[JamesD]

We would love to join you at Epcot on Tuesday evening for the Candlelight Processional. It sounds like we were planning the same thing that night! We are going to try to catch the 2nd or 3rd show using the standby line. It will be tough making it to the 2nd show at 6:45 pm if we're around the other side of the promenade catching the tree lighting. But, we've been known to do it before, it just takes some hustling! Ben Vereen is supposed to be narrating that night.

 

[RaySharpton]

That would be great, James. And you are absolutely right about the timing. I don't know what I was thinking about...lol.

The 8:15 P.M. show sounds much better. My goal is to walk and not use an ECV this time.

Thank you for your response.

Are yo going to be at the Thursday MGM WWTBAM Passporter meet? I plan on going to the first two shows and then to the MK Crystal Palace dinner DIS meet by figmentvi.

With Towncrier's help and his luck, I was able to get my chair number on the WWTBAM big screen top ten scores...lol. And Jaypd got to land in the hot seat.

Your Friend, Ray

 

[Princess Michelle]

Heather (Olena) and I are doing the CP that night but we are doing the dinner package so we'll be in the reserved area but maybe we'll see you!

I'm definitely going to join you for Illuminations after, I'm not sure about Heather but I hope she will too!

It will be nice to see you again, Ray.

 

[one_cat]

Sorry Ray, we won't be arriving until Dec 4. We are planning to do CP on December 7.

 

[RaySharpton]

That would be great Michelle. I'm gong to do the CLP on Saturday, December 6th. I'll put your name down as a CLP package and maybe we'll see each other. It will be great to see you again. I can't wait to see Olena, too. I'll put your name down for Illuminations and Olena as a maybe.

Awww...I'm sorry one_cat. I hope that we can see each other. I'll be doing the dinner CLP package on Saturday night. You'll have a great time.

 

[helenabear]

I missed this one earlier Ray, but since I plan to join you all for everything else that night at Epcot, I'd be glad to stick around and do this!

Do you have any plans for dinner that night?

 

[RaySharpton]

That's great Elaine.

I was going to try and eat something before the Epcot christmas tree lighting ceremony, but I want to make sure that I am able to reach the tree by 5:40 P.M..

Any place that interests you? I could eat at a restaurant or counter service of your choice.

Ray

 

[helenabear]

Honestly, Ray, counter service is good for me. I'm usually not too big on eating at sit downs. Something simple like the Liberty Inn, the food cour at the Land or the Electric Umbrella would work for me. But if you have anything better in mind, I'm all for it

 

[RaySharpton]

That sounds good to me. Maybe something in Epcot Future World closer to the tree. Maybe we could set a time to meet at the Pin Trading booth/ Epcot Message Board place in front of the water fountains. Then we could just play it by ear and yet be in the center of everything.

 

[helenabear]

That sounds like a great idea to me Ray! Pick a time and I will meet you there!! I will be wandering by myself that day so I am sure I will be glad to have company for dinner, wherever we may go!

 

[RaySharpton]

Elaine, I saw where the Future World Electric Umbrella counter service has a great Chicken Carsar Salad.

Then maybe we could watch the dancing water fountains and listento the music when we eat.

Then on the way to the tree, after dinner, we could stop by the children's water fountain and watch some kids of all ages try to figure out when the water will come out of the ground...lol.

Do you think that 4:30 P.M. time will be O.K..

 

[helenabear]

That sounds perfect, absolutely perfect, Ray!!! I think you just mentioned some of the things I love doing most at Epcot I can definitely meet you there at 4:30 no problem! I really look forward to this!

 

[olena]

I know Michelle and I will be making our way to the meeting site for Illuminations. I'll be with her. She can see... I'm hopeless in crowds, especially at night.

 

[RaySharpton]

Heather...if I see you after the Candlelight Processional, I'll walk with you and Michelle to the French Bridge watch Illuminations.

 

[RaySharpton]

Well...I just got off work. I need to post a few more times, finish packing, and then off to sleep...then wake up again at 5:00 P.M....work my 12 hours...come home ...shower...and drive straight to WDW. I should make it to WDW by 4:30 P.M. I'll be back on the 19th. I won't have internet access while I'm at WDW. So I won't be able to reply to my threads.

The "magic" is almost here.

I'm looking forward to meeting everyone.
