Glenda's September 2008 WDW Adventure!

[MainStMandy]

hmmm you wanna know where in Pa

Lol...you know what they say about people who hijack the FedEx truck right??

P.S. OK...that's like the 3rd page in a row I have started!! Maybe I should play the lotto!!

 

[Nie0214]

Well you can always hang out with us if they are done for the night. I have a feeling that will happen to me at least once!!

That's probably what will end up happening.

 

[jamstew]

Thanks Jamie! I may be interested - I usually don't much worry about where we are going to eat, but when I'm flying solo I tend to just do counter service or quick-grab food - might be nice to actually have a real meal at some point. Let me know when you've got your list of ADLs when you get home...I'll mostly be thinking about Sunday & Monday. Saturday I'll probably just hit Rainforest when I drive up, and Tuesday I've got dinner paid for by vendors at my conference.

Ah, Sunday & Monday I know! Sunday night, I have Narcoosee's at 8:10, although I'm trying to move it closer to 8:30. I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem to add one person. Monday night is Boma with this group, and I don't know if there's still an extra seat. Maybe aubriee will post the answer to that.

 

[aubriee]

I can't wait to see Timmy's expression when she gets it!! where on the "other site" did you go get jibbitz??
:

I won 25 of them from a seller (topgungirls) on ebay. I offered her $9.00, she accepted the offer, and let me choose the 25 I wanted. Shipping was reasonable too. I got them here for $13.99. You can't beat that!

Lol...you know what they say about people who hijack the FedEx truck right??

Watch it ladies! My eldest son drives for Fed Ex. There will be no talk of hijacking.

As a matter of fact, there is one empty seat for our 6:30pm Boma ADR on Sept 8th. If you want it, Zackiedawg, just let me know and PM Earl your phone number and email address. Oh, you might also want to PM me your cell phone number and I'll do the same, in case something happens down there. I just realized that right now we have my mom, myself, ANTS, Kat, Jamie, and Nancy for that meal. My husband might appreciate another male at the table, then again he loves to talk and never meets a stranger, so he'd probably not even notice

ra..ra..ra. ru..ru..ru.. c'mon Justin... come sign in... and dont keep us waitin'...


"grabs microphone.." No pressure.. No pressure...

 

[earljam]

Lol they are probably still recovering

me three!!!!!!!!

Hmmm Earl and DW ... are both OK have not seen you for a couple of days.. hope all is well

We're all recovered and everything is great. We've just been really busy, summer time is filled with parties and activities. We're busy everyday till we leave for vacation.
That's a good thing cause time will fly!!!

Oh we are going to Cali Grille too!! I can't wait. the pork with polenta is my FAVORITE!! I wish we could have gotten ressies closer to firework time, but oh well.

ETA: I love when I start a new page...off to a meeting!

Colleen and I get there on the 7th and we'll be at the beirgarten for dinner. After dinner we should get together for 1 or 8 drinks around the world.

 

[earljam]

Hello all. I just joined the boards, and in my 'welcome' thread, MainStMandy gave me a link to this thread.

My name is Earl and my wife is Colleen, it's very nice to meet you. I hope to share a ride or a drink with you while we're in the world.

 

[zackiedawg]

Well, if it's available and not leaving anyone else out in the cold, I'd be willing to take that extra seat at Boma. Offer's much appreciated! I figured on having lots of counter food for those first 3 days...but it'll be nice to get a real meal.

Earl and Colleen...thanks for the welcome! This trip will be a little shorter than normal for me, only because I've got to devote Tues and Wed to my conference - but Sat night through Monday night, I'll just be roaming around enjoying being on vacation...so hopefully I can run into some of the group here or there. What's this I hear about a green mickey? Is that how board members ID themselves in the parks? Is it something you order, or just make?

Sorry for the rookie questions. I feel like I'm in kindergarten here - I am constantly going back to the sticky thread with all the abbreviations, because I have no idea what anyone is talking about when they post all those initials!

They are called LGMH (Lime Green Mickey Head), you can get them at Home Depot in the paint-chip aisles. Disney paint has Mickey-Mouse shaped paint-chips and the official DIS color is "Alien Green". You can peel the Mickey head off the paper backing, glue/tape/laminate it to another head, punch a hole and loop some string through it.. make whatever you want with it. =) People put them on their bags, hotel room windows, etc.

 

[Glendamax]

Ok let's see what we have so far

Group Meet ups (NOT DINING)

I Bolded the ones I'm doing above. I really want to do 8trax on Thurs. Will see if my feet and legs will let me! How much is it to get in?

And I totally just ruined the surprise tea party to my mom since I needed her to pick out a dress that would fit. She is SOOOOOOOO excited!

Dont worry about ruing the surprise! At least she's SUPER excited!

OH by the way guess what came in the mail yesterday???? Come on take a guess just one little bitty guess

http://www.shoestoboot.com/moreinfo.cfm?Product_ID=2647&Category=385

Let me put on my pirate gear . . . gotta steal that booty!

I may also be at the rope drop at AK. We will have to see.

I hope you can make it. If not, I'll totally understand! I've missed some meets too, due to some much needed down time!

I know what you mean! I used to be soooo disappointed when I'd come across a Trip Report I wanted to read, only not to understand MOST of it!

Glad to hear you both recovered...

Welcome to the DIS! Just sent you a PM with my cell phone number adding you to the Boma ADR. If you like character meals, we still have two empty seats at Chef Mickey's at 8:15am on Sun 7th. I'm going to post a list of the ADRs again with any available seats listed, if you are interested in any of them. Just let me know. Rich, if you accuse me of being like our mutual friend, I swear I'll invite her to share your cabin on the cruise.

As far as the Lime Green Mickey heads, I'm glad you mentioned them. I need to make me some more tags. My husband wouldn't be caught dead with a LGMH on him, but you'll see one hanging from my bag, with my screen name on it. I usually just buy one of those self laminating luggage tag thingy's from Wal Marts, cut out two LGMH from Home Depot, glue them together, write my screen name on them, laminate them, put the rubber strap thingy through the hole, and hang them from a bag. My mom will have an ECV this trip, so I may see about putting one on it.

 

[aubriee]

Just moved this list up, in case anyone needs it. Klofan, I still haven't heard from you. Let me know if you want me to add you and your friend to any of these. Spiceycat, you said something about maybe joining us at Cape May. If you are still interested in that one (or any of the others) just let me know. We'd be glad to have you. If this group is anything like the Dec group was, it's all very informal. Everyone just comes and goes as they please, eating a meal, maybe hanging out for awhile, or maybe leaving and doing their own thing. Whatever. It's fun to meet people from all over the US, but also great to hang out alone. This way we get the best of both worlds. I also still haven't been able to find out who Michelle is. I need to make sure she still plans to join us at Le Cellier. I haven't seen her post since she sent me a PM several months ago asking to join us and I don't know how to contact her, since I accidentally must have deleted my old PMs .

I still haven't been able to get in touch with Michelle about the Le Cellier ADR. I think I accidentally deleted the PM where she asked to join us. If anyone knows her, please have her PM me or Bart her cell phone number. Again Pat, any of the ADRs where I don't have others listed we will probably be seated at a table for four, so you (or anyone else ) are welcome to join us. I'm fairly quiet, but my mom and husband never meet a stranger. They'll talk your ear off.

 

[MainStMandy]

OMG you guys seriously overwhelmed me with all the posts.

I am definitely up for having some drinks around EPCOT the night of the 7th! Le Cellier is at 6:20 so whenever we get out after that.

Glenny I think you should come to 8trax so we can shake our booties!! (<----not like that)

I so don't want to be at work today. I leave in the morning for a weekend trip down to D.C. where I used to live and really don't want to be at work today. I even went grocery shopping this morning for road trip goodies to keep the dbf happy.
