20050709 North East US DISMeet July 2005 - Allentown PA

[Lori-n-NY]

HI Stacey A...

I got a flyer from Dorney Park too. I requested it a while back and never gave it another thought about it not showing up....but now it has.

I'm ready for July...got my mapquest directions...233 miles 4 hours 3 minutes at 59 MPH...who dirves that slow? We should make it in about 3 hours 20 minutes.

Hotel reservation done, DISmeet money paid, not much else to do, this will be easy compared to the long trip to WDW we take. Only a change of clothes and soem cash for Dorney Park.

Give me a yell sometime.

See everyone is July...bring your pins to show or trade.

I haven't seen one, sounds like a good idea....I only realize people are going from this thread or seeing the link in someones siggy.
I can't wait to meet everyone!

I'm also curious as to where people are coming from. I'm going to start a new thread for that and hopefully people will check it and reply. At one point this weekend trip for me was going to be my DIsney fix fo rthe summer BUT I am going for 4 days in June becasue Southwest had such cheap airfare I could not pass it up. I will be in WDW for 10 days in May too. If anyone is looking for any pins let me know. I would be happy to pick them up for you.


Please check the new thread..."Roll Call for the Allentown DISmeet..."

I see that many of you are going to Dorney park Sunday. Are you guys getting a group rate or paying your own??

Hi there,
At one point I had mentioned that I would look into a group rate if I knew how many people were going but I hadn't gotten any feedback on that....also I have to double check but I think that I would need an exact headcount on those going and payment up front...I will look into it again on the site and get back here with what I find out....

 

[StaceyA]

I just checked the site and it appears that to get a group rate you have to have at least 20 in your group and the tickets have to be pre-paid.
I have signed up to get more info so someone should call me, or I should get something in the mail.
Once I find out the details I will post them here.

I was over on the who's going thread...

And it seems there's are a few people going to Dorney that Saturday night.
~The evening pass is only $14~

This is an FYI for anyone else who might be interested.

Majestic
Another heads up~I'm adding my 16yo DD and paying for her via paypal.

My issue, she's not a real meat eater-she's more of a nugget and mac n cheese kind of girl.
May I pay for her at the regular price and have her signed up for the kids buffet?​

I have all the details, if anyone is interested please PM or Email me....I don't want to post a long winded thread here....
Just drop me a quick note and I will respond with all the details!

I would love to see a huge group of us at Dorney the next day!

If people are going to Dorney Park on Sat and spending the night because you live far away what are you going to do Sunday?
Dorney Park is cheaper Sat after 5. It is $16.95 and the park is open until 11. Thats 6 hours It is $20 cheaper for the same amount of time that I would get on Sunday. On Sunday it opens at 10 and I would need to leave by 4 or so to get home.

So I'm thinking Saturday might be a better chioce. If our gathering ends around 5 and the park is only a few minutes away then it makes sense. Not sure how many people are looking to do the water park stuff but in July it stays warm and light out late enough to get that in too.

FYI It is $8.00 to park.
Check out the park and see what you think, Sat for 6 hours or Sunday?

I will need to do something Sunday before heading home..any suggestions?

We're doing the ride side of Dorney on Sat night...
I shant be driving home with a wet bum

The last time I was there...umpteen years ago...dorney park and wildwater kingdom were two seperate admissions. I checked to see if you could just do one side on Sunday and that option is gone.
