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

[BernardandMissBianca]

COOL!!!!

So if Diana Lyn and all her roomies come we will have 12 people for breakfast.

 

[Kim1964]

What time are ya'll looking at? Around 9??

That works for me. We may be there a bit earlier because DH and the kids will be looking to make rope drop at AK...but I'm OK wandering around the BC Marketplace until our ADR time.

Jumping in on this thread! I signed up for one of the Local 4 day packages. I'm coming from Delaware, but I'm a cast member and can get a better room discount being a CM.

I have tons of house cleaning to do, but I'll be back later to read the whole thread

ETA- I'll be flying with my scrapping stuff... any tips on packing it all besides preplanning pages?

 

[Diana Lyn]

The year before last when I flew down from NY, I picked one big project, my wedding album where I needed all the same colored embellishments, papers, etc. That made it easy for me because all I needed was that and my basic tools. I put my table top tote thing in a suitcase and was pretty much packed.

This year I think I'm going to work on my DVC album that has been back burnered for like 3 years now. We got these awesome leather albums on a cruise a few years back and I'm planning on doing a 2 page layout for each trip we've taken since we got married and bought DVC.

If anything just bring a ton of paper so if you get stuck you can just go to the punch center and cut all the shapes, there are so many! I also bring a stack of blank cards and work on those.

As we get closer we can work things out better but if there's anything specific anyone needs and doesn't want to lug, just ask and I'll be happy to bring anything along since I'll be driving over this year.

Buffy, count me in for breakfast too!

I will be driving to Orlando for the event since I am only about 2 hours away. I know it is possible to ship things to the resorts, but if anyone that is having to fly in wants to ship their items to my house I can bring them down with me. I will be arriving Thursday am. Didn't know if a lot of people would be shipping things down making it difficult to locate items at the resort. Just a thought.

Me too!

I'd like to be part of the breakfast if you all will have me. If we're all paying cash and can be on one check, I can use my cast member discount for up to 4 people I think.

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

Welcome aboard and we would love to have you join us for breakfast.

I haven't figured out the meal plan yet, but since it's a buffet we will know ahead of time what the cost will be. I don't mind paying for it, but I just want to make sure I get my $$, ya know! LOL
I may have everyone paypal me or mail a check before we get down there, that way I will have the money on my card.

allearsnet.com updated their menu in Feb 2008 and it says $18.99 for adults. That's a pretty good deal if you ask me.

Ok so we are at 13. Do you want me to send out a PM with the confirmation ##'s or shall we all just meet in the lobby? I will PM everyone with my cell # when we get closer too.

Does anyone have any food allergies that I need to be aware of???

Can everyone please PM me your real names that you registered with if ya'll want to sit together. I will send a note on to Nancy and Dale.

DH is going to help me make some big Lime Green Mickey Heads with my cricut and a stand for them. That way we can find our tables. And I was thinking about maybe a local scrapper getting some lime green balloons?

 

[Kim1964]

For those of us being driven to the Beach Club, will we need the confirmation # to get past the guard at the gate? Or will we have a name we can give as having a reservation at the restaurant?

Buffy, thanks for handling all of the arrangements.

I have to tell you guys, I was a little nervous asking DH for the "time off" during our vacation....but he said OK immediately. I've been so happy all day at the thought of meeting so many of you!! I had this great idea that those of us near Hartford could sign up for the CK event in October and we could scrap our breakfast pictures together, LOL!

You shouldn't need a confirmation number. I usually just say we're coming for breakfast, show my license and they send me in.


Buffy--I pm'd you our real names. Thanks for organizing!

Did you send all of ours??? I don't want to bombard Buffy with all of our names, if she didn't need them.

I'm not sure but I will give you the number just in case. In light of the scam artist going around stealing peoples money, security might be tighter then in years past.

I am doing CKC Hartford, let me know if you need a roomie! Even though it's close I think I'm just going to stay over Friday and Sat. I just need to see if DH and the kids are going to stay with me and come home during the day.

I want to try to get a group pics with the characters if we can!

Got it Diana, thanks!

yes she did Amy. I don't mind being bombarded though. I hope keeping this thread going will make the time go faster! I don't think I can wait the whole 5 months!!! LOL

Thanks for the link. Will check that out.

Do you need my real name? Will you email me the ressie number? what kind of stand to you need? Will one of mine CM ones work? Do I hafta paypal you my breakfast money? Do you really want to be my roommate?

Shall we do name tags for breakfast? I know I am going to have a tough time with matching real names to board names.

Buffy, perhaps we could give out your cell number and mine, in case.

Smartie Pants!!!!!

We should probably do name tags, you and I can cut up a bunch of lime green mickey heads on the cricut. We'll put our DIS names and our real names.

OMG, ya know what??? I get to meet my imaginary friends!!!!! It just dawned on me!

It really is exciting...I'm just meeting you all for breakfast and I can hardly stand it....I can't imagine if I was actually cropping with you!!

BTW, DH says to me yesterday, "So why didn't you register for this thing your friends are going to?" Never in a million years did I see that coming! I took the opportunity to tell him about Hartford CKC instead and he's good with it.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I know! I talk about you all so much, but my family is convinced I'm making you all up.
