*UPDATED* DISDivas & Family October Mini Meet *UPDATED* (3.0 Version!)

[tinkermell]

6:30 pm at the Plaza Inn is good for me.

For the group photo, I am thinking more like 7:00-7:15 as well. We got there right after 7:30 last time and only had to wait about 10 minutes to get in. Those who were early waited much longer. Of course, they got in first and had first dibs of what to hit! Anyway, count me as a vote for later.

Another vote for 7:00 to 7:15!!

I vote for 7 p.m. for the ToT party. You know Divas--we're all not going to get there on time. That will give us a little "fudge factor" time.

I agree on the "fudge factoring!!

As for the Plaza--6:30 sounds good to me. I am even afraid that may be too late as well--we saw people at 5:30 on Saturday camped out over by IASW!!! HOWEVER, ahem, I think i have to be in line for Fantasmic at 7, so probably won't make it over there until after that. And then need to leave by 8:30 to make it back over to the Fantasmic seating area.

That's OK!! I figured that this was going to happen. We can all take turns saving and grabbing spots.

Is anyone else bringing/wearing their Diva Tink t-shirt this weekend? Or the brown one from the first year?

I wouldn't mind wearing the Tink one. Saturday I as going to wear a black t-shirt that said Happy Halloween on it. That is my only plan so far. How about if we wear Tink on Sunday?

Hey all! I'm just stopping by quickly to say I hope you all have a wonderful time, and to thank you all for your well wishes and prayers.

I leave Thursday morning, and the surgery is Friday morning. Please continue to pray if you can.

Heather

Hi Heather! We'll all miss you and we'll be thinking of you while you are with your parents. Please keep us posted when you can.

Even though we're not going to the party, is it okay if Allyson and I come for the picture? We have "costume" t-shirts we wearing...

And the times sound good to me.

My Tink shirt is getting crinkly, you know what I mean? I have a lime green shirt I'll probably wear on Sunday, and a tie-dye shirt for Saturday if it works (it's in a plastic bag right now).

Here you go, Heather!

Ok, so 7:00 at the far left of the entrance to DCA on Friday and 6:30 at the Plaza Inn Sat. Cheryl, we can try to meet a few people at 6:30 and then like you said we have to hightail it to the F! seating line about 7-ish. I'm ok with not being the first in line, but would like front row. And actually nothing is going to bum me out this weekend cause it's going to be an awesome trip for all of us!

 

[lulubelle]

And just a reminder to all those attending Miss Sally's birthday party lunch and Wine County Trattoria lunch - PLEASE bring cash so when we pay it is easy. They subtotal each patron so we know exactly how much each person/group owes. Thanks and I can't wait to see everyone and meet new Disser's!

Big hugs and prayers for both Heather and Cristabel.:

Both 7 pm and 6:30 sound great to me, although I expect that Ty won't be able to sit still for 3 hours so we'll need to wander for a little bit between dinner and fireworks time if others are okay with that. And, I agree with Linda--this weekend is going to be great no matter what 'cause we are all going to be together!

I was wondering about that too..... The early group will be out of there before the fireworks start obviously - are you watching them from your F! seats and having dinner at the Plaza? The later group, if we stay at the Plaza Inn for the fireworks, how are we going to fight through the masses to go to our seats in time for the 10:30 p.m. show?? I know that walking WITH the crowd it took forever to get out of that area to Main Street. How bad is it going to be going AGAINST the crowd???

We're here!
We got in last night about 8pm and went straight to the parks. We stayed until midnight and got on quite a few rides. Fantasyland was dead so we walked on everything. Today was quite busy but we did as much as we could in the morning and got fastpasses(thanks to tips on DIS)
I saw my first Billy Hill show, which was great. I took my 4yr old on Space Mountain and he was pretty scared but held it together, I think. It's not like I could have heard/seen him crying
We left early tonight to get in the pool and hopefully get to bed early.
I can't wait to meet some of you when you're here!

 

[BillyFan]

Yay for your first Billy show! Thanks for the update, we'll see you soon!!!!

Can we use Disney gift cards?

We should be okay, we'll have at least 30 minutes, even more, to get over there. But we need to check in with the early group. I've been reading about in it another thread, have you?

The weather was not bad today, it was a little bit hot this afternoon.

We had our first celebrity sighting today! While we were in Mickey's House waiting get our picture taken, we were 2 people away from Christopher Rich who played Brock on Reba.

Thank you for reminding me! I would have felt like such a doofus if I didn't bring cash.

Psalm 69:30 "I will praise God's name in song and glorify Him in Thanksgiving"

My grandpa just came out of surgery and the doctor says he's doing great. They didn't put him fully under but did a "Twilight" so he comes in and out of consciousness. They say he should be fully coherent in 15-20 minutes. I'm so relieved and ever so blessed. I want to visit him soon but I just don't know when would be a good time.
