What amusement parks have you gone to?
c.

I personally like some little, out of the way place for locals in Florida called "Walt Disney World". It's a little small, but they have a few nice rides, a couple of food carts, and a hotel or two. I hope it survives.



Hey, fellow Jersian, remember Jungle Habitat?

You and Brittany can do the spinneys, she loves that stuff! I'll ride just about anything else

You are funny...

I looooove WDW! No matter how often I go, there's always something new for me to do.

You'll have to refresh my memory? Where, exactly, is this Jungle Habitat?
The Cape May Zoo near Wildwood has one... I think they call it their Savannah.

Hey, fellow Jersian, remember Jungle Habitat?

I live in PA but grew up in NJ. Was Jungle Habitat in West Milford? I don't think it was very far from where I grew up (Ringwood) and remember going there as a kid.

Just snail mailed the money order at the post office and emailed the registration! DH and I are excited about the meet! See you all on July 9th!

Yay!!!

Hey Majestic!!!

What's the new head count?

Anybody else coming???

The deadline is looming!! Only one more month to sign up for the meet!!!

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

When is the latest I can send the money? DH's job transfer is back on the table so we might be moving to England I don't want to pay for everything and not be able to attend. Man I hate it when life gets in the way of my DISing!

 

[tiggerwannabe]

I believe the payment has to be in Majestic's hands by June 1st

That would be horrible if you miss this...maybe hubby knew about the poss transfer and that's why he hedged at first ?

No I don't think he knew. He just hedges because he's an in the now kind of guy and I plan like crazy. We have been going back and forth for months on the transfer but the last I heard it was a no, it all boils down to money. However, we just got 5 huge contracts so the guys in London are going to use it as leverage. They really need the support and someone with a lot of experience. I love computers but sometimes I just want to

I guess I'll try to wait it out as long as possible. Can I still come if I don't eat? God can you tell I'm desperate for some fun.

I hope things work out for you...

I was able to sneak in my niece at the last minute last year cause someone else had backed out and offered their spot to her.

 

[Majestic]

I can't believe we are about a month away from the cutoff date......time has flown. Look at the first post for the date that I started this thread.

GET YOUR NEIGHBORS TO COME! CALL YOU RELATIVES! CALL THE ARMY!! Uhh....ok ok....

Spread the word people!

[tiggerwannabe]

Wow Fred!! Almost a year!

Any idea what the current head count is?

Hello everyone . I am always a last minute procrastinator and haven't sent my money in yet, mainly because we are going to be getting home from WDW the Saturday before the meet, and I wanted to make sure we'd be able to make the meet on the 9th, which we are, , and I wanted to see if my nephew and his friend would like to go to the meet with us. They are just turning 15 and 16, and will be at Disney with us. I'm waiting to hear if they definitely can go, so I will be paying via PayPal by the end of this week.

My question is, is there a definite decision on Dorney Park, and which day is it? This is a big factor in if the kids are going, cause they definitely want to go if Dorney Park is on the agenda. We could always take them just ourselves, but it would be more fun I think if we go with the group. I tried to find some updated info, but this thread is so long it's hard to sift through.

Thanks, Teresa

Ok, let me answer a few questions at the same time.

1) As of right now, the cutoff is June 1st. Get your payments in please! If you also haven't done so, book your room! You MUST book the room before June 1st to get the promo rate that I have arranged!!!

2) There is no "definate" for Dorney as of right now. All I know is that some people are going Saturday night after the meet and some are going Sunday. Some are actually doing both days too from what I have heard.

3) The Crowne Plaza has tickets for hotel guests at a pretty good discount rate. $26.00 per adult ticket. The hotel has advised me that there are supposedly no blackout dates for these tickets and they are only available to guests that are staying at the hotel. Any other arrangements for discounts are a work in progress. StaceyA is trying to get a list together. Try to contact her.

4) The headcount is still not where I wanted it to be but as I suspected, there are lots of people waiting to decide. When I first asked people if they would want to go I collected a list of close to 180 people. I would estimate the paid headcount to be around 60 to 70 people right now. I am anticipating at least 30 to 50 more this month alone. Maybe more if the word gets around better. Invite friends, family, and neighbors. You never know who may be interested and the more that come the better!

If I missed anything, let me know.

Have a good day everyone!!!

Fred

Hi Teresa!

My group plus (I believe) two other family groups are going Saturday night.
We plan on driving over after the meet. Dorney has a late day rate ~$17 and are open til 11.

StaceyA is working on taking a group on Sunday. As Fred mentioned, she is working on the details and ticket prices.

4) The headcount is still not where I wanted it to be but as I suspected, there are lots of people waiting to decide.

Come on everybody, get your reservations in!!!!
