[disney-super-mom]

Great pre-Dis Diva trip report Laurie! We're going to have so much fun and I can't wait to meet you!

LOVE the snack bags you're making.....very cute!!!

I've been working on coming up with a few games for the Meet and Greet. I'll be running my ideas by the committee to see what you think.

Oh, and hey....you'll be fine flying down. Just relax, breath, and if all else fails, have a cocktail...so what if you're drinking early in the morning....you're on vacation - LOL! Seriously, you'll do great.

What about something to do with pictures? You and Jessica tend to be the picture taking queens.

 

[DizNee Luver]

I was thinking maybe something hawaiian to continue with the luau theme...but I'm waiting to hear back to see what the other gals are thinking. I know Michelle likes to take pics too....not sure about Juliette. I'll keep you updated!

Hmm Hawaiian. I can hardly wait to hear.

 

[DizNee Luver]

I actually really like your suggestion....I've also put on the table to be Paparazzi complete with Press Passes.....just waiting to hear back!!!!

How about the Pineapple Paparazzi to make it more Hawaiian?

 

[DizNee Luver]

It doesn't have to be hawaiian....just figured since that was sort of a theme for the meet-n-greet & our name tags that we could go that route....but don't have to! Besides, I'm not sure I want to be called a pineapple!

 

[disney-super-mom]

Just remember that your team name HAS to have something to do with both castles and California. Think about stuff that has to do with both of those things like:

Dungeons
Earthquakes
Baywatch (the show - hahaha)
Beaches
Queens
Duchesses
Princesses
Royal
CHIPS (that silly cops show from the 80s - lol!)
Desert
Palm Trees
Hollywood
Redwoods


So you could be something like the Royally Hot Hollywood Hoes or the Spicy Hot Desert Duchesses.....LOL!

Anyway, you get the idea.

Well, I hadn't thought of that.

I know, it can be confusing with all the planning and organizing going on. I find myself in a confused state more than not - LOL! .

Steph usually copies all the pertinent info onto the front page of our thread. The scavenger hunt info is the 5th post down.

 

[DizNee Luver]

So our scavenger hunt team will known as: Paparazzi Princesses. We'll wear tiara's, our cameras of course, small notepad with pen & our large press passes!! Should be a ton of fun!!

Just found out that MommyWithDreams, aka Janelle.....will be vacationing with her family & our times will overlap!!! Yet another Diva I've been in contact with for 3 years & never met personally......can't wait!!!

I can hardly wait to see the pictures of you guys in you "disguises". What a kick.

I FINALLY got my plane ticket for the trip.......I've been putting it off & putting it off....finally buckled down & did it. If I had the money 2 days ago I could have gotten a much better price, but unfortunately that didn't work out & had to pay $50 more for the same flight!

karylrocks/Carol is on the same flight, as she lives about 50 minutes from me. We've never met in person, but I am still very comforted by knowing I'll be sitting with someone I know (if that makes sense?). She actually switched her seat so we could sit together!!! I'm so glad she did that!!! Even Mike feels better knowing I'll be in good hands when he leaves me at the airport check-in.

So next thing I need to figure out is.......I was told by someone on here to go online 24 hrs prior to the flight to print out my stuff......but will they send me an email telling me what to do???? I got a copy of my purchase with a Confirmation Code....but no further instructions.

I'm so glad I only have to go the one-way on the plane!!!!!

Monday I'm ordering 2 shirts from Cassi of OneGreatThing on Etsy. She does the coolest Mickey tie-dyed shirts!! I got one before my last trip & loved it!!! This time since the girls have picked colors of shirts for each day I found myself lacking in a few of the colors: one being Lime Green......so I'm getting a lime green/yellow Mickey head shirt. The Mickey head will have a small flower on it. The other color was black.....so going with a black tie-dye with the Mickey head having a pirate bandana (since black was also pirate as an option). Can't wait to get those in & show you all!!

 

[DizNee Luver]

Wanted to show you a sample of what I'm looking at for shirts:

This is kinda like the black/pirate I'll be going with:

This is kinda like the lime green:
