Girls-only Trip~Old thread, see first post for new one.

I agree!! With the here we go again part.

We really need to decide what we are going to do and stick with it.

Options:

1. No reusing of shirts. One new group shirt each year, wear it proudly, save it as a special souvenir/reminder of that trip.

2. Reuse a shirt, but only one shirt, which would be from the trip prior.
This year (2012) we wore the purple castle tee, which was the group shirt from 2011. And we had a shiny new pink tee. Based on this option, next year in 2013 we'd wear the pink tee again, and a shiny new (blue?) group tee. Then in 2014 we'd wear the blue tee and another new one. And so on and so forth carrying over one shirt each year. That way each group shirt is used at least twice, and yet any newbies won't have so much to buy.
(I won't lie, I like this option because each shirt gets used twice so we get our moneys worth, and yet it's not such a hardship on the new ladies who we always get each year. JMO.)

3. Keep reusing the shirts yearly, starting with the purple castle tee, the pink tee, this years tee, and adding until we end up with enough custom made shirts to wear each day of the trip each year. (Problem with this option is how do we decide when to stop, which shirts to keep including, kwim?)




As I've already said, I personally do not care which option or what we end up doing. I can wear any shirt or color for a day.
I just would like it to be a done deal so that we don't end up with the same discussion every year. We'd already know what to expect.
Like Amy, I am tired (late night ) so I'm not sure if I am making any sense here...



Oh, and the comment from the photographer to the lady in tie dye....funniest EVER!

I like option #2!

I vote for a combination of these. How about if we use last years shirt again, and have the COLOR of the year before for one of our days. That way if someone wants to wear their purple Castle shirt they can, if not, we can just wear a purple shirt. Everyone would be covered for purple day. Next year, we can have a pink day, and if we want to wear our pink DisDiva sign shirt we can, if not just a pink shirt will do. Is that enough of a compromise?
So, we would have Lime green for the first day, then a purple day, a pink shirt day, a new shirt day. Now we only need one additional color. If we make the color for the last day always the same, all of our color discussions are mercifully over.

I like this idea too.

See, I hate pink but it's been on the list for both trips I attended and as far as helping us spot each other in a crowd it is the perfect shirt color. And we've done a bright pink both years. My first year when I was really nervous about approaching everyone it helped to know who everyone was because the shirt color was so distinct from what everyone in the park was wearing. Other colors stand out as well, but I think so far the pink draws your eye the most. That is the only reason I will gladly wear pink, lol.

This is how I feel as a newbie joining in. It will be nice to be able to spot everyone so I don't get lost. I know a few faces well enough from Facebook and TR's etc, but would still like the colour to make it easier.

Either way, it's not a big deal to me. As long as I can find shirts in Walmart or where ever in the colours that are planned, then I am good to go. I am not too picky on which colours we wear. I am easy going about all of it.

My shirt wish list for every ladies trip would look like this:

Weds (fewest number of ladies this day): we pick a color and stick with it.

Thurs: Lime Green. Main arrival day, M&G

Friday: New group shirt day/Scavenger hunt day

Saturday: Last year's group shirt

Sunday: we pick a color and stick with it.


But I'll go with the flow and wear whatever is chosen for whichever day.

Okay ladies. I think we may have a solution!

This was actually Mel's idea, but I really like it and think it could work. Keep in mind of course that with a big group it's impossible to please everyone, and it's all about compromise.


We have five trip days....and here are the five shirt options. (these are in no particular order and we'll need to decide which days to put them on)

1. Lime Green

2. Solid color (Something common that most people either probably already have or can be found at the stores easily and cheaply, such as a basic red tee)

3. The previous year's group shirt (In the case of next year's trip it will be the pink shirt. That way each group shirt is guaranteed to be worn twice)

4. A new group tee

5. Your favorite Disney tee! (This can be ANY Disney themed shirt. Is your favorite Disney tee one with Mickey? Or Snow White? Or Tink? Or is it a prior Diva shirt such as the pirate one, or the purple castle? Maybe even the brown and pink one? Or even a Disney tie dye shirt! Now is your chance to show off your sense of style with your personal favorite Disney tee.)



So every year it's the same five shirts. A new group shirt, the prior year's group shirt, a lime green shirt, your favorite shirt, and a solid color that we can either change yearly or set in stone.

I thought it was a good, fun idea. I have a favorite Disney shirt, and would love to wear it on the trip! It's also a nice compromise because those who want to wear their Diva shirts on more than twice can do so. And if you wear a favorite character shirt, it's always fun to see who people pick to wear.


What do y'all think?? Thoughts? Opinions?

What I posted is basically the same as this. Except instead of two solid color days, we'd have one solid color day, and one day is Wear Your Favorite Disney Tee day. So on that day, those who love a certain character can show it off. Or for those who were wanting to reuse the purple castle tee (or any other Diva shirt from years past) they can do that also. Anything Disney themed would work.

:

I don't like pink but last years tee's were so beautiful. I wouldn't mind wearing it again.

Right after y'all ride on the swinging gondolas on Mickey's Wheel of Death. LOL

I like option 3, although I don't have any of the previous year's tees (made my own purple tee for purple castle tee day in 2011). I will probably do the same when I attend in 2013. I bought a Disney tee that I loved and dyed it the same shade of purple as I thought everyone else was going to wear. I got pretty close, too.

Here's what it came out to...

I'm in the center of the photo, blondie with a big ribbon on my chest.

Not bad, huh? I'm really excited there's a lime green day, BTW

First, I have to say I LOVE your updates on Facebook. It's nice to see you so happy. And I am glad it's going well. You deserve this my friend!

So every year it's the same five shirts. A new group shirt, the prior year's group shirt, a lime green shirt, your favorite shirt, and a solid color that we can either change yearly or set in stone.

This sounds like a very good plan to me. Especially if the favorite shirt is on the first or last day when the group isn't as large.
I also agree with keeping the lime green shirt on Thursday!

BINGO! Think this is a great option. My suggestion:

Wed - Solid color - let's pick a color and have it always be the same. Red works for me
Thurs - Lime Green and always Lime Green on M&G
Fri - New Group Tee - Scavy Hunt Day - always new group tee
Sat - Last's years Tee - always the previous year's tee
Sun - Favorite Disney tee - always your favorite Disney Tee

I think this sounds like a good workable plan.

 

[sierranevada]

I'm thinking from all the clues, so far, that the hunt is gonna be based heavily in DCA. Cruise Route 66, adventure onto Buena Vista St to see the stars, fly into Condor Flatts and enjoy the pier off PCH. That's just what I'm coming up with.

You are good Laurie!!

As for the scavenger hunt theme, I'm with Laurie that it will be in CA and has to do with exploring the state.

Exactly what I was thinking. I definitely concur.

If it's in DCA, I think it should be required that everyone in the hunt has to ride Grizzly River Rapids... mwuahahahahaha

What a great idea!!

I knew you ladies would get your KICKS with the guessing contest!

I love this suggestion! Red, and lime green work for me too.
I didn't realize that our color days were supposed to be solid colors. I often see characters or attractions on our different shirt days. A blue WoC shirt, or a red Mickey shirt. I just thought that it was the main color that helped us identify one another, and if it was Disney themed, all the better.

Oh, they don't have to be solid. I guess I just meant....um, I don't know. I just meant a certain color? Mainly one color? Basic color? However you want to word it. My brain doesn't function well on the best of days, let alone on precious little sleep.

 

[Belle Ella]

My only problem with the favorite character t-shirt is that it would be hard to spot one another. But if it's the last day I guess that maybe wont bother too many people? It still would me though.

But I'll go ahead and say it: please no red shirt day

Sorry - I also did not mean solid although that is how I wrote it. Really just meant to choose one color

Ya, I was pretty sure it was a DCA thing with a Cars theme. LOL
