Theme Park Review's 2007 Group Trips!

[EuroTreI wrote the book about donkeys!]

I HATE my parents penny-pinching! They wouldn't even let me buy one of Robb's DVDs!

I will be sending my deposit for Spain on Thursday via Paypal. I really hope I get on the trip.

So is there a lottery with everyone or just the people who didn't attend the UK trip?

[TexTitan01A donkey is a domesticated member of the Equidae or horse family.]

my parents are letting me go, because my mom just went to Wimbledon (she's a tennis pro at a country club in town) and she knows what its like to make a pilgrimage trip for something you looove. I just wish she would HOP TO IT WITH THE DEPOSIT ! But theres only 23 people signed up, so I still have time to get mine in.

If you send your deposit via mail, will you not count us as signed up until you get it?

[coaster05I prefer to mate with donkeys over humans!]

^ Lottery system. It does not matter when they get it as long as they get it before the deadline.

UKer's do not have to be in the lottery we already have our spot as long as we get the deposit in.

How do I know these things even though I have been a member for only a year. I read. Please read also so Robb and Elissa can spend their time doing more important things.

[matteocrepaldiI love donkeys more than me.]

I'd really LOVE to go to the midwest trip!!!

Do I have a couple of days to talk with my prents about it?

How come you're not coming to Italy???

Wow your parents won't write a check for 4,000 since you would need a chaperone, plus tickets or gas to get there, plus the other two meals each day and souvenirs.

You are right they seem very ilrational to me.

For any interested for 2 people to go to the UK and Sweeden my total came to 7,000 not counting the 3 extra days in London. We were extremely frugal and it still came to that. I am just saying be prepared.

^^^ Sorry about that...It was my first question since I was waiting for the flyer and it wasn't on the flyer that the Uk'ers didn't have to be in the lottery. But then I saw Rob's comment on page 1...so now I know thanks

Deguy123 - just get the deposit in and don't stress about it, there are a lot of people who seem excited and want to go but can't do it (too young, no money, no vacation time). Sending the deposit in is the one thing you can control, even people that were originally on the wait list last year got bumped up as people dropped off the trip

There are a lot of people on this site, but not everybody can plan that far out. I remember last year coaster05, his wife and I didn't send our deposits in until pretty late, back when R&E were letting us know there were only 10 spots or so left.

One of the reasons I went on the UK Trip versus waiting another year was that R&E were upfront and told everyone the first participants would have priority for future trips for being their guinea pigs.

[methyleneHave I mentioned how awesome donkeys are?]

Have you actually read the flyer? I mean this as nicely as possible, but it was stated very clearly that deposits must be postmarked by Sepetember 28th.

How come you're not coming to Italy???

I take it you didn't read that flyer either. It is the "optional addon" hence the discussion over the last month about a "Spain Trip with an Italy addon".
