[Nancy]

I'm going to try to get to this meet. Even if I'm still on overnights, the falls is so close the drive won't do me in. Looking at my calender we have nothing planned. Just put me down for 1 person and if plans change I'll let you know. Where exactly in the RFC? I'll come over on the rainbow Bridge.

 

[Nancy]

Spoke too soon. Got an invite for a family baby shower in the mail yesterday for that same day. Guess I miss another meet. (I'd much rather be at the meet the the shower, but you know how relatives can be!!!)

Hi all, back from a trip to the world and looking forward to the meet. We can "hold" the back cove area for 32 for five minutes after ressie time. I booked 11:45 am for lunch to beat crowds. We will have separate checks and our group will be at a table of 12 and two tables of 4 pushed together to seat 10 each. Without a set menu they will not treat this as a group so we need to maybe meet outside 15 minutes early and go in together. (I have not a list of names or counted, has anyone?) Clifton Hill will be extremely busy that time of year and parking is at a premium. You can use the Casino parking garage and you will probably be way at the top; and it takes 10 to 15 minutes to manuver there. Me - I park at work, walk across the Rainbow Bridge and in 12 minutes I am in front of Rainforest!! If anyone cannot make it and have signed up please post so we can make the proper ressie. The other activities attached to Rainforest are starting to open. A roller Coaster, a Dinasour dark Ride etc. Looking forward to meeting you all. Keep posting, and let me know what else might be needed.

Thanks Niagara 2, if you go in the thread, I have done a quick count, it looks like we will have about 35 people, if all attend. Do they have an earlier time slot? I suppose we could gather outside starting at 11:15, that way by approx 11:30 most will have arrived and we can start being seated. What name have you used for the "hold", so those running late, can be seated as they arrive? I will try to be outside by 11:15, perhaps we can meet then. This should be fun. For those coming from out of town, please remember that QEW Niagara traffic can be busy on weekends, and as stated it will take awhile for you to find parking and perhaps walk over. Does everyone know where the restaurant is? Please let us know if your're not sure. Anyone else interested in attending, it's not too late, but we will need to know soon. Can't wait to meet you all. Maryann

The Rainforest Cafe is at the base of Clifton Hill in the spot that Ripley's Wax Museum was for years. It is around the cornor from the Sheraton Foxhead and One block from the Falls. It is also right next to Casino Niagara. I will call my contact Monday to make a earlier ressie - but the secret to getting our seats is to walk in together. I have ate here twice already and the food is normal Rainforest fare and quality, but the service is still being worked on. Very nice servers but the systems and procedures are still be worked on to get the bugs out. I will post the definate time, meeting place and name. Also - maybe we should all wear Disney shirts. I am sure we all have more souvenirs then we care to admit to!! (LOL)!

I went to the NF RFC about a week ago. We sat in the back area and it's big enough to accomodate 35 people. They are still working on the outside and the volcano didn't work. They have balloons for kids but you have to ask for one, they didn't volunteer any. We walked in about 11:30 am and sat down right away, it wasn't busy. They had a parrot and trainer outside and a SHARK in a tank inside COOL!

Looking forward to seeing and meeting DIS folks! Chat soon!

PS. PARKING. We usually park in three different areas

(1) METRE parking on Victoria, but that's only for fast trips.

(2) FREE parking over at the SKYLON, but that's only for long trips when we want to walk. It's a 30 minute walk to Clifton Hill.

(3) PAY parking at the top of Clifton Hill near the Golden Griddle, it's was $7.00 on Friday.

 

[Niagara2]

Let's meet outside no later than 11:15am. Alot to do in area so do not b e afraid to go early. The Casino is next door so if you are on a winning streak and late, watch out - the bill will be yours!! (LOL)!!
The ressie is under DIS Boards, Niagara Majestic and each family will have a separate check and order off the menu. I again was warned that it will be busy, so we need to walk in as a group at the right time.
Looking forward to meeting all of you!

 

[maryann4086]

Thanks again/ I will try to be out front at around 11:00. in case anyone arrives a little early. Would it be easier if I had a small sign or had some to Disney item for you to recognize. Anyway, it's getting exciting, see you all there. If anyone needs help with directions please let Niagara2 or myself know, and we'll help you out,.

 

[nativetxn]

Okay, meet out front? I want to get this right, don't want to miss this meet.

11 am in front of RFC at the base of Clifton Hill.

Who wants to babysit me? LOL, I don't want to wander around looking for everyone like I did in Toronto. I'm still very sad about missing that meet.

[maryann4086]

Nativetxn, I will be standing out front at 11:00 with a small sign, also one of my daughters will be wearing her, RFC Orlando tshirt, she you then. If you need anymore specific directions let me know, Don't want to miss you!!!

I CAN'T COME

DH, just found out he has to work!! I am so used to his being able to take off whatever days he wants to, that I just assumbed he would be able to take off this weekend too. It sucks to be the new addition to the totem pole!!! I keep forgetting that he is in a new job. He never seems to change his hours much, so, it always seems to be the same ole thing.
Needless to say, I am real upset. What can I do? Short of divorcing him? I guess I could leave him, but, after being together for the last, almost 29 years, I would kinda be lost without him! Besides, he makes me laugh.
What can I say, I love him. As much now, as the day I married him. Yeah, I know that sounds rather yucky, and old fashioned, but it's the way it is! He keeps me grounded. He is the other half of my heart. The other half of my heart belongs to Mickey!!!
I hope you all have a great time at the meet. Would some one please have a drink for me?
I will spend that morning in this horrible apt., thinking of you you all there having a great time, and wishing I was there with you!! Make sure you take lots of pictures. Post them, or just send them to me. PLEASE PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

Thinking of you all,

Linda Bignell,
Lonely in Brampton

 

[maryann4086]

Is there anyone coming in from the Brampton area who you drive with? WOuld still like you to attend, even if hubby can't. Oh well, if anything changes, please let us know.

 

[nativetxn]

We are going Friday night or I would offer to stop by and pick you up, Linda. Is Brampton very far from NF?

 

[sammi]
