Florida Residents Unite! --->Help us plan the next Dismeet!

[Sha]

Hi Kristy and Lauren!

Next Saturday a couple of us are able to get together. This is the 17th of July and a couple of ideas have been tossed up. Can meet up and do an ice cream meet (though admit getting a table for x amount at Beaches and Cream might be a wait it can be fun), get a surry bike or 2 for a ride around the boardwalk (or can go to Port Orleans) and mini golf. Dont know what the weather will be like but anything is possible.

What do you all think? and what about a time? Was trying to keep it out of a park so those who didnt have an AP or a ticket can go. Also not knowing what the crowds will be like.

(posting on FB page too)

I guess I'll post and introduce myself. I'm Kristy, from Central Florida on the Space Coast. I'm going to be getting my new yearly pass again since they are doing the monthly pay thingy now, it's been a rough few years money wise, but now I'm so happy to be able to get one again! I've been going to the park myself since my hubby hates all things Mickey (I know, why the heck did I marry that guy? LOL), and I'd love to be able to meet people once in awhile to go on rides with or have a meal, or just say hi. I'm not a youngster, I'm 48, but very young at heart! Did my first trip to DisneyLand in 1975 and still have the souvenir's I bought there. They've moved all over the US with me!

So anyway, Hi there! I hope to meet some of you sometime soon!

Kristy wow your 1st post & it was to our friendly little group. Glad you found us. My name is Ruthie & I'm in Polk County. I can so relate to the $ problems, hope to meet you soon. I can't be doing any of the meets that are going to cost any $ but once you get the AP I go solo all the time. Funny you say you're 48 I'm 55 no worries

Hi Kristy. I'm Melissa and I'm a Disneyworldholic! I'm over in the Tampa area. Glad you are joining us.

Sha, I'm in for the 17th, with Jacob. Any of those ideas sounds good to me.

I had a great time one time just taking the boat from DTD to POR and we just had a drink (and not alcoholic) or milkshake there in the dining hall. It was just nice to sit and visit.

So, who all wants to meet on the 17th?

they have bistro chairs and tables outside beaches and Cream... so the number of attendee will not be a problem so there is ahang out place if you plan to eat inside the restaurant...

I pick mini golf or bikes. No matter what is chosen I will be there.

Ruthie I will pay for your mini golf, bike rental or ice cream. Would hate not to have you be a part of the get together.

good Lord ya'll have been busy planning! FYI, Summer is my play time for the rest of this beautiful and amazing State of ours. I use the busy season at the parks as my play time elsewhere, which DOES include play time on my new inflatable kayak. It's this one in case you wanna really laugh at it You're right Sha, it's a lot like the fun yaks in NC, only longer with seats. *sigh* I miss kayaking in the mountains. Sadly, Florida doesn't have rapids.

Anyway, I'm around just working hard and out enjoying life! Ruthie, take advantage of Gary's kindness. You're family, we take care of family.

Just found you guys!! How great is this thread. I've read trip reports with disers meeting up, but have not ventured into that territory until now!! I live in Panama City Beach, FL, about 6 1/2 hours from my favorite World! Thanks to passholder rates and a great SWA deal, I am finally having my Dream Trip to Disney (not that every trip isn't, this one just fell perfectly into place) Sept. 8 through 13. I go solo several times a year and always drove prior to this trip so using ME for the first time (YAY). Most threads I have read seem to be young people, young families or couples, at 47 and solo I was starting to feel a little wierd lurking everywhere!! I finally Fit!!

 

[Sha]

Morning folks... and welcome Oscee. There are a couple meets with single/couples that happen besides what we do. I met a lot of my Disfriends at the single meets which slowly became couples too because of the Disboards and meeting up. Check for meets around the threads and you can see whats happening.

Am going to be staying overnight at one of the resorts, just dont know which one for Saturday night. Whatever we decide to do we have a week to decide. Mom and I will be going over to MK that evening so I can give the new fireworks another try and see the parade again.

 

[jmskinner]

Welcome Oscee! I'm Melissa. I'm not single and have a son, but still try to go with Disfriends when I can get away.

Ok, if we don't make a decision on what to do next Saturday until after Thursday, someone will have to text me, send me an email, or FB message. I'm hoping we can avoid the $10 internet room charge as much as possible. Will have to hide the laptop from Jonas.

Sha, if I can get Jacob to go, we might join you if that is ok. Of course, I'm seeing the fireworks on Monday, I booked the Dessert Party. I hope it's good. My stepdaughter, Kara, knows nothing about it so I hope it makes for a nice surprise. She's never seen the fireworks from the front of the castle either, never seen Tinkerbell fly. Got to do something about that.

Rebecca, you mean we won't see you at all this Summer. I'm missing ya, but know you are enjoying yourself.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

 

[Sha]

Thursday is when I will decide where I am going to stay. Meaning DVC or out of pocket cost.

Will text you... will also update on the groups FB page. Am sure that your SD will like the dessert party. Let me know what you think.

 

[Sha]

Okay... Gary did a flipping of coins and Surry Bikes at Port Orleans won out. Think they are at Riverside. We need to set a time to meet up. Going to do after lunch on Saturday the 17th (work off what we ate earlier I guess LMAO).
