We stayed at Sapphire in Feb for the Mardi Gras meetup and had such a fabulous time at SF! Beautiful resort, loves staying in tower 3, so close to the boat dock and at the end of a long day/night so easy to go to the room.
If we do not need express passes we would absolutely stay here again...
We absolutely love Hard Rock, our hotel of choice for premiers. It is $$ though. We have also stayed at Royal Pacific a few times as well, loved it, and adore the theming at RP. We love HRH for the proximity, easy walk, and just enjoyed our overall visits more there.
We are staying at...
You have some good advice, go for at least two days, stay at a premier for one night and use the express pass the 2 days. You may not hit every single thing but the majority of things you can.
Have browsed most of the thread and am semi excited about staying here in June. We last minute decided to come to the OI meetup in June and have never stayed at PB before, but it was the only hotel avail at the discount, so we are trying it out. I know it’s a beautiful hotel, and after the...
Welcome to the June Meetup discussion thread!
Are you heading to your first, third, or more meetup??
We are heading back for our 6th meetup I think lol I have lost track, but I think that’s right. Our family really enjoys them, the atmosphere, the non existent crowds and walk on rides. We...
@georgina Hey! I didn’t see this post until today :/ I didn’t even try the pre-event snacks, we were too full after the mardi gras food lol so that worked out in our favor. I heard mixed things on that, heard the second night was better as far as the food went, but we just didn’t bother. The...
Happy Sunday friends!
Whew, we had a whirlwind 2 days at the parks for the meetup and had a blast! We had a great second night, the weather was perfect, a little chilly but tolerable if you kept busy. We rode all that we wanted, ate some delicious foods, yummy drinks, and just really enjoyed...
Hello! We went to Studios around 3 pm yesterday until 11:30 pm, I was exhausted from not sleeping the night before, so we headed back an hour early lol my oldest stayed and hopped over to IOA for the last hour.
It was windy for sure all day, it did rain for an hour or so when the parks first...
DO IT! lol I am not the one to say don't do it haha, but I can understand your concern. Are you local and go often? It might not be, even though we aren't local and have AP's, we still find the meetups worth it as far as empty parks, walk on rides, the atmosphere is just different and then...
@georgina the "butler passed appetizers" are new this meetup, and I am def interested to see how it plays out with that. I am also glad to see that 4 restaurants will be open as soon as the park shuts down and not an hour later. They are listed in my post in green :) Are they fabulous places...
It's on their website, I don't think I can link here, but will send you a private message with it, if you want? It is not easy to find, I got it because someone mentioned it and Taylor posted the link.
**SUBJECT TO CHANGE**
You can find the current menu for our February 2024 Orlando Informer Meetup below, but more announcements are still to come! Additional venues and Mardi Gras specialties will be added as we get closer to the OI Meetup dates.
Timing
New in 2024, our unlimited food and...
Oh good to know! I didn't know they had different ones! My dh walked from CB to citywalk and then over to Royal to check us in while we slept in. He said it wasn't too bad, but we just stayed at CB for the night since RP wasn't available on our arrival date. I will have to remember that about...
Hello meetup friends! I have been mia, because of my college stuff and work. I finally graduated in Dec with my BS in elem. ed. I got hired mid Dec, and am officially a 5th grade teacher. I have been the teacher on record in that class since school started anyway as a long term sub, so I get to...
Did you reach out? I mean the worst they can say is no.
I will keep you posted, I try to come back and post reviews when done. We stayed at Cabana one night last year, very cute resort. I did not love the outside door access, but we were on the back of a building, corner room at the end, so...
Oh man, I am sorry. I have heard of many people being able to exchange their tickets due to things like that.
I think the sell out really depends on how in demand the events are. The mardi gras meetups have only happened a couple of times I think, this is our first one to attend in Feb... so...
