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

[Belle Ella]

Trudi's sure got a point about it being a good idea to try and drive with someone who's staying at the same location or close to. Maybe it would be a good idea to put where the cars/drivers available will be staying to help us when we figure out who will drive with who to make it a little easier? I dunno.

And I may have to amend how many people I can possibly take. I'm trying to talk a friend into going since we've got room in our studio at the villas. If she does I'd be dragging her along and could only take 2. I'm not sure yet though.

Hi Beth couple of things if that is ok.

I am SO excited that the CoD trip was moved since we are not getting in from our Cruise till 8 and then by the time we get our bags and transport to the park it might not be till 9 or 10. Shane is flying into LAX at 10:30 and so hopefully will be to the parks to take over the girls by 12. If that works out I know mom and I would LOVE to go. We have never been and I KNOW we won't be able to make the diva trip next year because we are taking Katy for a birthday trip on New Year's next year and won't be able to get back the next month.

We won't have a car either but if there is no room I am sure mom would be willing to even take a cab if we had to.

So if that is ok could you add us to the list and we would just need to either get directions and a time or where to meet up.

Also we are hoping to do the group pic on Sat. Otherwise I don't think we are planning on doing any of the other group activities because of Shane and the girls.

MEL I know I mentioned something about the pink shirt but I haven't heard anything and I see some are sending checks. If I somehow got missed could you please let me know how much to send and your addy again thanks. I know I sent you a check already for mom and I for last year's purple but I wanted the pink as well. THANKS!!

And I would love a name tag and itinerary. Would be happy to pay for whatever. Maybe Laurie or someone who is going to M&G could pick it up for me?? I still have my lanyard and would love the itinerary so if there is something mom and/or myself can stop by if Shane and the girls are off riding rides. Thanks.

 

[Belle Ella]

BTW, if anyone is in need of or would like a new signature let me know! I've got some time to work on them over the next week.

 

[DizNee Luver]

I'll add your name to the same car as Trudi.

I could go with you and help you out, keep you from temptation. I am not much of a shopper. I'd have no problem walking in, looking all around and walking out with nothing.
When I shop with my sister-in-law, she does the shopping while I usually end up taking on the role of the man. You know, sitting on the chair outside the dressing room, holding her purse, fetching different sizes and reassuring her that no, those pants don't make her look fat.

Thanx Beth!!

And YES!! My hubby would be thrilled if you went with me & kept me from over spending....... So I guess that means you have to go now, I'm hiring you to keep me in line!! you know me, gonna keep working on getting you there..........

I would. Something with Tink or Marie maybe...Thanks!

 

[Belle Ella]

Laurie - I can help keep you in line if you can help keep me in line. Deal?

Sarah - Sure thing!

 

[DizNee Luver]

Laurie - I can help keep you in line if you can help keep me in line. Deal?

(Shhhh, don't say anything, but that was just a ploy to get Beth to come to Anaheim for the trip!!)

On the front page, I actually listed the CoD sign-ups in the same post as the roommate/hotel list.

Hi Kelly. I will add you and your mom to the CoD list. I doubt you'll need a cab. There seem to be plenty of cars.

As for the pink tee, I tagged you in a post on FB where you can find all that info. Hope that helps!

BTW, if anyone is in need of or would like a new signature let me know! I've got some time to work on them over the next week.

I love your signatures! They rock.

And YES!! My hubby would be thrilled if you went with me & kept me from over spending....... So I guess that means you have to go now, I'm hiring you to keep me in line!!

Hiring me, huh? Well, my services don't come cheap. You might be better off with the multiple bags of Disney loot!!

 

[MrsPinup]

Thanks for the tips Jen! I already have a box of green tea so I'm going to try this out .

Dare I say that I'm thinking about doing the 1/2 Marathon in September . You put the idea into my head on FB and now I'm seriously considering it. I haven't ran since high school so this should be interesting . However, I like the idea of having a fitness goal to keep me motivated so as long as I remember to sign up before it sells out, I'll be there .

Do it!!! You will be glad you did.

Katie, you should sign up for the Half in September Or if you want to start small do the 5K. I had to work my way up. Wait, I am working my way up, haha.

Don't tell her that She can fit a 5K in while she works her way up.

Hugs to Steph and Laurie

My son is still up and down - and this down is VERY stinky!!! We have lit candles trying to mask the stench. As a boy, he finds this funny

Who is driving from GCH? Now that I am thinking about it, hauling goodies through the bag checks would be a nightmare!

 

[Belle Ella]

I will be.

 

[LisaCat]

to Steph and Laurie and anyone else who might be in need of one.

I'm thinking that those staying at the Carousel and going to CoD ride with me and Sarah, that way you and your loot will be delivered right back to the hotel rather than HoJo's. If people shop like I do it's a lot to carry back to your hotel. I have room for 3 others so anyone interested just let me know.

Patrice and I are at Carousel!

 

[kandyk]

I'll be leaving from GCH too.

 

[VintageDisneyRules]

Thanx Trudi!!

I'm staying at the Ramada Inn Maingate.....so catching a ride from the Carousel would be a way shorter walk for me & all my stuff (I had a couple big bags last time.....lol) -vs- the HoJo. If I could ride with you that would be awesome!

Patrice and I are at Carousel!

ok, all 3 of you are riding with me and Sarah.
Will all of you be at the BBQ? If so we'll all walk to my car together.

 

[VintageDisneyRules]

Beth, please make a note of the above on the ride list.

 

[funnygarcia]

AS FOR THE MEET -N- GREET SNACK TABLE:

I DO ASK THAT IF YOU ARE MAKING A SPECIAL THING/BRINGING A SPECIAL THING (those doing that know who they are)......MAKE SURE THERE IS ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE, SINCE IT'S A SPECIAL ITEM.

RIGHT NOW WE HAVE 45, BUT I'D LIKE TO HAVE A FEW SPARES JUST IN CASE.

I have more than enough now.

I could crack some whip and get the slave boy.....umm, I mean my very creative and adoring husband .... back to the assembly line for a few more pieces. I sneered at a few, put in the reject pile.

I've slowly been losing my dad over the years, due to the alzheimer's. I don't want him to suffer & really don't know if he's really "living".....but these are not things anyone ever wants to face. Heavy sigh........

Back to the happy~~~ 36 DAYS DIVA'S!!!!!!!

Yes, I'll be at the BBQ! Thanx so much!!

Thanx Jen & Bernice!

 

[sierranevada]

I'll be leaving from GCH too.

My friend, LisaDog and I are also at the Grand. Can we ride with you?

 

[kelmac284]

Beth thanks so much for the info on the shirts. I think Mel and I have it all coordinated now. And can you add mom and I to the list of CoD people that need a ride? Like I said if there is not enough room we can prob grab a cab if we need to. But our plan is once we get to the resort we need to check in at our hotel and then we will head to the park. We just need to meet up with Shane so he can take over the girls and then we will be available. So I would just need to know where to meet up with whoever is driving. We can meet at the BBQ or wherever else is convenient.

Thanks!

P.S. Laurie prayers to you and your family!!

 

[tinkermell]

I'll be leaving from GCH too.

I'm also at the Grand. Is there room for one more?

Thanks!

 

[mommaU4]

Good morning, ladies!!

Beth, please make a note of the above on the ride list.

Done.

My friend, LisaDog and I are also at the Grand. Can we ride with you?

I added you to Kandace's car since your four are all at the Grand. (If this is not okay, just let me know and I can change it)

I'm also at the Grand. Is there room for one more?

Thanks!

I've got a PM out to Tammy. Even thought she's listed on the needing a ride part, she posted on FB that she actually has a Tahoe which should fit several ladies. She's also at the GCH, so I'll let you know once I hear back from her. Hopefully she can take not only you, but a couple of her roommates as well.
