Hey I'm an inspiration, how cool is that!! :)

I'll be at Disney in November too--Disneyland Paris with my bestest friend of over 25 years, Elaine. My first trip to Europe, first we'll tour Paris for a couple of days and then 3 days at DLRP, woohoo! We're staying in the Disneyland Hotel, which is the only resort that is actually in a park. The front door of the resort lets you out into the Magic Kingdom.

This is actually a Birthday gift to me from Elaine (talk about a good friend!!), we will be in DLRP on my birthday, 11/18. Dinner in the California Grill in the DL Hotel that night. I am so excited, less than 3 weeks to go!

Hope all you November folks have wonderful trips! :dust

[cobbler]

I know, doesn't that sound exciting!! I have 26 days before I am there. And actually 22 before I leave for vaca. Spending Thanksgiving in Bama with hubby's family.

[Colorado Belle]

Alrighty then.
Got a bug up my beast to get some Xmas spirit and hit Mousefest.
No room at the inn, so I've had to resort to off site.
But got a great deal at Sky Auction ,so no complaints.

November 27-Dec4

WHoppee! :goodvibes

[Colorado Belle]

Ok...we have 3 families at OKW: jiggerj, chip and cobbler...not sure about kathyseb
we have two Athena and friend at SSR
we have ME at VVoffsite....

I think we need to do SOMETHING on the 27th or the 28th and I think it should involve a drink of some kind!!!!!

(Leaving it wide open for Startbucks coffee for breakfast or some PUNCH @ a pool, or a Dole Whip at MK....or a bottle of wine on someones balcony.

What do you think?

Sounds great to me!!!
I arrive the afternoon of the 27th and we really hadn't made plans, we figured since we're @ SSR that we'll go to DTD that night.
And we haven't even discussed what we're doing on Mon th 28th, so we're free.

[Colorado Belle]

I have a Keys to the Kingdom tour on Tues morning and I am going to try to move my DiveQuest tour from Sunday to Monday at 4:30. Other than that I haven't any plans eSUnday or Monday. (27th and 28th). I know Laura(jiggerj is celebrating her daughter's birthday at House of Blues on Sunday. Maybe we could all hook up before Wishes on Monday and head to Wishes together???(since there's MVMXP on both Sun and TUes nite so no Wishes? )

I'm assuming we all have APs and can come and go to the parks as we wish. We can't be sure about the weather (tho we can hope) re pool drinks, but if its sunny a mid day pool party could be fun.

not sure about Kathyseb, but jiggerji and chip have kids, so they aren't quite as fancy free as we single ladies!
I spoke with Simba's Mom on the Dis and she'd be up for something on one of these days too. Now we all have to just chime in on what!!!!

I wouldn't mind sharing a meal Sun or Monday BUT I guess with all the magic dining plans..it is hard now to get ressies on the spot.

So...anyone else want to weigh in on something exciting on Sun or Mon?

The Wishes idea is cool! Good thinking!
We could always go to one of the monorail hotels after for a drink?? If the weather isn't good enough for the pool.
I'm up for anything Sun or Mon.

Checked out your itinerary compared with mine and it looks like the only time we will be able to meet will be at the merry mixer. Cant wait to see you there! :) I am planning on making it to Spectro/Wishes the night of the 28th. Maybe you could join us for a good dvc forum cry! LOL :)

Hmmmmm...we'll don't give up, maybe something can be worked out, if not there is still the Merry Mixer!

[Colorado Belle]

Ok...I am in for sure...
The 28th Spectro and Wishes. THen we could take the monorail to one of the resorts, grab a drink and watch the Electrical Pageant (I vote for the Poly)

Shall we set a place to meet before Spectro?
And we all have each other's cells right?
I made my mousefest visor (colored letters on black) and my DVC visor (DVC on a coral visor) last night. I'll make sure to wear one or the other.

I think Simba's mom is also going to be at Epcot cobbler. ...If I get my divequest changed to Monday do you want to come over and watch me swim with the fishes?

Sounds perfect, and like a lot of fun. I'm in! I vote for the Poly, too. I think we should set a place to meet, otherwise if the place is mobbed, we'll have a heck of a time finding each other. In terms of the cell, you and I have each others. I don't have any one elses. Who else is in?
Oh cobbler, I wish you'd be w/us, but we'll hang out at the Merry Mixer!
I can't wait!!

I am in for the 28th! Suggestion on where to meet...maybe at the entrance to the Rose Garden? Athenna I will pm you my cell. CB has mine! I CANT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Me too, cobbler wish you would be with us! :)

Got your PM, wrote down your cell #. I replied w/mine, too.
I'm embarassed to admit this, since I thought I was an expert-but what Rose Garden? Do you mean the flowers planted in the shape of Mickey's head and ears at the entrance to the MK? That's a good place.

I was thinking maybe where you enter the bridge to Tomarrowland and then on your immediate left there is a little path into the rose garden. I LOVE this spot to watch Wishes. tink flies right over head, great view of the castle and your not smack right in the crowds watching on Main Street. Just an idea?

Oh,ok, gotcha! That makes sense. Cool with me!

[cobbler]

What time is that electrical parade? If its at a good time we can hop on the monorail over to the Poly after Illuminations. MUST see Illuminations.

If not I will certainly catch up with you guys at the Merry Mixer.

[Colorado Belle]

Hi Cobbler...
I'm going to PM you too so I can give you my cell.
MK closes at 8 spectro is at 7, wishes at 8...I think Jiggerj will know this better than me, but the Poly USEDD to have Electric Pageant at 9.
Illuminations is at 9:30 so you will miss Electric Pageant BUT who knows about we 'single gals on the loose' we may still be drinking long after EP. A lot depends on the weather methinks. SO, why not give us a call on your cell while you are waiting for Illuminations @ 8:45. We should know what is up by then. I should have a car so maybe we 'll all feel like doing something somewhere after Illuminations is over.

Otherwise...it is the Merry Mixer for sure
BUT I wanted to tell you about a couple other things going on on Nov 30 in case you are interested:
My BWV meeting is in the morning. Mousefest stuff is at MGM that day.
A mini meet outside TOT at 9:30, milllionaire at noon, a trivia challene at 1, Hidden Mickeys at 3, then a meet at the Belle Vue bar at BWI at 4:45, the meeting at 6:30 for the Osborne Lighest and finally at 9 at the Adventurer's Club at PI with Timon. Actually it is my BUSIEST day of planning!!! (and I have dinner with Laura somewhere in the middle of all that...whew!)

Anyway, I will PM you as soon as I post this.

[cobbler]

I know hubby and I plan on making a trek over to PI on Wednesday night before it goes away forever!

[kathyseb]

OK, I have been out of town all week on business and just signed on to the Internet and had a PM from jiggerj asking if I would like to join in the fun.
Thanks for the invite.

We are so busy getting ready for Thanksgiving. We have major entertaining twice a year at our house (Thanksgiving and our Christmas in July party). Why is it that all of our house projects are stored up for July and November? :veryconfu :veryconfu
You would think we would learn after 13 years. :hammer: :hammer:

We just purchased a new couch, which meant, paint the walls and the trim. And hey, while the drapes are down, lets wash them....It never ends.

Anyway, taking a break to get the feeling back in my fingers from painting trim all day!! The walls and the trim are taking three coats of paint. :hammer:

Anyway, we have no children. But my older sister is coming down with us. It will be her first trip to FlA, not to mention WDW. :goodvibes :goodvibes

We would love to join you. But not sure we will have time. But, have never seen the Electric Pageant before so it is very tempting.
Problem is we are having a hard time fitting in everything we want to do with her.

So, am I correct, you are planning on meeting the 28th at the Rose Garden in time for the 7pm parade? Then take in Wishes and then over to the Poly for the Electric Pageant?

Fat chance of you getting ahold of us on our cell phone. We are in the minority, we DO NOT carry it into the parks. :Pokepoke: Call us stange!!!

Anyway, let me know if I have the details right.
Kathy

[Colorado Belle]

You have it exactly right!
Of course we will have to move from the rose garden after we meet up if we are going to watch spectro...it's just that it seemed an easy place to meet for the first time.
If you miss us for Spectro, then you could try at 8 there for Wishes and finally at 9 outside at the Poly watching EWP.

I'm sure your sister will be overwhelmed with all the wonderful stuff to do!
Spectro and Wishes is a must for a first timer. EWP is kind of an inside thing, but one that is great fun to share with newbies as long as they aren't expecting it..so if you do come to the Poly, dn't tell her its for EWP, just say we are hooking up for a stroll on the beach and a drink or two!

Ok, I think I'm starting to get my nights confused. LOL.
We are still talking about Mon right?
I have had so much going on in my life at once :hammer:
The Mon plan is meeting (Rose garden) for Spectro, then wishes, then at least some of us are going to the Poly for drinks right?

And then there was something about Sunday for Illiminations?
Sorry I'm so dinghy right now!

You got it! See you at the Rose garden entrance before Spectro! I am sure to be there by 6:30 unless there is some problem but I will call you guys to let you know so your not worrying. I will have to skip the Poly for drinks as I have my 6 yr old ds with me.

Not sure what you mean about sunday illuminations?

OMG ! Too cool...Today is Monday so its now...see you guys next Monday in the WORLD! :bluebloun :bluebloun :bluebloun

Just 6 more days and I'll be on my way! :bluebloun

Sunday NOv 27: A friend of mine from Tampa and I thought we'd head over to Epcot @ 6pm for the tree lighting ceremony. And then do Soarin' and American Pavillion and even check out the candlelight processional. And then set up camp @ 8:30 at a secret place to have light dinner and watch Illuminations (thanks Mar!). And you are welcome to meet up with us if you want for any part of that.

Monday 6:30 at the Rose Garden for Spectro, then Wishes at 8. Electrical Water Pageant is at the Poly at 9 I think....Boat drinks on the beach????
Maybe the little man will surprise you jiggerji.....the monorail and EWP are kid friendly. Does he still nap? Mine DD did at that age!

Do I ever wish he would still nap...actually I dont think he ever did!!! He is quite a trooper and more excited about this trip than my older girls I think..! I told him we are going to meet my friend "Colorado Belle" and he said ..."Colorado... we are going to Colorado? I thought Disney was in Florida!" LOL!!!

I ran everything by my DH and he was excited.
And my sister was too. As she said, "Everything will be new to her".
So true.

So, unless something happens, we will be at the Rose Garden at 6:30 on the 28th.
We leave in three days and I am so excited.

I missed meeting you guys :( The SSR condo meeting didn't get out until about 330 and we found our way to the Merry Mixer at 4pm. There were a lot of people there. I wondered around for a bit and only noticed one Dis board member while standing in line to meet Mickey/Minnie - Towncrier?? Anywho I didn't want to just start going up to people going Athenna? Jiggerj?? I would have looked retarded.

LOL. I had been thinking the same thing. I kept wondering if you were there but I didn't know how I was going to figure that out. I had gotten gold Mickey heads from Home Depot that I was going to put on like CB suggested, but I forgot to put it on.
