Girls Only Disneyland Trip!! Old thread. New link in first post

[daisy_77]

Good morning ladies.


I am still soooo tired! I am tempted to go back to bed. I wonder how long it will take to get back to my normal schedule.

I am really paranoid that I am going to get sick (or maybe I already am---can't tell yet). We had only 3, yes 3 students in class yesterday. We normally have 7 students, it was kinda nice. The kids that were in class were the mellow ones. The flu is running rampant through the school. I hope I am not getting it again.

The marathon sounds fun, but I am too poor to join you all. I do hope you all have a great time.


Have a good day everyone!

I haven't had any trouble getting into the site, www.disneyphotopass.com, and you used the log in information I sent, right? Weird! Is anyone else having any problems??

Stacie....got the photopass info and can't wait to see the pics. I keep getting the error message so I'm not sure if it is operator error or the site is overloaded. I'll keep trying.

Still flying on cloud 9 after our trip! It was so great to meet all of you and I can't wait to do it again!!

Try from the link I posted above, Kelly was having the same problem but used that link and it worked.

When does/did Theresa get back? I'd love to see her pictures, too. And anyone else who still hasn't uploaded theirs. We're up to 296 pictures!!

Jen.....hmmmmm I think I may be able to swing the labor day weekend 5k! Let me check my work schedule and talk to the hubby. Any excuse to see the Disgals again would be wonderful! And training for a 5k is just the kick in the pants I need to get to the next level with my weight loss. And I really should be using my AP anyways.....hmmmmm

YEAH!

ok, ok-Put me on the 5K list. My bday is the 9th and I have been trying to figure out how to be there for that day!

YIPPEE!

Six kids were absent from my DS' class yesterday, including my DS who has a double ear infection. It's going around. Just don't let the bed bugs bite!

And, feel free to CHANGE YOUR MIND about the 5k/half marathon. We'd love to have you.

Ladies - would you be interested in joining your team up with the DIS Podcast Team that is walking the 5K? We are planning on wearing our DIS Unplugged/Give Kids the World Benefit T-Shirts that you can get from the site right now for $25 - entire cost goes to GKtW Charity.

Let me know if this might be something y'all would like to do with us.

Nancy--YES, we would like to join up with the DIS Podcast team and GKTW! However, I think we need to figure out the best way to do that. As I've learned from past experience, this group is not a "purchase t-shirts off the rack" kind of group. Everyone has their own individual preference for styles, textures, prices -- so we'll need to come up with some sort of decal using the Podcast/GKTW logo that's already been created that people can iron on themselves and bling up (or not) to their own personal taste. But I think we can do that! And definitely we can figure out a good way to contribute to GKTW. I'll work on this... Anyone want to help me with this? Here's the Podcast/GKTW logo that's being used for the WDW marathon

Anyway to tink, land and diva this up for our group?

I'm adding names to the first list I typed out for Beth to grab and put on one of the front pages at some point.

Sooo, question about the 5k....is it a walk or run? I can do a 5k walk, but not a 5k run.....I "might" be able to come.

Morning, everyone.

I wish I had time for the multi-quote, I want to respond to so many of you.

Heather, I hope you feel better soon. I felt so bad for you during our Walk in Walt's Footsteps tour because I knew you weren't feeling well. I just wish I could have helped you at that time in some way.

Stacie - how are the itchies today? Since none of the other ladies have those symptoms, maybe it IS an allergic reaction (to the detergent used for washing maybe?), or maybe your skin is just so sweet that the little bugs all went to you. Well, in any case, I hope you feel better, too.

I don't have a whole TR to report, but would like to tag on to an existing one, maybe Beth's since she started it on the TR board, and then I'll put the rest of my pictures there, including my visit to Pixie Hollow, and the couple I have of IASW.... oh, and the video I have of the Segway training. I wish I could have got all of you on the Segways. It was such a cool experience.

Michelle -- I will walk with you if the others run/trot.

Michelle, I am walker also. Maybe we can walk together. I need to see if I can make it, first.

 

[mechurchlady]

Sorry, Mary Jo but after the ECV incident where I bruised my leg in two places there is no way you could get me on a Segway. I am too top heavy and reckless a driver. It was nice meeting you. Knowing my driving skills I would be upside down in Grizzly Rapids, lol. I do know the joy of scooters and how much fun it is to move around rapidly like on a segway.

I will be there to root you on as you finish the walk/run but no running for me. I look forwrd to meeting some of you again.
Hugs
Laurie

I do not feel any better yet, but wanted to say hey! My DH is a runner and we might be interested in joining you all. He would do the 1/2 marathon. Are men allowed?

Mary Jo, your words are so sweet, but I think you are thinking of the other Heather. Her feet were so bad on Monday. I felt bad for her also. I hope she is doing better.

DH is home from work again today, so that I can rest. I have to start my new job tomorrow.

I hope to have enough energy to upload my pics to our account later. I looked at the photopass pics last night, and there are some great ones in there!

Talk with you all later,

Heather

I'm so glad you are feeling better. I am, too. Just think I needed to catch up on my sleep!!

I'm listening to my CD right now, LOVE IT!

I will also be walking not running the 5k. And, for those who are nervous about it, the scavvy hunt was almost 3 miles of walking, and a 5k is just over 3 miles long. So, you've already walked that far, without even knowing it!

 

[VintagDisneyRules]

I'm trying to figure out how to post here.
I had such a great time on the trip. I really enjoyed the scavenger hunt and look forward to it again ! I'm going to have to get Sarah to help me with adding pics.

 

[daisy_77]

Hi Trudi!
It was nice spending some time with you and your DD at the Cove Bar. I hope you all ended up having a good evening.

I hope next time to see more of you!

BTW---I am January. I sat across from you guys at the table.

I look forward to seeing your pictures.


Heather----I am praying that you start feeling better for your new job!

Welcome Trudi!!!

I'm Jane and I was at the far end of the table at Cove Bar with my delish Pina Colava.

 

[VintagDisneyRules]

I'm going to need Sarah's help with matching up disboard name to real names. LOL

 

[toocherie]

Maybe not...when I actually try to reserve, it says not available.
But it came up as an option. I'll have to call and find out more.

Sorry for any confusion

I've been having the same problem--in-house reservations doesn't know why--but call them and they will reserve with the Ent. Rate.

It looks like you ladies had a fabulous time! I am totally coming on the next one!

Yay!! Another lady!

It was great... it will be nice to have you join us!

Molly, I went in the shop and he walked right toward me. He went through the store and stopped at the other door. I also watch TMZ and of course live here so I would have recognized someone... but didn't. And if he was guarding a celeb, why would he be staring at the street? Rosemarie was the one to first spot him and we just couldn't figure it out.

If a celeb had been at DL, someone on this board would have posted it... But if he were security, he wouldn't have dressed in a suit - he'd be disguised as a tourist, wouldn't you think?

ok--I must have missed the original post--what are you guys talking about? I heard that Brad Pitt was at DL sometime over the weekend

As long as he's willing to wear a tink costume, your DH is more than welcome.

But seriously, he is most welcome to join. My family will be coming and I have signed my DH up for the 5k and my kids for the kid races. If divas want to bring their families, please do! (every once in a while we can let kids and husbands into the parks with us )

Sooo, question about the 5k....is it a walk or run? I can do a 5k walk, but not a 5k run.....I "might" be able to come.

Yes. It is a walk or a run or a little of both -- depending on what you want to do. Pace must be at least 15 minute mile, so always good to do a little training to make sure that you are keeping a reasonably quick pace.

But as you start training, if you decide that you want to run some/all of it, why that is quite ok! Everyone can make their own individual goals and do the race in their own individual style!

Molly I'm pretty sure it was one of your posts on the board that gave me the idea for my kids' souveniers. I decided to get the pressed coin books for my girls and then get them a few of the coins for each of them. They loved it. I made sure they each got different coins too. I told them that each time I go to the parks and they go to the parks we'll add to their books. That got them excited just thinking about when they may get to go to Disneyland again.


Also I next year's packing list will include a scarf for those chilly evenings.

Hope you all are having a great day.

It's not only you. I have been waiting for someone to post a pic like the one from last year with everyone ID'd by dis and real names. I am really bad with names and having to remember 2 has actually made my head hurt!

Another tip I found on a site a long time ago was to empty a mini M&M's Tube container (I know, torture!). Then stack 2 quarters & a shiny penny, 2 quarters & a shiny penny, repeat. That way you don't have to go through your change purse to find the appropriate change and your girls are guaranteed shiny pressed pennies.
