids really want to do MNSSHP again...me...not so much. I'd rather so to the Adventurer's Club with you and Josh!

Lynda....are your dates set in stone? Could you call and just see if you could come a week earlier and still get free dining?

Oh, AC sounds like fun!!! We can do MNSSHP later in the week.

Our dates are pretty much set. I DID think about looking into checking in a day earlier - maybe! DH's work schedule is an issue because he would have to take 2 Saturdays off in the same month. It's kind of tricky scheduling so that the other finance managers get their Saturdays off too, and there is still coverage when he is gone. Plus, when we added on the 28th to our package, he said the CM talked like the hotel was getting full, and that's been a while back. I will talk to DH tonight and look at my paid leave and see if there's anything we can do. I'll let ya know! DH is emailing his cousin today to ask if she and her "boy friend" (don't know if that's boyfriend or just boy friend ) want to join us. Hopefully, we will know about that soon too! Did you have something in particular in mind, or did you just want to see more of me?

 

[aries1980]

Since I am the one obsessing... (and it doesnt feel like I'm obsessing, but I assume everyone else can have their opinions!! )

anyway...

I have pen and paper next to me taking notes...

Eventar - maybe long weekend - either - share room?
Wonders - Weekend only - either
Dance - Sept possible - flexible - share room?
Disneyfreak - Both
Uma - Sept ten days, not booked however...

Ok put us done for Sept. If everyone is going to meet then thats good with us for free dining! I will be booking on Thurs. since i dont have Disney Visa! I will go for the dates of Sept. 22 to the 30th most likely!

I say its FREE ITS ME!!!! Sorry January is a no can do here.

After my kidney goes off on ebay I am hoping to make ressies on Thursday for Septmeber. DH really wants to go it the 2 of us. EEEK what wwould we ever talk about??

OK so September free dininig would go for the 21st till the 25th. LOng weekend I fear. How many of you will be bringing your children and maybe their ages we could do something fun with the kids as well? Just thinking out loud and if all you have your children in tow then I would have to bring mine as I would be too sad then without him.

SHHH don't tell but its only 3 days and a wake up! WE are telling DS we are going to pickup a work truck for Daddy and on his official Birthday the day before at dinner DS will be served fortune cookies that I have clued him as to what his future will hold! YIPPEEE the next am we will be clelbrating his birthday disney style O'Hana's and then Coral Reef his fav for dinner! I am certain I will end the night at Vision Quest LOL!!!

 

[DisneyObsession]

All this talk about FD in Sept and I really want to go!!! <whining>
I can't though, not with everything that's coming up. You all will just have to take LOTS of pics so I feel like I was there with you!!!

 

[the Fidge]

DID I tell you?? OMG 3 days and a wake up and I am out of the snow!!!!

 

[pigget74]

Haven't been able to post in a few days. Crazy busy. This new class is killing me!! Can't remember if I told you about Jackson being sick. I think it may be Roto Virus. Started throwing up early Sat. morning. He was in my bed. Let me just say that Red Icee + soured Chocolate Milkshake = very red, very smelly puke. When I woke up he was leaned over the edge of my bed and I could hear it hitting the walls. Nice. Looked like a crime scene. He is getting better though.

Heather - is Joshua sick too.

Dance - that cake was gorgeous.

Hope everyone had a great Easter. Remember when a Peep not long ago confessed to eating a 6 pack of Resees eggs. Well, yesterday I am pretty sure I ate about 6 miniature Resees eggs and 3 mini Cadbury eggs. We won't even discuss the Easter meal.
Anyway, my DD and I were reading the Bible together last night. The passage was in Romans 7 where Paul is saying that he hates that he does the things he does not want to do and that he does not do the things he knows to do. If Paul struggled with this, I can see how we all struggle with it. Paul talked about his freedom through Jesus. That has been the missing link for me. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. I ask God to help me with almost everything in my life. But when it comes to weight loss, I try to do it on my own. Obviously that is not working.

Yep, he started it and now has it again--don't think he really ever got over it. Everyone has had it so far but me. I am going to keep my fingers crossed.

YES! You do get free dining as long as you check in by 9/22. The code is ZHQ. Although I'm sure all the CMs know it by now. Call and make the reservation now if you have a Disney Visa and on Thursday if you don't.

Anyone for tea at the Grand Floridian?

My dinner ADRs are as follows:
9/22: Kona
9/23: Narcoossee’s (dd's b-day)
9/24: Le Cellier
9/25: Ohana
9/26: California Grill
9/27: Le Cellier
9/28: Kona

YOu can celebrate my DS birthday on the 24th--he will be 13 Sorry, but with baby due and all I don't think I can swing this trip.

 

[dance2874]

Does POP have suites that could sleep us 4 comfortably? I have only stayed at Shades of Green and they have two beds and a pull out couch. You're right about booking ASAP....I bet it will go fast!! I don't have that lovely Visa either. Are you thinking 9/22-9/27? I checked flights and I could be in by 10:40am. Where will you be coming from? Any must-do dining ideas?

I am coming from Dallas. It is about an 18 hour drive if I dare to do that- we do a similar length drive about twice a yr and it is possible, and not horrible. If I fly then I will shoot to be there early in the day. No matter what, that is the plan. I hate to waste even one second when we go. Want to get there early enough to enjoy a park. As for dining, we are open. We did alot of the character stuff last time. Killed 2 birds with one stone so to speak...that way we didnt have to wait in line to see any characters and we got to eat at the same time. I also like to choose places I would never pay to eat at because of price.

Ok...Wonders and Dance! I worked out a sample hotel cost (let me know what can be improved??) if we were all able to share a room at POP. Too tight quarters?? But for now....if we all came up Sat with Wonders leaving on Sun, me leaving on Tues and Dance leaving on Thurs it would be $34ea for Sat, $46ea for Sun and Mon and then $92 for Dance on Tues and Wed. ASM has family suites for $202/night that we could maybe get but then you'd probably want to move back to a reg. room when I left right Dance? Just rambling ideas off!!

Thank you for doing the math! There is no way I could have done it. Is rack rate $89 a night? I have no clue. All I know is we have to pay rack rate to get the dining plan. The other thing is, I am not sure if we all have to have the same amount of tickets. In other words, would we all need 6 day tickets or could you guys get shorter lenght ones? Anyone know? I am going to do some research.

I think a regular room would be OK honestly, unless you guys are weird about sharing a bed. I know DD will sleep with me, so you guys would have to be bed buddies I have heard that the suites are not included in the free dining.

I say its FREE ITS ME!!!! Sorry January is a no can do here.

After my kidney goes off on ebay I am hoping to make ressies on Thursday for Septmeber. DH really wants to go it the 2 of us. EEEK what wwould we ever talk about??

OK so September free dininig would go for the 21st till the 25th. LOng weekend I fear. How many of you will be bringing your children and maybe their ages we could do something fun with the kids as well? Just thinking out loud and if all you have your children in tow then I would have to bring mine as I would be too sad then without him.

YIPPEEE the next am we will be clelbrating his birthday disney style O'Hana's and then Coral Reef his fav for dinner! I am certain I will end the night at Vision Quest LOL!!!

3 days! WHOOHOOTY! I would be so excited!! I am pretty sure I would not be able to keep the secret!

I will for sure have my DD with me in Sept, she is 4 and will be almost 5 by then. I could never tell her where I went and not take her. DH is 99.99% out right now. He was a stick in the mud last time so I am not sure I even want to invite him Since I will be without a spouse, I can offer my babysitting services one night for all the peeps. I will give you a great deal

 

[dance2874]

Anyone else think it is funny that we are all trying to lose weight, and the MINUTE they announce free dining we are all over it!

 

[Beka]

So I'm open to either dates since I'm just a couple hours away.

That's just not fair. Then again, you have to live with that kind of humidity that FL is known for. Yuck.

There's no way I could make it to WDW anytime soon Paying for school (both the 1st time around - school loans - and now, plus "stupid tax" (fans of Dave Ramsey might know what that is) are smacking my budget around. This year, I'm in a wedding, we moved, plus I have my reunion and DH's reunion to go to. The Vacation fund just got owned.

Eeyore45 - do you want all of us to send you that q&a? (Yes, it's Monday, and yes, I'm a blond. Mostly gray, but blond as well.)

 

[Beka]

You guys are my support- you dont judge, you listen when I am down, you pick me up when I fall, you teach me, and you encourage me to keep trying- you are my PEEPS and you are my FIRENDS- and I thank you for being there.

Yay for awesome online support with Mickey ears! Forget those co-workers, if they won't be supportive, then just don't include them in your life. That's my motto (well one of 'em) since I had surgery in July.

 

[lexmelinda]

Did you have something in particular in mind, or did you just want to see more of me?

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?

 

[dance2874]

Eventer and wonders-
It appears we all have to buy the same ticket initially. So that means I will have to buy whatever # of days you guys decide on. Or, we all need to buy the same tickets as whoever is staying the shortest # of days if that makes sense. It also said I can add days to my ticket when we get there. I am guessing it wouldnt cost any more do do that then vs. now...and it will save me a few $ that I have to pay up front, giving me more time to earn it!

This is from the codes and rates board post:
You must purchase a package that includes at least a one day base-ticket for each person staying in the room. All persons in the room must purchase the same level of ticket. (These can be upgraded separately after you check in if you wish)

I am going to ask over there to see if anyone can tell me for sure though.

 

[aries1980]

After all the tallying is done we should make an OFFICIAL PEEP DAY MEET if most of us will be there in sept., we should make ressies at a restuarant for peeps and family and do a tea party for just us peeps? any thoughts or comments

 

[Beka]

Quick question here, is there an "official" (or even semi-official, or even non-official) t-shirt out there for the DIS boards? A logo or something? See after a week of all-Disney dreams, THAT is the kind of thing I think about at work, instead of my actual job.

hah - I'm having the blond moment!

I think I upped a Q&A, but it wasnt from me, and I havent answered it (shame on me... )

I just was realizing a lot of Peeps were jumping on the free dining (yes, I noticed that in this thread - its frugal tho!! )

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!!

Aries you're in charge!!

(and I'm thinking if we stay at Pop I could swing both Sept and Jan... Sept with kids and mom, Jan, just dh and ME!) WARNING WARNING - I'm a dreamer!!
