Did I already say how I hate free dining.

Did you know you're my favorite hater?

Knock knock knock, can I come in? Michelle PMd me because she saw I am doing a solo trip over the dates of your meet. I recognize a few of you from my trippies, hi DisneyJo and KatGarcia! I just wondered if I see your group at Epcot that Saturday night (I am planning Illuminations that night too) would you mind if I popped over and said hello?

Allyson

Sure...I think we will be kind of hard to miss

BTW Hi, I'm Janet

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

So I did it. I put my garden grocer order in. It really makes me think that the trip is almost here

My next project is to print up the iron ons for Jimmy and Andrew's shirts. I have to get Andrew 1 more shirt and get the transfer paper from Staples and they will be ready to go.

Hi!!!

You should def hang wiht us...provided you are into Sake & MArgaritas and Grey Goose Slushes...LOL... or one of each....

 

[cmp1111]

Hi, Blue! Hi, Michelle! Hi, Allyson - I've seen you around, too.

I feel oddly that I am not needing to plan. (Someone pick T up off the floor, will you?)

Partially, I guess, because I feel it will be basically the same as last year as far as touring and so forth. Though things may have to change based on August vs. May...

And I don't plan outfits, either - I pack enough, and make a list before packing, but it's not "this on this particular day."

And I've had my ADR's since forever...

Janet, where did we end up on CP? I think the only thing I have noted is my original lunch ADR and I think that's wrong. Right?

What am I missing? Why aren't I planning? Help!

8:05 am on Sunday the 24th... Hopefully we can be seated, eat and be done with characters before 9:00am

Allyson

Hi Allyson! You're very welcomed to join us. As Kat said, perhaps a trip 'round WS and a Grey Goose slushie are just the ticket!

I feel oddly that I am not needing to plan. (Someone pick T up off the floor, will you?)

CE! What are you trying to do to me??

What am I missing? Why aren't I planning? Help!

I think it's time...... INTERVENTION!!!!!

My next project is to print up the iron ons for Jimmy and Andrew's shirts. I have to get Andrew 1 more shirt and get the transfer paper from Staples and they will be ready to go.

I'm sad, my family made me promise ... no Focker shirts this year! Buzz kills!

I nearly mentioned it so many times on your PreTR but thought you might think I was a real stalker

So I did it. I put my garden grocer order in. It really makes me think that the trip is almost here .

So what did you order????

And I don't plan outfits, either - I pack enough, and make a list before packing, but it's not "this on this particular day."

OMG at last someone who thinks like me Shhhhh don't tell T

Morning Fockers!! Getting ready for work, but wanted to do a drive-by...

Hi Allyson! I just found your Pre-Trip yesterday - the title sucked me right in...I'm so jealous of your solo trip!!

Bringing up to Tony and actual planning are 2 different things, ya know

This just in...I brought it up to Tony on the way to the movies Saturday night and it actually went better than I'd thought! Turns out he's all about a grown-up's only trip! Consider me a definite now, and not just a definite maybe!!

I also have been playing around with my outfit spreadsheet, I lost a few pounds and some shorts I had that didn't fit but now do

Way to go on losing a few! Time to update the spreadsheet!!

Oh and I have buyers remorse over a few ADR's ,

Story of my life... I'm not a big fan of the Fantasmic DP either...you always get stuck eating way too early...kind of throws a kink into your day...

I have seen Fantasmic once and have no real desire to see it again, but I do think Kelly may like it.

I think everyone should see Fantasmic at least once...you should definitely take her. She's going to like it, you'll see!

I feel oddly that I am not needing to plan. (Someone pick T up off the floor, will you?)

OMG - CE are you feeling ok??

What am I missing? Why aren't I planning? Help!

I'm going to WebMD right now and see what disease matches up with these symptoms...

Hi Allyson! You're very welcomed to join us. As Kat said, perhaps a trip 'round WS and a Grey Goose slushie are just the ticket!

What were those drinks Samantha Brown recommended...in France?? I want to try one of those too

CE! What are you trying to do to me??

I think it's time...... INTERVENTION!!!!!

Yep...CE, trust us...this is for your own good...

I'm sad, my family made me promise ... no Focker shirts this year! Buzz kills!

No shirts, eh? Did they leave the door open on hats???

OK, I'm out girls...Have a great day! LY/MI!!

 

[jcc0621]

I'm sad, my family made me promise ... no Focker shirts this year! Buzz kills!

Jim told me I am not allowed to make them for him, but I was free to do what I wanted for the kids and myself. Well, I have decided to just make some for the kids!

So what did you order????

Just some water, pull ups (Jimmy still has night accidents ), fruit snacks, granola bars and my gilrfriend ordered choc milk & oj and water, and a couple of ither things that I can't remember since I am not sitting in front of my computer at home.

 

[DisneyJo]

That's great LL, I'm so sad I can't go





Well it's official, my ME stuff came today, so the website did work

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

If Jo got her ME stuff that means that the rest of us should be getting it any day now as well. I'm keeping the ME reservation even though we have a rental car booked. You just never know if you are going to change your mind last minute and I like to be prepared for all possible scenarios.

 

[PrincessV]

So how serious are we thinking about Columbus day weekend 2009?

I'm not a definite, but if something is definitely scheduled I am going to try and work something out!

I'm down for that 100%, except I'm not sure if we'll be there before and during Columbus Day or during and after Columbus Day, KWIM?

Speaking of return trips, I am definitely on board for next year's meet if it's going to be around Columbus Day.

This just in...I brought it up to Tony on the way to the movies Saturday night and it actually went better than I'd thought! Turns out he's all about a grown-up's only trip! Consider me a definite now, and not just a definite maybe!!

I'd say FockerFest 2009 is looking like a done-deal! I'm in for sure - and I'm Leo-less that weekend.

BTW anybody hate the new dining line as much as me

Not since I started pushing 1.

Hi Allyson! Please do come see us - I'm sure we'll be easy to spot!

And I don't plan outfits, either - I pack enough, and make a list before packing, but it's not "this on this particular day."

Me neither, excepting any "dress up" events. I try to have an idea which shorts/T-shirt combos go together, but decide which I'll wear on each day. I came back yesterday with 3 un-worn outfits.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Plans, they are a-changin...

Maybe.

Sorta.

I don't want to give away too much, since I've got a TR to update with this info., but this past weekend may have forever (or at least until next summer, whichever comes first) altered my WDW vacation schemes.

Based on some revelations uncovered for me over the past few days, I may - may - change my August plans a bit to include more park time. That's right - MORE park time.



I'm still contemplating, so stay tuned....

Gotta keep those options open

I'll take the intervention, but no one came up with things for me to plan!

I did have a thought, though.

I have us at MK for the two half days of the flights, then one full. I have DHS as a half day AFTER the TL deal.

Would it be better, since I'm only giving it a half day, to make it a morning/rope drop and flop it with the MK day that I'm leaving? Our flight's not until something like 7:00, so we shouldn't have to show for ME until 4:00 or so, right? Or is it 3:00? Either way, plenty of time. But that means that the one and only DHS day is the last day we're there.

Since Mo ditiched us there is room at breakfast (8:05am) with Ce and I at Crystal Palace on the 24th if you and Leo are interested!

You have to be at ME 3 hours before flight time.

Refresh my memory, what are your days again. I am too lazy to go back to page one and look

Anyway, if were me I would probably do MK on the last day (like we always do). We also only do DHS in 1 day (Usually a 1/2 day, only becasue there is not enough there for Jimmy to do. None if this is helping...is it...I've confused myself

Welcome, just make sure T has all your inof, she has a bailbondsman in the family that we are all calling when we get thrown in Mickey's Jail

I feel oddly that I am not needing to plan. (Someone pick T up off the floor, will you?)

That is grounds for losing your Focker membership!

CE! What are you trying to do to me??

Um exsqueeze me, who forgot her ziploc bags!!!!!

OMG at last someone who thinks like me Shhhhh don't tell T

Woo HOO

Another Woo HOo

Hve you called since they do the voice activate now, no more pushing buttons!

Me neither, excepting any "dress up" events. I try to have an idea which shorts/T-shirt combos go together, but decide which I'll wear on each day. I came back yesterday with 3 un-worn outfits.

Where were the dumbells?

Since Mo ditiched us

We'd love to have you!

You have to be at ME 3 hours before flight time.

That's what I thought.

Refresh my memory, what are your days again. I am too lazy to go back to page one and look

We arrive before noon 8/20 and leave late in the evening 8/25. I had arrival and departure days at MK, plus the 24th. AK for the 21st, TL/DHS for the 22nd, Epcot of course for the meet.

Anyway, if were me I would probably do MK on the last day (like we always do).

See, that's what I was thinking, end on our favorite, but then I'm not sure we'll love our half day DHS at night. I wouldn't be worried at all as mostly they want to do Star Tours, which shouldn't be an issue, but they've heard now about Toy Story Mania...

None if this is helping...is it...I've confused myself

It's OK. I can check some crowd levels, too, and make sure we're not fooling with EMH's. I subbed to the non-official place.

It would mean giving up my Sci-Fi ADR, but that doesn't bother me one iota. If we went to MK in that evening instead, maybe I COULD work out eating somewhere in the Poly... If there's anything to be had.

I called yesterday and still had to push buttons
