Anyone interested in a DIS/DVC meet 11/23-11/28?

[dianeschlicht]

We will be doing a Thanksgiving trip for 11 days. Anyone interested in a meet between 11/23 and 11/28? I don't really want to plan for Thanksgiving itself, and the grandkids leave on the 23.

 

[OlderMan]

We'll be at OKW Friday through Sunday after Thanksgiving--Nov 23 (arrive) through Nov 25 (depart).

We may have friends with us, but I think they'll be doing their own things.

PM me if you would like to meet sometime while we're both there.

 

[dianeschlicht]

I know there are lots of us down there that week. Anyone else interested? Maybe Sat. or Sunday after Thanksgiving?

We're there at SSR 11/20 - 11/25;
I'd certainly be up for either Friday or Saturday.

Saturday works the best for us (11/24);

Friday (11/23) daytime could work but we have dinner ADR's that night.
We leave on Sunday, so we couldn't meet that day.

Thanks for posting the thread, Diane!

Okay, so I would be most interested in Saturday as well. That seems to be when we will hit the most folks. I'll keep this bumped up to see how others feel, and we'll set a specific time and place once we have a good list.

I have arranged these meets several times in the past, and we always have a GREAT time! We don't do much except meet and visit, but it's always nice to put faces to names, and we always have DVC in common, so lots to talk about there!

 

[DMKEDM]

Count me in! (Assuming my college-age son "lets me" go--he will, I'm sure!)...

We'll be there til 11/25 as well (staying at SSR this trip)...

I would love to come see everyone!

Happy Halloween to all, and T-giving, too...

Any more? I'm going to tentatively say Saturday the 24th might be best, but I'll need some input on where and when from you folks!

 

[Ksp]

Saturday the 24th works for me - where do you think would be a good spot to meet? How many of us are at SSR-- would the Turf Club/pool table area work?

 

[larrytau]

We would like to meet on Saturday also. Staying at SSR, so Ksp's idea would be perfect. But, we can meet somewhere else too.

 

[dianeschlicht]

Yes, I like the Turf Club pool table area idea too! I need to check our schedule, because that might be the night we have Turf Club ressies too. I'll check and get back to folks later.

 

[dianeschlicht]

I do have another suggestion....Since the holiday decor is officially up by then, and WL is noted for the most fantastic holiday decor, how about if we meet by the big fireplace in the Wilderness Lodge lobby? For those of you who haven't seen it, it would be a good opportunity, and we always like to get at least one visit there each trip.

WHat do you all think??

I think that would be great! WL is so wonderful at Christmas - I love the decorations.
Just to double check - you mean the main lodge, not the villa's lobby area, right - ?

 

[Beth]

We'll be there that day, Diane - please keep us updated....

[Good Ol Gal]

hmm. what time frame are you looking at?

We'll be staying at VWL, but have dinner reservations for the Luau on that evening.

 

[dianeschlicht]

Yes, I mean the main lodge. How about 4ish? Is that early enough for everyone who might have dinner ressies?

 

[larrytau]

4is at the Fireplace would be fine, Diane. It would be nice to meet you and others. We had plans on visiting WL earlier in the week, but a second visit is always nice too.

I will bring along my mom and dad. They are in their mid-70s and this is their first visit home!

A definite "maybe" from here...our ADRs are on the other side of the World (Epcot area) at 5:30...so not sure I can make this work...but will absolutely put it on the "to do plan" and cross fingers that it will work out...

 

[Ksp]

4 works for me - our day is pretty wide open right now, so anytime would be fine.

Well, we can always make it "3:30ish", and that might help. We don't often stay much more than an hour anyway, so if you need to get to Epcot by 5:30, a bus from WL to Epcot should work nicely if you leave around 4:45.

 

[DMKEDM]

Thanks, Diane..."3:30-ish" does feel a bit more comfortable, timing-wise, than "4-ish"...I'll also call my son and see if he'd be willing to eat later (and possibly at a different restaurant) ...

Will do my best, and think it'd be wonderful to meet you-all!

Only 2 weeks from today I'll be on a plane heading south...I cannot wait!!
