Gay Days 2010 "20th Anniversary"!!!

[ConcKahuna]

Did you know a baby bottle full of vodka looks exactly like a baby bottle full of water?

In case anyone was wondering how to go about adding their alcohol tot heir Dole Whip.

Hip flasks work well too. Not that I'd know.

My problem with those is that they don't hold enough! It's like one cocktail's worth of alcohol and then you're done!



I wonder if this camelback comes in "Gay Day Red"?

It holds three litres of . . . .water . . . I'm thinking it'd hold about that much in margaritas too!

Then we could just take the party with us!

That idea makes me all tingly.

And yes, they have a few red versions..

Gay Day at the Magic Kingdom is always the first Saturday in June. Next year that will be June 5th. So a meet would probably be June 4th, 5th, or 6th.

My intention is to book June 4-16 at WDW, followed by 2 nights at US/IOA. But DH won't know his vacation schedule until December.

The good thing about next year is Gay Days weekend is the weekend following Memorial Day. I'll probably be down for the same amount as this trip, 10 days. But with Memorial Day in there it'll be one less vacation day I'll need to take!

Oh, if you couldn't tell...count me in for whatever!!

Magical Fireworks Voyage

IMPORTANT CHANGES STARTING MARCH 1, 2009
This Grand Gathering event begins with cookies, snacks and beverages before you "set sail" on your magical voyage where you'll have prime viewing of the Magic Kingdom's "Wishes" and "Electrical Water Pageant."

Before you board, none other than Captain Hook and his hapless first-mate Mr. Smee arrive for some mayhem and photos. Your host for the night is "Patch" a pirate of dubious distinction. As you sail along the Seven Seas Lagoon, Patch will have you singing along and challenge you to some Disney Trivia.

Your "ship will set anchor" at the perfect spot overlooking the Magic Kingdom to view "Wishes". From there you return to the pier while Patch regales you with the story of Peter Pan. When you arrive, you'll see that none other than Peter himself is there to greet you.

As with all Grand Gatherings experiences, birthdays and special occasions will be noted.

$43.99 (ages 10 and up) $24.99 (ages 3 - 9)

Meet Place : Noted on the Event Board in Disney's Contemporary Resort

The breakfast happens a bit early for me

I've heard great things about the Safari and Epcot events though

Too early?

Your problem is that you're trying to SLEEP that weekend. Give up on trying to get any sleep and it's MUCH easier to make plans!

 

[Sphyrna]

Too bad the clubs like ADH weren't open later. We could go straight from there to the breakfast!

I like the idea of the Safari. At first the Magical Fireworks Voyage sounded good but figured there's so many good spots to see Wishes. The safari is something different.

Funny, I was going to say the breakfast happens too LATE for us! Who wastes time on breakfast when the park is OPEN???

Silly girl! You book the breakfast ADR at 8am when the park opens at 9am. Then you're in the park AHEAD of everyone else! We're usually done and out the door at about 8:50am.

Up until this year, that's what we've done every Gay Day. Breakfast with Pooh and Friends at Crystal Palace.

I dont wake up early unless it involves me getting paid, and even then I don't like it!

I know that trick. We do that every year for my birthday. Including this year. 8:05 AM ADR at CP is my FAVORITE.

We also do that at Tusker House at AK.

I suppose it would work with the Akershus breakfast at Epcot, and the Playhouse Disney thing at Hollywood & Vine, but we just aren't interested in either of those.
