Just An Idea For Mini Meets

[luvdsny]

This is just an idea. And it may not work, but hopefully it will inspire some fresh ideas that we can send Marsha's way.

I was wondering if we if could have "MK Day", "AK Day", "MGM Day", and "EPCOT Day".

I'll use last year's events as an example: On MK Day we could do the MK thrill rides, the fantasyland meet, the Buzz Lightyear meet, the Dole Whip meet, etc.

And on MGM Day we could focus on those thrill rides, the Osbourne Lights, Fantasmic, etc.

I have no idea how this would work.......I'm just throwing it out there. It seems that we spent a lot of time last year just trying to get from one park to another and sometimes yet another and it took up a lot of precious time. This way we would stay in one park for most of the day, and perhaps only leave at the end of the day to attend a 'night event' somewhere else.

What do you think? And if this idea 'stinks' please say so.......but be nice about it.

<font face="comic sans ms"> Tia, I would tell you if I thought the idea was stinky, but I think it's a great idea. I'm not sure about the logistics of planning it, but we could definitely get more park time this way. </font>

Sounds good to me, Tia !!!
(maybe that way I'll actually make it over to AK this Con!)

No, actually I think that is a great idea.

I really hated riding those buses in my wheelchair. I had to wear like 3 or 4 seatbelts while everybody else got to

Sounds like a winner to me.

Hey Tia, sounds like you are getting into commando mode. This means you got to come or we will be lost without you.

Oh wait a minute, Tia was the one that followed us around once we got there because she had no clue what was going on. All that planning just went out the window once she got to WDW.

I think that is a good idea......would you also do a Universal day as well.. I was just wondering....for those people like you know BARRY...

 

[tammyh-oregon]

Only if Barry promises to come up with a scavenger hunt for Barb and I over there.

That sounds good for anyone staying later or coming early to DIS CON

 

[Pixie Power!]

Sounds like a great idea to me!!

Personally, I want to see a Gatorland day.

Anyway, I do have a Universal scavenger hunt in the works. It's revenge for the DIS Con one!

 

[Barb]

Tammy, quit giving Barry ideas!
Tia, I like the idea of a park a day thing. We could even do it where it's just the morning and early afternoon-like we did for our Fantasyland though Dole Whip meets. We had lunch right after that and everyone split up. That way if someone wanted take a nap, swim or shop, they could. I really think this could work out very well! Great thinking, girl!
I want to make sure we do the two shows at AK, Corinne. I love the Tarzan and Lion King shows! They would be fun to do with a group!

 

[Poohbear123]

I love the MK idea! Count me IN!

 

[OkieDisney]

I like it!!!!


Don't forget the Prime time cafe meet at MGM

and the

"Turkey Leg/chicken out" meet at MGM!!!

I really like this idea....less running around!!!!


The GF tea could be on the day that we do MK...easy to leave and re-enter!!!

 

[luvdsny]

Wow I'm glad you guys like the idea. Maybe it will work.

A Universal Day would make Barry VERY happy! And he's even willing to do a scavenger hunt LOL

I'm not sure if this would 'jive' with the 'bigger official' events, but we can try.

Marsha, I hope you and Pete and ??? can think about this for a while and see if it will 'jive'.

 

[Buckleybunch]

That sounds good to me...
I wasn't there last year.. But going from park to park in one day is a lot of work..
However it works, I'll be there..

[Sandra B.]

Sounds like a great idea!!!

 

[disneycub]

I really like this idea, Tia. Makes a lot of sense to me. The day we had the Fantasyland meet, the Dole Whip meet, and the Aladdin meet worked out pretty well.

And I'd really enjoy a Universal meet as well.

 

[OkieDisney]

Just a thought to throw out there.

Maybe do a Universal meet on the same day as the AK meet. I would do the AK meets but I know other folks aren't as interested in AK as I am.

Alternatively, do the Universal meet on Mon or Tues before DISCON officially starts? Or on Sunday?

Suggestions?

Karen

 

[Barb]

I am definitely up for a Universal day. I'll bet I'm almost as big a fan of Men In Black as Barry is!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anybody know the deal on a Universal/Islands of Adventure AP??

 

[luvdsny]

Since I doubt (correct me if I'm wrong) that Pete is planning any 'Universal Studios' events, perhaps we should have a Universal meet before or after the 'official' DIS-Con dates. It would be difficult to go to Universal all day and then have to head back to DISney for an 'official event' such as Illuminations or something similar. Or would it be that difficult? I don't really know because it's been a million years since I've been to Univ. and I know we didn't go back to a DISney park afterwards. ::sigh::

As for the Sunday AFTER DIS-Con.....I'm hoping most of us will reserve this evening for MVMCP again. (hopefully it will be offered this evening)

Just my .02

Karen, the one thing we're going to try not to do this year is plan more than one event for a particular time. We had a few meets where no one showed up because they were up against something else. We can do an AK day one day and those that don't want to participate can do their own thing that day. The same can hold true for the other park days. I agree with Tia. If we decide to have a Universal day, then it would probably be best to do that before or after DIS-CON. We don't want to have to rush back from Universal to make an event. We found that packing too many things into one day didn't seem to work. We ended up being totally pooped! Of course, everything we discuss is still very tentative as we don't know what Pete has in store for us!!
I am planning on MVMCP again, for sure!! Can we do the Crystal Palace again??? That was just wonderful!!

 

[OkieDisney]

Barb, thanks for the information!!!

I agree....I think one meet at a time is best....those not interested go do other things....

All, this is the fun part!!! Planning!!!
