Hi there.kidsister said:Hi ladies,
couldn't help but see that the dates you all are planning for a ladies'meet, coincide with a group of ladies who post on another Disney board that gets censored out when written here for some strange reason. Let's see if I can speak in code: first there is the 3 w's signifying a web site, then a dot, then the singular of mice (5 letters) followed by 'owners' (no spaces) and then another dot and then com. The new site was formed by a bunch of people who used to post on the Dis, on the DVC forums, but then there was a big bruhaha when they took off the Community Board there and so a whole new forum started...it is very friendly and fun there and I'm not sure why anyone at the Dis would be bothered by the 'competition' but I guess that's what happens sometimes.

Anyway, a bunch of ladies over there, who were planning solo or family trips in May and October, decided to do some activities together. Eventually, The Boardwalk Babes, (as we own at BWV and we are of course, in our own minds at least, babes! :rotfl2) was born!).
Because we use points at DVC and because of less points weekdays than weekends, our October trip is Sept 30-Oct 6, which coincides, in part with your Grand Gathering!
I'd love to meet up with you ladies in October, and also invite you to check out that other site to see what is up there, and finally to let you in on two things we recently learned about and are incorporating into our upcoming May trip:
First is Grand Gatherings...8 or more people staying on-site can take advantage of Disney Planning and certain Disney events. THey have an entire website for signing up your group and you can chat at that site, etc.
I learned recently that when you stay at the same resort, that they try to put you in rooms on the same floor and close by each other. (This might be a great advantage to us for our trip in two weeks, because the 'leader' has a 2bedroom Boardwalk view and we are hoping to get a little bump up from standard view.)
We decided on a Grand Gathering event for May(April 30-May6)...the dinner at Epcot, and then after dinner a dessert reception in that private area on its own little dock for watching Illuminations...This was $60 or 2TS (on DDP). We are meeting prior to dinner at our fearless leader's 2 bdromBWV for margaritas.
In October, we are looking at the Pirate Cruise for a GG. But one of the gals and I are planning on arriving early, on Saturday, Sept 29, in hopes that there is a Party of the Senses that night. I've heard wonderful things about this party at Epcot in honor of the Food and WIne Festival, and I was wondering if any of you ladies might consider joining us? allearsnetdotnet has a write up of POS; it is rather expensive but it is a dinner of 'food stations' from all the best chefs at WDW plus they bring in others from NYC,SF and NO etc....and wine tastings too.
I'll be back to read through all the posts on this thread and to hopefully see if I can join in on any in October. I hope you don't take any offense at my suggestions to check out the other web site and we 'Grand Gatherings'Boardwalk Babes over there and I hope some of you may be interested in the Party of the Senses on the last Saturday in Sept (the 29)which kicks off the Food and Wine Festival, I think! It would be ever so much more fun to have a large group of us at this party.
