"Diva" Trip - "Cliff Notes" p.236 OLD THREAD!

[mommaU4]

Am so excited at the prospect of an all girl no kids couple of days it sounds wonderful!

It's great. Just what every girl needs, to get away by herself now and then.
And I will definitely check out your TR with my girls. Although, they might decide they want to go live with you........especially if there is baby horse on the way!!

They do them all except ESPN Zone. This time they did Napa Rose for 20, Fantasmic! for 20, Walk in Walt's Footsteps for 4 and Carnation Cafe for 6 - others had already made ressies. I have worked with the same gal for over 4 years and just email all my requests and she does it - they are awesome!!

That's great to know, Bridget. It would definitely make things a lot easier when it comes to making reservations. I'll definitely be working with you to make sure they all get made, if you don't mind. You can be like our contact person for reservations.

Have a good afternoon all and hey did everyone realize the time changes this weekend??? I didn't and was shocked! EEK!!! Not quite ready for that! :0

I know. I'm always messed up for at least a week after the time changes. Ugh.

Just wanted to share this pic. Shopping counts as a group activity right?

Heck yes, in my book it does! I think I have that pic on the front page in fact!! lol

Yes Quiet Coyotes is one of Capri's teaching tools. I hope it works better on elementary aged kids than it did on Divas (we are quite the chatty bunch if you haven't noticed).

I'll let Capri give a description of it!

Ah. I figured. It sounds like something a teacher would use.

I was wondering the same thing! I've never had a tag.

This lady needs a tag!! So do a couple others. Hopefully the tag fairy will take notice (pity??) on our group and dish out some tags.

I've had a couple over the years. Four other tags in addition to the ones I have now. But then again......I talk...........a lot.........a whole lot.....too much in fact......

Maybe there will be something great over in DCA once some of the stuff is done.

That would be great. Don't get me wrong. I love the classic spots like the castle and floral Mickey, and they've turned out great, but something new and different would be fun too. So here's hoping!

Happy to do it!

Oh tag fairy.... come out, come out where ever you are!!!!

A tag pity party, I can see it now.

I'm always up for a party!

A party?? Will there be Cheryl's famous jello shots?

Oh tag fairy.... come out, come out where ever you are!!!!

Maybe she can be bribed with something.... like chocolate cupcakes!

Um, just ignore the bite missing from that one in the front there. I was hungry.

Or maybe some hunky firemen would do the trick....

The firemen again?? Aren't you tired of them yet?

This thread is moving WAY. TOO. FAST!! I love all the pictures from the trip, I'll be there April 8-11, doing MouseAdventure on the 10th with Vicki and Heather. Who else is doing it? We're eating at Surf's Up before starting MA, gotta get some good nutrition before starving ourselves all day long!

Okay - I know the SF Nike Women's Marathon and 1/2 Marathon have firemen in tuxedos at the finish line, the Girlfriend 1/2 Marathon I run in Vancouver, Wa has firemen in their uniforms at the finish line so I want to know - which race has THESE firemen at the finish line That would be an incentive to finish the race!!

 

[mommaU4]

Huh? Tired of hunky firemen?? I don't understand this strangeness you are speaking.

Good luck at MA!!! I know you, Vicki and Heather are gonna kick some serious booty!! Woogio!

Well I lurked as you planned this years trip but only occasionally as with our big Christmas trip I knew I wouldn't be able to go again so soon. However this year's family trip will be in October and we are getting annual passes on that trip so we can make 2 trips in 2012. One of our 2012 trips is planned for the first week of March so it looks like I can go with you guys this year just by flying down a few days before the boys join me for our family trip.

For those that don't know me I am Sherri and I grew up in Ventura County California, raised my 3 older kids in Mesa, Arizona and now live the country life in Malta Montana just 50 miles from the Canadian border living my dream life with my wonderful husband and our most wonderful 6 year old son Colton. I am also a grandmother of two wonderful little girls (yikes I am only 43) My husband & I run a small film company up here and spend lots of time with our horses and other animals.

I spent most of my life with frequent (at least yearly) trips to DL while living in California & Arizona but after the longest stretch of my life (8 years!) returned to DLR Christmas 2010 and now have 3 more trips to plan for Halloween 2011, March 2012 and Late Summer 2012. Well make that four with the Divas trip being right before our March trip they are almost one but I will count the Divas as a fourth experience if not an actual 4th trip.

I am really excited to get to know those of you I have not met yet and LOVE that you are all planning for next year already as the planning is half the fun.

Hi, welcome aboard !!! Where in Ventura County did you live. I grew up in Simi.

And is it bad that I am already entertaining ideas of what I want to bring for the snack table next year?

Ooh, that snack table was really nice !!!!!!!!!!!

The firemen again?? Aren't you tired of them yet?

Speaking of hunky firemen, what happened to that cabana boy we were expecting at the M&G?

Thanks for my Jiminy Jazz. That happens to be my favorite picture of him !!!

OMG The first pages look amazing Beth!!
I totally forgot about the Mary Poppin's picture we took....sooo funny! They insisted on framing us.

Wonderful memories from all the trips!

 

[cheshiregirl]

For some reason my response to Becci didn't show up, but we will be at DLR from Sunday afternoon-noonish on Wednesday. Hope to run into you!

 

[LisaCat]

Lookie what I saw at WalMart today.....

Trudi, I love your Jiminy. He's adorable. It's fun seeing all the characters everyone is choosing.

Awww, thanks Jill. I just wanted to have a collage of pictures up there to show the fun and spirit of the trips.

 

[wendylady36]

Jell-o shots, cupcakes and hot firemen!? This must be heaven.

 

[mommaU4]

Lookie what I saw at WalMart today.....

A Diva bunny! How perfect.

I was just thinking the other day how I miss being a kid and getting an Easter basket. I have fun putting them together for my kids now, but it would be nice to be on the receiving end again. I always got a big chocolate bunny in my basket every year. Of course, it wasn't a Diva bunny.

Jen was actually talking about doing a Easter Basket exchange while we were at Napa Rose. Maybe another exchange is in order .

Well I'm off to the Urgent Care. We'll see how many pages go by once I get home and settled .

Hi Sherri! I live in Ventura County That's cool that you used to live here. Welcome!

I grew up in Simi Valley mostly then Ventura/Oxnard area as a teen..really if it was still like it was when I was a kid I might still be there. I do still have lots of family there so we visit.

Hi Sherri and Welcome! I live in Simi now! I met my Prince Charming while vacationing at WDW 4 years ago this July, he lived here and I lived in Denver. We long distance dated for a year and then I decided to move out here. If you are ever in the area visiting and you can get away let me know and we could meet for coffee or lunch! It's always nice to meet a couple of the ladies from this group before the trip, I know I appriceated the opportunity.
