***OLD***DisDivas and Family October Mini Meet

[LittleBlackRaincloud]

Cheryl, I dug up your post about the dessert seating that has the pictures of the dessert box! I thought I would post it here in case anyone has not seen it before. I'm hoping we can talk more into doing this with us.

Good! I was hoping you would respond to her--I think you can help with her question more than I!

Do you know what the question is?
I cleaned out my PM box Heather, so if you tried before, try again now.

 

[cheshiregirl]

Heather, can you please add me to Storyteller's and WCT, and me plus 2 for the BBQ and Goofy's!

 

[Mouse13]

Ok, I'll come then. Count me in for Miss Sally's party!

I'm so glad you decided to join us for the party!

 

[Mouse13]

She's so fuN.. i LoVe my Mom!

Yeahhhhhhh.. i'm happy ya'll are joining in! It will be nice to get to meet over a nice lunch where we can sit and visit and laugh and and and have yummy cake and hopefully some Magicale or Rosa Regale!

Although I don't know the famous Miss Sally yet (and some of the others don't either), I would like to bring a gift for her very special surprise party. Do you think she would like it if we each brought something small and special from where we live? For instance, they make a super yummy BBQ sauce where I live or maybe I could bring her a bottle of wine from a local winery. What do the Dis Divas think would make Miss Sally happy on her birthday? If she's flying, I think the gifts would have to be small so that she'd be able to get them home without buying a whole new suitcase.

Heather, can you do me a favor and take my name off the lists for October? I don't think we are going to make it after all. Thanks!! It's a great time to be in the parks, y'all are going to have a wonderful time.

What a great idea! I won't be able to attend the party, but I think it's a great idea to bring a small gift from home. How thoughtful of you.

 

[fairykin]

Oh no no!
No gifts.
But thank you for the sweet thought.
Trips are always so high for everyone, especially in this economy..that's why i wanted to go to Storytellers..it's reasonably priced.

Thank you for the very sweet thought.. it was lovely of you.

Yeah Jane is going to be there!

 

[fairykin]

Beth?!!

Are you alright?

I was just figuring out how much the bar b que cost for your birthday so we can go!

 

[mommaU4]

Beth?!!

Are you alright?

Oops. No cause for alarm. Sorry. Everything is fine. It's just our mini van is older than dirt and on it's last legs.
It simply cannot make the trek across the desert and mountains from Vegas to CA.

We knew that and were planning to rent one but when I checked prices they were really high. So unless they come down or we get some sort of deal, I won't make it. If we can find a good price, we'll be there for sure. I just didn't want to keep my name on the lists just in case, kwim?

Maybe we'll win the lotto and get a new van between now and then.

Beth: have you tried Priceline? When I went to WDW the cost to rent a car was sky high--but then I "bid" on priceline a low-ball price --they said "no"--I raised it by $1 a day and they said "yes"! I got a full-size car from National for a $150 less than what I was being quoted on their site.

Sorry to hear that. But how are we gonna have a birthday BBQ and you not be there?

Oh Beth, I am so sad. I really wanted to see you and be a part of your birthday bash. Maybe you can come on the train or bus by yourself for just a day or two? I could try and pick you up and take you to Hojo's. At least we have five months to figure something out.

I've used Priceline for hotels but never car rentals. Can you choose the type of vehicle you need?
Since there are six of us, we must have a mini van or large SUV (the 7 passenger ones). That's what usually gets us.

Sorry to hear that. But how are we gonna have a birthday BBQ and you not be there?

Uhhhhh, mail me my piece of BBQ? Actually you can keep the BBQ. I'm really after those cupcakes.
Is it wrong I've devoted entirely too much time lately to thinking about those DL cupcakes? I've got this craving that will not go away.

Oh don't be sad. I'll keep an eye out for deals on rentals. Maybe we'll get lucky. I just can't promise anything, kwim? But thank you for the offer to pick me up. You are always so sweet to me.

Yes--as part of the bidding process you specify what size/type of vehicle you want. I wanted a full-size and that's what I got. I originally bid -- I think $15 a day--it came back and said no, but if I bid $17 a day I might get it. I bid $16 and National ok'd it.

 

[CaliforniaDreamer]

Oh Beth, let's work it out. This really was about you! What about just you on a plane? Southwest has $49 fares on the right days.

If I can suggest, keep your name on the lists for now and use the time to see what happens.
