PTR-Cheating on Mickey w/Harry!...OMG! Only a month to go!

[Leshaface]

Well, yeah, but it is over a month apart! One is mid October and the other us late November. I've got to start that PTR!

Agh so jealous of all your trips! I'll shoot you a text here pretty soon

I wouldn't be jealous until I actually take one of them! So far I keep writing PTRs but never seem to get to take them!

GPS says we'll be there by 1:30, that's without potty stops.

Good thinking!

So for those of you who know me well, you'll know that the other thing that I am as passionate about on par with Disney and food is band.

A little background: In 1982 the first Gay Games were held in San Francisco, not only were the athletes involved but so were the relatively few gay musical organizations. While I was not involved in this event, members of our band were. Every four years since then there have been Gay Games in cities all over the world. Fran has participated in several and both of us were in GGVI in Chicago in 2006.

Well this is the 30th anniversary of the original games and they will be holding a celebration in West Hollywood. The problem? It is October 20-21 and we're on a retun flight on the 20th. Well not anymore. I spent the morning redoing our almost entire itinerary, and moving things up two days so that we are back on the 18th instead. This gives us a day of rest and the possibility of maybe performing Saturday night in addition to at the awards brunch on Sunday.

I was able to keep much of our itinerary intact. So here is the new revised itinerary:

Monday October 8, 2012
Fly LAX to MCO, pick up rental car, check into Loew's Royal Pacific Hotel, dinner at Jake's American Bar.

Tuesday October 9, 2012
Visit IOA & WWoHP early, relax in room, dinner at Emeril's Tchoup Choup.

Wednesday October 10, 2012
WWoHP early before checkout, move to VWL, grocery shopping, late dinner at 'Ohana.

Thursday October 11, 2012
Not a clue! Probably MK. Need to think about a dinner reservation.

Friday October 12, 2012
Check out of VWL and into BCV. At some point we will have retuned the rental car. Lunch will be at F&W, either the kiosks or a regional lunch, dinner will likely be at the Swan & Dolphin Fest.

Saturday October 13, 2012
There is talk of a Jamborini meet on this day. I'm hoping thay they will still have the Grand Mariner tasting and then either PFTS or back to the Swolphin.

Sunday October 14, 2012
I've got a lunch reservation at the Sci-Fi Dine in Theater, but no dinner plans.

Monday October 15, 2012
This day I plan on dining leisurely from the kiosks around Epcot. Rentayenta will have arrived in WDW over the weekend, so hopefully she and her family will join us.

Tuesday October 16, 2012
Same plan as Monday

Wednesday October 17, 2012
If all goes well and my waitlist comes through it will be another day of F&W kiosks. Otherwise we'll be moving back to the VWL to conclude the trip.


Thursday October 18, 2012
This will be our day to return home. DME will pick us up between 9-10AM and we'll be on our way back home.

So there you have it a trip rearranged all before noon today.

Please call me Jenny. My screen name bugs me to no end. I'm looking forward to meeting you and Fran.

I love how you can switch it all around so quickly. And it's terrific you'll get to perform too.

Have the tastings and special F&W events been released yet?

 

[kmedina]

Excellent planning. I am glad you were able to move everything around, so you can still go to WDW and attend the games. Sounds like an awesome couple of weeks for you.

 

[mvf-m11c]

Came to check out your PTR and it looks very nice and all planned out. It's a good idea that you pushed back your trip so you can participate in the games.

I never know how to address people. PIO likes to use her DIS name, but OK Jenny it is! They have not released the info. You need to sub into the F&W thread. You'll get the latest info subbing in there.

Actually the games themselves are in 2014 in Cleveland I think. This is just a "celebration" which should be fun. I'm glad we'll be back in time to attend because this could be a good opportunity for exposure in the community. Our Swing Band would like to get hired for some private events so that we can help raise funds for operation of the band. Our budget is just under $30,000 annually so anything that the Swing Band can do to get publicity and hired for private events is appreciated!

I made a couple more ADRs since I posted and we'll see if I can keep them once we book our F&W special events.

I think I'm subscribed? I've posted. Do you have a link? I don't get notifications sent to email because I post so much, my inbox would blow up.

I've had to turn off email too, but I view it from my UserCP so I see when there are new posts.

Is the thread in the Theme Park section?




I just have to say, I'm sitting in the backyard, it's about 82*, the girls are putting up the tent, and we're going to make S'mores which will go perfectly with my Guinuess.....life is good. if Joshua was feeling better and Michael was home, it would be perfect.

I'm jealous! We packed up Arline's apartment yesterday and this morning. It was 101 degrees when we finished. I bought a bathing suit and I'm hiding in the hotel room waiting for it to cool down enough that i can stand to go in the pool because its in the hot sun.

Why are you in a hotel?

 

[franandaj]

Why are you in a hotel?

we are moving our friend Arline from Tulare to Long Beach. The friends driving the Uhaul just left, we'll be an hour or so behind.

 

[kmedina]

Everything you are doing for Arline is very nice. You are a dear friend. Hope everything works out nicely. She must be excited to be moving cloer to y'all.

She has mixed feelings, she has a lot of friends up there, but no one who will really stand up for her in case she has another heart attack, falls down or whatever. There are better doctors here too. Now we just have to get her stuff in and unpacked.

Hope it all works out for everyone.

Exactly! I seem to be the one who has no choice but keeps getting yanked around!
