The Grand Limey Gathering - 26 April

[newholidayx2]

thanks and yes Jungle Cruise does make sense. Those boats can fit alot more of us than a 2-4 person seat.

Another question though - have we decided we'll do Standby? Therefore anyone who'll be there for EMH can grab a different ride fastpass?

20 more days for me - getting excited here! good thing I have my friends at the gym to bounce my excitement off of - Last night those poor ppl had me singing and dancing to Off Kilter! lol

Most think that JC opens @ 10, so after a few pics and a short walk there, we'd actually arrive ~10 minutes before opening. With that we figured we'd just queue up and save a FP for another ride.

Our plan for the am is to be there for the rope drop, head directly to Space Mountain for a ride and a FP, then maybe something yummy at the Main St. Bakery (if we have time), then off to the Dis Meet.

We're actually talking packing strategy, so it must be close. This is going to be so cool. A week alone, just me & the Mrs.

We have been talking packing strategy too, in fact hubby is gonna get the suitcases out today. I am gonna wash all the kids shorts and stuff this weekend, they have been up in the attic all winter ( the shorts and stuff, not the kids ). Now that tomorrow is April it really seems real now.

 

[newholidayx2]

yup its definately getting real now - time to at least go through the Disney boxes and start repacking that stuff! Time to think about what Im wearing when. Easter wknd I want to get alot of the packing done cos the wknd before Im planning on spending the time w/DS14 as he's staying home w/dad (both by choice). Just me, myself and I this trip and looking forward to it.

I keep telling hubby and the kids that one day I am going to Disney by myself. I think it would be a different but still fun experience. Enjoy!!!

I won't be able to join you guys.......we'll be getting in a few days after you all! But I wanted to say have fun and post pictures!!!!!

 

[*MickeyFan*]

Will do! I don't think any of us have a TR started. I really don't plan on doing one.. maybe one day, I much rather read them But I think once we get back we could post a few pictures on here of the meet. That would be fun! I am sure we will have some on the croc exchange thread as well jen

 

[newholidayx2]

Well yesterday I washed all the shorts and tshirts that were up in the attic. Today I folded them and packed the shorts only. Kids are wearing the tshirts as we have been having pretty mild weather. I also packed up all the extra shoes and bathing suits, but now I am sad I have nothing left to pack until the day before. But hey only 21 days til we travel so can't be too sad right?

Hi...someone asked how old the kids were...mine are below...2.5 and 4.5...


ZDad...we may be doing the Space Mountain sprint together at 8...depends on whether my DD makes the last 1/8 of growth needed to ride.

PS....cute WVa joke...my family resembles that remark

Sorry...I didn't get to the summary list yet. Need to do that tonight or tomorrow.

Make sure your DD wears shoes with thick soles! She'll make it !!

Sorry about the WVa joke. I went to Va Tech and I seem to be genetically inclined to tell WVa jokes.

You guys are meeting one day too early! We'll be at the airport, checking in to our flight at 9am on April 26. I wish I could be there. I'll be on the look out for the lime green once I get there! Sounds like there will be a lot of DISers at Disney World the end of April.

Got my documents, got my documents!!!!!!

 

[zdad]

Got my documents, got my documents!!!!!!

[Kies99]

Whew....Sorry I'm late. Been looking all over for this thread and then finally got smart and e-mailed Zdad (thank you for pointing me here)!

I'm here now, let the fun begin.

By the way, my girls are 5 (thinks she's 15) and 3 (thinks she's her big sister).

Hey guys!! I am getting super excited!! I have been packing the park bag, getting things written down that I need for the trip yet, and getting DH to make us some matching shirts poor guy! He said he would wear it though This is what I will look like from the back

I think we will wear our personalized shirts our first day in the parks the 25th at MGM

Just had to share! Are we making up lgmhpc's to give out? Just curious jen

 

[Delnjudy]

Jen,
If you are not spotted it will be because the world has gone color blind and lost the ability to read. Those are absolutely ti-double-gerific. Can't wait to meet you all.

 

[newholidayx2]

ya I think you'll have no problem being spotted! wow!

 

[ProudMomTo3Boys]

Wow Jen, those shirts are great. I could never in a million years get my husband to wear one . He looked at the LGMH I put on the backpack that we will be bringing in the parks and just gave the me the rolling of the eyes. It's really getting close now!!!
