20050709 North East US DISMeet July 2005 - Allentown PA

[Amy]

We might be able to come, depending on the dates. Haven't been to the eastern end of the state for a while. Keep us posted as plans progress.

 

[Laura24]

than expected. I am definitely interested. Allentown would be a great place for this. There are plenty of hotels in the area. I think a poll is needed to get an idea of how many potential attendees there will be!
Hey Andy...do you think we could get RAE to join us?

I don't know, but I could ask her.

Ok, everyone, can I please have a reply here in this thread with a semi-firm head count.

I would also like to know if you will want a room and for how many nights.

I am working with a hotel at the moment and need to get an idea. Remember, it would be me signing contracts and I won't do that without firm confirmations.

When the time is right, I will start collecting pre-payments from everyone who wants to attend. Due to the fact that it's my neck on the line for payment, these pre-payments are non refundable. Even if you cannot attend. I hope you all understand.

More info as soon as I can assemble an approximate head count. Let's spread the word about this meet everyone!! The more the merrier!

I understand about the non-refundable,I wouldn't expect it any other way!

My DH and I will attend, he already said OK, he's not backing out now...LOL

We will need a room, for the night of the party.

Could you please let me know the dates you are thinking of?

Accroding to Fred, the possible dates are:
6/25/05 or
7/9/05 or
7/16/05
somewhere in Allentown.

Waiting to hear from Fred, written in stone when exactly and what place....

Count us in Fred, for the 4 of us possibly 6 of us....Don't need any hotels since i live 20 mins away!

 

[tiggerwannabe]

~Definitely 2, possibly 4~
depends on the actual date.

~No hotel for us~
as of right now.

 

[Starz723]

This sounds like fun!! Id love to go, but I dont have a car. Perhaps I could carpool with someone and help out with the gas/tolls. Once I see the exact date I can block that date out for my calender.

I live in Brooklyn, NY right off the belt parkway Exit 5 just before going to the Verazanno Bridge.

Carpool anyone. Anyone coming from Long Island or Queens?

 

[Tanya]

Count me and John in with the kiddies... Meghan is 4 and Thomas is 1.

Don't think we need a hotel but will let you know.

I see it says anyone can come, but I am from another board! Does that still count?? I always love meeting up with fellow Disney fans, so I bet it would be a great time!! I live in South Jersey, so its only about an hour and a half for me

I see a few others posted their age, so I guess I will too, I am 31, my wife Jenine is 28 and we have a 19 month old boy named Masen.

I remember reading about the NJ meet and it sounded like lots of fun. I think its cool you all get together like this!! I hope to meet you all next year!!

You are here now! You are a member of this family! LOL
You are all welcome!!

 

[WDWDennis]

Well thanks Stacey!! That sure was fast!! I look forward to meeting everyone.

Actually, I see that your countdown is close to mine. Maybe I'll see a lot of you at MouseFest first!

 

[Debbart]

I'm a definite for four and we don't need a room

 

[Mickey's Sister]

This sounds like a Great time - count me in - 2 of us for sure, myself & my son. I may bring more family members, with whom I travel to Disney. I don't think I'll need a room, I'm only max. 30 minutes from Allentown (Lehighton PA). Though depending on the length of the party...where it is held...I may want to stay at a hotel. Party prices sound reasonable.

Fred, thank you so much for all the work you're doing!!! If I can help at all please let me know.

Just a note...if you had a large enough group for Dorney Park on Sunday, they put together a nice catered picnic-style meal with your own reserved pavilion. Everyone in your party receives a bracelet which admits you to the private pavilion area. They usually have the food available all afternoon. I'm not sure of the cost , but it might be worth looking into.

Again, feel free to contact me for any help you might need. Thanks again!!!

Hi Mickey's sister...I'm from Jim Thorpe

 

[Mickey's Sister]

Hi Debbart! Or I should say "Hi Neighbor!" My Dad, as well as many ancestors on both sides of my family came from Jim Thorpe. Plus I used to work there - in the Court House. Dad grew up on North Street - many years ago - he's been gone for almost 8 years. I LOVE Jim Thorpe. I had in-laws visiting this past week & that's one of the places I took them. Small world isn't it? We'll definitely have to look for each other at the DIS meet next year!! Should be fun.

[Mickey's Sister]

Hi Otto's Doll

I think we will have a lot of fun. Can't wait to meet everyone! I see you have kids in your picture - I'll be bringing my son who will be 11 next year. How about you?

Jessica

 

[Otto's Doll]
