Girls Trip~OLD THREAD (see first post for link to new one)

I CAN be a wee intimidating.



And now I am gathering my posse to back me up.

And never let this factoid escape your notice, the streets of Calcutta....are rough. A person could get in trouble there. Just sayin'.

Trouble? In Calcutta? WhatchyoutalkinWillis???

 

[grumpyvet]

They were talking about another Michelle. I've been concerned about when and how long I could come because I've been out on short term disability and scheduled to go back to work on Feb. 1. That means (a) I don't have much money and (b) I won't have any time off available. But, I am going to be there for Saturday and Sunday. It will be good to see you! Zoe's been asking about Claire, we should really try to get together!

No money stinks....I have been hanging on to my job with my fingernails since the place is under new ownership. My hours are down 20% (except the last two months where I am working way extra).

Are you going to be able to run around the parks? On Sunday one of the people I was "touring" with had to wear a cervical collar on all the rides, and she was only going on stuff like JC and IASM. Just standing looked painful...

 

[funnygarcia]

Are there any plans for group rides?

Yes please! Torturing young cast members makes for delightfully fun times
Muahahhahahhaaaaaaaaaaa

CM: How many in your party?
Diva: ohh about 40, give or take a few
CM: uhhh ummmm
(desperately trying to figure out how many boats we need)
Divas: .... arguing among themselves who sits where on Pirates...

Happily gliding away, until we get to the first drop and
screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeech, thunk!
We all burst out laughing and cheering --woohooo we broke Pirates!!

Speculate if it will be a "101" and how wet will our shoes be for the rest of the day.












Can't wait!!!

Trouble? In Calcutta? WhatchyoutalkinWillis???

Shhhhhhh. The REAL Calcutta, not our Calcutta. I am just trying to coerce Beth with a little ambiguous threats and hints.

My money is on this team - isn't this most of their team from Mouse Adventure?

Everyone is going to have to have their A game on to beat this team.

Well, after our performance in WDW, I don't think the other teams have much to worry about!

Only because the Flying Monkey Butlers are not in the running.

Hahahahahahahahahaha. Because we are SO competitive. (I do mouseadventure with another DIVA with our two daughters and we, well, kind of stink. But, we always eat lunch and have icecream and have a wonderful amazing day that I would not miss for love nor money!!!)

Are you doing MA in March? I thought I saw something you posted on FB but can't remember...

 

[Queenbillabong]

Welcome Jamay

We can change La Brea if need be. Are we all at the Grand? Do we want to eat at WWS? I think HJ Bakery would be okay if we went staight there at 9 am. Bridget, Theresa, Mel - what do you think? Do you just want to brave the refurb?

Bree and I ordered our t-shirts for the M&G from zazzle. I hope they turn out cute!

Linda - I'm actually having to bail on the trip this year. I haven't said much, but we will be moving at the end of February, so it's just not going to work out this year. Have a really nice drink for me, 'K??

BTW - I love ordering shirts from Zazzle. They always do a great job

Theresa can't make the trip. She asked me to take her name down but I just haven't done it yet, so it will just be you few for that meal.


The last time I did the hunt, while everyone else took off running, we casually made our way to Riverbelle for breakfast. That's my kind of hunt, the hunt for eggs and bacon.

True dat - no trippy for me right now. I'll be celebrating my b-day by unpacking boxes - woo hoo.

...... and I think we rocked at hunting for eggs and bacon (and Mickey pancakes!). I remember looking out the windows and seeing teams rushing by in the rain as Heather, Shirley, you, and I sat there in the warmth, enjoying our yummy brekkie Ahhh, good times


I just found out that Alaska Air has a sucky way to deal with trip cancellations. I've had to cancel flights before with Allegiant and they just subtract whatever cancellation fee from the credit, but with Alaska you have to pay the fee and then get the entire ticket price you paid as a credit. Boo hiss.

 

[grumpyvet]

Are you doing MA in March? I thought I saw something you posted on FB but can't remember...

Probably. Talked about it, and we have such an awesome team name, it would be such a shame to waste it.

We have a huge amount of fun. I am THE MA ambassador. Apparently the whole mom look I have going makes me more approachable so I passed out my cards within the first hour and a half.....

Yes please! Torturing young cast members makes for delightfully fun times
Muahahhahahhaaaaaaaaaaa

Can't wait!!!

It is pretty amazing how quickly they do do the math though.

I do not recommend a Splash group trip. Load those logs up with adults, and there is no doubt you end up with squishy shoes for the day!!!

 

[VintageDisneyRules]

Hello everyone my name is Jamay I am Kandace's friend. I can't wait to meet you all in a few weeks.

Hello and WELCOME !!!

 

[VintageDisneyRules]

Beth, you don't have Sarah and myself down on the hotel list. We're staying at the Carousel Inn.

 

[mommaU4]

I cannot believe I have been away for a week! Just got caught up and I am so excited about the SH! Hi team Can't wait to start planning outfits and names!!!

I can't wait to see everyone's creativity!

Yes please! Torturing young cast members makes for delightfully fun times
Muahahhahahhaaaaaaaaaaa

I am wise to your sneaky ways.

Linda - I'm actually having to bail on the trip this year. I haven't said much, but we will be moving at the end of February, so it's just not going to work out this year.

Good luck with the move! Send me all the junk you don't want!

Beth, you don't have Sarah and myself down on the hotel list. We're staying at the Carousel Inn.

So, you're not sleeping on a park bench?


I'll add you now.


Nighty night, ladies!

 

[LisaCat]

Whoopie....It's Scavy Hunt Team Time ​

Team 1:
Linda/lulubelle
Bree/lulubellesDD
Lisa/LisaCat
Trish

So there you have it . The theme is "DIS Divas Amazing I Spy" (mixture of Amazing Race & I Spy) so get creative with your team names and costumes.

.

Woo hoo! Thanks, Katie!

 

[LisaCat]

Lisa - excited to "walk" the SH with you and Trish!

Woo hoo! I sent Patrice an email and asked if she has any suggestions for a team name. She's not on Facebook anymore, so I will have to be the communication link. I'll message you and Brianne on FB......

 

[LisaCat]

Beth, you don't have Sarah and myself down on the hotel list. We're staying at the Carousel Inn.

Yay! Maybe we'll be neighbors!

 

[Queenbillabong]

Can I ask how much a bottle of Magicale costs? Cause I would love to have some more - I forgot how you even get it.

I'm going to say around $25 if you get it at a gift shop (GCH or PP). I can't remember the exact price (it's been a while ). It was $45 for a bottle at Wine Country.

Good luck with the move! Send me all the junk you don't want!

Trust me, you don't want me to do that. Turns out Frank is somewhat of a modified hoarder. Did you know that I have 3 extra coffee machines stashed around the place ????

 

[mommaU4]

Good morning, ladies!! Happy Wednesday! I'm so glad this week is half over. I hope it's been a good one so far for everyone.

Today I get the pleasure (NOT!) of having a repairman hanging out in my house for a couple hours. Our master bathroom shower is leaking so that needs repair, along with some of the flooring around the shower. The good news is, we don't have to pay for it since we are renters. The bad news is, the guy coming to fix it is very creepy and unpleasant, and I do not look forward to being home alone with him for however long it will take to fix the problem. Oh well, at least it will get done.

Trust me, you don't want me to do that. Turns out Frank is somewhat of a modified hoarder. Did you know that I have 3 extra coffee machines stashed around the place ????

Are you going to have a yard sale? Make some extra moola? You should! Get some extra stripper cash for the next time you are in Vegas.

 

[mommaU4]

Beth!

Thank you!

Jamay,
Welcome to the boards!
It will be a pleasure to meet you and Kandace next month.

Bernice, the big group rides are fun!

LOL..... Theresa, You never know when you might have to replace a coffee pot!



oooooooh. And can I just say how excited I am to see what names and stuff you ladies come up with for the hunt!

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!

 

[MamaKate]

Oh! Can I ask how much a bottle of Magicale costs? Cause I would love to have some more - I forgot how you even get it.

Speaking of Magicale, I just found a bottle last week when I was organizing my room . I don't know how I forgot about that baby, but I will be bringing it on this trip if you'd like a glass .

 

[MamaKate]

Linda - I'm actually having to bail on the trip this year. I haven't said much, but we will be moving at the end of February, so it's just not going to work out this year.

First Beth now you!!! Me no happy!

Good luck with the move though are you moving far??

 

[kandyk]

Hello Jamay. How do you pronounce your name? I am guessing another spelling of Jamie?

I'm not sure how much Jamay is on here so I will reply for her. It's actually pronounced Ja-May. Her dis name is MaJay which is what my son used to call her when he was little and couldn't pronounce Jamay correctly. So cute...

I am so excited about the scavenger hunt teams! I never thought it would be so hard to come up with a name, it's easy to get race into it but I am really struggling with spy. I am sure our awesome team will come up with something that will be great.
