oooh, yes!!
I love Italy and want to go back so badly!!
Our cluster is meeting, but not sure what our plans are, maybe I'll find out tonight at our training meeting!!
 
I would love Disneyworld. We just got home Sunday from a Disneyland trip and last night my 6 yr old was crying cause he wanted to go back. I will be missing the meeting since my director lives 4 hrs away. Hopefully I wont have to wait long to hear the news.
By the way I have been wondering why are they announcing it now? Dont they usually announce it a leadership?

Lately that has been the case but when I first started, directors made the announcement at a meeting. That first year I won a prize because I guessed that Alaska would be the trip.
 
Personally, I don't think the BIG announcement is going to be about the incentive trip. I am thinking that it has something to do with Nov and Dec sales, and an AWESOME recruiting/signing incentive. It would not surprise me if they offered double or even triple points for some period of time. Maybe December??

They may announce the new location, but I think something else is up.
 
ooooooooooooooooooooo.....I like what you are thinking!!!!
 
Ok, so here's what I am doing: I am having a Bon Voyage Party. I made up "passports" with 15 pages that they can fill in with activities to do to build their business. Things like make 3 contacts, talk to someone about a fundraiser, fill in 10 names on your list of 100, etc., pass out 3 catalogs today, Pamper a business, etc. If they bring their passports back filled in that night they get a prize (don't know yet what it will be). I gave/sent them all an invitation and am having a "ugliest suitcase contest". In their invitation was an RSVP postcard that they HAVE to MAIL to me--the front of it is something they have to decorate and it says "wish I were here"--they can decorate it any way they want, stick figures, words from magazines, etc. Then they have to mail it back to me to RSVP. First come first served (when I receive them in the mail) and the ones that get it to me first get "first class seating" (thanks, Colleen) in my family room in front of the big screen with the dining room chairs. The ones that don't get it to me first get "coach" seating in my dining room with plastic chairs. I will get cheap luggage tags from the container store and have Bon Voyage plates, etc. Probably will have a world map and stickers they can place when they get here with where they would like to travel, etc. It's starting to come together. They loved the passport-it was a little bit of work in Publisher, but if they fill in each page they will definitely see a growth in their business. I think it will be fun!

This Pampered Chef consultant named Carol disagrees!

In the early years of my business, we had National Meeting Day, so this isn't something new that they are doing, but something old that they are revisiting. I think the purpose is to help all consultants get excited about the trip possibilities and to help consultants plan NOW for having a great 2009! Sure, I've heard that they've had cute ways to unveil the new destinations at Leadership, but only those who attend have been inspired there. My NED is encouraging consultants to make this Nov. their best month ever so that they start of 2009 with a bang...so I think this is just to add fuel to that kind of fire.

I'm hoping it is Disney -- then I need to do all that I can to make it there! My husband hasn't been to Disneyland since he was a little boy and I would love to take him. My cluster is doing the same thing - where you dress like the trip that you think it will be and the best dressed wins a prize. I just picked up a pair of Mickey gloves over the weekend (for the dress up corner at the Foster Care camp that I do), and am working on mustering up the guts to wear them. They are seriously padded white gloves like what you would see Mickey wearing!! I have the perfect red shirt and black slacks, throw in ears and a tail and people just might think that I am celebrating Halloween 4 days too late but I just might win! LOL We'll see :D

If it was Disney it would be DisneyWORLD in Florida.

It will coincide with our 30 year anniversary (when we take the trip), so I'm sure it will be HUGE!!

I'm kinda hoping for Disney. My husband and kids have never been. We've got to decide which kids to take because the family trip is for 4 and we are a fam of 6. I'm excited for Disney. I remember the last trip seeing the people interviewed afterward and many of them were with grown children, sisters, or moms. If you earn it GO!! And make the best of it! It's a FREE trip dang it!! And a fabulous trip at that!
