August, 2003 Walt Disney World Updates Hi Yall :o)
Hi Everyone this is a page I created so that we can all communicate about the trip so that I can stay up to date with any issues or questions that you all may have.

WALT DISNEY WORLD GBS WLS FAMILY REUNION VACATION

The trip is to reward/encourage those of us who have completed surgery and lost weight and those of us who are contemplating surgery and have just started the journey. It is for us all to celebrate our accomplishments and to get to know each other personally and to most importantly HAVE FUN!!! :)

TRIP DATES: DECEMBER 19, 2004 TO DECEMBER 26, 2004

LOCATION: WALT DISNEY WORLD IN ORLANDO FLORIDA

HOTEL: DISNEY ALL STAR MOVIE RESORT

ROOM RATES: THIS RATE INCLUDES ALL TAXES AND IS PER NIGHT FOR THE DURATION OF THE TRIP. THE TRIP IS FOR 6 NIGHTS AND 7 DAYS.

THE ROOM RATE IS $86.24 PER NIGHT

ROOM ACCOMODATIONS: TWO DOUBLE BEDS THAT CAN SLEEP TWO ADULTS EACH AND THE ROOMS ALLOW A MAXIMUM OF 4 GUESTS PER ROOM.

IF YOU ARE AN ADULT WITH A CHILD OVER THE AGE OF 9 THEY ARE CONSIDERED AN ADULT ALSO SO YOU WILL EACH HAVE YOUR OWN BED.

IF YOU HAVE A FAMILY OF 4 THEN EXPECT TWO PEOPLE PER BED. IF YOUR HAVE MORE THAN 4 PEOPLE IN YOUR PARTY EXPECT TO RESERVE 2 ROOMS.

PASSES TO WALT DISNEY WORLD PARKS AND ATTRACTIONS:

I HAVE ARRANGED A DISCOUNTED PRICE ON THE 5 DAY PARK HOPPER TICKETS. THE PARK HOPPER TICKETS HAVE THE FOLLOWING UNLIMITED FEATURES:

Downtown Disney's Pleasure Island or DisneyQuest during regular operating hours. The NET PRICE for
this ticket is $217.02 for adults and $171.81 for children (ages 3-9), including tax.

NOW FIRST THINGS FIRST YOU WILL NEED TO PROVIDE ME (IF YOU HAVE NOT DONE SO ALREADY) WITH THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF ROOMS YOU AND/OR YOUR FAMILY WILL NEED FOR THE TRIP ASAP!! I HAVE TO SIGN THE AGREEMENT WITH DISNEY AND FAX IT BACK TO THEM BEFORE 08/15/03 BEFORE 5 PM OR WE WILL LOSE THIS GREAT RATE. I HAVE NO INTENTION OF LOSING THIS GREAT RATE BELIEVE ME WE CAN DO NO BETTER AND STILL STAY WITHIN THE DISNEY COMPLEX.

AFTER THE AGREEMENT HAS BEEN RECEIVED DISNEY WILL PROVIDE US WITH A PASSWORD THAT YOU SHOULD USE WHEN CALLING TO RESERVE YOUR ROOM AND MAKE FINAL PAYMENTS. THE FIRST THING TO DO IS TO SECURE YOUR ROOM AS SOON AS YOU CAN AND IT COSTS ONLY $86.24 TO DO SO PER ROOM AND THEN YOU WILL HAVE UNTIL NOVEMBER 18, 2004 TO COMPLETE ALL OF YOUR PAYMENTS.

IF YOU OR YOUR FAMILY DECIDES THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO ATTEND OR CAN'T AFTER YOU HAVE PAID YOUR DEPOSIT DON'T WORRY BECAUSE YOU WILL HAVE UNTIL NOVEMBER 4, 2004 TO CANCEL YOUR RESERVATION WITHOUT PENALTY AND YOUR DEPOSIT(S) WILL BE SENT BACK TO YOU IN FULL. IF YOU CANCEL AFTER THAT DATE YOU HURT YOURSELF AND THE GROUP BECAUSE THEY WILL TAKE A PENALTY FEE FROM YOUR DEPOSIT AND YOU HURT THE GROUP FOR FUTURE SPECIAL OFFERS IF WE DECIDE TO DO THIS EVERY YEAR. I AM TRYING TO BUILD A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH DISNEY SO THAT WE CAN RECEIVE BIGGER AND BETTER INCENTIVES FOR THE YEARS TO COME.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR HAVE ANY SPECIAL NEEDS LIKE HANDICAPPED ACCOMODATIONS YOU SHOULD LET ME KNOW EITHER LEAVE A MESSAGE HERE OR ON THE GBS YAHOO SITE OR SEND TO MY EMAIL GRIMMLAH1@AOL.COM OK.

HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL THERE IT WILL BE A BLAST I GUARANTEE LOL :)
