January meets - who else will be enjoying low crowds?

[rigs32]

I will be happy to help coordinate the info people list on this thread - at least for awhile. If I need help, I'll ask for it.

Post when you're going, who's in your group, and if you're doing anything that you might want to share with some other adults at WDW.

I'll be there (I'm 32) with my SO (36) from Jan 21 - 29. The photo is from Halloween 2008.

Friday, Jan 21 - we'll be going to Bob Jackson's show at POR

Sunday, Jan 23 - we will likely be drinking around the monorail if anyone at the MK resorts would like to meet for a drink

Friday, Jan 28 - we'll be drinking around the world if anyone else would like to attempt that feat

(We're not alcoholics, but it's vacation, so we're going to have some fun)

My DH and I are going Jan 3-7. I too love the low crowds and I enjoy the cooler weather.

I went once in Sept and hated it (hot and miserable), also went once in April and was blown away by hurricane winds. The other two times were in Jan for the marathon and loved it!!!

Although I won't be there the same days you are it would be great to meet up with some other around the world drinkers. We will be doing that on the 4th.

Just like you, we are not drinkers but will be on vacay!! Drink up!!!

HI Elliesmommy! I'll be there from January 3-11! Celebrating my birthday and running my first marathon.

My boyfriend and I will be there Jan 2nd-9th. It's been a while since I've been to Disney (bf's never been, woohoo!) but I remember it being excellent in January, both climate and crowds. I'm looking forward to the 'Epcot Stagger', as my family calls it.

My husband and I will be there the 1st through the 10th. We're travelling with my in-laws and three of their friends. I have no idea how this trip will go, and there hasn't been much communication about the plans. I don't know if we'll basically be on our own separate trips and meeting up for dinner at night, or if they plan on spending all of our time in a big group.

If they want to drink around the world or if we can separate from the group without seeming like lushes then we might want to join you, Elliesmommy, for your drink around the world. I don't know how they feel about drinking around the world, but I figure I'm 30 so I should try it before I get too old to know better When we're not drinking we could swap stories about all things Wisconsin

I will be down for Marathon weekend, I am running the Half again.

 

[mla1977]

Elliesmommy - January 4 is my birthday! I'll try to join you drinking around the world for a bit.

 

[BACON]

I'm in for Jan 6-9. Running the 5k and half marathon. I'm very likely going alone.

 

[CoasterAddict]

See you in the 5K. Or not. I'll be the one with pink mouse ears.


Seriously, looks like we have a number of folks there for marathon weekend. Drinks on Sunday night?

 

[asweets]

We were planning on doing Epcot on the 4th anyway, so we might meet up for a pint.

 

[mdoll4]

Was hoping to be there Jan 2-7ish for my 2nd anniversary with my boyfriend, but he doesn't want to go less than a year since our last trip in May. Sigh.

Marathoners - CoasterAddict proposed meeting for drinks Sunday night

 

[BACON]

Can't do drinks Sunday night. I'm flying home that day.

My tentative schedule is:
Jan 6 - Arrive in MCO
Jan 7 - Run the 5k, go to Universal Studios after.
Jan 8 - Do the half marathon, take a nap, figure out which park I want to hit up, Epcot or MK.

I'll probably dress up for the 5K, though it'll depend on what the weather is like.

January 14th-19th over here!

 

[NayNayMarie]

I will be there Jan 9th to the 14th.
I'm new to the boards here but I'm 25 and I will be there with one of my best gal pals celebrating the both of us recently becoming single, haha, she's 36.

We are going to be at DHS on the 10th because we have a Prime Time Cafe ADR, but the rest of the days are unscheduled, but we definitely plan to drink around the world while there!

We are also staying at Pop.
