GayDays 2011

[silverhaze269]

This year we had cocktails on Friday night at AKL, and Drink Around the World on Sunday at Epcot.

Most definitely.

Awesome!

TWENTY THREE DAYS UNTIL ADRs!

Vacation bids on Wednesday. Once we get past THAT little detail the planning can kick into high gear!

how quickly do you find out if you get the time off or not... I know the wait must be killing you!

I should tell my boss when I am gone at some point

I've yet to decide if I aught attempt to do a PTR or not.

Missy, we will know on Wednesday. He will bid the first 2 weeks Wed. and the 3rd week Thurs. If the June weeks are open when it is his turn, then he gets them and that's that. The thing we are wrangling with is a December week. The chances of a December week being open by the time he bids his third week is ZERO. So we are trying to decide if he should take the Gay Days week and a December week in Round 1 (if it's open) and try for the second June week in Round 2. If we get the 2 June weeks up front we only have to pay airfare once, and we already have our villa for those 2 weeks. So we'll see.

@ JSG - fingers crossed for you on the vacation bid for you DH.

To all: If anyone wants to be included on our Breakfast reservation for CP on Saturday the 4th at roughly 8:05 am, let me know sometime this week. We make our ADRs on the 19th. We have 6 spots.

so... since ADR dates are quickly approaching, I guess it's time to start planning. LOL.

Crystal Palace is roughly 8:00 am on Sat. There are still spaces open on various reservations, otherwise you can make your own.

Dole Whip meet looks like it's 4:00 pm on Sat.

Drink around the world at Epcot Sunday.

We're gonna put together a singles mixer... I'm still looking for ideas as to what we can do. (fireworks cruise? dinner somewhere? wagon ride at Fort Wilderness and HDDR?)

That's all I got...

I was going off the 2010 information.

I was going off the 2010 information.

I am going to post a poll later to see on what timings work for peeps a bit closer to the time giving people more time to decide whether they are going to gay days or not. I am thinking Jan or Feb for the Dis Dole Whip meet.

EDIT: What the heck! I've opened the poll now! People can start to vote now

After the Dole Whip meet I'm trying to put together a Jungle Cruise take-over. Hopefully we can get a big enough group together to take over a whole boat. LOL

There's also talk of trying to do Tower of Terror too.

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

We like the Jungle Cruise!

 

[Sphyrna]

Heck, let's just go around as a big group all day and take over every ride... the entire Magic Kingdom!!

Works for me.

Cast Member - How many are in your party?

Us - 40

At Disneyland, they did a big ole meet on the Mark Twain. Looked like it worked out really well, plenty of room, no matter how many decided to join, and room to move around and meet people....

Just an idea....

 

[C&G'sMama]

It's our ADR day DP is looking at it now.

It's something to look forward to. Only 190 days left!!

Im in ! Tell me more !!!

Does that mean I should add you to the list of those going to Gay Days?

I tell ya hubby is seeing hidden Mickey's /or making his own multiple times a week now--- I think he is going loopy and the next 6 mos will be a long haul!

If my back would only cooperate with me I'd be doing more trip research/airfare comparisons etc...

 

[C&G'sMama]

I had the ADR date wrong. I misunderstood how it worked. So our date is November 29th. Oh well.

We ARE going to Gay Days! It took some juggling by a supervisor, but DH did manage to get the days off!

My Crystal Palace table is now maxed out at 10 people. The request has been submitted to IPO and they will book it at my 180 day mark.
