May 2010 WDW DIS Meet...May 2009 was great let's do it again!

[JDUCKY]

My DD15 will be there!

And we'll now have three little ones, too. Sooo...don't want to saddle the older ones with babysitting duties so as long as the teen activities don't coincide with an adults-only outing, I think we'll be ok on our end.

I asked my son if he wanted to go but he said no. He says he is too old for Disney, but I tend to disagree with him on a lot of things.

Okay, so a question for all of you planning on going in May. . .we had a discussion over my birthday weekend about why the response to the Friday night Boma Ressie was sooooooo low. . .

Here are some ideas. . .

Was it:

1. Too hard to get to from other places

2. Not really my "cup of tea" for food choices

3. Its a bit early to be eating my dinner or "supper" (whichever version you prefer).

4. Other (please write in your reason).

The reason I ask is because our group dinners have all been fun. I know many are discouraged because of people who don't pay their fair share but I have a solution. . .I will put the price of the buffet plus the tax and 18 percent gratuity on the web here. I will suggest that all of you bring cash. Drinks are (of course) extra but if you know ahead of time that dinner is 35 with tax and tip and you purchase 20 bucks worth of alcohol. . .you will at least know. . .I know they will NOT guarantee a table for 16 and we might have to be split into multiple tables. . .one check for each table. . .no separate checks. . .

I realize there are many different reasons that you all prefer not to do the group dinner. . .however, if you just make sure you have enough cash on hand for this particular meal, drinks and tip, you can charge everything else. I love the group dinners cause it is a great way to meet all.

That is one thing that came to my mind, if one is depending on Disney buses it may become troublesome to get there. And get back, depending on park closing times. I see a trip to MK and then a bus back to the hotel. Or there is the possibility of a cab. I do not think the time is a problem. Nor the cost. I seem to remember everyone getting seperate checks last year.

Anyway, just my .03 cents.

Darcy, what time is this at for Boma?

 

[nurse.darcy]

Sha, the Boma ressie is at 5 p.m.

 

[ahoff]

Hmmm, no wonder I did not see a problem with the time, I thought it was at 7. Tracy would understand......

Hey guys, I'm also planning my first solo from May 12-15th. Would love to meet up for a ride or two if anyone is interested! It would be lots of fun to find some fellow Disney nuts!

Jess, please feel free to join us for all fun and fellowship. We have some meet and greets planned and other times that we just hang out. Thursday night is a meet and greet at Atlantic Dance Hall at 9 p.m. (there is no cover charge), Friday night we have a group dinner planned. So far it is at Boma at 5 p.m. Saturday night is a Monorail Bar Crawl (not sure what time this one is starting. . .lol). The daytime hours will be for people to get together and go on rides, swim, etc. Whatever people feel like doing.

I am collecting Names, Cell Phone Numbers and e-mail addresses of those wishing to be a part of the phone tree. Just PM the information to me here or email it to me if you wish to participate.

Hey Darcy,.. don't have any problems with the group dinner thing, but we have other plans for that evening so that's why we haven't responded. With several of us staying in the BCV/Boardwalk area, I think a trip to Kimonos in the Swan for sushi/sashimi and karaoke might be in order too (or out of order, depending on how you feel about raw fish and sake-inspired solos ). Might be just the thing as a prelude to the 9pm meet at Atlantic.

 

[ClareH37]

Kimonos sounds fun!

 

[sand2270]

Hey Darcy, I have other plans on Friday as well which was why I won't be at the Boma dinner. I've made smaller meal plans already, so I probably won't be in for any big group meals but will be in for the other meets.

i was going to hit Epcot after I arrived for some food and drinks but I would totally be up for some sake! No raw fish for me but I looked at the menu and they have other things I would eat.

I'm in the World the 9th thru the 14th. Any meets during the week?

I think you have something there Tom. Ken and I ate at Kimonos in February and loved it. Great atmosphere. . .I think maybe a 6:30 p.m. ressie on Thursday? Before Atlantic Dance Hall? Any thoughts?

Hey there, we are planning a meet and greet at Atlantic Dance Hall on Thursday night the 13th at 9:00 p.m. Apparently we are also trying to get a group dinner together for Sushi at Kimonos at the Swan that same evening. . .keep in touch with this board and we will keep you informed. . .

I already had you tagged for not being at Boma. . .no issues there. . .but yeah, lets do Kimonos on Thursday. . .All Over that one. . .should be fun. . .

my flight doesn't get in until 6:15 so I probably wouldn't even make it over there until close to 8pm...unless some nice person I know who is moving there soon picks me up from the airport . As long as you guys can save me a seat I should be fine to be there...just very late .

 

[sand2270]

Should we push the Atlantic Dance Hall thing out to 10pm? I don't really care either way, don't think things get going at that place that early anyway. But I'm good either way, I'll find you guys when I get there.

That place is really small and not sure they take ressies for more than 6 but not sure. No place is perfect for masses so no worries.

Think some of us just want to be together to party and don't care where!!
