~How TWO trips became...who knows? ~ It's a TRIP! and an upgrade.... 4/22

[All7OfUs]

NO FREAKING WAY! I can't believe it!

Now, I wonder if it's possible, even just a little bit, possible, if you would get another one for a trip, say in Sept, 2010?!

Oh man, I am so hopin' so! I am prepared to pay OOP for all of my trip, but wouldn't it just be some serious extra cool if we could get one too??

Hey maroo! One quick question...there is something red white and blue between the passproters and the black adventures note book. I can't figure out what it is...just me I guess. Iv'e lived over seas too long.

Hello Bekka!!!
I totally forgot to ask everyone...

I have NO idea what that is either??

Any clue anyone?

I'll bet it is a car antenna topper.


and.....WOW!!!!! free dining pin also?!?! how totally great!

We will definitely get some kind of deal... now what kind of deal...who knows?

I'll bet it is a car antenna topper.

I am so, so excited!!! Thanks, you are so sweet. I don't think I deserve anything. But it is interesting I pretty much saved almost exactly what I donated last week. Funny how that works out.

For the last couple of years, guests on the Sept. free dining plan have been able to book a bounceback free dining trip for the following year. So, make sure Maroo is ready to book for Sept 2010 when she's there in 2009 and you might just get lucky.

 

[MeMom]

Why, you ask...

I got a PIN!!!



Free DINING baby!!!


** THINK DECEMBER TRIP! That's right! Free Dining in DECEMBER!


PLUS (drum roll please)...

The 5 days that all SEVEN of us are there! That is 6 adults and 1 child with FREE DINING for our stay!!!


I am so excited! (can you tell?)

Yes, I can tell, and that is very exciting!
Congratulations on that!

A free dining pin for December!!!! That is awesome - congrats! This just proves that good things do happen to good people! I would love to get a free dining pin for the winter - we took advantage of free dining in November and loved it! However, DH says no more Disney for awhile - we burnt him out with three trips in 20 months.

Liesa - I would think free dining would be offered next Sept since they have been offering it every Sept for a few years (though you never know with Disney) and maybe Mary will get offered the bounceback promotion during her trip like hematite153 mentioned so you can lock it in this year.

Mary - thanks for the new trip cheat sheet and for including out Magic Meets jaunt! I am so excited!!! Though you better make sure you know my DIS user name before you make shirts for us (go back and check your cheat sheet).

Oh yes!! The soldiers...generals (what is our rank again?!?!) have this in our strategy for booking for Sept 2010!! Among some other tricks we have up our sleeves!

Yes, I can tell, and that is very exciting!
Congratulations on that!

Thank you so much!! I am completely excited!!!

Yeah...between you (jenb1023) and Lori (Matt1026) I am totally confused!!!

lol

But it is fixed. And I added that we will probably be having a special guest join us... BUT... I am going to have to keep that one a secret a little while longer. I am sure I can come up with some creative way to share our special guest with my DISer friends! So, you can't tell.


And mums the word on any shirt making, too! What shirts?!?

No worries on the user name! (Though I just checked and it was still wrong - the boards were giving me a hard time last night so your edit might not have worked.)

And I know nothing about secret guests or anything else!

Ready and willing, baby! But, I think we're hoping for a tad more than that. Let's see what comes of it. At the very least, we'll go free dining for sure.

That's certainly what we're hoping for! keep your fingers crossed

Let's just all have a shirt making fest/ swap, okay?

Nice loot and even nicer code! Congratulations!!!

I am not going to count this as a "real" update...

Just a bonus for those of you guys that are still reading this crazy pre-trippie!!!


On July 4th, I was invited to a party at my cousin's house. She is a DISer, by the way! So say Hi to Kay! (Although I doubt she actually reads this? If so...I triple dog dare you to actually post! - she is a lurker!) Anyway, Hi Kay!


Have you guys ever played the "game" where you put Mentos in a Diet Coke bottle?!?


Here are the kids BEFORE they put Mentos in the Diet Coke bottle. Unsuspecting kids. Bless them. They had a handful of Mentos and know that the object is putting as many as you can as fast as you can in the Diet Coke bottle!

And very, very soon AFTER they put Mentos in the Diet Coke bottle. They looked like THIS...

And even this one is just priceless!!

That is just your bonus Maroo update for the day!

And a "real" update should be coming up shortly.

 

[that's nice]

Congrats on the pin!!!!!!!

Disney sent me 2 separate emails with this pin on 2 of my email addresses. One for my DW and one for me! YEAH! I must be on some mailing list now!!!!

T-shirts that aren't supposed to be and surprise guests........ maybe you will be letting us, the readers, know something soon?

 

[jenb1023]

Love the 4th of July photos!!! We will have to try that trick!

Truly sorry for the delay. I thought I was doing it right then...but something happened at my condo and I had to go check it out. Involved an ambulance and one of my neighbors. So I am done for the night, probably. I am hot and have to go get another shower.

Hopefully will do a good update tomorrow, I promise!!!!

Love the 4th of July photos!!! We will have to try that trick!

Yes, it was FUN to watch! and the kids LOVED it!

 

[eyor44]

That was so funny about the mentos. I didn't know it would really work. I'm gonna have to keep a couple of my coupons and buy some.
