Girls Trip #1 (check in daily for any plans being finalized or changes/updates)

[mommaU4]

So this is a group of women, all of whom, love Disney, some live in Las Vegas, and if I read the boards correctly some have twins too! I embrace you sisters!!! Count me in! We can even carpool from Vegas. Road Trip!!!

Jill, living in Las Vegas

DD's 15 (identical)
DS 19 (away at college in WI)
DFi 50 (more of a a Disney Geek than I am)

ps How do you get all those cutesy things on your signatures?
We are proud DVC owners at SS.

Hi Jill! Yep, I'm one who lives in Vegas. Still fairly new here though. We just moved in July. So far, so good though.

I also have twins but mine are younger and they aren't identical. They are 7, and I have a DD10 and a DS12.

How long have you been in Vegas?

As for the signatures... I am not very good at explaining things but I'll give it a go. lol

Along the top of the page you'll see different things to click on. One of them is Quick Links. Click that and then in the drop down bar, click on Edit Signature. That will take you to a page where you can add different pics, words, etc. including tickers.

Most people get their tickers from www.tickerfactory.com

Also up top there is the User CP. If you click on that, then on the drop down bar, you'll see Edit Avatar. Click that and you can choose a pre-made avatar or you can make a custom one.

I hope that helps some. LOL Play around with it. If you have more specific questions, just ask. I'll try to help, or I'm sure someone else here will be able to help as well.

Count me in. I will be there in April already

Hey there!! I see you are originally from MI. Where abouts? I lived there for 3 years from 2004-2007. We just moved to Vegas this summer. Anyways, we were in the Traverse City area, the northern part of the lower peninsula.

Anyways, I'm glad you an join us!! We'll seem to have a few interested now. Guess we need to start thinking of a date.

As for your DD19, I suppose it's up to you. I only say 21 and over, because when we went to WDW there was drinking involved and once you let a bunch of wild ladies out on their own, you just never really know what will follow in terms of conversation and humor.

So I guess, it would be up to you. I just wanted to throw out that word of caution; that you just never know what to expect.
Mainly we don't want any young children around that we'd have to watch what we say or do. Does that make sense? LOL

I'm originally from Grand Blanc, which is just south of Flint and north of Detroit. My dad and brother still live there. I was just there and got to see the leaves!! We have a cabin in Lewiston, not sure if you know where that is. Anyways, I am still thinking about the DD, she is a little more conservative than I am and I definitely wouldn't want to corrupt her And who knows, she might not even want to go, she has an AP so she goes with the kids at school. Keep me informed!! I probably have a couple of friends who might want to go, too!

Cool. I'm not sure yet if it will be the end of April or the beginning of May. I think I might get a poll going to see what would work best for everyone. I know we won't be able to pick the perfect dates for everyone, but hopefully it will work for most.

This avatar took me hours of work, and I can't get it centered. LOL. Have patience I'm still trying!
Thanks for the help, Beth. Where in Vegas do you live? I'm in the Green Valley area.

Hmmm, I've never heard of Grand Blanc but then we were stuck way up in the boonies. lol That's nice you got to see the leaves!! We were only there for 3 years, but I miss the Fall. It was my favorite time of year. No leaves changing color here in Vegas, that's for sure.

I'll definitely keep you informed. Any changes made, I'll post it in the title. I was hoping to get a few more interested but I realize the DL board isn't read as much as some of the others, so we'll see....

As for your DD, well, yeah, no promises she won't be corrupted. But she'll have fun.

LOL It's cute, I like the lime green Mickey. Playing with your sig and avatar is addicting. And then once you get it set, if you're anything like me, you'll change it again almost right away. I get bored easily, what can I say. LOL

Green Valley is nice! We looked around there first but we ended up closer to Summerlin. We aren't IN Summerlin but we're about a block or two away from where it starts so I don't know what you'd call that. LOL I'm still learning all the different areas.

Ohhh, sounds like fun!!! Wait, you mean I could actually eat a meal in peace and not have to ride Its a small world 50 times??? Or better yet, ride a roller coaster

Well if I'm along, I'll be riding it.

Oh but wait, it's going to be closed by then, so no one has to worry about my love of that dang ride!

Closed in April/May? Why?

It's a Small World is undergoing a huge refurbishment, and word has it that after the holiday season this year, it will be down until the holiday season next year.

Looks like quite a group forming.

 

[WebmasterMaryJo]

Well at a Disneyland meet a few years ago, someone (who shall remain nameless) persuaded a stranger to don a lime green thong while we stuffed it with dollar bills. And Disneyland security posed with us for the picture.

I am sure MaryJo has a copy of that photo.

OMG, that is too funny!!! I think I need to see that pic......

I DO have that pic -- I'll have to post it. Fun times Fun times

So I just asked my dh

Me: Hey, there is going to be a ladies only trip to DL may I go?
Dh: Can I come too?
Me: Ladies only, sorry.
Dh: Well, can I come if I dont pretend to know you?
Me: No spying on me so you can't come!
Dh: Sounds like trouble
Me: Probably!
Dh: Only women?
Me: Of course
Dh: I better alert security! Yes, you can go! Bring me home something PIRATES!

 

[bumbershoot]

Hmm...it *could* be used as a bribe by promising to show it to the women who go on this trip...(and then afterwards on the boards to be fair).

Oh I see. Wow, that is some refurbishment.

Yeah, we seem to have a nice gathering so far! Maybe we'll get even more.

Oh my gosh, this sounds like so much fun. I dont live very close to DL (16+ hour drive) And I was just there in October and May . My AP is good til Earlyish May, the 8th I think. But Im so ready to go again. An other idea, the entertainment book has a discount for the Hojo. If I can swing it and DSIL doesnt want to go in late April, early May I will have to join your group. It already sounds like a fun group of ladies.

I think it will be a blast! And I do believe the dates will work out as far as your AP, so hopefully you'll be able to come with us!

ok... do we all have to wear matching green thongs yet???? My DBF likes the butt, but don't know if he wants to share....


As long as we don't go for Mothers day weekend .. I'll try and get the x to take the kids so I can get out for a few days. heck.. we'll have to get a spot at the local campground and park the trailer.. $50 a night..

 

[fairycat]

This sounds like so much fun! I am sure I will have a AP again next year (it will be my 7th year having one) and I go pretty regularly being about 1 1/2 hours away from DL. I will probably only be able to do a Thurs-Friday thing though since I will be working the Renaissance Faire at that time of year, but would love to meet up with some of you lovely ladies.

Matching green thongs?? OMG, now that's a scary thought, at least in my case.

But if your going to go with the green thong, you'll need some hot lime green shoes, and shoes are my speciality...... Let's see, what about these:

Don't worry, we won't go over Mother's Day. I don't think that would work for anyone. I know I need to be home for the kid's burnt breakfast in bed and the homemade cards.

Well, even if you can only come part of the time, it's better then nothing right?! Welcome aboard!
