GayDays 2011

yeah, will have to make use of the google, didn't know that victoria falls is a bar.

my question is, if I do actually let my child stay with strangers (the child care thing), how will we make it back to our hotel? wouldn't we end up having to go to DTD to make the switch? Maybe i need to learn a new social thing... like how to use taxi's.

either way, will def. be trying to do the dole whip thing!

 

[fmelchor88]

Awesome! I'll be there (probably with my fiance and parents)

Great see ya there.

Immediately following the dole whip meet, the DDC (inside joke) will be hosting a Jungle Cruise takeover. All are welcome.

Because it's Disney, we're okay the kids' clubs. They are for ages 4 to 12. We take the kids to the Neverland Club at the Polynesian. We're (DP & I) going to Citricos that night at the Grand Floridian.

We always have a car with us so getting back and forth isn't an issue for us.

Hey guys and girls lets have a meet up the Flamingo Cove Lounge
around 9pm please let me know what you think.

 

[Schotz]

Oh, flamingo lounge inside the best western on disney property, I can't get there unless I get a ride. Maybe we could car pool?

 

[Singledad]

sadly can't do off property, as I also have transportation issues. have fun though!

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

LasOlas, we won't arrive until Friday. Have fun!

For those interested, the Best Western LBV is not horribly difficult to get to - take the bus to Downtown Disney Marketplace, from there not a bad walk, looks to be just a bit futher than walking to the other end of the West End from there would be.

 

[Schotz]

Is there a good place to hang out in downtown disney anymore? or even <cringe> city walk? I used to drop in the old Planet Hollywood on the weekend, it used to play great house/dance music and serve up a good cocktail.

Just wanted to know if you ppl know anything good now days.

Sphyrna and I will be doing the Backstage Magic tour on June 1st if anyone wants to join us. It's $224 (+tax)/person before any discounts (disney visa cardholder/annual pass/etc.) and can be booked through the Disney website at http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/tours-and-experiences/backstage-magic/

Discover some of the secrets behind the magic of Walt Disney World Resort! Get an in-depth look at the creative and technical operations used behind the scenes to bring innovative special effects, world-class entertainment and elaborate attractions to life.

At Epcot, we'll reveal some of the exquisite details that make The American Adventure one of our most popular attractions. You'll see Main Street, U.S.A. at Magic Kingdom theme park in a whole new light after your guide leads you through a hidden world—the legendary underground "Utilidor" tunnel system.

From artistic accents to eye-catching designs, nearly everything that surrounds you at Walt Disney World Resort is created and maintained by the artisans of Central Shops whose masterpieces transport you to Fantasyland and beyond. Take a break with a family-style lunch at the Whispering Canyon Café inside Disney's Wilderness Lodge. Then, see how horticulture and landscape design play a starring role in creating an endless variety of uniquely themed environments at the Walt Disney World Nursery & Tree Farm.

Head to Disney's Hollywood Studios theme park and see how Walt Disney Imagineers combined cutting-edge design with breakthrough technology to create the thrilling Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. Here, as in every corner of Walt Disney World Resort, wardrobe is an integral part of the magic, so you'll learn how the Creative Costuming team outfits the performers in Disney parades and shows. Finally, wrap up a most wonderful day at Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park with an up-close look at Mickey's Jammin' Jungle Parade.

Guests must be at least 16 years old and carry government-issued photo identification. Lunch is included with the tour. Theme Park admission is not required or included.

I've contemplating doing that tour one day... I'll chat with the hubby (I am pretty certain there's a DVC discount). we're already going to be paying a pretty penny for the Driver's Experience @ the race tracks; not certain if we want to pay another almost $500 for the pair of us to do the tour That and I've been pondering the new tour at AK.

 

[Singledad]

So found out where we will be for the last half of our trip... Caribbean Beach Resort!

[wolfe98pr]

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

10 weeks until we depart for Gay Days.

 

[chwgmjay]

I will have a rental vehicle and don't drink much/if at all. There will be a couple days/nights I leave it at POFQ and do drink, but I am totally willing to drop ppl off at their hotels after meets if they need a ride and don't wanna deal with Disney Transportation.

DATW day excepted. I do plan on leaving the car at POFQ and doin' some drinking then.

I called DVC today to waitlist one more day at WDW I **really** need to book air!

That's really kind of you to offer people

Hubby's not a drinker -- I think we may go to the lounge at AKL to meet up and if there's anybody gathering at BLT we'll gladly go there otherwise we'll probably quite nights after the parks. I'll be soaking the pools to cool off

 

[Knowlesk80]

This will be our first Gay Day's. Any advice? We have a 10 yr old daughter & would it be wise to bring her or keep her home? We are only doing MK on Saturday. Any & all advice would be great!

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Several people in our group are bringing kids.
