Like...They are Going with STRANGERS?!?! Sayonara Part 1- Join Us on the new thread!

I figured that one would make the list. Great first choice

So... would you go there?? Would it make your short list of places to stay?? Tell all!

So... would you go there?? Would it make your short list of places to stay?? Tell all!

It is on our list of future places to stay. The top of our list right now is ASMu, only because of the big woody and buzz light year. Top of my personal list is POFQ. But yeah I guess Pop would fall in third right now for us-meeting the needs of our little family. Although if money were no object I think we would stay at AKL-Savannah view room.

The theme of the resort looks really fun. Someone just did a scavenger hunt there which really showed the whole resort and would also be fun to do in the future. Maybe if you all have time you should do a scavenger hunt. Make your way over to Mickey_Mom's TR to see the scavenger hunt http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2269657&page=2 it's on pg 2

I don't know much other than that, and I heard they have their own buses to MK instead of sharing like the All Star resorts- correct me if I'm wrong here, just heard it somewhere awhile back. I think it's the top pick Value resort for many people

On my way now! Thanks a ton for that!

 

[All7OfUs]

OK, I now officially have one more thing I can cook up for us ladies to do on our trip! Gosh, this IS going to be very, very fun. But I think, I may make ours WDW-wide, not just resort specific.

Hey, guess what??! I just talked to maroo. She was just getting off Test Track!! She says there are NO lines anywhere; she's done Soarin' twice, M:S, Test Track, met up with TinyTreasures, and was having a blast.

I. Am. So. Jealous!

Congrats on your one year milestone! Yay!!

Good choice with POP so far... lots of advantages to that one!

[that's nice]

I am 99% sure that you ladies are N O T staying at POP. While it does look fun and we are staying there in less than 28 days, I have my reasons why you will not be staying there. I don't know if I am supposed to write them here or if my reasons would sway the other contestants. PLUS I want to win the grand prize!!!!!

 

[TarzansKat]

I love that the prize has to be redeemed in person.

Alright, after having read the posts and all the commentary, I have totally lost my train of thought and forgotten what I wanted to say. But suffice it to say, I am here and I am thoroughly enjoying myself.

 

[TarzansKat]

AH YES!!!!!!!! The one year dance.

In that case, this calls for a little celebration.

And when I celebrate, I can pretty much think of one thing that makes me so unbelievably happy, so absolutely giddy, so desirous of something just completely...


rum-soaked...


heh heh...

Enjoy, ladies.

And...for the gents...I apologize. Please disregard the copious amounts of drool caused by the previous photo. Perhaps even block the screen from your wives.

Or maybe not, the results could be...

desirable.

 

[StefaniLyn]

Simply stated (you never thought that would happen, did you?!), we have one year to go until the TC3 are liberated to a week of freedom!! Are we excited?!!? Yes, we are. Give us a celebratory post to make our special day!!

Happy Dance to celebrate just 365 more days til Disney!!!!!!!!!

what is that you ask? that is how many minutes until disney
and that is not much at all
just 525600 minutes until disney
that is definitely a cause for celebration
Pop century would certainly be my 1st choice in a value, but i have a feeling maroo will have something up her sleeve as far as an upgrade. i think the wilderness lodge would be ideal

 

[tinkgurl]

Woo! The one year dance!

 

[If U Had Wings]

One year!!! That's so exciting. It will be here before you know it.

That reminds me of the song from RENT. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8iTeDl_Wug Now I can't get it out of my head. Such a beautiful song!

FYI, I'm not sure POP rises to the level of sophistication of TC3. JMHO What's #2??

brookelizabeth is down there and twittering the same thing about the lines...or lack of them!

 

[jenb1023]

Pop Century is a good option! We surprisingly liked it on our last trip after two deluxes (WL & AKL). If trying to save a little money but still enjoying theming and lots of fun, then Pop is the way to go. I don't think you will be staying there if miss upgrade queen has anything to say about it. DD and I will be back at Pop for our trip in several weeks.

Mary said she rode Soarin three times so I hope the lack of crowds will still be in effect when we get there! Jordan (DD) and I aren't used to short trips so we have a lot to fit in!

LOVE LOVE LOVE that song and the musical Rent itself. But the song

agree, knew POP would make the list, but figure it isn't where you all are staying, it just doesn't fit

I certainly did tell her howdy from all of you here. Knowing maroo, she's probably thinking of you all, wondering if you'd like this or that, and how much fun it'd be if you were there with her, etc... I do know she's having a great time! She met up with tinytreasures and her DH and was having a lot of fun! Later they were going to meet up with starnightstarsky at Sunshine Seasons for lunch!!

I do think POP is a great choice; let's not forget about tie-dyed cheesecake!!

I am 99% sure that you ladies are N O T staying at POP. While it does look fun and we are staying there in less than 28 days, I have my reasons why you will not be staying there.

The great part about this contest is that everyone can win. So, I think it would be fine for you to list out your reasons; I think they would actually be quite amusing to read.

I think POP has everything going for it; but we'll have to wait to see if it lives up to TC3 inhabitation.

I love that the prize has to be redeemed in person.

I thought the small print would amuse you.

Now, onto brain fart moments... Remember that discussion we had earlier about children and their pilfering of gray matter? It's true, I tell you!! That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!

AH YES!!!!!!!! The one year dance.

Well, now, that's certainly a party I would like to be invited to. He can obviously handle more than one woman at a time; so there's plenty to go around. ("Not that TK condones that sort of thing" )

Happy Dance to celebrate just 365 more days til Disney!!!!!!!!!

Why thank you very much!! It's hard to believe that we started planning this last Dec. and here we are to our one year mark!!!

and just think... I'll be sleeping for about half of that, working for another 7 or 8 hours of that each day (depending on how quicky my little homeschooled students get their work done ) and DIS-sing another good portion. So really, there's very few of those seconds left to sit and stew about how mnay there really are!

She always has those upgrade wheels a spinnin'. But, you have to remember, those of us in my line of work are usually on a VERY tight budget. And just think. If we stay at a value, we can definitely splurge on all kinds of other things. I'm just sayin'...

Woo! The one year dance!

I know, I never thought even that would get here last December!

One year!!! That's so exciting. It will be here before you know it.

It is very exciting! We have a really busy fall this year with a new teammate (who just arrived yesterday!! ) and a short term team coming, and travel for DH! So I know it really will go by quickly!

That reminds me of the song from RENT. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8iTeDl_Wug Now I can't get it out of my head. Such a beautiful song!

FYI, I'm not sure POP rises to the level of sophistication of TC3. JMHO What's #2??

I'll to go take a look at that!

Hmmm... see, now I KNOW you'd be a great addition to the TC3 Battalion. You can spot class when you see it! (As if) But, may I remind you that the POP CAN be a sophisiticated place to hunker down, IF you know how to find other ways to set your sophistication. May I suggest Basin? A little diversion at the GF spa? Cirqure? See if we stay at the POP we could hit all of those...

brookelizabeth is down there and twittering the same thing about the lines...or lack of them!

I've been following as well, and I know she's having such a great time!! I really, really, really hope those non-existent lines hold true for next year too!!! Wouldn't that be so awesome?

Pop Century is a good option! We surprisingly liked it on our last trip after two deluxes (WL & AKL). If trying to save a little money but still enjoying theming and lots of fun, then Pop is the way to go. I don't think you will be staying there if miss upgrade queen has anything to say about it. DD and I will be back at Pop for our trip in several weeks.

I think the theming looks so fun and exciting! Who doesn't love gigantic anytying that's Disney? The pools look so colorful and "groovy". Did I mention tie-dye cheesecake?? How about non-shared busses?? All very good reasons to stay cheap.

LOVE LOVE LOVE that song and the musical Rent itself. But the song

agree, knew POP would make the list, but figure it isn't where you all are staying, it just doesn't fit

Now why would you say that?? You know what else would be interesting? To see if you can guess the other that will even make the list. HA! You guys are all doing very well!

NOW,

On our 1 Year Mark, I forgot to mention that we needing to do a little more self-promotion (as some have very accurately described our little process of marking the road toward freedom ).

Last month, we spent our time being Sergeants. This month, and I might add that by some of your very appropriate comments yesterday, this fits perfectly, we will be Sergeants First Class!!!! See?? It's perfect!! We are not just classy, we are first classy! But did you know that that rank is still only enlisted?? It is not even a commission officer's ranking! Next month, I'm going to insist that we are commissioned, because we want better bennies and pay!!!

 

[TarzansKat]

Yes, it is true. RARELY do I share the good captain. However, I felt this was a worthy celebration.

And a promotion to sargeants first class! Well there are no finer, more deserving ladies than these! Congrats!

 

[that's nice]

The great part about this contest is that everyone can win. So, I think it would be fine for you to list out your reasons; I think they would actually be quite amusing to read.

I wasn't sure how the game was being played... So here I go.

1. From what I can recall... there is NO hot tub at POP. With all the talk of hot tubs, resting sore bodies, and quite possibly, clearing out and entire hot tub for cleaning, I see POP as hardly a possibility. Meaning there is close to a 0% chance of the TC3 (or TC4 or TC5) will stay here.

2. In your poll the people have spoken what to do with your found money. Close to 32% of people say upgrade your resort. And as any good DISer who has over a year (close to 2 years) to plan, seeing that poll day in and day out, has swayed your mind... even if it isn't the #1 vote getter.

3. The TC3 wants to be pampered.... I don't see much pampering or relaxing going on at POP. POP is way to busy for pampering and relaxing.

4. Maroo, the QUEEN of upgrades, would never let staying at POP happen. Yes you might initially book POP, there is NO, I repeat, NO way you are staying there.

So here are my reasons that I know you aren't staying at POP.

I have an IDEA for your game. You should have everyone who is playing PM you with their guess. Then at the end you can reveal who is right!!!! (Just a thought)
