Girls Only Trip (old thread, link to new thread in first post)

Good afternoon....

 

[LittleBlackRaincloud]

Your name is on a VIP list, so when you go to the area for special seating the CM will just let you in.

As for the corn dog......Mmmmmm! I've never eaten at BB, but I've seen the menu and it does not thrill me at all. I'd much rather have a corn dog. I'm only eating there because I want to be able to say I have. Maybe I can sneak in a corn dog inside my purse.

Slick! Should I wear a big hat and shades when I become a VIP so no one recognizes me? It's tough being one of the beautiful people!


BB and Jazz Kitchen are right up my DH's isle, so I know I will probably be at both next Dec with him. He's from 'them parts'. We actually moved to Tucson after Katrina because we didn't want to worry about hurricanes and our children. Since we are both nurses, more often than not, we would always be required to lock ourselves into the hospital until it passed, and I can't imagine living though another Katrina (God forbid!) without my babies by my side.

My issue with BB would be that I can't imagine it being as good as the food you can get locally in the South.

Hmmmm....I suddenly find myself hungry!

For those of you who are in charge of the tours, I'm assuming when you reserve/request the tour you will be paying for it with your CC or debit card and we will be paying you back when we arrive, correct?

Well, I was wondering if any of you would be willing to accept Disney dollars in addition to cash? I might be receiving some for Christmas. If not, it's totally cool I was just wondering.

So now I have to get into accountant mode and calculate, more or less, how much I need to save for this trip.

Luckily I will be upgrading my pass to Deluxe when I go in December. I have the exact amount of DD (Disney Dollars) to upgrade from my So. Cal AP w/ parking to a Deluxe w/o parking. I will add the parking later on, when I have more cash.

It's really helpful that TDS (the Disney Store) pays me every week.

We need to know if anyone is interested in the scavenger hunt?

If so please post yes or no within this thread.

Thank you!

scavenger hunt : unsure

when would it happen?

I have a feeling I'm putting too many things on my plate but I just want to be sure before I disincline to acquiesce your offer.

Hey ladies!

On Saturday morning, after the delicious Chip n Dale breakfast and before the awesome "Walk in Walt's Footsteps" tour, we are going to meet up at 10:30 am and do a scavenger hunt!

This scavenger hunt will be for everyone, meaning that we wont ask questions that involve tons of brainpower or Disneyland knowledge! It will be a lot of fun and you'll learn something new and see the park in a different light.

The scavenger hunt will be Disneyland specific, so you wont be running around both parks and through Downtown Disney. It will be time friendly so you can fit in all the fun activities you want to do that day.

What you can expect to collect through your hunt will include collecting specific objects, taking pictures of different things and looking for details that you might not know exist (like the existence of a certain monkey bride ). We will provide each team with what they will need for the hunt.

The best part about the hunt: Prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place!!! The prizes will be awesome and if I could play, I would just to get a prize, but I can't, so you all need to play for me!

If you would like to join us, you can post here on the board or PM myself, Dawn (fairykin) or Melody (tinkermell).

[kelmac284]

And I am home and survived my last day of work for 2 weeks! YAY! The girls got their homework packets and we even have most of it done. The crazy teachers expected them to take these gigantic books with them! FORGET it! They are only missing 1 day tomorrow and 2 half days in December. STUPID! You know they won't miss that much tomorrow because they are having a school talent show and then in my 3rd graders class they are having a thanksgiving feat deal. And they don't have any homework because Friday is a teacher work day so they wouldn't have had any homework so they were only missing whatever classwork they would have had and Thursdays are always short days anyways.

Then the week we get back is all minimum days because it is parent teacher conference week. So how much could they have missed getting out at 11:30? SHEESH. But NOOOO they still gave them like 10 pages each and 2 text books and they each have to read and fill out journals and on and on. Puhleeze!!!! But ANYWAYYYYYY we got most of it done nonetheless so we only have to drag a few things on the plane thank goodness!

Oh but as much as I have bad mouthed delta they sent me a cool e-mail today and I got to check us ALL the way through Atlanta to Orlando!! So I have my boarding passes and have checked my luggage and everything!! So even when I get to Atlanta I am good to go!!!

Plus I even know what the movie is and what gate I am at in Sac!! Mamma Mia by the way (for the movie )

So I think I have most of it covered! As I said I will probably check in one last time to say bye tomorrow but that's bout it! Take care and nighty nighty!

Kelly, I think it's ridiculous how much homework some teachers give out for kids going on vacation. I like the teachers who just say to have fun and enjoy family time which is equally important. I've had some of both.

Anyway, if I miss you before you go, have a great time!! Oh, and Mamma Mia was such a fun movie! It will help the time fly by on the plane!

 

[mommaU4]

Wendy, I'm in for the hunt. Are you guys keeping a list?

 

[wendylady36]

Yay! 3 more victims...um, I mean players!

I'll go ahead and try to keep a list going for this.

 

[mommaU4]

OK, I changed the title to reflect the updates. Hopefully everyone will see that and let you know if they are interested.
Seems like lately we have the same people posting and quite a few ladies that honestly, I'm not even sure if they are going anymore it's been so long since we've heard from them. Oh well.

Well ladies I had to make a tough decison about the ladies only trip to California. Though I really wanted to go. The air fare was more than twice that it was last year. Now with the awesome deals with the WDW package. I had to decide what was best. As I was paying for my son to go. So unfortunatley I will be backing out this year. I got the the whole trip airfare, tickets and hotel for 1744.00 canadian for 7 nights. Which is awesome.

With are dollar worth 1.29 US it was not making sense to be paying hotel and tickets in US funds because then you have the conversion rate so it ends up costing me around 1.35 Canadian for every US dollar I would spend.

The airfair down was around 680.00 X 2 plus hotel plus tickets and food was just not making any sense to pay that much. And we would only have 5 days there really.

My son has not been to disney since he was a little kid. So I really wanted to give him a good time. And finances dictated really what was the better thing to do.

But I will be still coming to visit you at this thread. Maybe next year the prices will be back to normal

I'm pretty sure I've posted this link before, but I just love it so much! I remember seeing this commercial on tv and it always made me smile. So romantic!

Maybe they're reading what we say and we've scared them off. All this talk of monkey brides and all.

Hopefully, they will come out and play with us!

Oh man, I'm sorry to hear that Ruth! Shoot. Well, I totally understand. Gotta do what you gotta do. Especially these days.
Thanks for letting us know and please stop by now and then! We'd love to keep you around.

See, you are scaring them away and they haven't even met you yet!
