Maybe I'll do a trip report? Don't read! I haven't decided! NEW for 1/31! Read it!

[HockeyKat]

Hi Celery! I clicked on the link from your siggie, I am from UM's Peep thread. I think we will be meeting next Sun...

I really enjoyed your pre-TR/mega-history-TR, it helped keep me sane through the looong afternoon!

 

[UtahMama]

Hi Celery,
I just found your report but I'm confuzzled and just a little too lazy to read ALL these pages.....what a nice following you have!! So,...have you been yet?....are you there now?....when do you leave?

I have read enough to see that you have a great group of DISers doing the meet-meet. Have fun...or hope you had fun or are having fun or whatever!!

Looking forward to your installments!

Actually, she's not there yet

She's so excited to start that she's just practice-reporting with past trips.

I told her not to start so soon....Now she's just posting about world news and her cat.

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Moo - I cancelled the garden grill one. I didn't think you and hubby would want to go alone. I'm sorry!

No problem! I was just clarify(TM bbn)ing!!!

I'm sure I can figure out an alternate.

Hi UM!!
and thank you

Welcome to my new readers!

Hockey - I read your posts all the time on the Peeps thread, I just don't post much. I'm always jealous when you say you're having a "cheat" day for beer and pizza.

I miss those beer and pizza days.

Hey sam! I've seen you around too - maybe on other trip reports?

tink-ing - Start one. I'll help keep it going. Til I get bored.
Which, with me, will be about a week.

Moo - where do you want to eat that day? I'll make you an ADR. I like doing it.
Cuz I'm weird.

Utah -

Today, in the adventures of Hopper the imaginary cat -
She waited for the evil humans to leave. Once they did, she hopped on top of Martini's cage and hissed at her.
Meanwhile, in the living room, Amber and Riley barked at her, to no avail.
The neighbor's dogs joined in the ruckus, hoping that someone, anyone, would save the poor guinea pig from the evil imaginary cat.
Each day Martini squeaked and told her humans what was wrong - but they just threw hay at her and told her to be a good piggie.
She was trying to be a good piggie!
But that evil cat was just too much.
Today was the day she was busting out.
Riley was going to chew through his crate and chase the imaginary cat so that Martini could escape.
So long, suckers!

yep....love me some trip reports.....can't wait for yours - the official version, you know, the after the trip, trip report....heh heh heh

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Thanks for the offer to make me a new ressie, Cel, but I figure I better call in to see if there is anything left so I can weigh my options since my hubby is a little picky.

I need to see if I can switch another ressie to a little earlier time anyhoo.

 

[dabluestreaker]

Hey....does anyone know where the nearest psych hospital is to WDW???? If cel keeps talking about imaginary pets, I'm gonna have to have her committed!

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Speaking of pets, are your puppies going to the spa while you're away?!

How much already written pre-trip report do you have left to post, Cel?

Get crackin'!

 

[tiggerwannabe]

Not too much longer now...

I need to call Bonnet Creek tomorrow...I have managed to take care of everything for the trip so far except transportation...Rose and I have a car to use for our long weekend in Orlando but she is not going with me to MNSSHP Friday night, she is going to Tampa.

I was wondering if Bonnet Creek will have a way for me to get to the parks that late in the day or even if they can get me to DTD I can catch a resort bus from there to a hotel close to MK. I can always catch a cab over and back. I doubt if it's close enough to DTD or the Beach Club for me to walk. The military resort, Shades of Green, is within walking distance to the Poly. Their buses run every hour, if we missed one we could just walk over and catch one of theirs.

You got any idea how often they run their buses cel, can I call you cel?

I look forward to more before you go~

TTFN,

colleen aka col.

 

[celerystalker]

moo - my sister is staying with the puppies and the piggie. it'll be like she's at the spa - cable and a bar she can walk to.
she should be in heaven.

and I don't have anymore written. I was going to take pics of all my crocs and torture y'all, but I probably won't.
unless me and Jeanie get REALLY bored on Tuesday.
I'm almost done packing at this point -
so we'll be having a disney movie marathon.
and dancing. heh.

tigger - the transportation for bonnet creek only runs every once in awhile - a few times in the morning and then maybe three times from each park in the evening -
but, they use maingate transportation and they are really nice. You can call maingate and arrange for a pickup and it doesn't cost anymore.
I asked because of the ecv -ECV whatever it's called for my mom -
they said to just call the night before and arrange transportation.

That helps a TON! Thank you!

I pray you a wonderful trip down to the world~

 

[lexmelinda]

Then we’ll make bookmarks for our Meepy imaginary friends (imaginary friends, don’t look!):

Awwww.....for me??? That's so sweet! Thank you, Celery! I had to look!

Just got caught up! That's so cool that they let you do all sorts of things at the GTKTW village. I mean, they don't just stick you at the train station and tell you to stay there all day. You get to experience a lot of different things at the village! Fun! It looks like a very cool place from the web site! That's so great that you are volunteering.

OK...go gas up the car because it's almost time to go! Are ya ready?

 

[tiggerwannabe]

When do you start your drive again? Gotta be soon right?

Well cel, Have a great ride and enjoy your trip...I will hopefully see you at the resort next Friday. I expect to be at the pool/bar by noon-ish...here is a pic so you might recoginize me. Rose is on the left, I am on the right, (our DDs are next to us.)

I have one last question for you...

What kind of restaurant offerings does Bonnet Creek have please?

 

[celerystalker]

And we're off!

tigger - they have a pizzeria open sometimes, I think.

see ya real soon!

Thanks cel ... we have a kitchen, I guess I could just eat there huh?

I gotta make me a grocery list!

My Itinerary is set, short but oh so sweet

Thursday fly from Philly to Orlando (p/u rental car), lunch at Whispering Canyon for my first DISer meet. (My best friend) Rose and me are joining Dalpal, hubby and two grandsons for lunch. We have a list of all the things we need to get the grandson's to say to get the "full effect" of eating at WCC

Check in at Bonnet Creek, go Grocery Shopping, Dinner, an evening of shopping at Downtown Disney

Friday, up and out by lunch-poolside, or more likely in the lazy river, stalking Celerystalker MK by 4 for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party DISer Meet #2 with Cruisin and DD and Dalpal, hubby and DGSs (again.) I'm gonna be a pirate! Find a Photopass Person for group shot early~

By Fireworks time, I expect to be Poly Beachside~DISer Meet #3!

Nebo and Smidgy and Utahmama and Backstage Girl and Lexmelinda and DisneyDad (someone chime in here if I've missed you or mistaken your attendance) will all be there! I feel the need to have a Lapu Lapu in the honor of all those who can't

Cheers!

Saturday is Food and Wine Fest Day! and DISer Meet #4!

Cruisin and DD, Dalpal and Family and Rose and me will be joined by Hollyann and crew at Epcot after lunch. After a quick trip thru Future World we will all be eating (and some of us drinking) our way around the world, counter clockwise. (Rose and I did this clockwise last time and ran out of room in France.)

Around 630 we are all going over to the Beach Club for...


wait for it...



DISer Meet #5!


PrincessaC and her wonderful family arrive on saturday and we are all headed over to the Beach Club to meet them! (All of these people, except for those at the Poly meet, are Threadkillers by the way. We all have been chatting up that thread, some of us for years, and were all convinced by PrincessaC and Dalpal that we should have a Threadkiller meet while they are there.) It is Cruisin, Hollyann and My birthday month as well, we are all going to celebrate~

I expect we'll go back to Epcot to finish whatever we miss and to catch Illuminations before we go home.

Sunday, we check out. We fly home very late tho so we are going for DISer meet #6!

Rose and I are meeting PrincessaC and family who are being joined by her sister in law and new baby girl. Since we all have been speaking together, I feel like I know them. I am sooo looking forward to seeing SILs beautiful new baby girl We are meeting at ESPN at the boardwalk for lunch and some football. I expect to have for a little more shopping, the shops at the boardwalk are really really cool. We fly home after 8pm. I expect to be leaving for the airport by 6, that should give us time to unwind, by then I'll be ready to go home.

****Since celery is traveling I thought I'd chime in...anyone else still around want to share their itinerary for your upcoming trip? I am headed over to the main page on the forum, to post a thread of my own****

Hey Lex---so sorry I didn't get to meet you. Celery forgot to give you your book mark...and she also forgot to give Wendy hers. Maybe we'll just have to mail them.

Later!
