~~~Exchangers Meet!! cancelled :-(

[JLitfin]

Nope...nothing here.

Hope you had a great time, Jean.

I get to fly my kitty to AZ in a couple of weeks Not looking forward to that at all!!

Had a wonderful time, Cancun and the Royal Sands is one of our favorite vacation spots. Did nothing all week, just relaxed by the pool or beach.

 

[Meriweather]

Glad you had a good time.
After moving and trying to get things settled, I will be so ready for my cruise mid-Sept!!

 

[Meriweather]

Happy4th of July!!

When do you all want to start the REAL planning??

 

[Evita_W]

I definately think that we as a group should do a Tour...we did a few of them last time and they were sooooooo much fun!! I really enjoyed Keys to the Kingdom and Undiscovered Future World...

If we have a decent group we may be able to do a "private tour" so that we do not have other crowds...

 

[Meriweather]

Hoping for Yuletide Fantasy.....but we'll see what people want.

I hope to get a poll up in the next week or two or some options of different things that we might want to do.

I love tours Have been on a lot of them, some twice

 

[JLitfin]

Not that I'm suggesting this for our exchangers meet, just wondering what other's thoughts are on doing the Dining Plan.

The Dining Plan - yes or no

I've done the DDP on my last couple of trips with my sister and we really liked it, ate at places we normally would not of eaten at. I could go either way, I heard Disney might be changing the DDP again, by dropping the dessert, so the meal will only be main course and drink.

I was going through the numbers for my trip in January and decided not to do the DDP. I thought about the DxDDP to try some of the signature restaurants since it will only be my DH and myself, but am having trouble paying around $1000+ just to eat, so we decided to rent a car and eat off property some. I'm still going to make reservations at a couple of my favorite restaurants on property and just pay cash.

Anything holiday related, I would love. I've gone to Disney once to see the holiday decorations, which was over Christmas week, very crowded, so I'm really looking forward to the beginning of December to see the decorations, and do the Christmas party in the MK.

 

[Meriweather]

We love the beginning of Dec.
And tours and all holiday happens.
I will be working on that poll, hopefully this week and get it up soon.

We don't do the dining plan. We priced it out and it isn't a good deal for us.
We don't usually do desserts or snacks.
We usually get Tables in Wonderland and go with that. Since we go 2-3 times within a year, the AP and TiW works best for us.

 

[bobbiwoz]

We usually don't do the dining plan, but we have in Decembers. The TiW doesn't "work" for the Fantasmic dinner or the CP package, but the dining plan does, so we felt the dining plan was worth it then. Now, last year the CP needed 2 table services, so it was less good. I'm not sure what we'll do this year. If we do get it, we go for buffet meals because I prefer an appetizer to a dessert. We especially like the Cape May Cafe seafood buffet, and Fantasmic dinner at Hollywood and Vine. We're traveling with DSis and DCuz this December and that's not the sort of food they particularly like, so we probably won't be doing the dining plan this year.

We were in VB and WDW for 9 nights and it was great. The 4th of July fireworks were definitely worth the trip. We lucked out with weather, it was NOT as hot as it had been in previous weeks. We were with family and friends, some of whom we hadn't seen in 2 years. The next time we do this, most likely in 2 years, we decided we want to do Vero after WDW...maybe we'll come home more rested that way!

Now I have an MRI scheduled for tomorrow. Please say a little prayer that they find that they will be able to help my stiff neck.

I've been thinking about next year's meet, and looking forward to meeting more on line friends!!! I'm game for a behind the scene tour.

Bobbi

PS. DS was in Cancuun June 11-22nd, and he thought it was wonderful. They went for a destination wedding and to do sightseeing. Did they overlap with you, Jean?

 

[Meriweather]

Good luck, Bobbi. I hope you find some answers with the MRI

Glad you had a good time on this last vacation too.

I need to get going on some things to get this thread going more.
I have been working on a "getting to know you" type question thing.
Hope to get that up soon.....and the poll for activities.

I have been busy trying to slowly get this house packed up, so that has been sucking a lot of time. I am almost to the point of not being able to pack anything else until closer, so next week will be better.
The 21 I fly down with the furbaby, so that will be an experience

So, next week is going to be very very hectic for you, and then the flight! Wow...you'll be glad when this is over.

People say that summer has now come to Washington state. Is it sweltering now?

 

[Meriweather]

Actaully next week, nothing to do.
Fly kitty down, come back and then that week is the busy one....and DH is out of town.
Truck and helpers come Aug. 1, we leave here Aug. 4....3 day drive and then helpers to unpack Aug. 7.

Nancy - Heck with everyone else I'll answer more questions.


Donna - Please don't get mad at me, but Hawaii is part of the US. Unless you chose it because its not actually attched to any other state.


Bobbi - How about doing Mickey's Backyard BBQ? that way Disney does all the BBQ work and you can just enjoy time with your family. Then again, I just saw the price.
