Hey snowbirds,

I'm not sure if someone is already organizing something for this date but here it goes. Some of us are planning to meet up on January 20th. We don't know where yet and the exact time, but we'll figure that out. If you would like to join us, stop by my PTR (link below) and let us know! I tend to get lost in all the messages on here as we're such a chatty bunch!

Hi - Kim/Northern Disney Girl and I have set up a parade meet at MK for the 3:00 parade. I posted about it a couple pages back. Are you guys looking to meet in a park, or outside of a park?
 
Hmmm...I'm eating there for dinner!! The really sad thing is the one thing I'm looking forward to the most on the menu is being able to try the School Bread finally!!!

Oh good! :cheer2: I think we were just planning on meeting up period. Thank you for the info. Where exactly along the parade line are you planning?
 
Shelly-Thanks for the menu! We're doing the PSB lunch and I can't wait. I'm a very picky eater, but I think I'm going to try the pasta dish. At least there's shrimp I can get off the cold buffet. I LOVE shrimp!
 
Oh good! :cheer2: I think we were just planning on meeting up period. Thank you for the info. Where exactly along the parade line are you planning?

Have you been there before? If you walk to Liberty Square from the HUB in front of the castle, there is a little snack place called Sleepy Hollow. There are little round tables and stools to sit. During parade time, they rope off that area and the parade goes right over the bridge and you can sit and watch it. It's not the most perfect spot, but it's a place to sit and hopefully be unobstructed.

We're hoping to grab a late lunch and secure our spot by 2:00 or so.
