40. Tina/BillFan

I would need to hear from the majority on what they want, so hopefully most of them will check in soon.

That's good, but we have 41 signed up. That's a lot of tables. I'm not sure it would work out.


OKay, I'm making another executive decision here folks. Don't hate me.


I think we need to skip the BBQ. I don't see much interest being there and it will eat up a lot of time. If I'm mistaken someone else can take the lead and book that.

We have a group meal already on Saturday which is Jazz Kitchen party of 28.
We have the hunt which is keeping us busy all morning.
And we are trying to fit in Billy Hill in the evening before JK.

I think lunch needs to be on our own that day. Either make your own reservations for CO, do a counter service (which is probably where I'll be, over at French Market), or grab a corn dog.

I hope that is okay with everyone.

Count Bree & I in for the BBQ, Sarah. I have been wanting to try it, too. And $20 is not bad for all you can eat. Thanks!

Sarah: I will do the BBQ too--I was there before they took away the characters and the food was pretty good.

I am in for the BBQ if the reservation is made. If not, I will figure it out.

Daisy

Got it!

I read that the dessert and drinks are no longer included but I guess the price is lower now than what it was. But since it's all you can eat no dessert is fine with me and I've also given up soda this year so I am fine with water.

Here's the list so far:

Big Thunder BBQ - Saturday, Feb. 27 - 2:30pm
1. Sarah/MotoXPrincess99
2. Trudi/VintageDisneyRules
3. Linda/lulubelle
4. Brianne/lulubellesDD
5.Cheryl/toocherie

I'm down for some BBQ YUMMY!

 

[MotoXPrincess99]

Beth can you update the BBQ list...

Thunder Mtn BBQ lunch, Sat. Time TBD
1. Cheryl
2. Daisy
3. Linda
4. Brianne
5. Sarah
6. Trudi
7. Kelly
8. Rosemarie
9. Barbara
10. Cristabel

Thanks!

Also should I give a time frame to take signups I was thinking Friday by noon and I will call DD before I leave work on Friday.

 

[disney-inspired]

I've called Disney Dining and again They gave me the DLH reservation number because they make their own large party PS reservations. I left another message and we'll see if they get back to me tomorrow or hopefully the latest Friday. I'm really irked that I keep getting sent to an answering machine!

I've finally found a 2010 calendar that I liked and isn't outrageously priced (seriously $17 for a calendar?!) so now I can start scheduling this trip!

 

[disney-super-mom]

Well, y'all can come with me on my birthday cruise! Alaska sound okay?

Hmmmmmm, really?

Ah man, too late! Too bad...

Sarah

I have got one if you need it for this trip and the rooming works out....

Sarah, I have one too. We can share it. I'll be happy to send it to you if you need it for any reason this year.

 

[wendylady36]

If I were going on this trip, I'd totally be down for the BBQ. You all will have to report back how you liked it.

 

[katieandmattsmom]

Well, y'all can come with me on my birthday cruise! Alaska sound okay?

well we will just have to make a Diva birthday Vegas trip!!!

 

[wendylady36]

Sounds good to me!

Hi Callie,
I have dined at NR many times and you can order as much or as little as you wish. In fact, at Dawn's birthday party, we had seven in our group and I know one person just had a bowl of soup, a glass of Magical and dessert. It might be weird if you only had dessert, but they have a good appetizer list and that with a beverage is fine. Just be aware the portions are small, but often rich and flavorful. I hope you decide to join us.

Ok, well, since this is probably my ONLY chance to get a glass of Magicale, I'll splurge and take that last spot at Napa Rose. Beth, can you add me?

Sorry to abandon you Sarah. It was between the monte cristo and the Magicale, and the booze won out!

 

[kelmac284]

WHEW crazy day! I'm excited about finally getting to try the bbq though!

Yay for Callie joining us at Napa Rose! No offense Sara! Man I am prob going to gain back whatever weight I manage to lose with all this food. EEK!

I'm just excited about it all! I know mom is too!

We are talking to barb soon so we should know our candy selection soon and HOPEFULLY we are going to find some shirts soon! I feel kind of overwhelmed trying to remember everything LOL. WHEW! I hope I don't miss anything. ahhhh!

I have to make sure I read everything and relay it to mom and barb and make sure THEY are covered too! I actually got out my suitcase and put my shirts in it so at least THEY are there so I don't forget THOSE!

Shane did get some paperwork from EDD today but it basically just said he opened a claim. STILL no forms to get a check. UGH! Oh well hopefully soon. He also was sent on a job but only for a few hours again. Oh well at least it was SOMETHING I guess but for now it is just basically covering his child support which unfortunately comes out first before WE see anything. I wish that was the case with his stupid EX! She now owes us over 6000 bucks and we SURE could use it right now! It is amazing how we can never get out of paying even when we are flat broke and shane is not working and yet SHE manages to not pay and she is an RN! But what else is new.

Anyway I am excited about all the plans coming together! I am SOOO ready for this trip you have no idea!

Beth I know what you mean about next year! We were "supposed" to go to Europe next year but at this point I don't know if that is going to happen. I have only been once in 83 and want to go back SO bad and want to take the girls but who knows if it will happen. Someday I hope to make it back! I know you guys will have a GREAT time on your cruise! Make sure you MAKE it happen. I was supposed to do something great for my 40th and it never happened so make sure you make it a priority. You guys deserve it!!

Have a great evening everyone!

Will do, and I'll make a note that sign-ups will close noon on Friday.

It's been frustrating this year hasn't it?

Sounds good to me!

Me too!!

Sure thing.

 

[anut4disney]

Sounds like a plan. I have a nice pair of fuzzy handcuffs I can bring.

At least they won't chafe.

 

[mommaU4]

At least they won't chafe.

Gotta be comfortable walking around Disney ya know.

 

[Queenbillabong]

At least they won't chafe.

[Queenbillabong]

Divas:

Does anyone wear shoe size 9 and is interested in a pair of pink Minnie Mouse Crocs (or Mickey Mouse???). They are brand new, never worn, tags still attached. I have them and they are free to a good home - just let me know. I'll bring them in February.

 

[21yankees]

All I can say is WOW!!!

You all chatted a lot today.


Sad to hear about Cafe Orleans. I would like to do the barbecue for lunch that day (as I'm not signed up for any other meals that day). That way I can have ice cream for dinner.

And if that 1 spot is still available for the House of Blues on Sunday night, I'd like that too, please

Beth I just want to thank you so much for keeping this organized!



Before I forget, I'm thinking of the itinerary tags (like the ones I made last year). Let me know if you all are interested in getting those this year. Either way I'm making a set for me. For those of you that did not attend last year, I made tags (that fit on the lanyard) that had each day's schedule (w/ meal times, meet ups, etc).

steph

 

[CoMickey]

Wow my head is spinning and my eyes are crossed! I have been running reports all day for a work event tomorrow and then I came here and I am overwhelmed! I haven't even thought about candy, pillow cases, all the dining decisions, I am thankful for Kerry for organizing the t-shirt crafty day at least I know when I'm doing that but I still have to get the t-shirt.

I have so much to do before the Diva's trip:
Tomorrow - Terrena Resort and DL for Jen's BD
Next week - Dallas
That weekend - Las Vegas with Donna (Can't wait to see the Beth and the other Vegas girls if they can make it!)
The next weekend - PHX to see Whitney
The following weekend - Trying to sneak in a trip to Denver to see my sister...I'm missing my family big time!
Feb.
First weekend - T-shirts and my Christmas gift from Mr. CA to a Beatles show in Thousand Oaks
Then 9 days at WDW
Then finally the Divas Trip
I really need to get my act together!

Our team is working on our name...

I know and I haven't been any help!!

Ok, well, since this is probably my ONLY chance to get a glass of Magicale, I'll splurge and take that last spot at Napa Rose. Beth, can you add me?

Sorry to abandon you Sarah. It was between the monte cristo and the Magicale, and the booze won out!

Glad you're going to be joining us. I was going to post the same thing Linda did about Dawn's BD dinnner there. It'll be fun!

I'll see those of you who are meeting with Jen tomorrow night. I am so looking forward to it!!!

Ok back to work for me...ugh! My eyes hurt!
