I was looking at the Celebration Tour schedule, and the van will be here February 16 & 17. It doesn't have a place yet. Do y'all want to get together again? We can meet the Celebration Tour and then do lunch or something!

O.K., the Celebration Van is coming to the Chandler Mall on Monday, Feb. 16th between the hours of 11:00 - 1:00. We'll have lunch after.

No need to worry about school because it's a Federal Holiday.

I hope you can be there. What a special occasion.:mickey:

We'll do our best to make it. Keep us posted on where and when as I've never been to Chandler let alone their mall.

Will Chandler be their only stop in the Valley?

Cinderelley
02-03-2009, 03:21 PM
Chandler is the only stop listed, and it was dropped to just the one day instead of the original two days.

Marilyn Michetti

Chandler Mall is HUGE !!!! I'll find out and let you know by tomorrow.:mickey:

Nobody at Chandler Fashion Center can tell me where the Celebration Van will be until Monday.
Why don't we meet at the event, (wherever it is - I'll know Mon.), and have lunch after.
Out there, is anything you could want:
B.J.'s - a brewery with great salads and sandwiches.
Cheesecake Factory
The usual Olive Garden and Red Lobster
Dave's barbeque
California Pizza Kitchen
Rockfish Cafe
P.F. Chang's
Mimi's
Various chain steak houses that I can't think of right now.
A HUGE food court inside
El Pollo Loco
Marie Callanders
Denny's
Applebee's
Etc.

I'll get back to you Monday A.M.:thumbsup:

We're not going to be able to make it. Grandma wants to see the kids that day and then we have baseball practice. Can't wait to hear how it went.

Marilyn Michetti
02-09-2009, 05:04 PM
For anyone planning on meeting the Celebration Van, it will be on the lower level of the mall outside Victoria's Secret.:blush:

Mickey at V.S.??????? Hmmmmmmmmmm.....

Cinderelley
02-09-2009, 09:39 PM
Maybe he's planning on picking up a little something for Minnie. Maybe a late V-Day present. :D

I'll let you know. It looks like I'm the only one from this forum that's going.:confused:

I was still hoping we all could meet somewhere in the north valley area, like we talked about a few months ago. Even without a Celebration Van -- I'm not sure what that is anyway.

I'm sure if you pick a place and date, others will show. I was going to suggest one at Murphy Haus like we talked about, but my son's having health problems. With everything going on with him, I don't have the time or energy to devote to it. Marilyn was willing to get this one going.

I'll pm you a link about the Celebration Van.

Marilyn Michetti
02-11-2009, 11:01 AM
The celebration van is an event. We can still meet at Murphy's or anywhere up North. I'm in Glendale every Sat. a.m.

Teamblackwell - look for me. I'm a Sr. Citizen in a red scooter. My basket has a handpainted sign with my name on it. I'll probably be wearing my Intercot shirt.

Looking forward to saying "hi".:mickey:

The Celebration Tour Van is basically the Disney Dream Team. It's touring the country, and will only be in the Phoenix area for two hours on the 16th. They're granting wishes and passing out "stuff"? Chance to win a cruise or vacation in addition to all kind of smaller prizes. It's an extention of the Make a Dream Come True year(s).:mickey:

Thanks Cinderelley and Marilyn for explaining what the Celebration Van is. It sounds fun but I don't know if I'll get a chance to go over there.

I would still like to meet in the North Valley, and a Saturday brunch or lunch in Glendale would be great. I have plans on 2/21 but could meet on 2/14 or 2/28. I guess 2/14 would be too short notice for some people. How about brunch at the Saddle Ranch in Glendale on 2/28?

Marilyn Michetti
02-12-2009, 09:21 AM
I can do that. Just point me to the Saddle Ranch. Northern is as far as I usually go, except for the times I shop at Luke AFB .

Let me know.:thumbsup:

The Saddle Ranch is at Westgate, the same complex with the large sports arenas, off the 101 at Glendale Ave, so it is indeed south of Northern. Does that work?

If that's not convenient, we can choose another place.

Marilyn Michetti
02-13-2009, 03:50 PM
O.K., I know where that is. You decide when, and I'll be there. :thumbsup:

DaisyDuck001
02-13-2009, 09:40 PM
How about 11AM on Saturday, February 28 at the Saddle Ranch? Does that work?

I'm willing to go even if it would be just Marilyn and me, but I hope more people can also be there.

Marilyn Michetti
02-14-2009, 04:05 PM
I'll be there - looking forward to it. You're more fun than you can imagine.:)

Thanks, Marilyn, it will be good to see you!

Will anyone else out there be joining us?

AZ Disney
02-16-2009, 01:15 PM
I won't be able to do the 28th. I'm in the middle of selling my home, moving twice, and buying a new home all while I do everything else in a regular full-time schedule! Have fun and I'll try to catch you next time.

Oh, thanks for the picture. It was terrific meeting two handsome men at the mall. Please forgive me, was your son's name Coulton? (Am I even close). The first picture of him standing by the Van looks like he's wearing the ears.

It was fun - your son is ADORABLE !:mickey:

I'm so bummed that I didn't get to go! How was it? What was it like?

DaisyDuck001
02-17-2009, 07:10 PM
Cinderelley, will we see you at the Saddle Ranch? :mickey:

Cinderelley
02-18-2009, 12:20 PM
I don't know yet. My stepson has a bronchoscopy on Friday, so we'll see how that turns out.

DaisyDuck001
02-23-2009, 06:58 PM
OK, who else will be joining Marilyn and me this Saturday? :mickey: Looking forward to seeing anyone who can be there!

Cinderelley
02-24-2009, 11:59 AM
We have our follow-up appointment on 2/26 to get his bronch results. I'll know then.

Marilyn Michetti
02-25-2009, 10:20 AM
I'll be there, bright eyed and bushy tailed. Some of you, try to make it. It's going to be fun, and a great PLACE! (I checked the menu).

See you Sat.

M.M.

Cinderelley
02-27-2009, 12:02 PM
We'll be there (unless I get called into work). Can you give me a little more info about where it's located. I know where the Johnny Rockets is. Is it close to there?

DaisyDuck001
02-27-2009, 06:25 PM
It's clear on the other end, not by Johnny Rocket's.

The Saddle Ranch location within Westgate can be viewed if you mouse :mickey: over the second building from the upper right corner of this map:

Looking forward to seeing Cinderelley and Marilyn there this Saturday, Feb 28 at 11AM! I'll look for you all just inside the entrance of the Saddle Ranch.

Marilyn Michetti
02-27-2009, 07:34 PM
I'll see you tomorrow at 11:00. I'm looking forward to a fantastic time.:cloud9:

You're welcome. See you real soon!

Marilyn Michetti
02-28-2009, 04:51 PM
Hey, it was fun. Christi, that wasn't you I almost rear-ended getting on the 101 was it? I hope not, because it would have been my fault, and you would never want to meet me for lunch again.:blush:

Daisy, here's prayers for a job. I KNOW you'll be fine.

Next time, we all get drunk and ride the bull.
NOT !!!!!

See you soon.

M.M.:thumbsup:

DaisyDuck001
02-28-2009, 07:12 PM
Thanks for the prayers, Marilyn.

I'm so glad the five of us were able to get together today. It was great to see everyone!

Next time I hope even more people can join us.

Daisy

It was great seeing you guys again! Thanks for the ideas for my trip.


Daisy- I think DS's idea to work for Disney is a good one for you;). With the company merging many jobs, maybe they'll move their offices to Phoenix. Then you can put all these good ideas on intercot to good use.

Marilyn, it wasn't me, but if it would've been, I would've just made you pay me in Disney Dollars. Hee-hee-hee.

As far as the bullriding, I'll need a few :marg: before the bullride to build up my courage and then a few afterwards to help dull the pain. Remember, it is all in the legs.

So, when will we be meeting at Murphy Haus?


I finally remembered the name!!!:party:

DaisyDuck001
03-09-2009, 01:07 AM
Actually it is called Haus Murphy.

I was there with another group recently so I'm not in a big hurry to go back now.

Maybe another restaurant? What are some of your other favorite places?

Marilyn Michetti
03-09-2009, 12:02 PM
I'm at Caitlin Court most every Sat. morning, so you say when, and I'll be there. It's a neat place with the best fried I've ever had anywhere.:)

Hey guys, glad that so many have been able to meet.

Been really busy (haven't logged on since December), but I wanted to stop by, bump this thread, and say hello to my fellow Phoenix Intercotees.

The weather is so Perfect!

DaisyDuck001
04-17-2009, 01:01 AM
Anyone interested in meeting for lunch or dinner at Buca di Beppo (Italian food) on Saturday, April 25, at 16091 N Arrowhead Fountain Center Drive, Peoria?

MegaDisney
