"Diva" Trip - "Cliff Notes" p.236 OLD THREAD!

Not open for further replies.
Now that the long holiday weekend is over, I thought I'd take a moment to update some of the recent developments and plans that have been discussed, just in case anyone missed them over the past week or two. :)

All this info is always updated on the front page, but I know not everyone checks over there, so I thought I'd share a brief overview here just so everyone is on the same page. Please take a moment to read through it and see what pertains to you. Thanks!!


PHOTOPASS INFO
Jess/Belle Ella have volunteered to over see this. She will be doing a total of 2 PhotoPass shares. One will be for September and October (for the Half Marathon girls, anyone taking Halloween trips, and anything else between the two months). The other one will be for January and February (the Tinkerbell Half girls, the Diva trip, and any other mini trips in between).
Please PM her if you are interested in participating in the photopass and let her know which one (or both) you would like to be added to.



MEET AND GREET
In case anyone hasn't heard, our wonderful committee has made the grand announcement of what the theme is going to be.......DIS Divas Party of Peril!! It sounds great, and more specific info for the Meet and Greet, including the exchange theme, can be found on the first page, so if you haven't already, check it out!



SCAVENGER HUNT
This was posted by Melody a few days ago:

Sounds exciting! And if I'm not mistaken a clue was posted by Bridget not long after this post by Mel..... :rolleyes1 (p.215)
Also the SH committee will be assigning teams again this year. If you plan to participate in the hunt, you will need to PM Melody and let her know you are interested, AND what style of hunting you would prefer:
1. Walkers
2. Marathoners
3. Sprinters



ROOMMATES
There is a roommate/hotel list on the first page. If you haven't already done so, please post here where you are staying, and who you are rooming with so I can add you. If you are in need of a roommate, post that as well so hopefully you can match up with others also searching for a roomie.



SCHEDULE
We had a few discussions regarding meals and where to place them in the schedule. (starting back on p. 223) I think we came up with some good ideas and so far everything seems to fit nicely in the plans. They are not set in stone at this point, we just had to start somewhere, so if anyone has any other suggestions or objections to what's been planned so far, as always, feel free to voice your thoughts. So take a peek at the schedule and make sure what you want to do, or where you want to eat, is on there. Thanks!
(I won't be starting the official sign-ups for meals until sometime in October. From past experience to start any sooner only leads to confusion as prior to that time there are often changes in our meal plans.)



T-SHIRTS!
**Shirt colors:
Thursday: Lime green shirt
Friday: Purple castle t-shirt (last year's group tee)
Saturday: New group t-shirt (hot pink color with retro Disneyland sign)
Sunday: Teal shirt
Monday: Blue shirt?

*Remember if you want to order last years purple castle shirt, you must let Melody know so she can add you to the list. Thank-you.




**AND FINALLY....Will you be there?!?! :)
It has been suggested, by more than one of the ladies, that we have an official sign-up for those who are attending the trip and their dates. I am happy to do that. So, please take a minute and post if you are definitely planning to attend the 2012 trip, your dates, and if you are a returning or new member this year. Thank-you! (Even though we have photos on the front page of all past and present Divas, this makes it fun and easy to see exactly who will be on this trip.)



Okay, I think that's about it. I hope this helps provide a quick Cliff Notes version of some of the planning that's taken place lately. Remember you can always check the first page or PM me if you have any questions or are feeling lost. And thank you to everyone who participates in the planning to help make this a fun trip for all! :dance3:

Yes yes yes I will be there. I am planning to be there thurs-sunday.

I am so far behind on these boards As I am going thru the pages all the planning sounds like fun.

I am looking forward to the scavenger hunt I will pm mel. don't know what kind of hunting style I am. I am usually a pretty laid back person but I was doing a surviv0r type game at work with coworkers and got kinda competative.

Love the shirt colors (I am actually wearing a lime shirt right now) I might tye dye myself a lime green shirt but I might not even make it to the park on thurs just straight to the meet and greet and haven't decide on what to wear for that. Love the 20's, always wanted a cruella devil costume (i am minnie mouse every year), but then I think of the haunted mansion and what kind of costume I can create.

The meals sound good excited about a character meal have never done one (though I may do the minnie breakfast with my daughter before she leaves for school)

If anyone needs a roomie or knows of someone who does or has extra room let me know.

Well I am going to finish reading some of these pages
 
Didn't we already do pirates? Or was it just our shirts that were pirate themed? I can't remember. :rotfl:



Does it in any way have to do with Indiana Jones? Temple of the Forbidden Eye? Was Jess' post about her eyes a hint? Or the toss a bone a hint?

(now I think everything is a hint!! lol)

Hints hints everywhere.....lol

I'm just taking stabs at it.....worked for the Amazing Race answer!! :rotfl:

Looking, Lurking, sore Eyes, Bone.....etc

Bone makes me think dog.....Pluto?? (I'm sure there are other dogs...just drawing a blank......)
 
I got the clues about looking and lurking. Is it something about seeing things you wouldn't normally look for like a search and find or a tresure hunt?
 


ATTENTION PLEASE!!

We have one smart cookie amongst us!

Laurie has basically guessed our theme for the scavenger hunt. As a committee, we decided at the beginning that if someone guessed the 2 components of the title she would win. So here goes!!!

Drum roll please!!!

She guessed "Diva's Amazing Race & I Spy?"

Our official name for the hunt is "DIS Diva's Amazing I Spy Race!"

Wow, she was close!!!!

Amazing job Laurie!!!! :cheer2::cheer2::cheer2:

Prize will be announced later!

:jumping1:Yippee!!!:jumping1:

:flower3: Never been called smart before.....lol :rotfl2:

Now if I can just do that good on the actual hunt!! That would be awesome!! :woohoo:
 


Haha, so says the Diva who single-handedly completed our puzzles during last year's Scavvy Hunt. :rotfl: I think you're qualified as smart! Me, I just hope I can be a smart alec every now and again.

:hug:

Whoo hoo, Laurie!!!



And, Mel, for Scavenger Hunt style, I'm definitely a Sprinter! Can't wait! LOVE the theme. Can expect some odd pics from Mz. Jazz!
 
Thanks for the Diva Cliff's Notes mommau4!
It's exciting to see all the planning coming together. Squee! :lovestruc

I am planning to attend the 2012 DisDiva meetup, and this will be my second trip.
I don't know if my mom will want to come with me again, so I may need to find a roomie this year, or maybe I will have to find someone else to come with me!
How much would it cost to share a room/villa with the ladies who are staying at the Grand?
I would like to take part in the Photopass share again please.
Love the shirt colours!
Looking forward to finding some fun Canadian candy to bring to the M&G! (Will we be doing that again? I loved all the treats and goodies that people brought.)

PS - I don't think my picture is on pg. 1. How do I send that to the Diva in charge? :confused3
 
She guessed "Diva's Amazing Race & I Spy?"

Yay!!! :cool1: Good job, Laurie!!!! :banana:

I was thinking way too literal. Trying to think of an actual "eye". lol
And thinking of spies, rather than just to "spy" something.

That sounds like it's going to be an awesome theme! Fun, fun, fun.

So will the teams have the assignment of thinking of names once again? (once the teams are set of course) And will there be a "dress up" or decoration theme to go with it?
 
Don't even be playing coy! You'll be looking through 1000's of odd pic's you've accumulated just to stump us! I know! Though, we'll miss you on the team, you were our odd picture guru!

Haha, wouldn't you be so lucky. I'll have brand new fresh material otherwise anyone could go snooping my TR's to study ;)

Thanx Beth!!! I kept thinking....lurking & looking......I spy with my little eye & also Where's Waldo.....my next guess would have been Where's Mickey? lol
 
That's awesome Laurie!!! Unfortuneatley, I am 16 and I will be 17 on the 2013 trip so I can't attend. Congratulations to those on the list!!
