SDV August 21-24 2008 WE'RE HOME!!!

[AlexWyattMommy]

I think Kim and I are planning to meet in our lobby before 7. That should give us plenty of time to be dropped off in front of the Beach Club. Where is the restaurant from the lobby?

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

here is a good map:

basically when you walk in the door of the Beach Club it's right there.

I asked the guy at Group Ressies and there are unconfirmed reports that disney is trying to have photopass people at some of the character meals. I'm not sure how true that is but I'm sure someone there will get a pic! If anyone gets 1 good shot we can share! I think I will bring my laptop with me so I can download pics if need be.

I'm doing a Photopass share for this trip and would be happy to share pix
they might take at the b-fast if you want them!

Leavin' in 5 days and not packed yet!

How can you not be packed yet?
I'd be freaking out.
Course now I have to do laundry everyday because we don't own enough socks & small clothes. They are all packed.

 

[Kim1964]

AWM, don't worry about finding Cape May....I've been there a couple of times, so no worries.

I packed my clothes and DD#2 yesterday. DD#1 and I have to do hers today. The tough part of going in the summer is that we still have to wear these clothes before the trip. I'll have to do laundry on Tuesday, but at least we'll be mostly packed. My pink T shirt that Buffy made is already in the suitcase. So is my gourmet coffee, which I cannot live without for 12 days!

 

[rgionet]

I hear you about the coffee! I don't drink coffee, but I am trying to figure out if I am going to try to pack a 12 pack of diet coke in my suitcase! That's one thing I can't be without!

There was also something posted about snacks, but the prices seemed outrageous to me.

Hey, BAMB, can I get your cell phone number? I have Kim's and AWM, they have mine. Call if you need to.

 

[Diana Lyn]

There was also something posted about snacks, but the prices seemed outrageous to me.

Yea, $27 for 6 bottles of water. I'm going to stop at Walmart on my way up and buy 6 cases for that price and just charge people $4 a bottle---my stand will be a bargain!!

Seriously though---if anyone needs me to pick up anything, I can stop at Walmart or Publix. I'll be leaving right after I drop Em off at school. I have to physically walk DH through the drop off process for each kid or I'll be a nervous wreck.

Emma starts Kindergarten next Monday.

 

[rlovew]

I can bring things for us all also, or we can all head out somewhere if we need something in the middle of the night- those snack prices were extremely outrageous.

[rgionet]

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE if someone would be willing to pick up a 12 pack of diet coke for me.

The snack prices looked outrageous and I really need my diet coke fix during the night!

Just let me know - I'll pay you the second I see you!!!

I have been debating on how I was going to pack it in my checked in luggage for the flight down, but I was afraid it would explode

Sure, let's see (6) Soft Drinks $28.80 X 2 = $57.60. I'll make you a deal and get you a 12pk for $40!!

For real though, I'm picking up a 12pk of Diet for my buddy Gail, so it will be no problem grabbing another.

 

[rgionet]

Gee $40 does sound like a bargain!!!

Thanks so much for doing this Diana!!!!

 

[tubachick]

don't forget about garden grocer.... I am having water and soda delivered to the resort for DH and myself.

[rgionet]

I had considered that (I have used garden grocer for previous trips), but I needed to have a minimum order of $40 plus pay the $12 delivery fee plus tip and that just didn't seem worth it for just a 12-pack of diet coke!

They are a great idea though if you are staying more than just a few days or need several items. We have even had them deliver some alcoholic beverages on a previous vacation!

 

[tubachick]

we thought of that!! got a bunch of snack food for DH while he lounges at the pool while scrapping as well as some alcoholic beverages for the evening.



we did plan on going to the AC at DTD on Tuesday night... just to kick our week off right.

 

[rgionet]

Excellent planning!!!!

Also sounds like a great way to start off your week!

Renee I am coming in on Thursday morning and doing a grocery store stop, do you want me to pick some up for you?

nevermind, saw that Diana has you covered!

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

and I'm not feeling the menus. Nothing sounds appetizing except breakfast. I just might be doing quick service the whole weekend.

And the snack thing??? OMG!!! Are they crazy?!?!? I'll bring a cooler and open up BAMB's Bar and Grill for that price!
