Yep I am coming with the kids. We are doing the ToT party. What is the Halloween tour?



When is your birthday???



Beth~ I agree, Salem would be fun!!!

I know you weren't asking me, but my birthday is Oct. 24.
I love October. Fall is my favorite time of year, Halloween is my favorite holiday and my birthday is in there. Plus it's the kick off to the holiday season.

What night are you doing the ToT party? My family and I want to do it on Friday, the 23rd if it's offered then.

Woo hoo We were going to bring my sister and her two sons in October, but she called me the other day and said she probably will not be able to come ($$$). I was a little confused because the ONLY thing she had to pay for was their passports, which I just will not pay for. I know, I'm mean, but please..... Jesse and I will still go then. I'm a little bummed though because we really wanted to go with them (they've never been) and Jesse would love to do stuff with some kids his own age (apparently I'm not quite as cool as I thought I was ).

How old is Jesse again? 13? Adam is 14. If you go to the ToT party on Friday, maybe we can hang out.

So are you saying you were paying for your sister's trip, with the exception of the passports and now she won't go?? Wow. That was awfully nice of you. I can't believe she won't go. Can I be your sister???

What type of seats are we looking for to see Love? Monday, June 22, 7pm, right? There are very close seats available, but $165 each. There are 10 seats in Level Lower, Section 102, Row B, Seat 3-12, here's a picture of the seating chart:

What day are you doing the party? Thurs or Friday?? The Halloween tour is fun. It's kind of Disneyland more from the villain's and bad guy's perspective with some fun "twists" and stuff. We did it last year and we really had a great time (it was REALLY crowded in DL though!!). You go on a few rides too - TOT, Big Thunder, Snow White, and Haunted Mansion. My son wants to do this again - it was his favorite part.

I am not sure what night we are doing the party.
Would Thursday be less packed than Friday?

Halloween tour sounds fun.

I remember your birthday.
I love October!! Summer & Fall are both my favorite times of the year.

I will gladly be your sister. I don't even need a passport.....

Jordan will be 13 in July.
Teenagers I agree....

I can't believe she won't go either. Like Beth, I will be your sister.

Awesome seats!! I'll leave it up to everyone else () to decide on where to seat, but I'm good wherever (just no nosebleeds, 'K??).

Jesse is 13 - just started high school. I'm sure he would love to hang out with another boy! He does not look 13 though - he's over 6 feet tall already! He told me the other day he was walking home from school with his friend (they're both in grade 8 - first year of high school) and this car with two girls stopped and they were hitting on them Yikes - if they have a car, they are WAY older than 13. I call him stud now

Yes, I was paying for the trip (I said that could be their early Christmas present) - flight and everything. She would just have to pay for three passports......

I am not sure what night we are doing the party. Would Thursday be less packed than Friday?

I think all the dates for the ToT party are basically the same. DL is what gets really crowded because DCA closes down for the party. I won't be able to get our tickets until they go on sale for the general public because my AP expires at the beginning of May We're thinking of going the last week of August (I heard that's a fairly good time to go - school is back in for most kids then, right? Not in Canada though.....) Since I seem to be saving a bit of cash from October, we have the funds to go twice

 

[toocherie]

I'm good on where y'all want to sit for Love--or any of the other shows. (Except not close enough to get stripper sweat on me!)

 

[CaliforniaDreamer]

Beth, also always wanted to see Salem - awesome idea, a women's trip there someday.

Stacie - good work. My vote is Yes on those seats. They are great.

I had a friend who passed away from sudden cancer. She made me promise always to get great seats. (dear Paula)

Stacie, the theater isn't that big, and when it comes to Love there is lots of activity up in the air as well as all around the stage. If you sit too close, you are actually worse off as you will miss a lot of the action on stage, and be craning your necks to see what's going on up top. (although keep in mind, Love does NOT have nearly as much acrobatic action as KA or Mystere, so if some of you are hoping for that you might be disappointed, it's more about the music and dance)

I can't recall exactly where we sat when Ruben and I saw it, but it was either section 203,204,205 or 206 (the smaller sections) in row L or M. The seats were great as we were far enough back to see the action up high and on the opposite side of the stage.

It's up to y'all who are going since I won't be there, but just wanted to give you the heads up that it's NOT like a concert where front row is better. In this case, being a little bit back, is a good thing.

Jesse is 13 - just started high school. I'm sure he would love to hang out with another boy!

Adam is the opposite. He's very short for his age. Noelle is taller then him which irritates him to no end.

I'm so sorry.

 

[Queenbillabong]

Yes, Jesse is used to being the tallest one in his class. It's funny because his best friend (also Jesse ) is very short - is like armpit height! Very funny!

Good to know. Looking around those sections, this is the first that came up:
Level Upper, Section 203, Row R, Seat 1-10, $137.50.

Is it as good as the other Cirque shows then - or just different??

 

[wendylady36]

Chicken Nuggets!

 

[mommaU4]

Hmmm. Try to stick with sections 203, 204, 205, and 206 but down lower. See if you can find something in rows K,L,M, N or O.

Row R is getting a little bit up there. Although some of Ruben's coworkers have seen it and sat even farther back than that and said it was fine. But try for the first 5 rows in those sections.

Is it as good as the other Cirque shows then - or just different??

Oh, it's good. I loved it and I was not a Beatles fan going into it.
It's just doesn't focus as much on the acrobatics as some of the other Cirque shows do. But out of all the ones I've seen it was in my top two, second only to KA. I'd still highly recommend it.

Chicken Nuggets!

Popcorn balls!


Sorry. I thought we were just tossing out random food items.

There you go with your balls again.

I'll go with Beth's recs. She sounds like she's on top of this with the seating.

Oh, too bad we're not going in April:

Sales in Vegas are down so one source said they've never seen these shows discounted before. 25%. You guys sure you don't want to move this trip to this month?

 

[Queenbillabong]

Chicken Nuggets!

I just ate, thanks

Those are the two I was interested in - Ka and Love (well, Mystere as well )

I think at the hotel where the shows are (like MGM for Ka) they have some dates with 25% of tickets, but they only show the current month, so who knows if that will be around in June!! Plus, 10 seats together - better to get the tickets early or we will all be sitting in different sections!

 

[mommaU4]

I put together a slide show of some of the things we are doing. Some of the pics are from the internet and some are ones I've taken. http://www.rockyou.com/show_my_gallery.php?source=ppsl&instanceid=135836295


Also Stacerita, have you ever been here?? I've always wanted to go as it looks so neat. http://www.usmenuguide.com/peppermillfireside.html
It's a 24 hour restaurant and lounge.

Peppermill Fireside Lounge is real Las Vegas wrapped into one simple lounge where you check your ego at the door and relax old school.

Here are some pics: http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=Peppermill+Fireside+Lounge Las+Vegas&w=all
They are supposed to have a drink called the Scorpion that is described as girlie and huge!

I don't know where to fit it in though unless we go here for drinks instead of Diablos on Tuesday or we hit it our first night on Sunday for dinner and drinks instead of Margaritaville. Or just skip it and keep things as they are.

Thoughts ladies?

 

[mommaU4]

There you go with your balls again.

And your point is?

I'll go with Beth's recs. She sounds like she's on top of this with the seating.

It's just not that big of a theater and to be so close to where you are almost eye level with the stage is actually putting you at a disadvantage.
Plus the seats further back are cheaper.

I wish I knew what discounts are coming up. Ruben took his mom to see Le Reve in March using a buy one, get one free discount!

Those are the two I was interested in - Ka and Love (well, Mystere as well )



I think at the hotel where the shows are (like MGM for Ka) they have some dates with 25% of tickets, but they only show the current month, so who knows if that will be around in June!! Plus, 10 seats together - better to get the tickets early or we will all be sitting in different sections!

Well, KA and Love are totally different. Both are good in their own way. KA is intense and dark with lots of action. Love is light and fun.

It's up to y'all if you want to wait. I'm not saying to get them now. Discounts might come out and then I don't want anyone to be kicking themselves because they didn't wait. It's a gamble.
You might end up not sitting together but you would probably be close. Maybe two here, three there, that sort of thing.
