Official Barb Con countdown....

[glo]

OK...I need something to look forward to...Looks like a road trip will be in order, and that it maybe an extended one at that....lol...



So here it is.....

As of right this second there are ONLY!!!!


<font color=green><font size=8> 216 days!!!</font></font>

 

[BarryHom]

I've got to pack!

 

[luvdsny]

Wow! I like that number better than the one for DIS-Con 2. Thanks Glo.

 

[disneycub]

Good grief! I've gotta make airline reservations quickly!

 

[glo]

ok....so who is planning on going?

 

[perfectmatch300]

Thanks for the countdown, Glo! I've already booked my room! We will be stopping at Dorney Park on the way home, and MAYBE at Six Flags Great Adventure after that. Anyone want to join us on the rest of our tour?

Barb Con-ROTFL!!!!!!!
222 days, that should give me enough time to get ready for everyone. LOL I'm going to mention this picnic on the Community board. There are a lot of DIS-Con attendees that don't ever check in here. Also, there are a few DIS'ers from this area that would probably like to come and meet everyone.

What about John-Con? What am I? Canned corn? I'm crushed (or should I say creamed) glo. No countdown until Memorial Day? Boo hoo.

Can't hardly wait for Barb-Con. I guess I better make hotel reservations before everyone else snaps them all up.

 

[NancyIL]

I hope to be at Barb-Con - arriving July 26th and staying at the Comfort Inn for 2 nights. I reserved a room with 2 double beds, so I'm willing to share with another solo female attendee. Wow...opening reception...farewell breakfast...will there be any dessert parties?

 

[Patinmn]

John-Com I will attend if it is at Cedar Point

I wish I could attend BARB-Com but is 1 week to early for me to be able to attend :-(



So I missed the Summer of free Love in 69...was in Peurto Rico at the time.


And I will Miss the Summer Of Green Glove in 01.... Well at least I got to do Hands across America

 

[perfectmatch300]

So John, if we're going to do a countdown WE NEED DATES!!!!

PatInMN, we will probably do what we did when we made this trip last year (except THIS YEAR WE WON'T LEAVE THE PARK PASSES IN CT!)

DIS-Meet at John's
2 days at Six Flags Worlds of Adventure. (Tues & Wed) It's right near John's and X-Flight is INCREDIBLE!
2 days at Cedar Point. (Thurs & Fri) Last year this coincided with CoasterMania at CP, but I don't have the date for that this year yet.
Maybe stop at Knobels on the way home.

 

[Barb]

LOl, John-canned corn?!?! LOL I haven't told Bill about "John-Con" yet. (ROTFL) But, I figured we would hit at least Cedar Point on this trip. We went to Cedar Point about 7 years ago. It was a lot of fun, but it was very, very hot. I remember drinking tons of water and never having to go to the bathroom! (see what amuses me?)
John, is the picnic on Saturday or Sunday? I'll need to make hotel ressies, too. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Pat and Roger, I so wish you could make the trip to my house, too. But, at least we'll meet up again at John's, and within a few short months we'll all be back at WDW! Whoo-Hoo!!!!!!!

 

[Towncrier]

Last year's picnic was on the Sunday before Memorial Day. So I figure why mess with success. The official date of the picnic will be May 26, 2002. That gives everyone the opportunity to party at Cedar Point or Six Flags on Saturday, then spend Sunday afternoon and evening at our house. I'm all for planning a group trip to either park on Saturday. But count on Sunday May 26th as picnic day. I'll have the big screen TV tuned to the Indy 500 for those who must watch the race (which I missed last year because I was so busy making hamburger patties).

So who's up for a picnic in NE Ohio?

 

[Patrick IL.]

I am working on it, a may be at this point.

 

[Patinmn]

John what is the nearest decent airport to you? I am thinking of flying in, if I am able to make it and going to cedar point and your picnic. It is still kind of up in the air right now...but I hope to make it.

 

[NancyIL]

Oops! Just assumed that last year's get-together at Towncrier's house was on Memorial Day!
Guess I'll have to revise those hotel reservations again!

 

[Towncrier]

So sorry Nancy. I thought that the picnic was on Monday this year. That's probably why you got that impression.

Patrick - There are two commercial airports nearby, Cleveland Hopkins (CLE) and Akron/Canton (CAK). I once drove from Cleveland Hopkins airport to my driveway in 16 minutes. I think that I must have been flying since it's usually at least a 30 minute drive. The Akron/Canton airport is a 45 minute drive from our house.

There are lots of motels near our home and in locations closer to the airports or even Cedar Point. If anyone needs suggestions, let me know what your plans are and we can find a place that will minimize your driving time.

 

[Patinmn]

I wonder if we should split the post to 2 different threads... one called Barb-Con and the other one "What am I Canned Corn"-Com to avoid confusion between the 2

 

[Towncrier]

Good idea - Perhaps glo will pickup on your suggestion.

 

[disneycub]

Plan on me being there, John!
