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

[stacielee]

Cristabel--I'm so glad your grandpa came out of surgery ok!

Good morning ladies! I leave tomorrow, I leave tomorrow!!!!!!!

Awesome!! Have fun Wednesday night, wish I could be there.

And yes, CRAP! for the weather. I was hoping to get away from the heat for a few days but I guess that's not going to happen.

Okay, here's my first attempt at doing the tie dye, I don't think they came out too bad, but could use more yellow and orange:

Hi Everyone,

I know how grateful you are your grandfather is better, prayers answered!

Is everyone all packed? I'm getting there. If only I had a monkey butler to help me.

What are three things everyone is looking forward to on this trip?
Here's mine..
1. Spending time with my friends who live oh so far away.
2. Watching my mom's face when she see's all the fall decorations around the park!
3. Having a quiet moment at the happy chatter of the birthday party to look at the smiles on everyone's faces.

They look great!

 

[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!

To clarify my own post...
I should have said "cash, disney dollars or gift cards". I just don't think they will put partial payments on credit or debit cards.

Thanks everyone! Three more days

Cristabel - that is great news about your grandfather!!

Stacie - those are really cute! You'll have to tell me how you did them (why, I'm not sure because I doubt I could actually manage it on my own without supervision )..... But they are really cute!

.... and you're bringing the Aquafina, yes??? I'm gonna need LOTS of water

And Dawn:

1. I'm so looking forward to the opportunity for a long weekend with my son, just having fun, no worries - hopefully no teen attitude
2. I'm excited to see everyone again. It's been so long!
3. Sharing some Magicale (or whatever) with the girlies and maybe chilling at the Napa Lounge.

Seriously, I am ready for this weekend to get here

 

[fairykin]

Thank You Linda for reminding us all to bring cash, disney dollars or giftcards for the meals.. i need to go by the bank this afternoon.

Oohhh and don't forget to bring your pins if you are into trading!

It's going to be fun to see all the different types of mickey head tye dye shirts on the feb/mar trip

Tina..travel safe and have fun, you work so hard, you've earned it!

Theresa... it's so hard when your child turns into a teenager.. it's like.. who are you and what have you done with my child! Oooohhh Magicale... now that's list worthy! I'm looking forward to relaxing in the lounge.. You know the Grand Californian lounge has yummy ribs.. CheryL and I had some last month. My boyfriend also thought the cheese plate was tasty.

 

[stacielee]

.... and you're bringing the Aquafina, yes??? I'm gonna need LOTS of water

Does it have to be Aquafina? I have a case of Nestle Pure Life, is that okay?

And 2 bottles of wine, and some Pomegranate Lemonade, right? Anything else??

 

[toocherie]

Dawn is coveting those ribs!

Cristabel--glad Grandpa is doing well.

Tina--just PMd you.

Melody--will PM you in a sec.

And yes, girls--unfortunately the local weatherman are predicting a HOT weekend (how could it not be, with all the Divas we're going to have in town) so be prepared. However, even though it gets hot in the daytime, it does cool down in the evening so be sure to bring a light jacket or other coverup (plus air conditioning can be cold).

I am trying to do my double-packing job and work--but I don't wanna (work, that is).

Talk to you all later.

 

[fairykin]

CheryL...they are soooo Yummy! I am going to have some for sure on this trip! I wish I was there to help you with the packing.

 

[Queenbillabong]

I know - that's why I love the times we can play together! I have the BEST picture of him from last year (when the aliens first took over my child ) at Disneyland. He's on the Teacups (my fave!!) and he actually has Mickey ears on and is just laughing, having so much fun...... I don't see that quite so often right now, so I love the picture (I had it put onto a mug so I can remind myself that my child is still there, someone )

..... and Magicale is list-worthy I've never actually been to the Lounge, even when we stayed there last time - but I plan on it this time

Whatever water is awesome I think we're good - partay room ...... with two teens

It is SO hard to concentrate on work right now It's like once I know it's vacation time this week, my brain does not want to do anything else - we're ready to GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I'm mostly packed now. Jesse is not, so I'm about to go dig up all his Mickey shirts and pack for him Maybe he'll listen next time - either that or he'll walk around with no shirt...... I'm not making any guarantees!

 

[cheshiregirl]

I am also stuck at work when there are so many other things that need to be done in order to be ready to leave on Thursday morning. Do you think anyone would notice if I just left ?

Hope that everyone is having a happy day!!!

 

[kelmac284]

Yeah I am glad we finally decided on times! 7 is much better for us too! That way we should have PLENTY of time to finish our dinner and get dressed and make down to you all! Oh I can't wait to see everyone! We will be at DL during the day on Friday if anyone sees us. The girls and I will be wearing halloween stuff so if you see us DEF stop us and say HI and if you want to hang with us you are more than welcome!!

I am SO excited to see everyone soon and to just GET there!!! This is going to be so fun! See everyone soon!

 

[disney-inspired]

Oohhh and don't forget to bring your pins if you are into trading!

Thanks for reminding me. I need to buy a new lanyard so all my pins are in a bag.

good point Cheryl...and me too, double packing sucks but you gotta do it when the weather changes at different times during the day

 

[disneegrl4eva]

gah today is my busiest day of the whole week...been up since 6:30 and went out in the freezing cold to the pumpkin patch with my boys preschool and now Im getting ready to go buy the water and snacks and finish up "lifes" errands needed to be done before trip...tomorrow is clean house day so I wont come back to a dusty unvacuumed one and then thursday we leave

 

[wendylady36]

I'm not prepared at all for this trip, someone please come help me!!!! So tired.

 

[toocherie]

that is sooooo cute

actually Lynn--I'm also packing for a Florida trip the week after the DL trip!

 

[MamaKate]

Everyone should pack layers because it will get chilly at night. When I was there on Sunday it was about 90 degrees in the afternoon, but around 6:00 it got very breezy and cool & once the sun went down it was really cold (well for me it was really cold).

I have the BEST picture of him from last year (when the aliens first took over my child ) at Disneyland. He's on the Teacups (my fave!!) and he actually has Mickey ears on and is just laughing, having so much fun...... I don't see that quite so often right now, so I love the picture (I had it put onto a mug so I can remind myself that my child is still there, someone

I know what you mean. But they will still have those moments in Disneyland, just not with you . My kids have a blast as long as they are with a friend and not me.

 

[DangerMouse]

actually Lynn--I'm also packing for a Florida trip the week after the DL trip!

My heart bleeds for you, Cheryl!


To everyone else who is too excited to sleep (or pack, it seems!), I hope you all have an awesome trip and enjoy the HalloweenTime at the parks! Can't wait to read the trip reports and see photos of all the meets!

 

[BillyFan]

Awesome!! Have fun Wednesday night, wish I could be there.

I am home from work, and am almost done packing.

And here's my top 3:

1. Being in the parks with my hubby for the first time in since last November.
2. Seeing my boyfriend and Wally Boag!!! Two Golden Horseshoe all-stars!
3. Visiting with friends old and new.

Does it have to be Aquafina? I have a case of Nestle Pure Life, is that okay?

OK, I'm going to be on the lookout for this party room!

I'm not prepared at all for this trip, someone please come help me!!!! So tired.

Hop to it, lady!
