Hi gang....
We are going to stay the night and go to Dorney Park the next day, will there be many others attending the park the next day?

Maybe we can get group tickets? I checked the site and didn't see anything about group tickets...but that doesn't mean they don't have them.

(Edited to add: I did find a section of the site that has group tickets, but to get more info they need an aprox headcount.
Fred, if you want me to look into it I can)

I thought I would drop in and let you all know that lots has been going on with the meet plans and I can let a couple of things out of the bag now.

1) We are adding another special guest! His name is Len Testa and he is quite involved with the book that we have all read at one point or another. The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World!!

Len also runs the site www.touringplans.com.
The site provides customized theme park touring plans designed to minimize the time you spend waiting in line. Using sophisticated computer software, they create custom touring plans that will save you up to five hours of standing in line per day in some of the world's most popular theme parks.

A data collecting, research, and programming arm of the Unofficial Guide Series, TouringPlans.com programs created the touring plans found in the 2003 through 2005 editions of the Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World . To do this, they collected literally thousands of pieces of information on every attraction, show and restaurant in Walt Disney World. Using this data, they can accurately forecast when to visit your favorite attractions to minimize your wait in line.

2) We have a new sponsor for the meet! Please join me in welcoming My Orlando Limo Inc!! The Orlando area's latest and greatest transportation company. We had the opportunity to use them on our last trip and were quite blown away! Excellent service. To top it all off, they are donating 3 round trip Super Stretch Limo trips to any Disney Resort and back to Orlando International Airport. These trips will be given away as prizes at the meet and have a value of $200 each! Now THAT'S COOL! You can have a chance to arrive at your choice of hotels in a Super Stretch Limo! (Break out the cameras for that one!) They have also agreed to give any guest attending a coupon off of their next Towncar or Limo rental. $5 off of a towncar rental and $10 off of a Limo rental. Not bad eh?

There's still ONE BIG GRAND PRIZE that I have been working on but can't say what it is yet. (I know, isn't that mean of me???)

What more can you ask for? A nice afternoon with lots of friends who all love Disney! All of the special guests and prizes are just icing on the cake!

There's more to come too! Each day, the meet gets better and better! Space WILL become limited at some point so get in while you can. Don't wait for the last minute!

Of course, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Fred

Hi There Fred,

I too am waiting for the final count for some family and friends. Would you rather I pay NOW for the folks that I'm sure of , or wait to pay when I have my final count?

Thanks,
Carla

 

[ElenitaB]

Well that would be me!!!! I have a van so I have room for 7 but it would probably be just me and my then 5 year old going so I certainly have the room for some passengers!

We're also right off the Belt... either the Broooklynites can travel together or we can make a Long Island contingent. I'm fine either way (I'd be more than willing to help with gas/tolls).

It would be myself and my DS - 9.

Reading through the thread to see if a final date has been decided (June 26 would be perfect for us).
