My daughter is ready to start 3 yr old MDO & she MUST be potty trained to be enrolled. She has shown no interest. She doesn't care that her peers who are potty trained. We tried offering her a sucker or mini candy bar (she never gets sweets so she seemed interested, but not enough to potty). She has come close enough to start peeing on the floor after her bath. We've tried to get her to the potty during that time because we know it is likely she will go but no luck. The last thing we want to do is hold her on the potty kicking and screaming if you know what I mean:-)
We can't even get her to sit on the potty and try. She is very active so she acts like it is a waste of time & wants to do something else. Our last resort is to just take 3 days and not plan on going anyplace & just putting her in underpants. I know she will go to the bathroom on herself but maybe after doing it all day & changing her clothes all day she will want to go to the potty? Any advice on this option?

I think thats a wonderful idea. Encourage her that you're proud of her that she's such a big girl and can use the potty, and tell you when she needs to. Help her to remember to act on that sensation of feeling a need. Its hard to a toddler to realize that the urge requires an action.
Honestly you should have done it sooner. Iam a cold turkey trainer. When the baby potty comes out the diapers go away. Its never failed me yet. But it will fail her if you dont encourage her by building her confidence. Her desire to do whats right and to be a good girl should be more important than the instant gratification of candy or treats. If she's pleased with herself because she's made you proud she'll desire to to whats right.
Just tell her all the time in passing, that you're so proud of her for being grown up enough to use the potty. What a shame it would be for such a big girl to wear diapers or mess in her pants. That you're so glad she can tell you that she has to go, and so on.

If you dont mind staying at home for for about four days it does work. I had to use it as a last resort for my daoughter also. We tried everything to. I put her in use underwear and nothing else. We went through lots and lots of underwear. Each day was less accidents and by the middle of the second day so was'nt wetting herself at all. Shes been trained for 6months and has an occional 2 accident but thats all. She was givin a small candy or a sticker only when she made it to the potty the first week and that helped. Its very trying but if you can stick to it for that long it does work.

When a friend of mine recommended a potty training step stool, I was skeptical it would make a difference. I could not believe my son and daughter's reaction to The Potty Stool http://www.thepottystool.com I started by just setting it at the toilet. This stool makes every toilet kid-sized. My kids immediately climbed up on this stool and discovered that they could safely and securely use the toilet. This got them very interested in using the toilet and they were potty trained very quickly. My kids like to use what they know mommy and daddy use. And it really is wonderful having your kids independently use the toilet on their own. The handles make all the difference! My son and daughter felt very secure and the sides makes them feel comfortable and closed in when they use the toilet.
I like that I don't have to double the steps of potty training by training them first in a potty and then training them to stop using a potty. And not dumping and cleaning a potty each time is great. The best thing is that kids use it for years. I hope this helps you

Potty training boot camp! Sounds like that is what you have planned -- that is what I did with my son. He was as obstinate as they come about going on the potty so I took three days, went right to underwear, and we started boot camp.
The key to remember is that you are the parent - and she is going to have to listen to you. Put her on the potty and insist she stay there. If she gets up - put her back on - tell her that she has to potty before she can get up. Get a good book - for you. Pull up a seat next to the potty and prepare for a long few days.
There are people who are going to tell you that you shouldn't force her to sit or this is mean. I used this technique with my son with no ill effects. Once he figure out that being on the potty was not going to end until he went -- surprise, surprise - he went. By three she should be capable of controlling her functions. Don't punish her - just keep putting her back on and reinforcing that in order to get up and continue playing she needs to go.
