When are you Going? Post Your Dates and Find A Match!!! Things to do! Peeps to Meet!

[SlightlyGoofy]

Howdy there J&J!!!

The only thing better than a Disney lover is an experienced Disney Lover.

I have not gotten close to finalizing my plans as yet, too much going on, but if we are there at the same time I would enjoy meeting you and exchanging info on some of the lesser known pleasures of the place.

PennConn, congratulations on saving the cash! That is over 60 Mickey Bars that you can buy! Sure hope you have a long stay planned! SG/Linda

Actually I'm putting all the money I saved on this trip between finding a roommate and Free Disney Dining towards a trip to Hawaii with Adrian next year

 

[SlightlyGoofy]

PennConn, well we all have different priorities ya know?

Sounds as if you have some good ones too.

PennConn,
you should wait till the new disney resort opens in oahu to go to hawaii. It's scheduled for 2011. My wife passed on Hawaii this year in favor of WDW. I know of alot of great deals for Waikiki, let me know if you want assistance.

Magically Yours,
Earl

 

[HRCCrazy]

I will be there solo Sept 13 to 21, All Star Sports.
16 trip to WDW 1st Solo.

 

[SlightlyGoofy]

HRCCrazy, I usually stay at the Sports and this is probably my 16th or more trip and first as a solo.

Hope to see you in September!

my brother lives in hawaii and i returned from a trip there two weeks ago.
i visit with him frequently but always get my own place when i am there.
i can come and go better that way.

there are so many great accomodations in ohau, i can't imagine disney beating any of them. i read about that but if there isn't a theme park attached, i'd stay some place else.

hilton village is superb

DH and I will be at Pop Sept 5th to the 14th.

Great! Glad she was able to make it. When I made the ADRs I didn't know whether to include her or not, so I didn't. Sorry! The only place we are short is on 9/10 at Cape May. We are one chair short. I just called and couldn't add her. The CM said that if we just showed up with one more person we'd probably be OK. As it is they have us at two tables, because they don't have tables for eight. Again the CM seemed to think they just put two tables together so we could all sit together, so adding one more shouldn't be a problem.

So far we have:

9/7 6:20pm Le Cellier: Klofan (+1), Wirki (+1), Rich, Adrian, Jamie, Kat, Aubriee (+2) (1 extra seat) Wirki has an ADR at 6:20pm for eight and I was able to get an ADR at 6:35pm for four. The CM said that if we all show up early for the 6:20pm ADR and tell them we are together they should be able to put tables together, so we can all sit together.

9/8 6:30pm Boma: Klofan (+1), Ants, Kat, Nancy, Aubriee (+2) (full)

9/9 8:10am Crystal Palace: Klofan (+1), Ants, Rich, Adrian, Kat, Nancy, Aubriee (+2) (2 extra seats)

9/9 7:30pm 1900 Park Fare: Klofan (+1), Ants, Rich, Adrian, Kat, Aubriee (+2) (one extra seat)

9/10 7:25pm Cape May: Rich, Adrian, Kat, Ants, Aubriee (+2), Klofan (+1) we have one extra person, but I think we'll be OK.

9/11 12N Biergarten: Rich, Adrian, Kat, Aubriee(+2) (full)

9/13 12:30pm Whispering Canyon: Aubriee (+2), Nancy (full)

Hi Slightly Goofy,
Hope to see you there, will have my Green Mickey ears on the window of my room, and may do a door sign also so keep an eye for it/them.

As I never stay there before, only stay at Muisc once for 3 days, where/what should I ask for? to make this the best trip.

 

[SlightlyGoofy]

HRCCrazy, I always request, and usually get, a first floor near the bus stop, view and noise no matter but your mileage may vary. I have heard that the upper floors are quieter. There is really no real view to be had unless you have kids who want to be near the pool and or football field. I have never found it necessary to book or pay for an preferred room. I am mostly deaf so noise is not a problem for me. Location is though. My favorite room has a lovely view of the trash containers but it is also a few steps from the food court, parking lot and bus stop.

Just smile and be nice to the CM's and they will be nice to you.

You will enjoy the fact that Sports is the first to be picked up by the buses and the first let off, usually, so you will not be standing or waiting nearly as long as the other AS resorts.

Have a great time and my door will be decorated also but over at POP. Might I ask how you did your LGM with your info? My hands get tired writing out all my info on mine.

Thanks, Slightly Goofy

Would it be possible for me to join you all on your ADR on 9/7 & 9/9? My sister and I had plans stay at Pop from 9/7-9/13, but she just told me on Friday that she can't go anymore. So now I'm left to go on my first solo trip. I thought about cancelling the trip completely, but I haven't gone since 2000 and I really would like to go. I guess I'm just worried I'll regret it when I'm there. Hopefully someone out there will have some words of encouragement or tips for a solo first timer.

Welcome Mari! Don't you dare cancel that solo trip. I did my first solo trip just a couple of years ago. I had never been anywhere by myself before and my family swore I'd never do it. Boy, were they surprised when I got on that airplane. I was sooo nervous, but found out so much about myself that trip. I had an absolute ball. You can do exactly what you want, when you want. You get to use the single rider lines and you'll be surprised at just how much you can get done when you're on your own. If you want to spend a day just looking for Hidden Mickey's or just taking the time to enjoy the small details of WDW, you can. On my very first day solo, I went to MK, got a hot dog from Casey's, sat outside listening to the piano player, and just gazed at the castle for awhile and people watched.. There was nobody to rush me. At that moment, I knew I was going to be OK. I am naturally shy, but when you are on your own, more people have a tendency to talk to you and you get to meet some really nice people. Sign up for backstage tours. There are always solos posting on this board. Meet up with some for a meet or for a meal, if you want. On a solo trip you get to decide how much you want to be alone and how much you want to hang out with others. I'm going to be with my husband and my mom in Sept, and know we will have a blast. However, May 3rd-10th I'll be down there solo and that's MY TIME. I can't wait! Anyway, my long winded point is to make that leap, go on your first solo trip. Believe me, they are addicting! It won't be your last.

 

[aubriee]

Oops! Mari, I forgot the reason for my original post. You are more than welcome to join us for the meals you mentioned. I've put you down for Le Cellier. On Sept 9th did you want me to put you down for both breakfast at Crystal Palace and dinner at 1900 Park Fare? If so, Le Cellier and 1900 Park Fare will be full and we'll have one more seat at Crystal Palace.

By the way, from what I can tell, we are all different ages (19 y/o-74 y/o) and are from different parts of the country, so we should be a fun diverse group. The only ones I know are Rich (PennConn) and Kat, that I met this past December (and Glendamax will be down there at the same time, so I'm sure we'll run into her somewhere.) She's great and so funny!

 

[FozzieFan]

I'm going on my first solo trip 9/2-9/6, Free Dining at POP!

I was originally going to try and find one of my friends from college to go with me, but the more I think about it, the more excited I am about being able to enjoy WDW at my pace!
