The Jerzy Meet will be August 30th at 12 noon at the Rainforest Cafe in Menlo Park Mall. Please reply to this post if you are attending and how many people will be coming with you (including kids vs. adults). All are welcome. We will meet in front of the restaurant by the Rainforest Cafe logo towards the side (which is inside the mall). I will have my DIS Unplugged shirt on.
Here is information about the Rainforest Cafe in Menlo Park Mall. There is a Disney Store in this mall for those who are interested.

We had a NJ, PA, and DE meet back on Feb 28, 2009. We held it at the cherry hill mall. They have a disney store there and the mall recently remodeled adding a parking garage. It was fun organizing the last meet but I'm pregnant now and haven't been able to get things organized. I'd love for someone else to take over so I can attend. :thumbsup2
Here is a link to the thread we used to organize the meet. Hope you can use some of these ideas.

Greg and I enjoyed getting to meet a couple of our cruise mates at the meet (Kathy and Jen). We have no kids so we don't need any "stuff", but as long as the date is convenient, we'll try to be there! :thumbsup2

Menlo would work a bit better for me - at least I know how to get there. =)
OTOH, if you're looking for something with a Disney feel, on the other thread I saw a comment about meeting at GA, and then I remembered there's a Disney Store Outlet at the Jackson Outlets.

Hi Lois!

ooo, editing - Menlo Park's only about an hour from me, virtually next door!
*NikkiBell*
08-13-2009, 03:37 PM
I wanted to try something a bit different than Cherry Hill Mall. I think that would be difficult for the northern NJ people to get to. I thought Menlo or Freehold might be more centrally located. Jackson Outlets (with the Disney Outlet store) is 10 minutes from Freehold Mall so that is another idea.
I wish there was a Houlihan's around that area. The only thing I can think of is TGIFriday's which is near Freehold on Route 9. There's a Ruby Tuesday at Freehold Mall that might be an option along with a Cheesecake Factory which is impossible to get into.
Keep the ideas coming everybody! I was hoping to do something somewhat less complicated than the last NJ et al meet; just a friendly gathering for good company and conversation.
EDIT: Just had another thought...
Menlo Park has a Champs there which has always been great when I got together with colleagues. The menu is pretty good and they have a bar. There's also a Rainforest Cafe at that mall. Thoughts?

ArielRae
08-13-2009, 03:45 PM
Having a meal at a resturant will be difficult if alot of people want to attend. Also people will want to bring their kids too so it has to be kid friendly for a meet that may be hours long. Might want to think food court at the jackson outlets where the disney store is or some where open.
*NikkiBell*
08-13-2009, 03:46 PM
True, true. I do know that they have Indy meets (with obviously not a huge amount of people, but enough) at Houlihan's so it definitely can be done.

Why not make a day of it at six flags or hershey park? make it worth traveling and fun for the kids!:confused3
ArielRae
08-13-2009, 03:55 PM
I would be up for a six flags meet. I know the kiddie area called bugs bunny national park is never packed and has that covered theater that we can use to sit and talk in. The shows don't last long and then it is empty for a while. Just not sure how many would be willing to pay to enter for the day.
*NikkiBell*
08-13-2009, 03:57 PM
Neat idea! I don't know if people would be willing to pay though. I was thinking of something a little bit more relaxed and cheaper. Plus, the park is packed right now because of it being summer and the hours are going get sketchy in the fall.
Would Rainforest Cafe be an option?

Jersey Freeze? (Sorry, that is just one of my favorite places) Also the Freehold Mall has the carousel, which I know my son likes.
I didn't realize there was a Rain Forest Cafe at Menlo. That could be fun. If we were in NJ I would probably come (Menlo or Freehold), but the chances of that are pretty small.
WaDiWo
08-13-2009, 04:10 PM
awesome!
menlo park, freehold both great choices ...
NikkiBell, I assume you mean the Rainforest Cafe at Menlo Park? That's a great idea ... it'll remind us somewhat of Disney. I'm trying to think off the top of my head a meeting place at Freehold, the thing that comes to mind is that Carousel in the Food Court ...
but yeah, i think my vote is for the rainforest cafe at menlo.
When are you planning to do this NikkiBell?

I second Jersey Freeze! Heheh yum! I met Bruce Springsteen there 5 years ago! Freehold mall is also super close for me. I am trying to think of some sort of place where you could actually make a reservation or inexpensively reserve a group space. A Diner? That's very jersey! Or if it's still nice out we can all meet at like a park... There is Holmdel park which is real nice and has a Farm.

Of course this is open to ALL DISers! Why would I want to exclude anyone?? :)
Okay so it sounds like Rainforest Cafe is a strong option. Great!!!
Next bit of decision-making regards the date. I was thinking on a Sunday because most people work. If not, early afternoon during the week might be another idea if it is during the summer.

I live just outside Belvidere (Warren County NJ), just across the Delaware River - Edison is about 1 hour 20 minutes from Bushkill, it's about an hour from where I am. It's the closest of the places mentioned.
*NikkiBell*
08-14-2009, 09:45 AM
Okay, Rainforest Cafe it is! The restaurant is located in Menlo Park Mall which I think is a beautiful place to eat and shop. There's lots of great stores there and yes, they do have a Disney Store.
I think Sunday sounds like a safe day for everyone. When's Labor Day? I don't have a calendar.

Freehold the town is just to the west of the part of NJ where the shore points are. Does that make any sense?
Since a picture is worth a thousand words, it's where the A is on this map.

You can see Edison (where Menlo Park Mall is) to the north & west of Freehold.

Just be sure if your looking for the freehold mall you call it freehold raceway mall its actual name. They have a horse track there. My grandmother took a bus to visit us and went to the freehold mall where we told her we'd meet her and they took her to a strip mall called the freehold mall that was a few miles down the road from the real freehold raceway mall that she really wanted to meet us at.

We were at the one at Cherry Hill Mall. There were quite a few of us. Do you think a restaurant could handle all that? It seemed to work out in the food court because people really didn't sit down - we walked around and mingled. I think this would be hard in a restaurant, especially with kids. I don't want to be critical (because I appreciate that you're coordinating all this!), it's just food for thought.
Thanks Nikki!

I really don't have the time in my schedule to coordinate events and such like the last meet had. If someone wants to take this over and organize that type of meet, please do. :)
Otherwise, I am game to meet at RC on the 30th. Just let me know.

We had a great time today!
Thank you Nikki for getting this all set up! :thumbsup2 I am so sorry you weren't feeling well enough to come. I hope you are doing better now. And Maddykins06, I hope Maddy is feeling better too!
We ended up with a group of 10. That made for a good sized group to enjoy lunch and chat and share stories- all Disney of course. ;) Then we headed to the Disney Store following lunch for some browsing (and some purchases!).
And I think everyone of us all met each other for the first time! That was fun.
I am so looking forward to getting back together again with everyone at either DAP or PCC2.0 (or both!).

All in all, a good time was had by all. :dance3:

I was able to attend the meet with my family. I had a GREAT time. It was great to meet people and make new friends. Can't wait to see everyone at DAP!
Sorry you couldn't make it Nikki. I hope we can meet up another time. Hope you are feeling better.

Oh Nikki - thanks so much! We really had a good time today - it was our first time at any Rainforest cafe - and meeting new Dis friends was really fun. Thanks for posting the picture Linda - looks good to me - I've never posted a picture either. We're looking forward to seeing you all again - either at another meet - or on the cruise next year!!!:woohoo:

Nikki thank you so much for setting up the meet. We had a really nice time. I have a photo or two to post but need to find cable or card reader first. They will be up tomorrow.

When you click to make the photo larger, there is an icon on the bottom right of the photo that says something like "post this photo in a forum". Click that and choose a larger pixel size. Oh lala! Big photo! :goodvibes:goodvibes

Oh - I live in NJ and LOVE Disney. I am generally on the wedding board and theme park board but happened to find this. Sorry I didn't know about this. I would have loved to attend - if you are open to other Disney lovers attend.
Please post if you do this again.

We did! I'm sure there will be another one; just not sure of the when.
I will get myself into big big trouble if I started pin trading. :lmao::rotfl2:
I do get myself a few commerative-type ones but nothing along the lines of collections.

I will get to a FB page soon (there is a "FB lite" out there?), but I did start a Twitter page and I will definitely tweet from the parks. I'll make sure i know what I'm doing before I get here! :laughing:
