DIS meet in Niagara region - list in post 1

[iluveeyore]

Okay, who's in?? We all go through Disney withdrawal or count the never-ending days until our next visit, so why not get together and share in person? Anyone interested? Any ideas of when/where this could happen? DVC members step up - we all love Disney, and we could be living up the street from each other! Let's find out!:grouphug:


Sunday, June 7, 2pm - The Lido Market Tea Room, 7666 Lundy's Lane N. Falls

RFC on Clifton Hill?

[mc'smommy]

I could persueded.......lol

[Mickey1Fan]

More information please...I might be persuaded to travel from Toronto.

RFC?

[iluveeyore]

Anyone else have suggestions? RFC would be great as it has a 'taste' of Animal Kingdom, but parking is hard to find (and I think you have to pay), plus it's expensive. I guess it depends on how many DIS'ers respond and what dates you want to look at as to where we can meet. Niagara Falls seems pretty central to all of us in Niagara though. Any thoughts????:confused:

[boundfordisney]

i would be interested as well so will wait on the info.:thumbsup2

[trivial]

RFC?

Rainforest Cafe at the Falls.

[mermaid&cinderella]

Tempting.....what dates are you thinking of?

[spicemom]

Maybe..let's see what the plan is.

I agree with the parking problem on clifton hill. Especially with the nicer weather here, it will just be more busy....

[nat1234]

Sounds good. Just let me know the dates.:)

[disneydreamgirl]

I'm in! :goodvibes

[TLPL]

Oh there is the thread, I was still looking at the other one...
FRC sounds good, maybe we can walk across the street and ride Haunted Mansion ripoff (aka Ghost Blaster).
I think if we can pin trade when we meet would be cool, it remind me of beiing at Disney.

BTW, I'm going to Hong Kong this Sunday for a week. anyone wants anything from HKDL?

[iluveeyore]

I guess we need to pick dates - weeknights or weekends??? May or June??? I'm available May 4-31 anytime. What are everyone's thoughts and maybe we can narrow it down. Also, any ideas of where to meet that has lots of space, is inexpensive if we're eating, and where we'll be able to talk and hear each other??? Help!? :confused3

[disneydreamgirl]

My DSis owns a place on Lundy's Lane - an eclectic tea room and breakfast eatery...not licensed and not reminiscent of Disney though.

At this time of year they serve breakfast only on Saturdays and Sundays and the tea room/shop is open all week. Starting in mid-June they start serving breakfast every day of the week. Here's a link to check it out (they are updating some things as the tourist season is just around the corner): http://www.lmteas.com/ or http://www.lidomarket.com/store/?link=11

Just a suggestion as there would be no issue with parking and they are definitely not as expensive as businesses that are closer to the Falls.

[TLPL]

Tea room sounds very much like Grand Floridian to me!

[DearDaisyinDurham]

:scratchin Hmmmm......love Niagara Falls.....Dis :smickey: meet....shopping :rolleyes1 in Buffalo and/or the outlets :rotfl: sounds good to me! :goodvibes

[SandraC]

Anyone know if Victoria Cafe across from the Cdn Falls is still a cafeteria? That's a good spot if it is. S

[wtpfan]

I'm in! What a great idea "iluveeyore". I'm in Port Colborne, we're almost neighbours!

I know my family and friends are tired of talking Disney with me...They just don't get it!

I'll try to think of some "time and place" ideas and post later! I'm so excited! :thumbsup2

[wtpfan]

sorry, forgot to subscribe:confused3

[Mickey1Fan]

I think a tea room would be nice and we could support a DSis of a fellow DISer. Would we be too roudy?

A Saturday is best for me. Not May 25, maybe early June?

Time?

[Xanthe]

I'm in! I like the Tea room idea, like the quiet and the idea of supporting a fellow Dis'er. I'm not free most weekends in May (birthday and Anniversary) so June would work best for me.

Let me know!!
Xanthe

[boundfordisney]

TEA ROOM SOUNDS GOOD TO ME JUNE WOULD BE MY IDEA AND ON A WEEKEND WOULD BE BEST FOR ME HOPE WE CAN FIND A DATE THAT WILL WORK FOR US ALL!:thumbsup2

[iluveeyore]

Sounds like most are in for June, so I'm going to throw out Sunday, June 7th at 2pm at the tea room and we'll see where we go from that. Everyone chime in their thoughts!:surfweb:
Tracey

[Xanthe]

I'll check my schedule but I think June 7 works for me!

Someone mentioned pin trading; I don't have a pin collection to trade but I do have a couple vinylmations I'd like to trade for other vinylmations :)

Xanthe

[boundfordisney]

dates good for me!:thumbsup2

[mindy6540]

I would love to go! Unfortunately I will be in Disney! :woohoo:

[cdnmickeylover]

Date works for us. We will be just back from Disney and in withdrawal.

[nat1234]

June 7 sounds good to me too.

[Mickey1Fan]

I'm not sure if I can do a Sunday with church and family activites.

I'll try though.

Do we have a time? What about 1:30? (This from the girl who's not sure she can make it ;-))

[Mickey1Fan]

I'm not sure if I can do a Sunday with church and family activites.

Yep- time I suggested was 2pm. Keep RSVP'ing everyone - I'll compile a list of everyone soon - hope the tea room has enough space!!!

[disneydreamgirl]

I'm in for June 7! Not to worry, the tea room is large.

[iluveeyore]

I posted the time, place and list of attendees so far in post 1. Quick question - is everyone bringing spouses, or just the DIS'ers? My DH loves WDW, but he doesn't post or read the DIS, so I was just coming alone. I'll bring him if there's going to be DH's there, but he won't want to attend a girl's gabfest about all things DIS!

[cdnmickeylover]

My DH will be coming -- I've converted him. :rotfl:

It's actually a 2 hour drive for us so he will be coming.

I'll probably also bring a girlfriend who's into disney as well.

Fiona

[iluveeyore]

Good to know - I'll bring DH then - as long as I know he'll have one male to chit chat with, he'll be happy - he loves talking about WDW anyhow!:thumbsup2

[mermaid&cinderella]

Unfortunately that is DH birthday weekend so I won't be able to make it! have fun!

[disneydreamgirl]

I'll ask DH, but I'm pretty sure he would come. I called my DSis and we're all set up.

[TLPL]

I'll check my schedule but I think June 7 works for me!

Someone mentioned pin trading; I don't have a pin collection to trade but I do have a couple vinylmations I'd like to trade for other vinylmations :)

Xanthe

We should bring anything Disney we like to share with the group. If no one wants to trade, I am still everyone would like to check them out. Anyone else wants to do that?:idea:

[usetheforceluke]

My DH will be coming -- I've converted him. :rotfl:


Nope. Not really. Not totally either.

I still have trouble with remembering that Sleezy isn't one of the Seven Dwarfs.

Guess I'm going to be there also.

Jim.

[Xanthe]

Count me in for sure! Also, I like the idea of bringing Disney things to share....great thought.

I'll be coming alone. My DH loves Disney but does it privately...LOL.

Xanthe

[mc'smommy]

I think I am in !! The date works so far...

[nat1234]

I'll be coming alone. My DH is definitely not into Disney.:confused3 I know this is a problem but it's his problem not mine.:)

[braydensmom]

oh i wish i could go...it will be my sons 2nd birthday that day. i hope that you all have fun! If anyone does one in SW Ontario, please let me know

[justadisneygirl]

Just came back from Niagara a few weeks ago...should be about due for a trip back by then!

[boundfordisney]

HEY NAT1234 MAYBE YOU SHOULD BRING EMILY ALONG! I WILL ASK MY DH BUT NOT SURE IF HE WILL BE ABLE TO COME IF NOT I MAY BRING MOM AND MY 2 SISTERS AS BY THEN THEY WILL HAVE BEEN BACK FROM THEIR FIRST TRIP TO WDW!:cool1:

[nat1234]

HEY NAT1234 MAYBE YOU SHOULD BRING EMILY ALONG! I WILL ASK MY DH BUT NOT SURE IF HE WILL BE ABLE TO COME IF NOT I MAY BRING MOM AND MY 2 SISTERS AS BY THEN THEY WILL HAVE BEEN BACK FROM THEIR FIRST TRIP TO WDW!:cool1:
I'm not sure if Emily would want to come. She's 12 and unless it's something for her or something she wants to do, she gets bored very quickly. But I'll ask her and see if she wants to come. Sometimes it's nice to have an afternoon to myself. Maybe I'll ask Colleen, she's older and might enjoy coming with me.:)

[Xanthe]

Bump!

[iluveeyore]

Bumpity Bump - anyone else want to join us?

[wtpfan]

I will definitely be there! Can you add me to the list?

Thanks! ;)

[iluveeyore]

I will definitely be there! Can you add me to the list?

Thanks! ;)

:thumbsup2

[iluveeyore]

Just bumping to see if anyone else wants to join us and share our love of all things Disney? :goodvibes

[Jenroc]

I would love to show up - could you let me know what has been planned so far ???

[iluveeyore]

See post one for time and place - we're meeting at a tea shop in the afternoon - I think someone mentioned pin trading, or bring whatever Disney stuff you want to share. We're getting together to visit, meet face to face and discuss our love of all things DIS!!!! Hope you can make it!

:upsidedow dahhhhh How did I miss that ??!!! I will let you know for sure after the May 24th long weekend, if that is OK. I need to plan a week at a time - if you know what I mean !! Hope I can make it !!

:rotfl: Hope you can make it too - no problem letting me know after the long weekend.

[TLPL]

Boy! 4 pages already? The group is getting bigger and bigger!

[iluveeyore]

BAD NEWS ALL! I just got a new job and I have to work weekends (well it's good news for our finances!) Soooo, won't be able to make the meet - can someone who's going please take over for me so you can still all get together? I'll try and make it if I can switch with someone, but since I'm new I doubt it. Have fun!!! And let me know how it goes!!!

[boundfordisney]

JUST GOT BACK LAST NIGHT IT WAS A GREAT TRIP AND LOVED THE YACHT CLUB IT REALLY IS A BEAUTIFUL RESORT. WEATHER WAS HOT NO RAIN !LOOKING FORWARD TO THE MEET! MIGHT STAY OVERNIGHT IN NIAGRA GOOD EXCUSE FOR ANOTHER GET AWAY LOL.:thumbsup2

[boundfordisney]

OH NO WELL ITS GOOD YOU GOT THE JOB CONGRATS! MAYBE WE COULD PUT IT OFF FOR A LITTLE WHILE WOULDNT BE THE SAME IF YOU WERENT THERE. I WOULD RATHER PUT IT OFF IF THAT WOULD WORK FOR YOU WHAT ABOUT THROUGH THE WEEK ANYONE ELSE ? :confused3

[iluveeyore]

No, don't put it off - it's much too difficult to move everyone else's time around now that we settled on a suitable date. Let's leave it the way it is. Like I said, I'll try and switch with someone, but we don't get our schedules until the week before, so I'll have to wait and see. Don't worry, I'll be there in spirit, and if it goes well, maybe we could do another one towards the end of the year, like a DIS Christmas party! :goodvibes

[Xanthe]

I really hope you can make it :)

Xanthe

[boundfordisney]

WELL LETS HOPE YOU CAN MAKE IT BUT IF NOT THEN A CHRISTMAS PARTY SOUNDS GOOD TO ME:thumbsup2

[TLPL]

We just got back from out Vero Beach/FL trip, and I am in my withdraw phase now... A support group meeting is just what I need!

[Mickey1Fan]

I am not going to be able to attend. I hope everyone has a great time.

[disneydreamgirl]

Hey all! Just looked at the calendar and realized we meet next Sunday!

Is everyone still able to come? I for one am looking forward to it...

[nat1234]

The date is still good for me. I'm really looking forward to it.:thumbsup2

[TLPL]

So who is still going? Can everyone confirm? Will disneydreamgirl book the table for us with her SiL?

[disneydreamgirl]

I sure will! DH will likely come with me...

[iluveeyore]

You guys better tell me all about it! popcorn:: I still have to work :sad2:

[nat1234]

You guys better tell me all about it! popcorn:: I still have to work :sad2:

That's too bad that you still have to work, you'll be missed. Of course we'll tell you all about it. Without you getting the ball rolling, this get together wouldn't be happening at all.:)

[wtpfan]

I'm still in... Lookig forward to it!

[boundfordisney]

WILL TRY AND MAKE IT HAD SOME CAR PROBLEMS THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS BUT HOPEFULLY WILL BE FIXED BY THEN! :thumbsup2

[usetheforceluke]

It looks like cndmickeylover and I have to send regrets. Maybe next time.

Jim.

[disneydreamgirl]

Not sure how many we will end being come tomorrow afternoon, but DSis is going to have us set up in their front room...ample room and off to ourselves in case we decide to sing rousing renditions of "When you wish upon a star" or "It's a Small World", or...oh, the possibilities are endless! :lmao:

See you tomorrow for those of you who can make it and, for those of you who can't, hopefully this will be just the first meeting of the Niagara and area DisChapter!

[TLPL]

How do we ID each other? Do we all have to wear the mouse ears?:rotfl2:

[Mickey1Fan]

Good afternoon,

I hope everyone had a great time. Are there photos to be shared?

[iluveeyore]

Hi all - how'd it go? popcorn::
Thought about you guys while I was working and wished I was there! Hope you had fun and let me know all about it!:goodvibes

[disneydreamgirl]

We had fun! Just four of us and we talked Disney for 2+ hours - it was nice to be with others who understand all "worldly" things...:rotfl:

We all had trip stories to share - nat1234 (who made the trek from Hamilton) is debating whether to change resorts for her upcoming trip (just she and DD(13) - how fun will that be?!)...I hope you get a code soon!

wtpfan brought us WDW coasters for our tea (thanks again for that - I will be laminating mine to have on my desk at work (any small part of the world pleases me so!) and she shared her scrapbook (it is beautiful) and her family's most recent trip photos including photopass gems.

TLPL brought his DVC booklet which helped explain a bit of that largely mysterious area of WDW (for me at least) and shared his dilemma of which tour to take on his next trip: Backstage Magic or Backstage Safari....the consensus was BM!

I brought the D23 mags and the most recent Celebration issue as well as the new book "The Hidden Magic of WDW" hot off the press and picked up at Barnes and Noble just last weekend.

I, for one, hope this will be the first of the Niagara Dismeets...:goodvibes

[DearDaisyinDurham]

Sounds fun, hope to make it next time!!

[boundfordisney]

Glad you all had a great time ! Will be there next time around!:thumbsup2

[Jenroc]

I so wanted to make this meet but I just got my new computer and was totally out of touch with DISboards for a very long time. Sounds like you had a blast - I so need a Disney event !!!! Maybe there could be another one in the fall ???? :rolleyes1

[wtpfan]

I agree, the planning should start for a fall meet! I had a great time...Thanks so much to DisneyDreamGirl for sharing her family's tea room with us. Delicious tea!:thumbsup2
I really enjoyed meeting you guys and talking Disney!

[iluveeyore]

One in the fall would be great - so sorry I missed this one! Just don't make it between Aug. 23-Sep. 4, because I'll be in WDW!!!:cool1:

[Mickey1Fan]

The Hidden Magic of WDW is not available in Canada until June 15 or so. Neat!

I think an East End event should be planned for the GTA!

We are still waiting for photos ;)

[disneydreamgirl]

Sorry, no photos...although we should have taken some because we all had Dis-paraphernalia of some sort on! I'm in for the Fall meet as well and since I will be at WDW Sept 16-23, let's avoid that time frame too! ;)

[boundfordisney]

I would be more then happy to open up my home as a place to have a dismeet sometime in the fall. September or October , does anyone else have any sugestions on this?:woohoo:

[mc'smommy]

that is very generous of you .......

[Jenroc]

Hamilton is a great place - thanks for the offer. Anyone else have any ideas for a time ?? We should wait until after school gets back in but before Thanksgiving. (that narrows it down a bit !! lol)

[boundfordisney]

How about the first weekend of October? Either day Saturday or a Sunday. Im okay with anytime whether it be October or whenever. I figured Hamilton would be a little central for most people and Iam happy to have everyone here in my home!:cool1:

[disneydreamgirl]

The first weekend of October works for me! My preference would be Sunday afternoon, but I could do Saturday...

[cdnmickeylover]

Glad that people had a great time and am sorry that we had to miss it.

Can't do the first weekend of October though as we will be at WDW. :banana::banana:

[disneydreamgirl]

What about having it closer to Hallowe'en then...say the weekend prior?

[boundfordisney]

Weekend before halloween works for me as I said anytime would be okay with me! Guess everyone could post what works best for them then we can plan a date. Looking forward to this already!:banana:

[TLPL]

Hey everyone, it was fun meeting you ladies, thanks for sharing all the trip photos and trip experiences. I just subscribed to Celebrations magazine, I can’t wait to receive them in mail.
Here are some photos of my Animal Kingdom bathroom and Tiki guest room in my house I mentioned:

We should do this again for sure! Hopefully more people will join in next time.

[treehugnmama]

JUST A QUICK HELLO AS I am also in Niagara region. Anyone else signed up for princess half??

[Jenroc]

What about having it closer to Hallowe'en then...say the weekend prior?

Works for me .... I go to Disney the following Thursday. Talk about adding fuel to the fire !!!!

[boundfordisney]

weekend before halloween looks good so lets plan it for then!:thumbsup2

[Jenroc]

I guess this meeting will take place in Hamilton. We need to agree on Saturday or Sunday. Should we plan a dinner at a restaurant or do a potluck ???

[boundfordisney]

I think a potluck sounds great! I figured that having it at my home would be a little more laid back. If anyone wants to bring their dh or kids it would be fine by me the more the merrier!:cool1:

[boundfordisney]

Forgot to add that Saturday or Sunday is fine I leave that up to anyone else to deciede:thumbsup2

[Jenroc]

Either is fine by me !! I like the potluck - maybe I could take it one step farther and suggest that we make it a Disney potluck ??? There are plenty of cookbooks/recipe websites that can provide many of our favourite dishes from the parks and resorts. What do you think ??? :scratchin

[disneydreamgirl]

I like the idea of the Disney recipes - I've made the Boma pasta salad and it was terrific!

[Jenroc]

The Fantasia Cheesecake is to die for, the Grapefruit Cake from Hollywood Sudios' Brown Derby is good and Walt's Chili is awesome too !!

[disneydreamgirl]

I've made quite a few things from my DCookbook, love it so! I make the pretzel bread occasionally and the cheddar cheese soup quite often. It is DS' favourite. Here is a link to recipes if anyone is interested: http://allears.net/din/rec.htm

[Jenroc]

I am assuming we are going to go with the Disney-themed food too !!!

[nat1234]

I'm there for the weekend before halloween. I will try for the disney themed food. I can't make any promises though. My husband does most of the cooking in our house and since he's not really into disney, I'm not sure if he'll be impressed if I ask him to cook disney.:)

I am sure anything will be appreciated. Maybe have him check out the sites that carry Disney recipes and see if anything strikes his fancy ??!!

[nat1234]

Considering that he makes fun of what he calls my Disney "obession" I don't think that I'll ask him. I'll figure something out. I have until October.

It is all good !!! Being there is the important thing !!!

[boundfordisney]

Jenroc what a great idea, Im all in for the disney theme but anything at all will be fine to bring as the most important thing to bring is ones self! looking forward to seeing you again Nat123!:cool1:

[disneydreamgirl]

We hosted a Disney-themed family party a while back and my friend Disified wraps by adding tiny sliced gherkins to the round sliced wraps for Mickey ears. I would have never thought of that myself, but it just proves that anything can be modified to suit our collective Disobsession - no recipe required! :lmao:

[Jenroc]

Morning all !!!
Just a reminder of the chat tonight at 9pm. Just go to the link and meet up with some old friends and make some new ones !!
http://pub33.bravenet.com/chat/show.php/2760123256

[boundfordisney]

Has anyone been to the Grand Floridian for the afternoon tea? We did this on our trip in May and I just loved the russian earl grey tea. If anyone is going to wdw before our dismeet in October and would be able to pick me up a can and is planning on coming to the meet I would love to be able to serve this tea at the party. Im not that much of a tea drinker but this tea sure could turn me into one!:banana: I suppose this is now a Hamilton dismeet. great way for people to visit other Ontario areas! This could become addicting!:banana:

[cdnmickeylover]

We have been the Grand Floridian tea several times. We are tea drinkers and always have the Earl Grey. Not as good as the Twinnings Earl Grey but still pretty good. We will be down there early in October and I'll see if I can get some. Otherwise you could have the Twinnings Earl Grey that comes from the United Kingdom store at Epcot. They have all kinds of different teas.

[Jenroc]

This thread got lost !! ;) Has a decision been made as to the actual date yet ??

[boundfordisney]

Hi Jenroc, far as I gather it will be the weekend before halloween but not sure if everyone wants the Saturday or Sunday? Either is okay by me maybe we should do a poll? It s really not that far away really, seems that this year is just flyin by! First of July is upon us already! All the more closer to my next disney trip!:thumbsup2

[Jenroc]

Poll it, baby !!!! :rotfl2:

[Jenroc]

:bday: Happy 142nd Birthday Canada !!party:

[Sha]

Please forgive my intrusion to the thread.. but I am not sure where to tell friends of Jenroc some sad news (other than the forums I know her from). Jenroc passed away yesterday morning unexpectedly. I hope that you all will continue with the plans to meet up in October. She would love that you do and be there in spirit I am certain.

I am hoping to hear back from her family, and will post something under her profile (where friends can leave messages) of memorial/service information... if I can. Please check there by clicking on her ID.

Please remember her children and family in prayer.

[spicemom]

Oh my! Very sad to hear. I will remember her family in my prayers.

[disneydreamgirl]

That is so sad! I'm so sorry to hear this...I never had the chance to meet her in person, but her enthusiasm here on the Dis was unmistakable. She'll be missed here.
