[Tanya90210]

Great plans... only thing i don't like is the going home part if only we could all live there

 

[Beana9802]

Are you going to wear a costume to MNSSHP?

I don't think so But I think we'll wear a shirt I may design at zazzle

Sounds lovely!!!

Thanks! I'll have to work out the dining..

Great plans... only thing i don't like is the going home part if only we could all live there

One day, my friend...one day! (we can all dream, right?)

[KatGarcia]

Rock on, where? I am from Riverhead originally. Welcome!

Ronkonkoma Originally. Then I lived in Massapequa for a while.

By any chance do you listen to the Netcot Podcast?

 

[mrsksomeday]

I followed you over from Scott's PTR. Sounds like a great plan, can't wait to read more .

 

[Tat2ddisneymom]

Hi Kathleen!

I say go for POFQ. Its a lot nicer than the value resorts. One big plus is that you have a refrigerator in your room. I can't tell you how much we missed that when we stayed value last year. And another plus...you'll be close to me. I'll be right across the road at POR.

 

[retiredkid]

Beana, I also followed Scott's 'pimp' over here. Sounds like a great time. I would love to do the tea at GF one day. I'm jealous. Both POP and POFQ were fun for us. You can't go wrong with either choice......it's Disney! Right?

 

[Leger13]

Hi everyone! My name is Beaner, and my Mommy and I are going to visit the Mouse.

The Dates:
Wednesday, September 17th-Sunday, September 21st (Originally supposed to be during Columbus Weekend, but that didn't seem to work out, so I am taking some days off and going in Sept.)

The Resort:
Weeeelllll...I haven't really made an official decision as to where we are staying. There are a lot of variables, but I would ultimately like to stay at POFQ, but we'll most likely stay at POP. I have nothing against Pop, but Ellie's never stayed at a Mod...only All Stars.

The Flights:
Luckily Southwest recently put out this awesome "ding" fare. The "ding" is as follows...15% off...that's right 15% off! Well, as my family was supposed to take a trip in January that had to be canceled, we had a few vouchers that we ahem, needed to use. It ended up because of this discount that our flights were free to us, anyway. We'll be flying down after school on the 17th and then back in the morning on the 21st (maybe I can convince Ellie to come back that evening, but we'll see!)

The Cast:
Me: Beana, Kathleen, Kat, Kath. A 28 year old Dis lover from age 3. When I was 3, I took my first trip to the Dis along with my mommy (DM) Ellie (you'll meet her soon), my Aunt Cathy(DAC), and my grandmother, Nanny. Nanny has a house in Florida, and every year as a child my DAC and I would fly down to visit the Nanster. As I got older, getting off school was harder and our yearly trips got cut short. My 2 most recent trips were a solo/other side of the family trip in Aug '07 for my other grandmother's surprise 80th birthday. Before that...well, that was February of 2004 (ghasp, yes, 3 and a half years between trips). I am a teacher and taking trips to the DIS is hard and EXPENSIVE for us, as when we can travel, every other kid and their family can travel. But, I love what I do, and know that the school year will have just started, but.....


DM: Ellie, Ellen, Noonie, Ma. A 52 year old Dis lover, yet not often tripper. The last time she was in the Dis was in 2000. Ol' Ma and I went January 3, 2000, ya know, right after Y2K. We figured we'd give them 2 days to figure everything out before we arrived...hehe. I have been trying to get her on a plane since then, but ever since 9/11 she's been leary. (We live on Long Island...9/11 was very close to home, as many of you NYers know.) She is a retired Telephone Company employee ...and loving every minute of retirement.

More to come...itineraries, dining, and such, but here's the appetizer....My plan is to make a link to each update on this first post...but we'll see how it goes. Thanks for reading!

The loose itinerary...

great start to your pre trippie!! That's awesome that you and your Mom are going together. 8 years in between trips for her? My Mom hasn't been since 2001 (right after 9/11).

I'm really glad you chose th dates that you did because now we can meet at the Hippi Dippi party Can't wait!!

 

[Leger13]

Well, here is a mini update.

I figured I'd give you the abbreviated trip itinerary.

Wednesday, Sept 17-Arrive to either POP or POFQ around 9:30 (flight lands around 8:05, but who knows if that’ll be the truth). Relax, unpack when ME delivers our luggage, and maybe grab some grub

Thursday, Sept 18-EPCOT day….then apparently there is a party at the POP hippy dippy pool…I don’t know much about it, but I have been invited, and would love to be there (as long as Ellie doesn’t get upset we’ll miss Illuminations)

Friday, Sept 19-DHS day…until around 4:45, then we have dinner at Kona, then MNSSHP

Saturday, Sept 20-MK day until around 2:45, then we have an afternoon tea at the Grand Floridian. After that we will probably relax for a bit and maybe hit LaNuba, and dinner at Raglan Road, but I have not made ARS for that yet….any ideas?!

Sunday, Sept 21-Leave for home...

tentative plans sound great!! I'm missing Illuminations for hippi dippi party too. If you pick Illuminations over the party we'll understand, but I hope you do come!! Even if it is a little late

You are going to MNSSHP the same night as me!! Are you and your Mom gonna dress up?

 

[Blueyed Girl]

Your plans look nice! We are going for a little more laid back this trip....if we can stick to it.

We're going to POR in less than 2 weeks. So, you can read my TR about it if your still having questions on where to stay. Of course, Scott just did a nice TR with POR in it too. GREAT pic's. His pics made me change from POFQ to POR.

aaww thank you.

I do love POR.

 

[KimmyDisneyNerd]

Hey Beana. I would love to hopefully meet. I think we are also going to do the MNSSHP on the 19th. I do also want to meet up with everyone at the pool party. Have you booked a room yet? I ask because pop is sold out with dinning for my dates. I tried to modify my reservation and they told me I could not come in a day earlier due to no rooms w/ the dinning promotion. It is available without the package.
