Looking for someone or two to hang out with in Nov.

[Coasterfan]

All,

I'll be in WDW the weekend of Nov 7 - 11. I would like to have someone to hang out with while I'm there. I'm planning short stomps to Universal and SeaWorld also. Please respond if you might want to meet.

You can email me at coasterfan@pobox.com

I'll be at WDW Nov 9-12, CF. It looks like we have at least one other thing in common.

 

[taswira]

I'm a coaster fan, too! I have an AP to WDW, Sea World, Universal & IOA. If the weather cooperates, I will be at Sea World and Universal/IOA on Sunday, then at least two WDW parks on Monday.

I've tentatively planned to go to AK (maybe, for EE) and MK on Monday. My "must do"s on this (short) trip are Mission Space, Mickey's Philharmagic and Wishes, and to graze the Food and Wine festival--penciled in for Wednesday. But hey, I'm flexible!

Ladies... It appears that we have somewhat flexible schedules. I have plans to be at Universal/IOA on Sunday but I have to leave early to dinner at Dixie Stampede.

Monday is somewhat flexible. I heard that there is a Disney Outlet store (from my best friend) at the Belz Outlet Mall. This trip is a Christmas shopping trip. I need a couple of hours on Monday to get everything and ship everything home. Other than that, I can meet to Mission Space or something. I've got to fit Illuminations, Fantasmic, and Wishes in there. Wishes is great but you need to be in front of the Castle.

Let me know what you think.

I actually read that you don't want to be too close to the castle for Wishes. Not true?

I was planning Illuminations for Monday night. (Wishes {and Spectro} Tuesday) Want to try to get together for Epcot "stuff" at some point on Monday?

 

[Coasterfan]

I think meeting at Epcot would be good for me on Monday. Sorry for not being able to devote more time. I started looking at all of the things I wanted to do and discovered that I actually had very little time.

CA and Taswira, do you have a time and place that you would like to meet at Epcot on Monday (provided Taswira can make it)?

I'm flexible. Meeting on Monday at EPCOT works fine for me. It would be best to meet at or after 10 a.m. for me though . . only because since it's a weekday that would help me avoid the Orlando rush hour traffic (I live an hour from the parks). But if it's earlier I'll still try to make it.

I'm flexible. I was planning to do the really big ticket stuff at Epcot on Wednesday during Early Entry, but I could rearrange that. I definitely want to be there in the evening for Illuminations.

Kim - One tip if you have not yet done <I>Mission: Space</I> - - When you do it the FIRST time, go in the regular standby line. So far on weekdays I have not found much of a wait there, but with F&WF going on I guess there might be (Took my Mom a few days ago but of course had to skip that ride with her!). If you do Fast Pass or Singles line, it usually means a detour that bypasses the "preview show" area - the anti-gravity wheel space station, real lunar rover, Mission Control. You'll probably want to see that at least once . . .

 

[CoasterAddict]

Thanks for the tip! So, have we firmed up plans yet? Margaritas, anyone?

 

[taswira]

Well, ONE Margarita sounds good to me - - since I have to drive home at the end of the night .

Someone just needs to designate a time and spot to meet. I should be there a bit before 10 a.m. barring excessive traffic . .

 

[CoasterAddict]

CF-when are you planning to do your shopping?
And Shari, you'd originally said you planned to hit multiple parks, what else are you wanting to catch? I don't "need" to be in Epcot until evening, so if we're planning to hop around that may or may not be the best place to start...

 

[taswira]

CA - It really does not matter to me where we start. I've done all the parks so many times and I enjoy all of them. I have not yet seen <I>Wishes</I> because my mom did not feel like staying that late and was with me the last time I was at MK, but I can always see it on another night.

I like to hit RRC at MGM, and MS and Test Track at EPCOT. But any of the four main parks is fine with me and I don't mind staying at one or park hopping.

 

[Coasterfan]

My shopping is dependent on how late that I will be up the previous night. I like to go to a variety of stores and get an idea of what would be good to get. I make a list, then I go back to the appropriate stores to get what I think would be a good Christmas gift. I figure that once I buy everything, I'll go to a UPS store and ship everything home for wrapping.

Would late afternoon (4 ish) be ok in front of Pin Central across from MouseGear? or would you like to plan for a bit earlier? I'll work with you. Is there some way that we could leave messages for each other if we miss? For safety sake, I don't want you to tell me where you're staying and I don't need to know. I've just want to make sure we have some type of communication or we could just wing it. If we miss each other, there will be other times (I'm assuming you two will be back again).

Ken, that sounds fine for meeting. Shari, want to meet earlier, maybe @mgm to do the thrill rides?

Kim

 

[taswira]

Sounds good to me. And Kim, yes - Meeting at MGM earlier would be great. Any time from 10 a.m. after. Just name the time and place.

 

[Coasterfan]

Ladies,

Just in case something happpens that I cannot make it ( car accident, family emergency, lost car in parking lot, car trouble, overslept in taking a nap.. that sort of thing), I would like to impose a 15 minute rule.

Since we will not have any way of communicating our whereabouts, if we do not show up after 15 minutes, the rest of us will be free to go about our business.

In reference to above, yes... I've done all of the above while I was here except for the car accident and car trouble (and I hope that these two never happen!.)

So it is final....

I'll meet ya'll in front of Pin Central at Epcot about 4 pm.

TTFN,

Coaster Fan Ken

 

[taswira]

Ken, if you'll have a cell phone with you, I can PM you my cell number so you can keep us posted when down here, if you like. Let me know.

Shari

Taswira and CoasterAddict,

I believe I met you at Epcot last week - that was fun. I did not run across any other DISers. We're back home now.....but it was a very enjoyable week at Disney.

Take care,
Carole
