Girls-Only Trip ~ Old planning thread, see first post for new link

[CoMickey]

You would have loved this concert. They were in great form. I noticed the road crew were all holding their breath during the first number, but after that (seeing the lead singer was doing fine), they relaxed. Great energy, wonderful show.



I have been in those buildings and never heard that story before. How odd.



Just got back from seeing District 9. A little too much camera motion for me...

Glad the concert at the HB was good! I love that place! We might go again this Thurs. night, one of Bob's favorite symphonies is being played...seriously who would have thought my rock climbing, camping, backpacking for 10 days guy would be into classical music!

The story about the nude sunbathing could just be a Studio rumor but I thought it was funny and thought I'd share it with you all. I'm with you all and I would not want to be nude sunbathing with any of my co-workers!

I want to go see District 9 but I don't like jerky camera motion, was that the kind of motion you are talking about?

I'm thinking we need to plan a group viewing of the Billys!

Yes Please!

Well, remember there might be rides DURING the scavenger hunt . . . .

WooHoo!

That sounds like so much fun.

I want to move Club 33 to Saturday for lunch. I'm thinking around 2pm? That should give us time to do the SH in the morning, chill from it, and then eat. Those going to Club 33 might still be a little full at Goofy's, but we have to put it somewhere, and I really want to do the HOB. Of course we could always skip Club 33 this year....... j/k!!!!

Sounds good to me!

Guess where I am...anyone???? Yup, work again. I was 5 minutes away from going home today when I was told I had to go to the other port and work another 8 hours. My DS was not very happy with me to say the least! And dh had just started making me dinner...a new recipe he wants to try out. Luckily he hadn't done too much on it yet and he was able to stop and we will try to have it tomorrow.

Later,
Sarah

I'm thinking we need to plan a group viewing of the Billys!

I have never seen them before and it is on my list of things to do!

Some of the other things on my list of things I've never done:
Animation Studios- went in once for 5 minutes then the kids started whining to go on rides

Aladdin- the timing has just never worked out

Character Breakfast

Cove Bar- I never even knew it was there before the trip reports

Eat at a restaurant other than Rainforest Cafe or Denny's

Eat a mickey waffle

Eat a corn dog

I've never tried any of the treats at Pooh Corner - may have to have a few to find one I like

Find a good spot for Fireworks- usually catch them as I'm in DTD or at the hotel

that's it so far...

 

[21yankees]

I agree we need to have a day and time so a group can go together. I still haven't been and this year I'm going to see this.

Most of this stuff was on my list for the last trip or is on my list for this trip! We'll have to hang out! I saw the Billys for the first time last trip and it was great. Also the corn dog was fab and if finally got something from pooh corner and it was great! I also listened to the party line phone on main street which was a bunch of fun! Animation studio and cove bar are on my list for this time!

I think we can help you with most, if not all of this!
BTW, I think it would be fun for all of us to go to the Animation Academy together.

It's a good one!

Aladdin- the timing has just never worked out we will definitely have to make it work out!

Cove Bar- I never even knew it was there before the trip reports Great place!
Eat at a restaurant other than Rainforest Cafe or Denny's Should not be a problem.

I love this plan. And I vote for Aladdin after lunch but before Cove Bar on Sat. OR...afternoon on Sunday. I think we definitely need a Billy show, too. Is there room on Friday or Monday? Are they performing on Monday? It would be a lot less crowded if they are.

I'm looking forward to all the group stuff!

I wish time would go faster

Cristabel--Yay for your new computer, and I hope your dad is a-ok!!!

We went to Best Buy hoping to put the new computer on the Best Buy CC so that my dad wouldn't have to pay interest for 18 months but he was declined and that surprised us, both. My parents have excellent credit but my dad said that 15 years ago he defaulted, 15 years ago!!!

Hello Divas!!!!

I am in the mood to get some planning done!

Me, too! Moving in two days is really making me think more and more of our next trip. I thought I should let you all know that I'm going to pick my spring semester classes carefully so I don't have any classes during our trip!

So what should the group work on planning???

Anything!

Also whatever we plan for on 25 Feb 09 will have to have the Priority Seating calls made on Christmas so we may want to plan accordingly. I have no problem calling on Christmas. Unless we're confident that if we call a day or two later we'll still be good for making the PS.

Did they go back to 180 days for reservations?

Sounds splendid

This is so much fun! I really enjoy Ursula's cave where you can record your voice over a scene in a movie or sing!

Aladdin- the timing has just never worked out
Always a must!

Character Breakfast

Cove Bar- I never even knew it was there before the trip reports
It will be my first time there since I'll be turning 21 this November

Eat at a restaurant other than Rainforest Cafe or Denny's

Eat a mickey waffle

Eat a corn dog YUMMY

I've never tried any of the treats at Pooh Corner - may have to have a few to find one I like

Find a good spot for Fireworks- usually catch them as I'm in DTD or at the hotel As much as I love watching the fireworks, mostly because of the music (it gets me all teary-eyed), I never have the patience to stake out a good spot ahead of time

that's it so far...

I work at the US/Canadian border...yup I'm always here. Sigh

Oh, good. You are protecting us from all those bad Canadians JK my Canadian friends

I'm starting to see what Theresa has had to put up with

 

[grizbuzz]

Looks like the February trip planning is coming together!

Unfortunately, looks like I'm not going to be able to join you all on the DL next year. We've decided to go to Switzerland. It's been a bit rocky today, as we made the decision based on the information from my work that I would be able to transfer and today I was informed that VP of marketing did not approve my transfer. My bosses boss is going back to bat for me and hopefully all will work out. If it doesn't, well I guess I have to figure out how to find a job in Zurich. DH quit his job last week, so we're pretty much committed to going.

Pixie dust and good wishes appreciated. I'm sure it will all work out somehow, just may be a little different than we planned.

I will still be going to DL for the 1/2 marathon. That trip is paid for and nonrefundable, so there's no saving money (or not enough to make it worthwhile) by not going. I'm hoping to meet up with Cheryl and others for a DIS Diva meet while I'm there! Sunday night is my preference, as the race will be over and I'll be able to have a glass of wine (or two). How late is that Napa Rose lounge open on Sunday? Any other ideas for a possible meet up location?

Oh and Molly/Bumbershoot...I keep thinking of one of your posts (not sure if it was here or on your trip report) where you described your DH's approach to job searching and how he was committed to it like it was his job and kept improving his resume and approach. If I do end up in the job market, I'm going to try to take that kind of attitude. It's so easy to take it all personally. Though in tough job markets, I would rather be an engineer or IT person than a marketing professional!!

Night ladies. Many good wishes to you all.

I like this too!

I just got back from Phoenix and will post our pictures of the Tinkerbell plane after DH gets through editing his pictures (973 of them). For those who are not familiar with them these are the Alaska Airlines Disney planes. I have now been on both of them.

Wow, you guys are making a big step but no doubt you will all be blessed by it! Maybe you guys could swing a trip to Disneyland Paris in the future

Yes, we will definitely find a way to get to Disneyland Paris. I was thinking it would be a great place to go for Halloween. We'll have to see how the job front goes before any more Disney trips. But I'm sure that sometime in the two years we are there in Europe, we will go!

Anybody want to come with??? DIS Diva meet in Paris!! Come on... AWESOME!

Hi Jen,
Great to hear from you. How exciting for your family. I love Switzerland when I was there. I just know that you will land on your feet. Anyone would be lucky to have you on there team.

I would love to do a Dis meet in Paris, just not sure if I can shake my attachments long enough. Good luck Labor Day Weekend.

I am finally back to working out again, and I was thinking about you. I'm not brave enough to go back to the gettin fit thread yet though.
