[Mickey's Sister]

WOW!!!! Even more to be excited about!!!

Jessica

 

[Mickey's Sister]

Holy cow!!!

I see a lot of nice things that I and the kids would love.....too bad I'm not good with the trivia.....

I can't wait!

I'm not good with trivia either Beth. But maybe we'll get lucky.

Can't wait either!!!

Jessica

 

[Majestic]

Not just trivia!! Perhaps they will go in other ways...who knows??? Anyone got ideas for quick contests or games we could play? Email them to fred@dismeets.com.

Be aware that most of the stuff in the pictures is for kids. I tried really hard to get each paid child (Over 3 and 12 and under) a toy. Not sure how I am going to distribute them though...

Fred

Aren't we all kids??

Maybe you can "number" each package and have each child pick a number out of a box?

 

[Majestic]

That is a GREAT idea!

WOW Fred

I don't know who's more excited, me or the kids. We are at our 1/2 mark before going to VWL. This should help tie us over.

Thanks go out to you for organizing this meet!

 

[Liv2CdWorld]

That is a GREAT idea!

Does that mean I qualify for a prize?

Just kidding (well, maybe)

You are just wonderful Fred...giving each child a toy! I never even thought of anything like that!!!

Jessica

 

[Bmwdsny]

Fred, that is sooo nice of you to get the toys for all the kids...You are a Disney Santa Clause!!!

Looking forward to meet you all...almost 1 week to go!!

 

[meeshi]

Wow, I can't believe it's almost a week away, how exciting!

Fred, thanks for all your hard work!

 

[Lori-n-NY]

We are ready...printed out the map for directions, printed out the voucher, looked at the Dorney Park website a million times.
Almost ready to throw some clothes in overnight bag, gotta have bathing suit for kids.
Gathering up pins to trade or just talk about.
Now I just need to come up with a "Where am I" trivia type question.

Can't wait until next weekend....

[Sarah'sMomfrom PA]

Maybe this was already posted and I missed it....is there parking available at the Crowne Plaza and do you have to pay for it or is it free because you are attending an event there? Just curious since I haven't been to downtown Allentown since Hess's was there!!

 

[Majestic]

I thought I put it somewhere but there is parking but it belongs to the City. I believe it is under $10 for the day. Guests staying at the hotel can get a parking pass to cover that cost if I recall correctly.

Just found this on the Crowne Plaza Allentown Site:
Parking Information


Number of Parking Spaces: 525
Daily Parking Fee: $8.00 (USD)
Parking is available in a city owned & managed covered parking deck adjacent to the hotel. Charge is $8.00 per day.

The link above is from Crowne Plaza's hotel site,
it shows 10 parking options in the CP Hotel area.

~HTH~



[size=-2]Thank you Fred,

I offered my help because this is something I really enjoyed last year.
My friends and I are honored by your recognition.

[Towncrier]

Do you know if any of those outlying lots are any less expensive? Or should I just bring an extra $16 along on the trip?

 

[tiggerwannabe]

The closest one "Colonial" should be the $8 adjacent lot StaceyA mentioned.

StaceyA also said it has over 500 spots, IMO we should be fine.

 

[Towncrier]

I wonder if they have an AARP discount for us older Disney fans.

(I'm just kidding - You needn't reply - I'm just having a bit of fun)

See you soon!!!

I just called Colonial

The parking for Crowne is right behind the hotel, the $8 (I believe) Fred said.

The person I spoke to said she's four blocks away on 4th and Chew streets and they charge $5.50 for all day parking.

The Colonial shown on the hotel map across from the hotel is an office

I'm glad I called...

Towncrier,
I will be glad to see you to thank you in person for the DIS button you made for me a few years back!
Unfortunately after many wears it was lost while on the Dinosaur ride!
I just hope one day Im going through the ride and I see a Dinosaur wearing a StaceyA button!
