Yes we will have to plan a meet for next year. Any ideas when you are heading down again?

I am thinking probably next October. Would love to go before than but not sure I can justify the airfare.

 

[tinkerbell87512]

Let me know if yall start to plan something for next year!!!

I know I'm def going but I don't know it we will have an official meet.

I am thinking probably next October. Would love to go before than but not sure I can justify the airfare.

I know the price of the plane ticket is CRAZY!!!

Wohooooo so yesterday was officially 2 months till my trip!!!

So I figure now is a good time to let you guys in on the details of the trip.

Let's see it's a 6 day, 5 night trip and I will be staying at Pop Century. I wanted to try All Star Movies but I thought about it the fact that Pop has it's own bus system out weighed.

Also this is a buget trip. I got the flight for free since I had enough credits on Soutwest rapid rewards. There will also be no dining reservations on this trip. I'm looking forward to trying some new counter service places!

Now here is the big thing...as many of you know from reading my other TR's each day is planned to a "T". Well not this time!!! I'm going to try "lets go with the flow" kind of trip. The only thing that is planned is Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party on the 16th. Which I still needs to get my ticket! I'm excited to try this kind of trip because I feel like my whole life (not just my trips) are always so planned that it will be nice for 6 days to just relax. We will see how long that lasts though. Hopefully I don't break 3 days before and make a schedule.

So those are the details. I'm so excited for this trip to finally see the Christmas lights!!! LESS THAN 2 MONTHS TO GO!!!

that is the day we are going to the party, hopefully. I have to wait and see if they mail me those, I had to exhange my Halloween tix for them.

A "no plans" trip should be a nice change of pace for you.

 

[wdwgirl03]

"Go with the flow" trips are always good. Heck, that's pretty much what we do all the time. We have a couple traditions we stick to (like going to the MK our first morning) but other than that we usually don't even decide which park we're going to until the night before!

You are going to LOVE the Christmas lights/decorations.

Yay for 2 months!

 

[Hillary12.8.07]

I'm so excited to read this TR!!

Your trip sounds very similiar to ours, we are on a budget too, and are only making like one dining reservation. Very go w/the flow, eating at CS, and only 2-3 park days. I can't wait to read about some of the places you go, since we'll be doing mostly CS too. And I can't WAIT to hear what you think about all the decorations and stuff. It's amazing. And the Christmas Party...I think we may do that too, not totally decided.

Yay for 2 months! It will be here before you know it!!!

 

[scottny]

oops, I thought I was 2 months and I am actually 3 months.

 

[lauren_elizabeth]

Yay for only having 2 months left! Our trips are coming up SO SOON!

YAY! You're not planning! Good for you. Sometimes it's fun to not have everything planned, sometimes it is! I was going to try for a totally planned trip, but I just can't seem to do it. I can't even decide which park to visit when. I know I am doing CP on the 11th, and MVMCP on the 9th, and other than that, I have no idea! I have one meal booked at the Rose and Crown for the CP package, and then I'm going to have a list of CS restaurants that I would like to try, and snack places.

I know what you mean about the Pop... it's like there is an elastic pulling you back to Pop each time! I wanted to try another resort, but Pop just feels like home, it would be weird to be at WDW and not stay at Pop. I would love to stay everywhere but I don't know if that will ever happen when I just love Pop.

2 months minus 2 days until you see Mickey wearing a !

I'm so bummed you had to change your trip. But hey all things happen for a reason. Maybe its a good thing because now you can go for Christmas. Which reminds me I have to check out your new PTR!

Yea the MK seems to be my last park before the flight home on my last day. It's kind of an un-official tradition. So I'm sure thats where I'll end up on that day... but we will have to see!

I'm so excited to read this TR!!

A budget trip is better than no trip in my opinion so thats why I'm going. Plus I think my boss wasn't all there when I asked her to go on vaca in Nov. So I better go just incase next year she comes to her senses and says no.

oops, I thought I was 2 months and I am actually 3 months.

Awww bummer I was like "Ohhhhh we should meet up?!?!".

Yay for only having 2 months left! Our trips are coming up SO SOON!

Yay soooo soon! Hey do you have a PTR going yet?

I so feel the same way as you. Pop is like my home away from home. Maybe thats why I felt so out of place at CBR in May. I don't care though if I ever have enough money to stay at the Poly I'm so gonna stay there! Other than that (or any of the other deluxe resorts) I don't think I would pay extra to stay any other place.

A little over 2 months for me too! WOOT WOOT!

 

[DisneyFreak06]

Cheryl, I had to share with you my dream from last night. I was on the Dis before bed, so I guess I was still on the DIS train of thought... So in my dream, I won the lottery and took my family (about 30 people, parents, siblings, neices and nephews etc, nothing but immediate family) to WDW. I happened to be there at the same time as you and I saw you and introduced myself. I guess I was really hyper or something, but you were scared of me!

Thought you would get a chuckle out of my Disney Dream.

 

[tinkerbell87512]

Woot woot!!!!! Yay for a little over 2!!!! Do you have a PTR goin?!

Oh my gosh what a funny dream!!! How could I be scared of you....lol your my dis pal...too funny!!! You really must be having Disney on the brain to be dreaming of it AND having me in your dream! Well I feel honored! lol Hopefully we will someday be able to really meet up!!!

 

[Jennifer48]

Woot woot!!!!! Yay for a little over 2!!!! Do you have a PTR goin?!

I don't. Maybe a few weeks before I leave. I'm not a good writer and I'm afraid if people don't read my PTR, they won't read my TR.

I totally had Disney on the brain! I guess sometimes (especially when it comes to Disney) I get really excitable, and I must have really gone overboard on the excited side of me... you were frightened that I was too hyper or something. On my first trip, even after being delayed by at least 12 hours and having to overnight in Boston on the way, I was doing little hops in the line of DME. Not quite a skip, but take a few steps and then jump up and then a few steps and a jump. And I was solo! The people ahead of me in the line got a bick kick out of it!

I'm in too! Sounds great so far.

 

[tinkerbell87512]

Hey guys!!! I haven't forgotten about this TR it's just this "no-plan" thing has left me with nothing to write. I guess I will have to just find something!!!

I've been watching a lot of youtube Disney videos i'm missing my happy place and I decided to show you some of the ones I've been checking out. In case you have the missing Disney blues too! (*These are NOT my videos just ones that others have posted on youtube*)

Here is one from the last performance of 4 for a Dollar this week. If you never saw them they were great! They would be the warm up act for the Beauty and the Beast stage show. I'm so bummed I wont be able to catch them again.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pA3CtK4ytK8

This next one is of the stage show and lighting the lights on Cinderella castle. I'm so excited to see this show in November. The castle is just beautiful and from what I've read pictures don't do it justice.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DS0AE3vTwA

And this is the thing I was most excited about. The Osborne Family Lights! Well after doing some research on the Dis...word on the boards is that they wont be showing this till AFTER Thanksgiving! UGH! I miss it by a week! I'm really hoping that they show it early and somehow I can catch it. The whole thing looks fantastic!!! I can't tell you how upset I am that I will be missing this.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vx6hCms7yq4

Speaking of the Osborne lights another thing that I've read wont be starting is the Christmas tree lighting at Epcot. I really hope all the decorations are up at least at the resorts and at the parks. I mean they are doing MVMCP so they could at least do everything else. I hope the info on the Dis is wrong or I miss read it.

Ohhhh and I know WDWgirl03 already knows about this (since I was reading about it in her PTR) but did you guys hear about the promotion next year about what will you celebrate? You get in free on your birthday! And if you have an AP they will give you a Birthday fun card (gift card) to spend instead since you already have the pass. I can't think of a better way to spend a birthday then at WDW. Can you? It's not like I need another draw to go down there but that sounds awesome to me! Ohhh and I saw the new WDW commercial last night when I was watching Dancing with the stars and it's so cute!!! I think this new theme is really cute!
