May 2010 WDW DIS Meet...May 2009 was great let's do it again!

[goofeyken]

Just found out I'll be at Disneyworld from Jan 31st to Feb 8th for a family vacation!! They planned it last minute and I've decided to tag along

Now I have no excuse not to buy an Annual Pass for the May trip

 

[MOREMICKEYFORME]

Hello everyone, checking in...

Judy, I will be there with my daughter for the May trip. She will be celebrating her 18th bday there with this wild and crazy group! Well- there are SOME normal people too...

I think someone else is bringing their 17 year old son, there may be another older teen too. I think this may work out great because while some of us may want to go to out for a drink or something, the teens can hang out in a park together or something...

We are staying at Boardwalk also...seems like the place to be- very central to everything.

You're bringing me along too, dear

My 15 year-old DD will be around some evenings, esp. over the weekend, too.

 

[MOREMICKEYFORME]

Since there seem to be a few teens going, maybe I could arrange a few things for them...
My daughter would love to hang out with other kids her age in the park. Gets her away from Mom...
Let me know what you think.

 

[nurse.darcy]

Gee, now I wish my son was off of school during that time. . .I would add him to the teen list. . .oh well. . .Roseanne, please plan the teen events and keep them interested. . .I will take care of any group dinners. Although I think we have decided that Friday night at Boma is the choice for the evening. . .If anyone objects to Boma for the group dinner on Friday night let me know so we can discuss further.

Hi Nancy, haven't made any forma ressies,plan to do that soon... but add me to adult plans, I am in!

That sounds like an awesome idea. They can iPod and tweet and text or whatever to their hearts' content without the rolling eyes look from us out-of-touch parents. lol.

We'll be down Fri/Sat night and can stay late on Sunday but have to drive back up to home (work/school the next morning)


Oh, and by "down" I mean likely staying on-site those nights...not just driving down.

 

[Dizmom0923]

Maybe my Allie would want to come along, she is 17. Don't know if she can leave the boyfriend for that long though....

Boma sounds awesome, I've always wanted to eat there.

 

[AnnaBrun]

good for you guys ))

 

[MOREMICKEYFORME]

OK, since others are doing the planning for the adults, I will try to plan some stuff for the teens.
I was thinking about Seways, Mini-golf, Just hanging out at the parks...whatever they want to do. I would like to get a list of the teens going, so they can connect with each other via Facebook or whatever (like we do on the Dis). This way it might not be so strange to go hang out with each other.
You can send me a PM and I will only share info you give me.
For example, I will share my daughters name and facebook addy for people's children who have been on past Dis meets, or are trusted by another Diser I know.
Let me know if you have other suggestions.
Thanks
RoseAnne

This will be my first "crash " into this group and I haven't decided anything ecxcept I want to go. So could someone either post or add to this thread some basics like where most are staying, whether r not you are bringing teens, how to get included into ressies, etc? I am a multiple repeat visitor and so happy to find others to talk and travel with since I am a single mom!
All PMs or details are appreciated. In Disney time, May isn't too far away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ahoff]

If you look on the first page of this thread there is a few items of information on who is going and where they are staying, and who to contact for any dinners. I believe a good number are DVC'ers, and BW seems to be the favorite this trip. It was noted on another thread that it is only a bit over three months away. I hope it will be a bit warmer than it was a few weeks ago. Sleet at Disney? Inconceivable!

 

[mickeyworld]

Thanks! I looked and will start my planning! I will be there in March before I take a 4 day Wonder cruise... back in May???? Heaven!

All, I am back from a quick weekend in WDW. Had a great time, managed to get a lot done in the 2 1/2 days of park time I had.

A few highlights:

- I was in Epcot by myself for a few hours Friday night and took the opportunity to wander around World Showcase. I wandered by the Germany wine tasting bar and decided to try some ice wine. The cast members talked me into a flight for only $2 more . Had a great conversation with them...who knew that Pop Tarts and Reese's were in high demand?! And I will be sure if I make a trip to Germany with my DD I do it before she turns 16, 16 being the legal drinking age there.

- mini-golf at Winter Summerland. Wow this was WAY more fun than I thought it would be. I think it was a combo of the company and the warped sense of humor of Imagineers. I seriously believe they were doing shots the night they designed this course, we could not stop laughing. There were also some outstanding comments made by members of my party that I can't repeat here this being a family board . However, Dave your comment will live in infamy with me and Andrea.

-Andrea winning two Test Track fastpasses in a game of Rock Paper Scissors...thanks for getting those so we could ride with you and do the sleeping on Test Track pic as a group.

-The drive over from Beach Club to DTD...honestly most of the conversation is a blank, but I know Andrea and I were cracking each other up.

- Showing the Shake Weight video to people who hadn't heard of it at Paradiso 37...I almost peed my pants!

- Mexico Pavilion Tequila Bar...yum yum I highly recommend the avocado margarita.

-Searching everywhere for a Jessie doll for my DD, only to find it after I got home readily available on a website a cast member gave me. As Dave said, we were on a quest to find this doll! I actually gave up by Sunday afternoon, but he was determined to continue looking LOL.

-Checking out stuff I have not seen yet...Hall of Presidents, Tomb Raiders, exploring Coronado Springs resort, Riverboat, Space Mountain (sorry WDW fans...but I have to say it, the Disneyland version, in my opinion only, is far superior to this ride in so many ways...I was honestly surprised).

It was a good weekend. I missed a few things on my to do list...never made it over to the Poly, ended up missing all performers in Epcot, and Dave refused to drive me to the Coach outlet but hey looking forward to May and maybe I can cross some of them off! (Who's driving me to Coach? )

Sounds like you guys had a blast!!! I will definitely have to check out the mini golf when I take the boys in December. I think they will enjoy it!
