Sounds like a good excuse for a WDW trip!!

[OKWTink]

Doesn't it though? :D However, the last Member's Event they had at AK was really stressful. So many members turned up the place was total chaos. :eek: Not a nice experience.

Let's hope this one is better organized! :yes:

[triciacarole]

If you go you will have to tell us about it straight away :)

[Chris/Lisa]

Cooo eeee anyone who is a member who doesn't have 3 guests we'll be there in January :whistle:

pretty please :wink:

[OKWTink]

Will ya now? :hehe:

I wonder if little boys are considered guest or if it's just the adult children that are considered guests. :D

Hmmmm, some of those dates actually encompass weekend days. :D

[Chris/Lisa]

:kiss2: you are looking especially beautiful today 'Tink :D

[Whitequeen]

You are such a crawler, Chris!!!:lol:

[Chris/Lisa]

I dont care - Tink is beautiful

(and that coaster looks cool :D)


*** as an aside this thread only seems to come up in original not my usual lion king style - spooky***

[OKWTink]

Do I now? :D Must be the fuschia top, eh?

Well then... what were your dates again? :D

[Chris/Lisa]

:)

Jan20th through Feb3rd

:hyper:

[OKWTink]

Are you now? Well then... we'll have to see how they classify those little boy children. :D

'Course if the little boy children count as guests, then the adult boy children could just give their guest spot over to the little ones, eh? :D :D

[Chris/Lisa]

:excited:

[OKWTink]

Shhhh. You'll hurt yersel. Let me see what I can find out. :hug:

[Johnie]

:lol: I come back to find some serious brown-nosing going on.

Are the boy children going to be tall enough to ride? You must give a detailed description when you come back!!

[Chris/Lisa]

Yes I am tall enough

:excited::excited::excited:

[Johnie]

:rotfl: I figured that YOU are

[OKWTink]

Ooooh, good point Johnie. The little boy children. Do you expect there to be height restrictions, Johnie? I don't know much about Everest. :unsure: Hey wait a minute. It's not a coaster is it? :eek:

[Johnie]

The pictures show a coaster :D so I imagine height restrictions.

[OKWTink]

A coaster? :sofa: Ummmm... well then... :eek:

[Chris/Lisa]

From what I have read it will be about the same as space mountain.

However the yeti does look gairy and I'm not sure the little guy would be up to that - but :shrug: he did do dinosaur ok so who knows.

Pretty sure Lisa will be big enough :whistle:

[OKWTink]

Well, I don't think the DVC member is required to go on the thing, right? :D

So, theoretically speaking, the guests of the member could ride, whilst the member just relaxes in the shade (maybe with the youngest of the men, who may be not yet tall enough to ride) whilst the guests get the daylights scared out of them, yes? :explain:

[Johnie]

There you go....sounds like a plan!

[Chris/Lisa]

I love you tink. :hug:

[PaulaK]

...or you could just borrow a DVC members card that can't possibly go! :D

[uscwest]

I believe I read something about a 44" limit and the children will be measured against a giant Yeti Footprint.

[OKWTink]

LOLOL! That's a grand idea Paula! LOL!

[Chris/Lisa]

44 inches would be just fine Thomas is pushing 48 for January :fingers: for the RnR

:excited: - think I may pop now

will do a roving reporter trip report for the UOG on the ride

(and if you believe that.................)

[OKWTink]

There now see? All is well with your holiday. Paula has rescued you from having to put up with fusty old Auntie 'Tink who has been known to spit on her hanky and wipe chocolate from the mouths of boys (both little and not so little)! You owe her big time for saving you from that! :D :rotfl:

My understanding is it's a cross between BTMRR and DL mattahorn .17x2 train seat just a lapbar so no upsidedown.It goes frontwards & backwards like the mummy at US/IOA. Has 80 foot drop and top speed of 50mph.
I'm still trying to talk DW into short trip down just for the sneakpeak but feel I may have to wait for the June trip.

Are any DVC members going to be at Expedition Everest on the 26th or 27th? I am just a regular person who will be there celebrating duel birthdays with my girlfriend who will be at Disney for the first time. Anyone willing to let some cool people who'll buy you lunch for a ride on Expedition Everest?
