Nick, Marie, The Diva's & Me!! Updated 5/23~World of Color! - The DIS Discussion Forums

DizNee Luver · 01-21-2013, 12:59 PM

Welcome to Nick, Marie, The Diva's & Me Thread!!!!

I'm Laurie and will be your hostess!!

I'm a huge Disney fan, trip report writer, photographer, wife & mother. I'm going on my 3rd Dis Diva's Girl's Trip and once again.....bringing along some family with me!!

Meet Nick, my oldest son and his beautiful fiance, Marie!!

Nick joined us for our family trip in 2010 & 2005 but Marie hasn't gone for quite a long time!!! So since they couldn't join us for our December trip, I thought it was only fair to treat them to this trip!

So the three of us will be flying from Portland, Oregon to the Santa Ana Airport on Wednesday, February 27 and going home either Sunday, March 3 or Monday, March 4......depending on flight costs. Right now staying over Sunday night will save us quite a bit but we'll see what it looks like when I actually have the money to purchase our tickets.

I've been debating on whether to stay on property or HoJo's but Nick said the HoJo's would be fine since he didn't plan on spending a ton of time in the room. So I'll be booking that soon.

Hope you'll join us on our adventure!!

This will be my 3rd trip with the Dis Diva's. This is a wonderful group of ladies that I've made some life long friends from. The Diva's go this time of year every year. Here are a couple pics from my first 2 years.

The group continues to get bigger & bigger and this year I believe we're up to 70 ladies!!

There are different big events like the Meet-n-Greet party & the Scavenger Hunt. There are group rides & group photos. Then you can join in on group meals.

I've been on the Meet-n-Greet committee for all 3 of the years I've attended. I'm usually in charge of the name tags, snack bags & snack table. This year I'm pretty much just doing the snack table. Here's some pics of the snack table the last 2 trips.

The 2011 party theme was the Luau:

At the 2012 party, the theme was Party of Peril:

This year the theme will be the Redneck Diva Hillybilly Hoedown!!!

DizNee Luver · 01-21-2013, 03:32 PM

Here's a few more pics of Nick & Marie. We'll be celebrating their engagement (even though they got engaged a long while ago). Marie wanted to finish getting her Master's before setting a date for a wedding. Well she got her degree and now the wedding has been set for September 7, 2013!!! It will be fun spending time with them and bonding with Marie outside the chaos of our normal home life!!!!

Minnie Sue Oz · 01-21-2013, 04:08 PM

Hi Laurie!

I will be following along..........I love your reports! I so wish I didn't live all the way over here in Australia as the Dis Diva's trips make me envious every year! I do enjoy hearing all about them though and the pictures you posted are simply gorgeous!

Subbing in right now!!!

Thanks for the well wishes. We are both really excited for not only this upcoming year, but the rest of our years together as well.

Hi there! I'm a lurker coming out from the shadows. Been reading the DisBoards for almost 4 years. I've read all your recent trip reports and I just love your family! Can't wait to hear all about this next trip, I will for sure try to comment every now and then. My sister actually just got engaged in Disneyland this weekend while she was there with her now-fiancé.
Sorry about your mom being in the hospital, hope she gets better soon.
