Since we are not staying on property I can't make my ADR's as easily as the rest of you...but so far...11/28 at 9:10 ( I wish it was earlier) we are eating at Crystal Palace on 12/1 we are eating at 1900 Park Fare at 5:45. going to do the Cinderella thing for Lauren and a pre birthday celebration. I am still hoping to get Ohana's for Saturday 12/4 on our last night. I sure do hope to meet some of you guys at least in passing on this trip! We are going to have to exchange cell numbers or something so we can text back and forth maybe.

So with all your back and forth about ADR's - and MVMCP nights, and the like... prior conversations about possible breakfasts, or the like...

are you gonna try and have some thing or a time for everyone to be able to meet up? Or are you just trying to get together onesie-twosie based on individual family preferences? I've been reading along, but now am confused and not sure what your overall plan is.

I'll be there and would love to hang out and meet any of you all... but I'm also coordinating with the WL Groupies for a meet during the same trip. Like the Dads, there are about 10-12 different Groupies that will all be there at or during the same week for a number of days. The Groupies are planning an actual meet where everyone will be there at the same time.

So basically I'm saying I'd love to do both... but not sure what the Dads are actually planning on doing.

Since I'm goin' solo, my only real agenda will be whichever meets I come up with and if there's anything cool I'd like to do that comes up. I'm not making ADR's, nor am I particularly concerned about where I am on any given day. I realize that this is very, very different than any of you - except for Christian if he indeed still ends up going. I'm not trying to be a pain - but was just wondering about it all. It's not like I sit around and think about going to Walt Disney World or anything every day or anything...

by no means do i want to be in charge or quarter back this thing.(to guote stopher " i love to delgate work.) maybe with all that is going on with the dads going. adrs, dif. vacation styles etc..., what if we pick a few dates (maybe 3) name a meeting spot in one of the parks and see how many dads we can get together for a meet and a pic. at one time. the rest of the time we can do the texting thing as we go? it would be a shame if the dads that go, all are there at the same time and not even get to meet eveyone. we seem to talk to each other just about everyday, and we are from all dif. ends of the country and to be in the same 24 square mile area. even just for a quick visit. steve, goherd, will be there yet the day i arrive and ill be able to meet up with him somewere along the way im sure. please, any other ideas, throw them out there!!

Your right Chis it is a little confussing right now

I'll volunteer to try to orchestrate some events, The main things I would need to know from everyone going is 1- what type of tickets everyone has (single park, PH or AP) 2- what time everyone is ready to hit the parks in the a.m. 3- If anyone goes back to the room for naps (estimated time) 4- what time you usally go back to the room for the night.
Then I can see if we can put some events together with as many Dads as possible

1- PH
2- 8am
3- no
4 - 11pm - 12am

 

[GoHerd1028]

1. Park Hopper
2. 8:30am ish
3. no naps allowed on vacation
4. We will get back to room on park days around 10 or 11

We will usually do a park every other day and let the kids rest up the day after and hit the pools...however, being in December I am sure pools wont be an option this year.

[Disney Commando]

If anyone has any other Event Suggestions (other then the one's on page 1 )please post them so they can be added to the list.

 

[FreezinRafiki]

1. Kind of a hodge-podge of tickets. My family will probably get APs, the other family will have a mix of Give-a-day, get-a-day tickets (non PH) and regular tickets.
2. Rope Drop
3. Naps? On Vacation?!? I agree with Steve.
4. Park Closing.

This is our first trip with kids so I'm not to sure what to expect, but this is how I see things playing out...

1- Single Park
2- Rope Drop
3- Yes, around noon or 1 pm
4- If naps were successful, 8 or 9. If not, more like 7.
