DIS/DISUnplugged/Dreams December Event Info DISapalooza

[jeanigor]

I was thinking it only made sense to do OL before the TSM meet so I will probably be doing the same thing.

With our dinner plans on Thursday, if we go on Saturday it means we are able to actually enjoy them instead of stampeding through and catching glimpses.

We did the lights before the TSM meet last year & it worked well.

I would keep the Osborne Lights meet on Thursday and repeat it on Saturday. Some people won't have arrived by Thursday night and will want to see them Saturday. Others without park hoppers might not be at the Studios on Saturday until the party starts.

Sounds like a great idea Nancy!!!

Just remember, you don't need park admission for the DIS-a-Palooza event though.

I know - and that's why a person going to the Studios just for TSM wouldn't be able to see the Osborne Lights - unless Disney leaves them on just for us.

I'm in support of the OL scootch to Saturday pending what Stacy has to say. Especially if Fantasmic is running on Saturday night.

Thursday will remain Yehaa Bob as that was the main course anyway.

I'm with George!



Hi, George!

 

[exwdwcm]

we are doing the same thing- Osborne lights and HS that evening before the party. gotta go adjust the itenerary now! We had planned to do MK that night, so gotta find another night to see Spectro. I wish hours were out already darn it!

I like the idea of switching OL to Saturday too . . . however, it will be a Saturday night. Last year, it was wall to wall people and a madhouse!! If we didn't have Tonya and the lightsaber, we would have been lost. You couldn't move over there, much less breathe.

Yes, I'm thinking if you want the lights to be a Social Occasion, try for Thursday night. If you just want to see the lights themselves, and not necessarily hang with a Group, then Saturday is an option.

Hi, George!

Hi Jaime.

I'm going to do more research on that Samsung TL220/5 camera. OMG it will take a self portrait when you smile. Will show the framed shot and then it will display a countdown so you know when the shutter snaps. No more timer. It also records HD video.

Revision in the text!!

Osborne Lights to be on Thursday (as a social group) and Saturday (for your viewing pleasure).

Spreadsheet to be updated forthwith.

I theory this works, but we couldn't actually see any of lights or enjoy them because there were too many people, and too much pushing and shoving going on.

I bought a steeeeeeeeeeek!

And George...that camera looks way cool! That's my weakness...cameras...I always want a new one.

So Jen and I were talking...we want to do Fulton's for lunch one day during DAP. We were looking at Friday...lunchtime...anyone else interested? Then right after lunch, we could head over to Epcot...

Does Fulton's take ADR's?

 

[fakereadhed]

Woohoo!! My 5 year old son will be there too. You said your son is coming?

My son is 5 too! We usually do a 3-4 day WDW getaway in the fall just the two of us, but this year we're going for a week. My teens are no longer into Disney and my DH never was. But at least he's supportive of my "habit" and encourages me to go as often as I can. If momma's happy, everybody's happy...

I'm seriously rethinking my flight times so that I can get down earlier on Thursday and leave later on Sunday. I need to call JetBlue.

Not only are weekend nights very crowded, but I was there on a Saturday night in 2004 when they wouldn't let anyone enter DHS until a bunch of people left the park. That was the first year the Osborne Lights were on New York Street, and maybe that hasn't happened in the years since. However, if you want to see the Osborne Lights before TSM that night, I would be INSIDE the park well before the lights go on at 6:00.

Yes! I will speak for myself and Kathy (although I haven't consulted with her - so she may change her mind), but I would love to hit Fulton's on Friday for lunch and then head over to Epcot to be ready for DATW!

Hey. I just spoke for you (see above).

My flight Thursday gets in at 1:45. My flight Sunday departs at 7:15. This is, of course, all subject to change since it's AIRTRAN.

Love a good spreadsheet!
