Need headcount for Raleigh meet!

[HeatherPage]

Ok guys we need to start getting a headcount to figure out just how many of us will be attending our upcoming meet.
The date is Saturday, July 27th, the time starts at 11:30 a.m., the place Maggianos Little Italy at the Streets of Southpoint in Durham. I already have a good idea of who is coming, but I need to know about spouses, children, SO, friends, etc. We have decided to go with the Maggianos Classic Family Style which is $13.95 per person and is all you can eat. DVCajun and I have selected a menu that we think is broad enough to please all tastes. It's alot of food I'm sure, but you get a big variety and the price seems very reasonable. The menu we have come up with is as follows:

Appetizers:
1. Bruschetta
2. Stuffed mushrooms

Salad:
1. Caesar Salad
2. Maggiannos Salad

Pasta:
1. Spaghetti and Meatballs
2. Chicken and Spinach Manicotti

Entree:
1. Chicken Parmesan
2. Chicken Piccata

Dessert:
1. Tiramisu
2. Chocolate Zuccotto Cake

If anyone wants to look at the descripton of these items go to www.Maggianos.com. For those interested in coming that haven't seen the previous posts, parties of 10 or more are required to do a family style and this seems to be the best value and since we needed to tell them what courses we were choosing before hand we had been given the okay to choose for everyone by several would-be attendees, soooo...hopefully everyone is okay with this menu. Okay so either PM or post here how many in your party will be coming. Again dvcajun and I are looking forward to it so everyone try to make an effort (hey I'm going to have a drawing for a prize and even nametags-whoohoo!

You know I am an iffy. If I am not working, I am there for sure. I am going to try and get scheduled for later in that day, but I have no guarantees until about a week out. Sorry to be so iffy, but it is the best I can do right now. And, it would be me and my hubby if we are a yes. If you cannot count me in the headcount, then we will try for a table nearby and see if we can "soak up the Disney" atmosphere from afar. It sounds like fun.

That's fine The manager I spoke with said if it's off by 5 or so people that's no big deal, so as long as we can get it within five or so by the final ressie, we should be fine. Hope you can make it! Tell them you'll be out promoting the Disney spirit!

It will just be my husband Andy and I.

We have friends who just bought DVC we are trying to convince to come. If they decide, I'll let you know.

See you then!

DH and I are there!! No kids.

C'mon Rwethereyet-- you need to be there! I want to hear all about your recent trip!

Hi Everyone! My DH and I will be there!! Although I've been to almost all of the Raleigh area DIS/DVC/Pin meets, this will be a first for DH!

I'll have the latest WDW scoop since ds and I are flying down in a week to celebrate our birthdays! DS is turning 18 and I'll be **! ;-) We are going to do four of the behind-the-scenes tours: Hidden Treasures of World Showcase, Undiscovered Future World, Keys to the Kingdom, and Backstage Safari. DS wanted to to Inside Animation, but that tour is no longer offered. (We did Backstage Magic for ds's 16th birthday, and have also done the Family Magic Tour). Needless to say, I'm very excited about doing these tours!

Looking forward to seeing everyone soon!

Ok, I'm marking everyon down! This is shaping up to be a great turnout! By the way, I'm bringing Justin-hope y'all don't mind (he's a good baby!) Don't know about my husband yet but either way me and the Boo will be there!

 

[RweTHEREyet]

O.K., Just got my work schedule and I can make it. Yaay, am I too late for me and hubby to be included in the group?

How many folks in total will there be at this point.

Anybody bringing pins to trade?

Looking forward to seeing everybody.

Yay!

I think there should be close to 25 people there (my "master" list is at work so I don't have the exact count but that's pretty close) The last two I'm waiting to hear about are Marley's friends, so Marley if you're out there and they're coming, let me know Ok guys, I'll post the final post about this probably the middle of the week. Talk to you later!
