*New DVC/DIS January meet list* sign up! *LIST*

[dianeschlicht]

I was thinking it would be nice to do a meet at VWL, since this is a great time for decorations there. What does everyone think? Maybe Iron Spike room or in front of the big fireplace in the lobby? The tentative date is January 6th, since that was the time most could attend from the original thread. I am thinking maybe 2 until about 4:00. We would keep it very casual and folks could come and go as they chose. We had a great visit last December, and it would be fun to do it again.

Let me know your thoughts, and sign up here. Maybe tell me how many are attending too.

I'll be there. Either room is fine with me. The lobby might be easier for everyone to get to. My DH and I will probably be the ones meeting. Our children that are coming with us are grown and I would guess that they will be off doing something.

Thanks for arranging this!

 

[DukeStreetKing]

Won't all the holiday decorations be taken down by then? I thought they were all down by January 1st?

Maybe I'm wrong.

 

[dianeschlicht]

We were told decorations would be up until Jan. 8th this year.

 

[dianeschlicht]

Anyone else? We had quite a few on the original list a few months ago.

 

[tinker925]

Oh I'm so going to try and make it. Writing it on my intinerary now . . .

Funny Delta/Song called me today to see if we would change our flight on the 5th to later in the day - ah no! Last year on the Thursday before the Marathon we were the first Song flight scheduled to leave that a.m. and we had a good snow fall so we were really delayed and I think the only Song flight out that morning so I'm not getting bumped!!

I'll probably have my DH, and two little boys with me at the least.

 

[Deb & Bill]

This will be perfect. We'll have lunch at the Plaza Restaurant at the MK at noon. Then I can take the boat over to VWL from MK to the Iron Spike Room or DVC lobby (not the main lobby, correct?) We're making an early day of it on the 6th because of the half marathon and 5K the next day.

We'll see you there!!

 

[dianeschlicht]

Okay, Iron Spike room at 2 sounds like a plan!

We will try and make it. We are meeting a group of DIS marathoners over at Trails End a little later so this might work out for us. Any excuse to get to the Lodge works for us

BTW, we are at the Lodge right now. Cant wait to see it again in Jan. Looking forward to meeting some fellow DVCers/DISers!!

 

[xterratri]

We'll have the afternoon free before the DIS marathon meal at Trail's End too so we'll try and get there. Our big thing to accomplish that day will be packet pick up at the Expo. Mom, sis, and I will be attending. Thanks for putting this together. We will be staying at VWL for the first time im May for the FL Half Ironman weekend.

 

[dianeschlicht]

bumping for more replies

 

[dianeschlicht]

So glad this is working for the marathoners!

 

[zoomsharedisney]

I've been waiting for this thread to pop up again. The DH and I will definately be there!! Our plane lands that morning around 10 AM so this is perfect for us. And with AP's it's no big deal to leave a park and then go back. Isn't Disney great?!

Ah, found the thread!

I will try to make it. I think our plans right now call for MK in the morning and then MGM evening so that should work out.

Will any of the other Disers have young kids? Is the spike room ok to bring them? We have 2 DD's ages 4.5. and 17 months?

Looking forward to meeting everyone.

 

[dianeschlicht]

I have a subscription to this thread, so I'll keep a running tab and will bump it up occationally to get the most views. We had a good time meeting and visiting last December at SSR, so I hope we have as much fun this time. Nothing spectacular planned, but just fun to put faces to names and get to chat a bit. We might even have a few surprises!

The Iron Spike room is just a nice lounge area off the Villas lobby. There are a few of Walt Disney's model trains (and a nice fireplace) in the room. Thus the Iron Spike. Nice big sofas and chairs to sit in, just a comfy place. Your kids will be fine. Plus we can compare their photos on the DIS with how they really look now!! The Christmas tree may still be in the main villa lobby, plus they can check out the hidden Mickeys in the room. And the rocking chairs are fun to sit in.

Ok, I know where you are talking about now. I was wondering if it was a bar. We stayed there Jan 2 years ago and DH hunted all over for the Hidden Mickey in there.

 

[dianeschlicht]

Oh good, another thing to do in the iron spike room! I didnt' know about the hidden Mickeys. We have never stayed at VWL, just the main lodge. Hopefully we will get more folks coming too!

 

[dianeschlicht]

Any more wanting to come?

 

[kpk89]

It sounds like fun ... I've been trying to hang out more on the DVC section of DIS (I always get so hooked into the trip reports, tips, etc that I forget to scroll on down to DVC!) and it would be fun to meet other DVC Dis'ers.

Sadly, we don't arrive until 1/13. (but so, so happy that we're going!!)

Have a great time! We'll try to catch a meet another time.
