TFW Meet 2008 The Mission: Wiener Salad & Margaritas - Trip Report Links on Page 1

[PrincessV]

Don't worry though, we'll be sure to give you the 50 Wiener Salute!

50?!?! And I thought 21 Lapus was tough!

Ooh... I get the chills when you mention that word.... say it again! LAMINATE!! Oohhh!! Heh heh heh!

___________________________________________________

GUESS WHO'S HERE AT WORK WITH ME?!

Flat Michelle is indeed in Florida! I'll try to snap a pic later, but wanted to let you all know she's here, safe & sound.


Meanwhile, thanks to my added night and the stinkin' economy, my plans have changed a little since my last update...

NEW ADDITIONS: You know I added a night at POR. Which enables us to enjoy the MK at the crack of stupid for EMH the next day. I've been jonsing for a meal at Tangierine Café for a while... now I have a window of opportunity! Get out of MK around 10:30-11 and head over to EP for some lunch before pool time at SSR.

SO SAD TO SEE YOU GO: In an effort to save some dollars, I'll soon be canceling ADRs at Turf Club and Narcoosees. We've been doing less and less TS meals and have been perfectly happy with that. I'm also planning to bring quite a bit of food with me this time I'll dish - hee hee, get it? dish?! - more on that subject soon in my TR, but suffice it to say we'll be eating more meals than ever in our room.


Oh. And I spent last evening arranging a little surprise for ya'll at FockerFest. Don't worry, it really is little, but I think it'll be fun!

 

[MomofCKJ]

BUt you will be girlfriend







Allyson maybe??? I don't think Tanya has her tickets until hte next day

Awww, thanks for thinking of me! I have a dinner at Cape May that night though. Meeting an online friend I've had for 9 years (we are in the same Moms group) for the first time in person! I am coming back to Epcot after dinner for Illuminations and will be looking for your "little" gathering though!

QUESTIONS and THOUGHTS...

1. Re: Wienerthon - did we ever decide what to do about meeting up before-hand? I know I'd like to meet some of you before we sit to dinner, if possible, since with a 6yo, I won't be able to do a LOT of running around over dinner. There's also the question of where to meet up - the area right outside Biergarten gets REALLY congested at meal times. Maybe by the fountain? Or by the lake? Any thoughts?

2. For my fellow 8/22 Typhoon Lagoon Meeters - I think we agreed on a plan of attack, but want to confirm/reiterate/etc. DO I have my list of attendees correct still?

I know! BUT... I wasn't the first.

Woohoo! I can't wait for my Flat Jen! Somehow I think the Flats are going to be WAAAAY more fun than those darn Crocs.

Little, yet fun ..... V's gonna buy us all shots of Patron!!! Am I right?

Rule breaker.

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

So in an effort to get rid of some of my chub rub - I've cut out all sugar and carbs from my diet. I am pleased to annouce I'm down 5 pounds AND....

MY VACATION SHORTS FIT!!!! ​

some better than others, but I've got 4 ish weeks to rectify that!!

 

[PrincessV]

LOL, that's for sure!

Okay, I should have added "cheap" to the "little" and "fun" descriptive words.

Nicely done, T.

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

So the DISease has struck. DH started it. We're looking to spend Wednesday night in Jacksonville so we can have a full day on Thursday. It's a two hour drive from Jax, so we could be there by rope drop if we try real hard

I can so understand the need for Tangerine Cafe! LOVE that place! I can also dig you on the more CS options, I'm finding more and more each time that the options are a lot better than I had always thought. I am also doing breakfasty type stuff in the room, saves money and time waiting at a food court.

I say we all meet up maybe an hour before the meet around the general area of germany... how does that sound? I like the idea of meeting up before too, esp because not everyone will be staying around for drinks and fireworks.

 

[Muffinygood]

Hey Guys!
Ok, I'm in for the Weiners and early...let me know where you wanna meet. I think the area in front of the American pavillion (two pavillions over from Germany) is LARGE and has alot of those raised flower beds that double as seating! That works for me....oh and it's directly between the two landings for the friendships docks for those of us who are using that!

I agree about Germany getting congested, especially by the trains. Do we know if there are nay shows planned at the stage at the American Pavillion? That is a pretty wide open space there?

We will have to figure out a meeting place for you to catch up to us

Woohoo! I can't wait for my Flat Jen! Somehow I think the Flats are going to be WAAAAY more fun than those darn Crocs.

Flat Dawn has been good the last couple of days, but she is ready for the trip

So what did you decide
=======================================================

Whatever time and whatever place eeryone wants to meet before hand is fine with me. My goal for the day is to be at EPCOT at rope drop, head out at lunch time for a break and then return around 3:30 - 4:00.

 

[DisneyJo]

Ooh... I get the chills when you mention that word.... say it again! LAMINATE!! Oohhh!! Heh heh heh!

BUT today my real stuff came! Complete with vouchers and luggage tags!! OMG, it's getting so close!! I can't WAIT!

Yeah

So have we finalised 3.30pm at a station? Which one?

That's awesome.

I am scared, because I usually manage to gain weight whilst at our moms' houses. Lack of regular exercise and a lot of eating big meals... I lost weight at WDW last year, then a month later had it back from being in IL.

I'm definitely in on the TL meet.

And I'm up for whatever for Wienerfest. We'll be in the park all day, and if D & the kids want to do an extra ride or whatever, I can wander over early on my own.

Heh heh... I love this disease! Hey if I could find a room for the 19th, then I'd fly out a day early as well!

That's a fantastic idea, Mel! Why don't we say we'll all meet up around 4ish and hang out there until 4:45 and then meander over to Biergarten around 4:45 to get our Weenie on?

Whatever time and whatever place eeryone wants to meet before hand is fine with me. My goal for the day is to be at EPCOT at rope drop, head out at lunch time for a break and then return around 3:30 - 4:00.

I had planned to enter the park around that time too, Janet.

ToonTown, I thought?

You lost weight in WDW?? You're kidding, right? I gained like 6 pounds there. Too much sugar and waaaaay to many carbs for me. Even with all the walking!

 

[cmp1111]

Yep. My downfall is snacking, and since we tended to use the DDP "snacks" as water, and I didn't have an open box of Cheezits sitting around, I did well. I also tend to order things out healthier than what I make - more fish and stuff, less red meat.

FABulous idea!

I can also dig you on the more CS options, I'm finding more and more each time that the options are a lot better than I had always thought. I am also doing breakfasty type stuff in the room, saves money and time waiting at a food court.

And I'm considering taking it a step further... assuming space available in my cooler, I might bring some containers of reheatable stuff for lunches/dinners (mac & cheese, salad, etc.)

Do we know if there are nay shows planned at the stage at the American Pavillion? That is a pretty wide open space there?

I think so, but the space between the building and the theater is usually pretty clear - around that big fountain.

I thought we said no pressies

Talk to Z and Janet - THEY started it! LY guys, MI!

I know, and I promise what I'm bringing hadly counts as a present - it really is small.

I'm definitely in on the TL meet.

Yay!

Jo, I missed quoting you - but I'll PM you guys and talk about meeting spots and visual cues as to our whereabouts!

Cancel Narcoosees? Oh no.

Yep. Has to be done, I'm afraid.

That's a fantastic idea, Mel! Why don't we say we'll all meet up around 4ish and hang out there until 4:45 and then meander over to Biergarten around 4:45 to get our Weenie on?

Sounds perfect!

You lost weight in WDW?? You're kidding, right? I gained like 6 pounds there.

I'm STILL trying to lose the 4lbs gained during one day at F&W Fest last year!


____________________________________________

Anyone need a reason to spend more money on this trip?! Look what I found whilst shopping for a new suitcase (which I need for other trips, not WDW.

I like it! Sorta like Ziplocs, but easy to access, airier and less likely to cause wrinkles!

Here's a link to all of them: Packing Cubes

 

[DisneyJo]

You lost weight in WDW?? You're kidding, right? I gained like 6 pounds there. Too much sugar and waaaaay to many carbs for me. Even with all the walking!

I lost 7 pounds last August Even with all those desserts and make your own crispy treats

Anyone need a reason to spend more money on this trip?! Look what I found whilst shopping for a new suitcase (which I need for other trips, not WDW.

They look pretty good, especially if you are packing 1 case for several destinations



I'll PM Kat final details of the MK meet, all are welcome

 

[jcc0621]

So have we finalised 3.30pm at a station? Which one?

Just tell me where and AIS time

I had planned to enter the park around that time too, Janet.

And I'm considering taking it a step further... assuming space available in my cooler, I might bring some containers of reheatable stuff for lunches/dinners (mac & cheese, salad, etc.)

If I had access to a kitchen I would do this

Talk to Z and Janet - THEY started it! LY guys, MI!

I DID NOT....Jimmy did. He wanted to get a little something for all his new friends Seriously, it just a little something that I got for the kids, and for those who don't have kids!

Jo, I missed quoting you - but I'll PM you guys and talk about meeting spots and visual cues as to our whereabouts!

I think you should get a LIME green scarf, put it on a stick and carry it around like the Brazillian tour groups
