And it will be worth going just to watch Sara eat the Kitchen Sink over at my favorite resort, the Beach Club.

Oh lordy, what have I gotten myself into! I was hoping people could get past the germ-o-phobia and SHARE the darn thing!

I also want to go to MVMCP on Friday night. I'll need to do something to walk off the stiffness of sitting in a plane all day. Plus then I won't have to say I flew all the way there just for one day in the parks.

So I'm ready to plan ahead here.

Must come to the party! The cookies and hot chocolate will be calling your name! We'll help you walk off the stiffness from the plane!
Plus, I hear Kimmy and Missa know all the hiding places in the MK, and midnight is only 9:00 your time -so you'll be up for it! Right?



Sara

 

[Pakey]

Yes, I will be able to stay awake for the Friday night party, no problem. As long as I get some food along the way somewhere. I'm always starving after that long travel day. And good to know that Kimmy and Missa got all of the inside scoops. I've been to the party one time but I spent most of it riding Buzz over and over because I couldn't get over the no lines.

And I'll help a bit with the kitchen sink if you insist. I'm not a germaphobe at all. I have 2 housedogs, I had to get over my germ issues when I got them.

But I still think it'd be more fun just watching you try to eat it all yourself. I'd be glad to take pics of you doing it.

Michelle, since you have annual passes, do you also have the DDE card for TS meal discounts (it's also good at Pop's food court I believe? Mo and I have one but it's in his name. When we renew in May, I might have to get one in my name too.

Or is everyone planning to get DDP?

Hey Pakey! Wow I didn't realize what a sacrafice you were making to meet us! You're one of those people who will eat after your dog are you? I had an aunt who woule share an ice cream cone with her dog! I'll share as long as I have my own spoon!

We're not getting the dining plan so we welcome any discounts!

You'll be in for a shock going to concierge to value resort!

Hi Charlene! Thanks for the tips. I never even thought about the Grand Gathering! I think we have 6 people so far.

Hi Charlene! Thanks for the tips. I never even thought about the Grand Gathering! I think we have 6 people so far.

My husband is still waiting to see if I will actually stay at a value resort. I think he's considering going just to see if I can do it. I'm actually looking forward to it. I've heard lots of good things out on these boards about Pop and I love trying new things.

I do not share food with my dogs. However, I do let my boy dog lick my face (well, I'd rather he didn't but he's always so happy to see me when I get home that I just can't be mean about it). I do not let my girl dog lick my face though. That crosses some weird boundary I have. So now that you know my dog licks my face, Sara isn't going to want to share that Kitchen Sink with my anymore.

Food discounts work for me too. In fact, I'm hoping to make our Sat night dinner a business meal picked up by the company. If that's the case, we may be picking somewhere nice. What's everyone's fav place?

Oh, how bad is resort airline checkin at Pop? I'm just curious how crowded that line will be on a Sunday morning? I know it's a pretty big resort and probably everyone flies home on Sundays.

I don't have the DDE card but want to get one - I keep forgetting about it. Maybe I will get it before my October trip and then we'll have it for December!

 

[KariC]

Hi!!! I am here!!!! Let the Partay begin!!!!


I'm Kari, one of the two ladies going for a family vacay that the rest are crashing! So, we'll be in a 2 bedroom at a DVC resort Dec 3-9 or 10). Might be fun to leave them all for a night at POP, tho....think I can convince Adam?

I was at WDW in 76 (at 3), and since then....Sept 05 at POFQ (twins 3rd b-day), DCL in June 06 (no kids, 10th anniversary), Feb 07 at BWV (15 weeks preggers), Jan/Feb 08 at SSR (Anderson's 1st trip to WDW).

 

[KariC]

We have APs....might be doing DDP in December, though.....we didn't do DE this last trip, but did the ddp deluxe. Too much food!!! (but tried lots of new places....)

 

[Poohtigeey]

Pakey, I am cracking up here! Yes, don't let your GIRL dog lick your face! We're not worried. You can spend your time on the plane cleaning your face!

Michelle and I thought that maybe we should do Epcot on Sat since that's the place open the latest and it's got a good night life. Plus Michelle has never seen Illuminations. What do you all think? Not all of us will be able to hop so wherever we pick we're there for the day. So we were thinking maybe Japan to eat. However Le Cellier and Coral Reef are very good too. Don't forget we're dealing with some pretty picky eaters (me and Michelle).

 

[AUdisfan]

Hey ya'll!

I'm Molly, the other one going with my family at this time. We're going to be at VWL with me, DH, DD(5), DS(almost 2 in Dec) and my parents (I better not tell their ages) there Dec 6 - 12. Since we're arriving on Sat., I'll only get to spend a little time Sat afternoon/evening with the ladies.

We went to WDW numerous times when I was growing up. We spent several spring breaks in one of the trailers they used to rent out at Ft Wilderness. I've loved Disney ever since. My family went back once when I was in college and we stayed at POFQ which was great. My next trip was in June 1998 with DH who was my DBF until we got to WDW and then he became my DF. THat's right, he proposed to me at WDW. It was his first trip and he was totally blown away by it. We stayed at CSR which I really liked. Especailly the food court. Then we went back to WDW for our honeymoon in Dec 1998 and stayed at POR when it was still Dixie Landings. Then we went back in 2000 (CSR again). We bought DVC in Dec of 2001 and took our first trip home with my parents and brother in June 2002. DH and I went back in Dec 2002 when I was pregnant with DD. We went in Dec 2004 (VWL), Dec 2005(VWL), Oct/Nov 2006 (OKW, pregnant w/DS) and Feb 2008(OKW). That sounds like a lot (for somebody who lives 7 hrs away), is that a lot?

I can't wait to see what fun plans ya'll come up with.

Awww! I didn't know you got engaged at Disney!

 

[Poohtigeey]

Hey Molly! We want details! Where did he propose? Very cool!

 

[princessjv]

Oh My goodness Michelle! We will be there at the same time as you again! We are flying in either Thanksgiving PM or the next day, staying until the 6th. (We have to get home for an annual holiday party that PM). We will be at the POP for the first few nights...paying RACK Rates Then we are heading to the BCV. If our schedules match at all, I'd love to meet with you all!

 

[KariC]

ok, another picky one here. pakey, is japan very nutty? i am strongly opposed to introducing you all to my nut allergy....I do feel my safest at WDW, seriously, but open nuts might be an issue.

sorry to be a downer...

Oh my goodness Jen! That would great to meet up with you! Stay tuned here for our plans. Will you be doing a PTR? I know it's a bit early but we needed a way to get all our thoughts together. Is your whole family going?

**For everyone else - Jen is the first DISer I ever met! We met last October when we were both at POP. It was fun and she is a sweetie!

Not a downer at all Kari - we can't take any chances!

 

[Pakey]

Molly, I can't believe you never told us you got engaged at WDW. I agree, more details are needed. I so very much wanted one of my sons to marry at WDW. 2 are married now, neither wanted to do it at the World, and the 3rd has emphatically told me that he will not marry at WDW.

Kari, don't know about Japan and nuts. I would think it would be okay, you just have to make sure that nothing is cooked with any type of nut oils--that is probably a bigger risk than there actually being any nuts in the food. And you won't be raining on my parade by having that allergy. You have to take it seriously and if that means we have to limit our choices, that's fine with me. I could have a funnel cake for dinner and be happy. I'll probably have a funnel cake anyway.

My favorite place in Epcot to eat is Bistro de Paris but can totally understand that most of the group would not like it. I also like Coral Reef (much more than I like Le Cellier). I've eaten at most of the places but have not tried the new Italy place. I'd probably be fine dining at any of them except I might whine a bit if it's San Angel because that's so not good Mexican food. We could also go to the Boardwalk or any of the Epcot resorts too if we need to find something suitable for nut allergies.

I'm getting hungry just thinking about the options here. Do not put me in charge of food.

 

[mkluvsmickey]

Soooo.....Pakey will be in charge of food.

 

[mom2mek]

I second that nomination!



Sara

 

[Pakey]

Oh mannnnnn, how did that happen?

Should I post my eel pictures here?

Sara, I guarantee that it at least will not be Easter candy or Girl Scout cookies.

 

[KariC]

Faith does food!!!!

(I like coral reef, le cellier, would love france-i'm sure, don't want bad mexican food-have had to much real stuff!)


So-Friday is Christmas party----i hope i can do one with the family, too!! Imagine, two MVMCP in one trip!!

Saturday is Epcot.

Sunday before everyone leaves? Character Breakfast so we can be silly??
