I just got the PM about the shirts that Capri is ordering. Are we still doing the ones with Callie as well?

Yep! But I won't be taking orders for another couple weeks. Hope that's ok.

Maybe someone with more info can chime in about the schedule on Friday? I know that there was lunch at the Blue Bayou followed by the VIP tour (which I believe is a minimum of 4 hours?) So, even if the tour didn't start until 2 p.m. it would be "over" by 6 p.m. and we could make wine tasting. UNLESS of course we were also doing Fantasmic/fireworks that night.

I'm with Callie--I think the Wine Tasting with/DEP would win for me too over HOB. (I LOVE the Electrical Parade--that music!) Which means wine tasting on Saturday . . . . .

 

[toocherie]

Ok, so I think someone was talking many days ago about bringing a blender for margaritas or what have you . . . . I have an idea . . . . which I may have to experiment with this weekend

Dole Whip Margaritas!!!!!!!!!!

Whatdya all think?

If I've picked myself up off the ground from my experiment I'll let you know how they are!

I'm with whatever works out, but it does sound like Saturday might be the better choice though.
Start saving that money girls. This is getting more pricey by the hour. (Or should I say minute.........second? )

I agree that any F&W stuff might have to be shifted to Saturday for you girls wanting to do those or back out of the VIP tour to get them in on Friday.

I think we need to hear from Tink33 again with both her list of people for the VIP and what time the tour would start and the times/dates of the things we get special viewing for again. (I think her plan was great that she listed)

I think there might be even more adding and deleting of people given the change in finances and this F&W schedule.

OH Lesley!!!!! rofl

Totally fine with me!!!

 

[toocherie]

It's fine with me too--not sure if I was supposed to tell you I wanted to get one of your shirts too, but this will be the fyi!

Thanks Callie!

Sounds like they only take so many ressies for the Wine Tasting. If so, then we need to pick a day, and go with it.

Does Saturday look good?

What say you?

Saturday sounds good, with the DEP, right? And Fireworks/Fantasmic on Friday night? Hope I'm understanding all of this

One thing I was thinking, if we do this on Saturday night, we probably won't do HoB, right? What about the Brunch on Sunday morning, there are seatings at 10am and 1pm.

I like that, "What say you?" (Bill, right?)

Are you are asking where I get "What say you" from??
It's from Jack Sparrow!!

"Yo ho! Yo ho! A pirate's life for me." Woo Hoo!!

Oh, and I was already planning on skipping HOB anyways. So I guess, I shouldn't comment on that. Anyways, there might be some ladies that want to do that over wine tasting.

You know...........wine tasting is an acquired taste. Imagine that comment in an very uppity drawly voice if you can.

Hi Everyone!
Just want to chime in. I agree that we should do the VIP tour with Fireworks/Fantasmic on Friday and Wine tasting/Electrical Parade Sat. I did this last year and it was very good and well worth it. I see the price went up from $45 to $55 but you do get to eat as much as you want (equates to a meal) and drink as much as you like (I was feeling pretty good ) and a non crowded view of the parade. You feel like you are at an upscale outdoor cocktail party - but without dressing up. The night we went it was sold out so as soon as we are sure of our plans, I think we should start booking it. I guess HOB is out, but that is fine for me.

 

[DangerMouse]

Ok, I'm good with doing the Wine Tasting on Saturday night. How soon do you think they will sell out? Do I need to book tonight or can it wait until later this weekend? (I need to check with my friend who is coming with).

 

[toocherie]

Ok--I'm going to go ahead and book Saturday night--I don't think I was planning on HOB anyway.

 

[lulubelle]

I am sure we have a week or so to firm up plans. I don't think it will sell out until the event gets closer. Last year the first thing to sell out was the Napa Rose cooking school session. It was $350 and went up to $400 this year. Can you imagine paying that much $$ to prepare and enjoy just one meal? That is crazy to me! Hopefully as the weekend progresses we will hear from others regarding the proposed itinerary.

 

[toocherie]

Ok--I'll wait . . . and no . . . I can't imagine paying $400 for one meal--even if you do get a chef's coat (which I would never wear anyway because when I cook I try to be as comfortable as possible!)

 

[Belle1997]

ok I am a little slow what is HOB?

Cathy and I would like to do the wine tasting on Saturday too. Maybe we could switch our HOB dinner to Friday? (Sometime like 6:00pm - 6:30pm.....late enough to be after our VIP tour, but early enough so we easily make our VIP seating time for fireworks and Fantasmic.)

Do you think that would be possible?

Hi ladies. I see the F&W info is out. I added that to the front page.

I have to say that even though we have 44 ladies signed up on the front page, we only have between 12-15 that post here on a regular basis.

Now I realize that some might just read and not post, and we all get busy at times, but I hope that those we haven't seen in awhile will check in so we know that they are still interested in going and also weigh in on what they'd like to do and when.

It's getting down to the time to start finalizing plans and making reservations.
