DIS/DISUnplugged/Dreams December Event Info DISapalooza

I like the sound of breakfast/brunch Tod. I've always wanted to do the HOB. Being that a number of us are staying over at SSR, it's a short walk.

Another thought is to wait and see where the Team is having the Sunday recording. If it is at one of the resorts (Swan/Dolphin/Gaylord), plan of having brunch there. Yes, it will not be the same as HOB but it will save time and not having to rush around to get someplace. Just a thought.

Agreed. But since they are being ULTRA TIGHT LIPPED about it, I was just tossing out some fodder.

Sooo...now that I am confirmed to go...

I need touring plans people...i'm late to the game here...lol

Friday 12/11 - DATW
Saturday 12/12 - DIS Party
Sunday 12/13 - Anyone for MVMCP?

I had a thought. I know. Rare. Anywho. If Sunday is to be a non-park day and assuming the podcast recording would be in the afternoon (heaven knows they are not morning folks) what about doing Gospel Brunch at House of Blues? Just tossing it out there. I wasn't thinking about trying to plan a bunch of meals like last time, but this just came to me. If we are out late on Saturday with the Podcast Party, we can sleep in a little and then mosey over to brunch at DTD...it also allots time for me to swing by and check out the Mr. Potato Head pieces at the toy shop....and the pin shop....and the World of Disney....and Tren-D...and...........

And if the podcast recording is at a resort...then that would solve the problem of getting from one resort to another....(unless they have it at Gaylord Palms or another off site location...)

Just an idea. What does anyone else think?

That is a great idea Todd. I've always wanted to do the GB at HOB. Even better with DIS'er friends. And Kathy has an excellent suggestion to wait for more info. Never seen Gaylord Palms so I could be in for that.

Our Sunday is somewhat up in the air. Right now we'll be transitioning from VWL to SSR on Sunday AM unless our waitlist comes through for the extra night we added. We are talking about doing MVMCP Sunday night.

I need to check out the Mr. Potato Head stuff.

Admit it George, you would rather get a box full of my little pony stuff!!

Flight times SUCK! There's only one non-stop flight from Indy to Orlando on the 11th, but it doesn't get in until 1:40pm!

AirTran has a non-stop from Indy to Orlando that leaves at 7 a.m. and arrives at 9:10 a.m. @ $63 + taxes.

Why didn't anybody show me the My Little Pony section????

 

[dpuck1998]

Because you didn't have a 4yo girl with you!! They can smell My Little Pony from 1000 yards!

Me like pony.

That's freakin awesome!!!! That's a great deal!!

OK...so let's just say they do have the recording at Gaylord and such...is there any kind of transportation for those people who don't have a car??

Also...for those of us traveling from Detroit Metro, what time are you leaving? I have class that day that ends at 12. So...I'm thinkin maybe a 3pm flight should do...or maybe I'll be bad and miss class that day and schedule an early flight for about 9/10am and get there about 12/1pm...I don't know.

I just wanted to get an idea of what time peeps were leaving!! Thanks

Plus..with this being my first time flying...I want someone to be on the plane going to the same place as me...that way I feel better!!!

Some people will have cars, but if there aren't enough, I am sure there will be enough people to split a taxi for next to nothing.

As for flying, I am taking Thurs. & Fri. off and leaving Thurs. morning. I go through Chicago (first time on Southwest). When it comes to skipping class, I think that would have to depend on how you feel about the course. And how much missing a class will affect you.

Are you flying out of DTW? Have you priced other airports, Cleveland? (Do they have an airport?) It may be worth the extra miles in the car to save some money and/or get a better flight time.

Ummmm.....isn't everyone on the plane going the same place as you

One would hope!

I always go to WDW solo for about 6 or 7 nights. I do make ADR's for just myself, and only the places that I would truly hate to miss. I absolutely adore the Sci Fi in the the studios, so that one will be the first one I will make for about 4:00. ( I don't like my dinner too late, or I'll feel sick trying to sleep, later ) I am way over the self concious thing seeing that this December will be my 10th annual SOLO trip. Last year, I also had a wonderful meal of filet mignon at The Yacht Club Steakhouse, but for THAT particular meal, I wish I had a companion. If I were you - I would practice a few meals eating alone by going to your local mall for a few solo dinners.
And by the way ...... It helps a whole lot while you are dining alone to have a small notebook with you to make notes ..... or something small to read .....
or even one of the park maps. And it also helps a lot to go to the bathroom FIRST, before you are seated in the restaurant. ( Trust me on this one)

I know a lot of people just simply aren't comfortable travelling solo.....i am pretty shy and not a huge people person. But I've travelled solo a lot for work and done a few short trips over to the parks for a few days at a time on my own. It isn't that bad. I found that I met new people while waiting in lines, folks always seemed surprised that i was alone. lol Eating alone doesn't have to be bad either, like someone else said, finding a spot at the bar is fun too. I found it wasn't as great going solo as it was with my family, but still lots of fun. I found myself calling my sister to let her listen to the fireworks on the phone! I just missed having someone to share those special moments with, but you can definitely make your own fun too and make new friends. Not to mention doing what you want, when you want!!

Why didn't anybody show me the My Little Pony section????

Do they have tiaras? Have you seen the make your own magic wand?

HOB brunch is really good and a lot of fun!

 

[jeanigor]

They showed me "Make your own lightsaber" but nobody said ANYTHING about "Make your own magic wand"...that can be like a scepter, right?

I love this idea!! I've always wanted to try it. We'll just have to wait and see what they have planned for us on Sunday!

YOU know what I mean!!!! LMAO!!! I meant someone going to DAP..silly!!

Todd..there's an airport here in Toledo, but I don't think any of the airlines fly into MCO...which stinks...that's why I'm thinkin Detroit. Cleveland is over two away from me where D-town is only about a 40 min drive.

 

[Dodie]

Sooo...now that I am confirmed to go...

How did I MISS THIS?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The AirTran deal is even better if you have the $25 Florida voucher...

Which day are you flying in? I am coming in on Thursday at 2:30, but I'm coming from Minneapolis, not Detroit. I am taking Magical Express, though, and would love to meet up with anyone else from DAP who is riding!

Ummmm.....isn't everyone on the plane going the same place as you
