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

So Kelly and I are swimming with Dolphins (and someone else is paying)

I have to re-do the whole plan, but who cares!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's so cool!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I had a fairly successful ADR change this morning.

I ditched the Sci Fi ADR after TL and booked Raglan Road instead. If we're not up for a park, we can just wander DTD - but if we are, we can go anywhere. I tried for Ohana, but it was totally booked. I could get Kona, but either too early or too late.

So now I have my DHS day for departure day, no ADR there. We liked Pizza Planet last time, and that day will be OOP anyway, as it's our 6th ticket day, but we have only 5 nights on the DDP.

Ladies, when you make your LGMH do you use the Alien Green chip or the Sonic Boom. I have read that AG is the official color but I really like the SB.

I use AG but also other colors too...I have one on my bag that is AG on one side and purple on the other.

OMG!!!!!!!!! MAJOR UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My SIL calls me this morning and tells me Kelly wants to go swimming with Dolphins, well I'm like you have to book Discovery Months in advance but let me see. I see that 8/28 is open so I call SIL back and we talk and she says she wil pay for both of us (this will be my b-day present). Well in the time we are talking someone books.

I call and they say no wait list but keep trying as there are spots that constantly open. I kept trying all morning and guess what I got 2 spots for the 28th (I guess whoever took them that morning changed their mind).

That sounds so awesome!!!!!

SO the officially official first draft of the spreadsheet has gone out...i hope i got to everyone but im pretty sure i missed someone so fwd it to whomever is needed! I'll stll make changes and send another copy out early next week.

 

[DisneyJo]

but I do love the new Bugga Boos, although I can't imagine spending the in 600-800 range for a stroller. I just wanna try one, that's all.

My sister has a bugga boo and it is very easy to push but you're right way to expensive!

OK

I should be arriving at POR about now, well in 1 weeks time



I was looking at Disney Shopping and saw a pin bag that Ellie wants and you can get it personalised, do you think they'd ship to POR?

Also anyone know how much the started pin sets are? Yeah I haven't gotten round to buying any more trader pins

 

[sharkB8HooHaHa]

Well, with the foot crisis averted, I'm back to planning.

I was thinking about how long we've been at this planning thing...seems like such a short time ago T started 86'd, but at the time we had hundreds of days ahead of us. I really can't wait to meet you all, and see V and Leo again.

And Mo, my sister did Discovery Cove last year. They had a wonderful time. But stay away from Nate...he's the bad dolphin at the party.

 

[puggymom]

You will love it! It's amazing. FYI, the earlier you arrive, the earlier your swim time is.

See I'm so torn, last time I went (2004) that's what I did and then was kinda jealous of those that went later. But then if you go later you have to worry about the time (and if you miss your time you are SOL). Gotta think hard about this.

I should be arriving at POR about now, well in 1 weeks time

OMG it's almost here

I was looking at Disney Shopping and saw a pin bag that Ellie wants and you can get it personalised, do you think they'd ship to POR?

If not you can have it shipped here and I could bring it along with me!

Sometimes bad is more fun

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

Hey T? It's GOOD to have you around here again!

Hey V? It's good to be back!

SO the officially official first draft of the spreadsheet has gone out...i hope i got to everyone but im pretty sure i missed someone so fwd it to whomever is needed! I'll stll make changes and send another copy out early next week.

Hey Kat, you & KC did a fantastic job. Thank you!

I should be arriving at POR about now, well in 1 weeks time

Wow! Time sure has flown by. Nope. Scratch that ... what I meant to say is "IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!"

I was looking at Disney Shopping and saw a pin bag that Ellie wants and you can get it personalised, do you think they'd ship to POR?

I was gonna say send it here, but Mo beat me to it.

Well, with the foot crisis averted, I'm back to planning.

Ditto, my friend!

Wooohooo!!!!! Wait are you swimming with the Dolphins @ Discovery Cove or Epcot? Still Wooohoooo!!!!

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

Kat thanks for the Spreadsheet! It's so cool to see the possible Focker Stalking.

 

[dreamn_Disney]

Kat thanks for the spreadsheet and sorry I have already emailed you changes. I think I must have mailed an old itinerary to you since you have me only in one park a day. I have added the hopper and will be in different parks for each part of the day. I take a pool break each afternoon and then go to a different park after that.

 

[PrincessV]

I was looking at Disney Shopping and saw a pin bag that Ellie wants and you can get it personalised, do you think they'd ship to POR?

I should think so, but if not you're welcome to ship it to me and I'll get it to you. I think I may be one of the last to leave home, no?

Me too Kate! I was thinking the same thing last night... I can't believe it's actually been a year since the last FockerFest! Speaking of... see below.

Kat thanks for the Spreadsheet! It's so cool to see the possible Focker Stalking.

Ditto! Okay, I haven't actually opened it yet, but thanks in advance for doing it Kat!



I've been thinking about making an online photo album of our FockerFest meets. I would do it on flickr.com and can either make it public, in which case anyone can see it (advantage: you can share it with friends by sending a link, disadvantage: anyone else can see it, too) or I can make it Friends & Family only, in which case only those listed can see it (advantage: some amount of privacy, disadvantage: I'd need an email address for each person who wants access.)

What do you guys think? Any interest? If yes, preference on keeping it public or Friends & Family? Let me know!

7 Fuzzy Days till I leave for WDW!!!!!

 

[Muffinygood]

V, I love the idea! Count me in...in whatever form you decide on.

I can't open the spreadsheet! ARGH. I don't have Excel on my computer but I do have an excel viewer. But, when I try to open kat's file it says that it doesn't recognize the file type.

Someone PLEASE help me! Kat suggested a program to open it but my virus protection doesn't like it.

Seriously, A million funnel cakes to the person who can get it opened!

IM me your email and I will put it in an older excel format that your viewer may let you open. If that doesn't work I can cut and past it into a word document for you.

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

Mel, I had the same problem, my Excel program didn't want to open it for some reason. I haven't had the time yet to fiddle around with it and figure it out. If I do I'll let you know.

 

[dreamn_Disney]

V- That is a great idea and I do not care which form you use. I would think that public would be a lot easier and I think there is little danger in this.

 

[sharkB8HooHaHa]

I was able to open it by opening the email in Outlook first, then opening the spreadsheet in Excel.

HTH.

Let me know too Lessa. Thanks!

I know! I on the other hand, can't believe it's only been a year - seems like we've all been friends for years.

I've been thinking about making an online photo album of our FockerFest meets. I would do it on flickr.com and can either make it public, in which case anyone can see it (advantage: you can share it with friends by sending a link, disadvantage: anyone else can see it, too) or I can make it Friends & Family only, in which case only those listed can see it (advantage: some amount of privacy, disadvantage: I'd need an email address for each person who wants access.)

I think this is a great idea, V! I would prefer it to be public, so I can add it to my siggie line. I think alot of DISers would love to be able to see it.

7 Fuzzy Days till I leave for WDW!!!!!

My fuzzy count.....

6 MORE DAYS!!!!!​

 

[Muffinygood]

Margie: I will PM you right away.

Kate: Thx, but I don't use Outlook. I HATE OUTLOOK.

I'm gonna try Margie's way.....I'll let you know!
