POP CENTURY ... LAST WEEK of SEPT. 07 MEET

[DisneyMom5]

Hi Sarah...My name is Tammie, a.k.a BINKYJ, and I am an addict too. I had my schedule done 2 months ago and made all of my ADR's at 180 days out before I even booked my package (just picked the week that everyone said free dining was ending and kept my fingers crossed, lol) and before I asked DH or got the okay from my DSD's Mom to take her out of school on her 4th week of classes

I LOVE to plan trips but for 16 people??
I would be intimidated. I commend you for it and KNOW that it will go well!
My backup plan if things aren't going my way is to come back to the resort, throw DSD in the pool, hand 2 beers to DH (one for each hand, of course) and get me something frosty to drink and start over later.

I made my ADRs the same way...no resort ressie, waiting on Free dining. Gamble paid off this time!

And that's my plan for my dh too! LOL
Great minds think alike!

Won't we all be excited when we get to the packing stage!!!

At least we can all obsessively pack together.

Hi binkyj286 - another martini fan..woohoo, if you like chocolate and coconut try brown sugar sprinkled fresh pineapple slices cooked on the bbq (in pieces or wedges on sticks) and then dip into melted chocolate sauce made by mixing good melted chocolate with malibu (coconut rum) and a bit of cream...yum, yum or more interesting is use chilli vodka instead…very nice too

Now THAT sounds FABULOUS and perfect since it is starting to become BBQ weather New England

Hi everyone~ Hope you all had a great weekend. I spent most of the weekend sick & packing up my apartment because we are moving into a new house. Yay! I'll be so happy when we are done moving though, it's a lot of work, especially with a baby around who thinks he needs all of the attention

Congratulations on the house! We bought ours about a year and a half ago and I still walk in and go "this is mine?" Then I open that big, fat mortgage bill and go "yup! this IS mine"

I made my ADRs the same way...no resort ressie, waiting on Free dining. Gamble paid off this time!

And that's my plan for my dh too! LOL
Great minds think alike!

Won't we all be excited when we get to the packing stage!!!

At least we can all obsessively pack together.

Anyone else starting to p/u things now? I have a box that I use to toss in little things that I pick up as they go on sale....Pantene, soap, toothpaste, etc...
DH thinks I am nuts but I ask him if he really wants me to shop for all this stuff the week before and have one BIG bill cause half our stuff isn't on sale?? Sometimes I don't get him.....

 

[Goofy4UM]

I too am awed that Utahmama and Goofy4UM will be around – we’re not worthy … we’re not worthy…

You are to funny. I am hoping for a good time meeting different people with the same thing in common. Like Disney??

I have Chef Mickey ADR's at 6pm and then plan to head over to MK to view the castle and watch Specto/Wishes

I wonder if we get enough people if there is a special viewing spot we can "reserve" for the fireworks and/or Spectro? Kinda like a Grand Gathering function?

 

[pooch]

Using the last of LAST year's vacation today so I'm here for an hour or so.

DD called yesterday, you know, the one that got the short straw? Well it seems a few of her friends (they're all graduating from college in 3 weeks - no more tuition payments!!!) want to get together in late Sept at - wait for it --- Disney!!! "My Mom can help get you free food!!!" and NOW she's all excited about the trip although I might have more solo time than I originally thought. Oh well, as long as she wants to go!!!

Well you could relive your youth and hang with the girls !

To funny!

So does anyone have a special spot they like for Spectro and Wishes?
For Spectro I like anywhere in Liberty Square and for Wishes I like the Rose Garden...Tinkerbell practically flies right over your head.
Of course....I did TGM last year and thats where I got the ideas but when I used the spots I really liked them

How about Illuminations? Anyone have a fav spot for that too?

 

[scrappinmom]

We love to watch wished/spectro right in front of Casey's corner, and Illuminations right across from the margarita stand in Mexico (for obvious reasons having nothing to do with the view)

Not sure if we'll make it back to MK for wishes on the 22nd. We're going to mickey's BBQ that night - but we should be back at POP by the time all of you get there.

 

[keliblue]

DH and I are to new to WDW to have a "spot" so I would love to hear from others.

 

[keliblue]

Good morning all Time to get this party started !!

Of course, I paniced an booked my airfare on SW (Portland to MCO for my god kids, Sac to MCO for DH and me) a few days ago and now I am seeing lower airfare on Yahoo travel $`134 on way from Portland.. I paid $179 Hoping for a DING !!

 

[MarmiteOnToast]

Ok, maybe we should compare notes. Which is worse...30 hours on a plane with 1 child, or 20 hours in a van with seven? It's like a wacky math problem, eh? LOL

I guess since we stop once for the night we are slightly better rested, but you get to let someone else drive. Hmmmmm.....

Considering I have been "Pregnant and/or nursing, since 1998!" I haven't had a lot of drinks in the last few years, and everything sounds good. LOL

Hope we get to meet you!

Hi DisneyMom5 - as a Dismally-Disorganised-Mum-Of-One I have such respect for you with 5!! Even the logistics of it all scare me - what's your washing basket like?!? buying toilet roll for 7?!? How many shopping trolleys do you need to do your weekly shopping?!!??

All these and other questions fill my little head until I get distracted by something nice and shiny. You are EXACTLY the sort of person who I try to think of when I'm on long, long flights...so, R*E*S*P*E*C*T to you - still, we can compare notes and sip on a Mummy's Little Relaxer when we get there!

And Goofy4UM - (sorry, can't work out how to quote you now I'm in my message ). Now then SirG, I'm counting on you to come along too and act all sensible and normal and reassure my DH - he'll have combined 'English reserve+Australian laidbackness+30 hours no-sleep' so I don't think he should be exposed to a swimming pool of glow in the dark excited DISers all trying to speak at once. In fact, he doesn't even know about the DISboards yet he's going to think I'm really two dingoes short of a pack !! (Now - you all know that we don't actually say that in Australia - just trying to put a bit of local colour in - oops scuse me, gotta dash, the koala just fell in the billabong and Bruce, BRUCE you maggot - those shrimp are burning on the barbie dahl !! )

Yahhhh it's called my butt on the curb saving seats

What - no towel!! SACRILAGE (or even sacrilige... sacrilege... sackrilidge... nope, it's getting worse, oh heck) - HERESY Keliblue, heresy...

And I have to ask you all, I'm sure you have them as we're SOO behind the times over here - it's true, our shops are practically empty, I can't get a lime green bagallinni in the whole flamin' country! But I CAN get hold of plastic glow in the dark mugs over here, it's a plastic glass and the little glowy straws clip into the bottom of them. You surely have them doncha? If not, I can see if they pack OK and bring some over for the goodie bags - I'd love to join in if I may? Pleaseprettypleasepretty....I'll bring some roopoo...it's very tasty...no honest, just wait and see...

 

[keliblue]

You are one WACKY AUSSIE you crack me up You are more then welcome to do whatever makes that pretty little head of yours happy, Joining us in our mischievious planning and decadent cocktailing is only the tip of the iceberg I'm afraid .

I vote for NOT telling your hubby about the DIS Can you just imagine his face when you walk by the pool and a bunch of loud American women start yelling his name He will have one He!! of a jaw dropping experience.. How the heck do they know me OMG I can't wait

Thanks for letting me know about the deal from Portland. I haven't got my tickets yet, so I'll have to check that out. I also went on Travelocity last night & saw tickets on United (I think?) and they were $269 R/T. I've got to get them purchased soon though...I have a tendency to procrastinate when it comes to buying airfare.

 

[becky_AK]

I like the idea of watching spectro & wishes on the 22nd & then going back to Pop for our Pool/drink party. We get in on the 22nd & decided not to make any dining plans for that night just in case we were delayed or anything like that. So, we are pretty much open for anything/anytime on the 22nd.

 

[mom2my3kids]

We arrive around 2 on Sept 22nd, we plan on heading to MK then off to dinner at Ohana at 8:20 what time is the meet up?

Welcome ... I'm glad you found your way over here We are shooting for around 10 at the HIPPY DIPPY POOL.. Some of us will be there earlier to let the kids swim. And I will be the one with the cocktail in my hand. Until then we are planning .. we have to do something to make the time pass quicker
