Ladies-only trip dates!! Update post 1 re: Roommates

[keliblue]

Yes it is! (oh man, now I have that song stuck in my head! ) lol

I went to a private school in Glendale not too far from Glendale High. It was called Glendale Adventist Academy. Kind of small so you may not have heard of it.
Then after I was married we lived in a condo right across from the Galleria. And my DH worked at the Glendale Adventist Medical Center.

BTW, I love Lake Tahoe! My husband and I honeymooned there. Beautiful up there.

Well, I really hope you decide to join us!!

Don't be suprised if I decide to tag along I love a good party with the gals

What is this wonderful thread I happened upon? A trip to disney without kids or husband with other women who share the same love for disney so cool! I think that us mothers and wives deserve a trip like this for all the hard work we do all year long. I am a party person, of course in retirement because of children but I still love to have a good time. Wine, dinner, dancing, of course after a little more drinking. I am a little bit of a shy person but once I have acclimated myself with a crowd I am a pretty fun and outgoing person. (I sound like I am writing a personal add haha) I am definitely going to consider this. Hopefully I can get to know some of you great women a little better. A lot of my friends are not quite to the kid stage of their life yet so its harder to hang out. It would be nice to meet people who also have multiple kids(I have three) and also share the same interests. Most of my friends are not disney fans like ME. I have friends who have only one kid who also don't understand how difficult it is when the children out number you. Well enough venting hope to get to know you guys. Anyone from the great state of Maryland?

Do you like Pina Coladas and getting caught in the rain?

We would love to have you join us!!

It's a great group of ladies and I am sure you'd fit right in! They all love to eat and drink which is perfect since the Epcot Food and Wine Festival will be going on while we are there!!

I have four kids ages 6, 6, 10, & 12, so I know how hard it is and sometimes you just gotta get away and bring that party person out of retirement.

If you have any questions at all please feel free to send me a PM and I'll help ya out.

Oooh, I'm so excited. I might be able to actually do this! Whoo hoo! I've been wanting to go for so long with just adults! But, when I've looked at DH and I doing it, it just seems like so much for just two of us!
Plus, I just found out that my work has some really good discounts on tickets! Yay! Where should I be watching for more info?

Hi there! We'd love to have you come along!!

We have a Chat thread where you can see pics from the first trip on page one, and then you can jump to the last page and start chatting with those going in November. http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1045076

We also have a roommate thread that I see you found.
http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1337867

And we have a trip Reference thread that is just for lists and other important trip info that you can keep an eye on. Right now basically all we are doing is getting the word out, and getting to know the new members of the trip. We have the dates out and the resort chosen (POP), and a few have made their reservations already.
You can see that on the reference thread. http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1313752

Everything happens for a reason right??? Well, this thread caught my eye for a reason I guess! BECAUSE I WANT TO GO TOO!!!!!!!!!!And of course I need it, deserve it, yada, yada, yada....

Without going to the website to price it...what does the room and tix cost during that timeframe?

Hi there!! Yes, everything happens for a reason and you must join us!

About the room, some people called and had a code they were able to use. Also if you have AAA then you can get a room only discount. There are lots of different ways to book it. If you think you will be going often, you could even look into getting an AP, and that will give you discounts on things too.

If you pop onto the chat thread there are some real experts there who go to WDW all the time, who can help you out.

I just priced it through AAA, and with 6 day hoppers, 5 night hotel, and the DDP, with tax, I get a total of $921. They said the room portion of that is approx. $425. I'm looking to split the cost with 2 or 3 other people, to bring that portion of the cost down. I'm not absolutely married to the idea of the DDP, I've also considered switching to come in on Friday, instead of Thursday to cut down on costs. I really want to make this happen!

For those looking for a roomie, the best way to do it, is to just get chatting on the main Chat Thread. That's where you will get to know more of the ladies and perhaps find some one you click with and would like to room with.

Last year we were all new so the ladies signed up and I matched people up. This year because we are staying at a value resort, alot of the ladies from last time are staying solo or are matching up with the same roommates from last time.

I won't be trying to match people up this time. We have the roomie thread where you can post that you are searching for a roomie.

My advice for the newer ladies is you really just have to get out there and start chatting and once you do that, I guarantee you will have a better chance of finding someone you'd like to stay with.

All of our threads are on the DIS Meets board, so they are pretty easy to find. And it says in the title what each one is.

If anyone has any questions or needs help with anything just let me know.

zoe, if you drop the ddp, which is about $40 per night, you could drop that price down another $200.

if you buy the hopper tickets from an outside source such as underground tourist, maple leaf, etc. you can get more of a discount on the tickets.

split the room with one other person and that would be $214.50 for the room for 5 nights for you. that would be a good deal for you.

i think that the value resorts rooms are a tad small for 3 women to share.
but then, there might be someone on the threads that would think it could work out fine.

i am never in my room except to sleep basically. i don't spend time in it during the day. if you could get a couple of gals that leave the room in the morning and return later at night, that could fly if all they wanted was a bed.
i always stay solo, my sleep habits are not good. if i can't sleep i get up and read or i turn the tv on at night which would be a problem for a roommate. i get up early every morning around 6 and out of the room by 6:50 each morning. i return between 11:00 - midnight on most nights.
it is rare for me to be in the room early in the evening unless i am completely worn out.




and then when i return home, i need a vacation to recover from my vacation..........
