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

[mickeymouseclubhouse]

First of all, big to Linda (S/G), becky_ak, keliblue and all the other folks going through tough times right now. Aren't bad things only supposed to happen in 3's? It seems this group has had more than that, and certainly more than their share lately. If anyone deserves a little Disney, it's you all.



We've shipped a box down before a vacation before, and it worked like a charm. It was especially good for shipping stuff back home at the end of the vacation--we went a little overboard on souveniers at mousesurplus one year. I don't know if POP offers this service, but CSR (along with several other resorts, I've been told) has a great business center that cheerfully taped up (duh, didn't think to bring packing tape) and mailed off our gigantic box for <$20 total. Just something to keep in mind--it might be cheaper than buying an extra suitcase.

Oh, packing tape for the stuff I want to ship home Good one! I hadn't though about that! That would be cool if Pop offered that service as well. I wonder if anyone knows? Thanks for the tip. I'll have to keep that in mind!

Hi everyone ! I just wanted to Pop in and say Hi to everyone. My son and I will be at the meet on the 22nd. We can't wait to meet everyone.

Re: Schleping things down...Why do you think we have a 15 passenger van and drive? LOL

Actually, because it's configured for 15 it does not have a lot of cargo room. Sigh. But, I am not in the mood to pack too many days worth of clothes, so I am only taking 4 days worth. But that's times 9, so do the math. My mom is also riding with us, so that's 10 people plus luggage. My goal for our immediate family is 2 suitcases, one big square duffle bag, and a carryon.
That seems doable, right?

It helps that it is guarenteed to be hot, because then I am not packing both winter and summer clothes.

Dh caught me packing the other day and gave me the eye, but I just gave him back the "YEAH, I am. Wanna make something of it?"

He knows I'm nuts. I have been married to him for almost 16 years!!! LOL

Shhh, don't tell, but he's started to get excited about the trip. Work is very stressful for him, and he's ready to be gone for 2 weeks.

Ok, busy day for me today, as my folks decided last minute to come visit tomorrow til Friday, so we have some, ahem, "fervent cleaning" to do.
Have a great day! We're almost there!!!

[Who leaves first? We leave home on the 15th. The last one here needs to turn the lights out! LOL]

Morning POPpers

I'm down to 24 days. Yup, 3 weeks and 3 more days. I think I'm one of the the first ones heading down. I only wish I can stay for 2 weeks. One of these days, I will.

SG/Linda - sorry to hear about your loss. Sending lots of your way.

 

[eeyore45]

Linda How are things today? How far in Ohio are you going? Hope the weather stops raining! It was a hard drive from IL to IN yesterday in places!

Jenni BEARS WIN!! I'm mostly a Cub fan, but I believe in the Sox as well - I think its ALL good!!! Been to both stadiums for games - its fun! Much bigger football, hockey fan then baseball!!

Pooch maybe the question is - WHAT do YOU pack!! I have shorts, tops, jewelry, makeup, curling iron, hair spray, shampoo, conditioner, sunscreen, chapstick, fans, noise machines, water bottles, cameras, cell phones, chargers, 3 pairs of shoes, 1 dress, our EPCOT yard of ale glass!! PJ's, Tinkerbelle gifts for DD, more stuff!!

I am so glad to hear that your DH is getting excited about the trip Mine is too... Finally

I think I am one of the last to arrive at POP (21st) but only because DH are going to the Villa's at Vero Beach for a few days before we pick the kids up at the airport and head to POP

Good morning everyone! I was reading through some of the threads and I'm very sorry for the tough times that a lot of you have been going through. Things have to get better!

As far as wrestling for the lime green Goofy, I'd be willing to give it up, but you'll have to check with DD. She'd might be willing to trade for something princessy or high school musical. She's obsessed with those lately

Anyway, quick question? What do you bring the Epcot yard of ale glass for? We got 2 our last trip which was our first trip. Can you get cheaper refills or something???? TIA!

2 weeks ? I am jealous. Our first trip was 2 weeks long staying at Carribean Beach. I loved every minute of it - and of course I was hooked. We usually try to make our trips at least 10 days.

It sounds like my son and I are packing more for two people than you are for 10 You must be incredibly organized ! I just start throwing stuff in

We leave on the 12th ! It will be here before you know it

Although I don't drink, I don't mind bringing something. I would have to leave it with someone maybe the morning of since I'm not sure what time we'll make it to the party. I could possible bring a cooler. Just let me know what you folks like to drink and I'll see what I can do.

 

[sunlover13]

I will not come empty handed, but I don't know what I'm going to bring yet. It will probably be a bottle of booze and whatever else I can fit in my suitcase. I know, I know - buy a bigger suitcase!

OR

I'd be more than willing to give money if someone has room or is driving and wants to pick up some extra stuff for me. I can send you a check. Just a thought...........

We are not going to get there until after Illuminations...........Hopefully DD will still be going at this point. We are doing MNSHHP the night before and she never naps!

 

[lutherlovr]

I am bringing a cooler on the trip...I can bring it over to the party. It's not very big though...
What kind of fruit should I get?!?

Keli~I'm going to put an order in next week with Gardengrocer.com. I can order a couple things of OJ & I'll bring a couple of bottles of wine & maybe I can get stuff for margaritas too. Anyway, count me in for bringing some stuff. I'm not sure what time we'll be at the party now because our dinner reservations were changed to a later time (that's what I get for letting Dad make some ressies). We are eating at 8pm at Grand Floridian but then we'll head to Pop as soon as we are done. I still really want to try & get a group photo of everyone.

 

[eeyore45]

Kelli - I'm bringing glow sticks, and I have a rolling small cooler that I will fill with ice!! I should also try and fit a bottle of vodka in my cooler!!

We are going to try and keep this to GLOW JUICE (fruit juice and vodka) but I know that we (or should I say DH is going to bring BEER)

I can pick up something for you DH and I will be driving back from Vero Beach on the 21st.. We can settle up at the party

and where have you been I've missed you . Please bring your cooler over, we can mix a Non Booze concoction in it As for fruit, I would just pick up some precut stuff at the POP food court... Eazy Pezy

Ahhhhhhhhhh Yes to all of the above ..

OMG. OMG.. OMG we are going to have WAY to much fun

Ok, I just talked to DH via email (we are both at work, hardly working.....). He says we will just bring something so that we don't look like we are coming "empty handed." I think he is more worried about it all being gone by the time we get there

So, thank you so much for your offer!

We will bring some sort of booze & mixer & lots of GLOW stuff, of course. I'll try to bring some cups too if I can manage to get them in my overstuffed suitcase without smashing, cracking, whatever.............

1 more month to go!

Did I mention DD has no idea we are going? I need to figure out how I'm going to surprise her. I'm open to suggestions
