Anyone interested in MI DVC/DIS meet?

[prncssjas]

Since we now almost into summer and the wonderful season of barbequing, I thought it might be fun to have a DIS meet for Michiganders who will NOT be at WDW this summer! I figured, if we can't be there, why not have some DIS fun here?? ;)

Perhaps if we have enoungh interested people, can make this work! I was thinking something for the month of July?? I am in Dearborn-FYI. Please respond if you think this would work! :D

[kamgen]

YES!!!! Count us in! We talked about this last fall, but could'nt seem to get it to work!
Keep me posted cause dh and I would love to meet other DVC people!!! :)

Don't forget about your newest DVC members from Michigan.

Count us Dexter folks (NE of Ann Arbor) in.

Hey Kurt,

I live right on the Washtenaw/Livingston County line. Perhaps the meet should be in Pinckney or at Zukey Lake Tavern????! ;)

Probably not convienent for the rest of the folks, but would work for us.

We would love to do the DIS meet this summer!! I think the last one was out at Great Lakes Crossing. July would be good..any weekend but the 13th!! :earsboy:

[cseca]

Sounds good! We'll definitely try to make it if there is one!

[prncssjas]

Hi everyone! So let's try and figure what would be central location! Does anyone know? I think this would be great!! Once we figure out a location, then we can choose the date. Did those of you who attended last year's meet at Great Lakes Crossing find that convenient? Looking forward to hearing everyone's input!

:D

[Dave M]

Great Lakes Crossing would work great for us.;)

[kamgen]

GLC is fine for us too, but it seems like it would be really busy! I was not able to attend the last meet and would love to hear how it was.

Maybe we could come up with a place where we could be more organized and have it just for us instead of something so crowded already.
Just a thought. :)

Any ideas??? :)

[lkenyon]

Hey - Count us in!

[shelbyjosh]

Maybe once we have a date set and an approximate number of people coming, we could make ressies at a restaurant? Maybe a place at GLC or near there? I am sure there is something casual out that way? Maybe like Ruby's or Applebee's? I know Rainforest Cafe at GLC takes reservations. I am not sure how many people would be game for that? Hey, it could be like going to RC at DD???? Just a thought.. I am sure there are other posters out there that have not replied to this.

Thanks Michelle for the heads up on the possibility of a Michigan DVC gathering. I, too, would be interested. I have a 9 day period when I am in Cocoa Beach (trying to arrange some WDW time too!!) due to our son being in the National AAU bball tournament. So let me know the date and I'll do my best to be there.

[prncssjas]

BUMPING UP for more replies!! Any one else?

Shelbyjosh--I LOVE the RFC at GLC. And it's great that we could make ressies there as well--it would feel like eating at the Marketplace! :D

So how about it everyone?? Our meet can be at Great Lakes Crossing, Rainforest Cafe--and what date??!! A Saturday or Sunday?? What month--July or August? PLEASE post what works for you so we can get this organized!! I am excited--I can't wait to meet everyone!! :D

[sanddune]

I and my family would love to have a DIS meet. Can't wait to meet more friendly faces!!

[Dave M]

Sunday afternoon in August would work best for us.;)

[shelbyjosh]

Hey Dave..wanna carpool? You are a stone's throw away! Well let's get something planned so we can make those ressies at RFC, if that is ok with everyone? I agree with Jas, it wil be just like we are at DD!!

[kamgen]

Sunday afternoon in July or August is fine for us.

I am going to take a stab here and pose August 5.
What do we think of that???

Thanks Prncssjas for taking the lead on this! Should be fun!!

[prncssjas]

Hey everyone! August 5th sounds find to me Kamgen! How about everyone else?! I hope this date and place works out--I would really like to see everyone get together....

We can all wear name tags, all family/friends welcome...YEAH!

Please respond!!! Thanks!! :D

[Dave M]

The August 5th date will work for us.;)

[shelbyjosh]

Sounds like a good date for us! How does the RFC sound to everybody? Any other ideas?:sunny:

[mamalu]

Would a Disney Fan from Toledo Ohio be welcome?

[sanddune]

August 5th is ok with us! Rainforrest is also fine with us!! The kids love that place! Hope everyone can make it. (We have five in our family)

[LisaR]

My family would love to get together with everyone! We live in Dearborn, also. August 5th at the RFC sounds great. However, we should probably get a head count. I know they take ressies but if we have a LOT of people it will be hard to get that big of a table. It is also very hard to socialize with people at opposite ends of the table. If there are that many people, maybe a park/picnic thing would be better. JMO! I will go with whatever everyone decides!

family of 4!

[prncssjas]

Ah ha! LisaR--good point. Let's start a new thread with HEAD COUNT in the title and we'll see how many people want to go. If it's a reasonable count, then we'll do the RFC but if not, perhaps we should consider moving it elsewhere.

Mamalu! Of course--you are more than welcome to attend...Toledo is close enough! :D

So what do you guys think about August 5th...any one NOT able to make it?!! I would love to hear more replies!!!

[kamgen]

I agree with Lisa about the park idea. It is hard to socialize with people at RFC because it is usually so crowded.

Prnssjas, you may want to call the RFC and see if they could accomodate a very large group. Maybe they could give us the first ressie time, so there wouldn't be many other people in there. If they open at 11am, we could have it then and we would probably take up most of the restaraunt. We could get tables together in a cluster instead on one LONG table.
Just ideas. :)

I would be happy to help organize it. Please let me know! You can email me directly at

[Dave M]

The park idea sounds better than the RFC. The RFC is normally very crowded. Mid afternoon would also be better for those that may be coming from afar. ;)

[kamgen]

A new thread was just started to get a headcount and some preferences from people!
Please check it out!
