DIS Dads in December - Let the Party Bus Roll!

[stopher1]

1. AP
2. Rope Drop
3. Nap? what's that?
4. When I decide to leave. Sometimes at park closing, sometimes earlier

Obviously I am not one in the group to be totally concerned about, except that I'm not there all week. I'll only be there from 12/5 (probably early afternoon - not sure yet since SWA's schedule for then hasn't yet been released - but very soon - on or around 6/15 it will be) - 12/5 through 12/8 (again, not sure of travel schedule yet).

I do want to make the WL Groupies meet (looking to be on the 7th at this point in the evening, but that's still a bit in flux too. Having an AP I have the flexibility of going anywhere. On my solo trips I tend to hop around here and there anyway, so it doesn't bother me. (One solo trip last year I was in every single park, plus a water park and DTD all in the same day - and yes, I rode stuff in each park and enjoyed some of the water park's attractions as well.) So moving from one place to another to accomodate meeting times really doesn't bother me.

Sorta along with Stopher...nice part about being only a couple hours away and fishing down there all the time is that I kind of come and go as I please---also, at my new Field Office I'll be heading to (Southeast), I have two guys who work for me in Orlando....

I just happen to have to "drop in" on them right about this time.....

As it gets closer and it's underway, I'm flexible enough to go anywhere, anytime...no worries here.

I'd better not...that's what they do on normal workdays, so they'd better find someplace else to be OFO....someplace like, Universal...

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

1. Park Hoppers
2. Early
3. No Naps
4. Early in the week, late. Late in the week earlier.

My Mother died last year and with some of the money from the inheritance I received, I am taking the family to the world for Christmas. It will be 8 of us, so it’s a Grand Gathering. Everybody in my signature will be going.

So here is what is panned for my group.
Flying in Sun Nov 28th and going to MK for MVMCP
Mon the 29th HS – SciFi 4:00pm
Tues the 30th Epcot –Hoop De Doo 5pm Campfire sing along and movie
Wed the 1st Mk Tony’s Good Morning Breakfast 9am
Thur the 2nd Epcot Princess Storybook Breakfast Norway 9:35am
Fri the 3rd AK Whispering Canyon 6:40pm
Sat Boma 9:15am and whatever park we like to visit again. Flying home late.

<<Rastafari Voice>> I be flexible mon <<Rastafar Voice Off>>

Some of you guys are coming A LOT farther than I am..plus I have to at least see my agents one day, and I'll probably bring the boat and hit Toho while I'm down too.....**GRIN**

I don't want to stomp on anyone's family vacation, so I'll hook up with you guys when the events are set....

 

[Disney Commando]

Most of the events should be fairly easy to pull off, mostly a timing,what day, and on some what park or event (MVMCP, Osborne lights)

The only one's that are alittle tricky are ; The Grand Marrshalls & being picked for opening a park (alot of time still left to figure something out)
