PAST--RiddleCon!

[Ranatra]

Just booked my room at Days Inn for 3 nights. Arriving Thursday.
Love the Logo Old Kicker!! I definately want one of those T-shirts!

This is getting to sound more like a Days Inn meet than a Cedar Point meet, LOL.

 

[Breezy_Carol]

Dan, so what is your point?

A meet is a meet, right? LOL

 

[Pembo]

The $69.95 rate is NOT AVAILABLE this morning! I knew I should have let the kids run the house and get on-line last night!

Now who is going to let us in to the pool with them........

As to the food, since I have many allergies, I opt for the simplest standard picnic fare. BBQ sauce and potato salad are not on my agenda!

I wish we could just have a spot to meet for more than an hour! When we all go back into the park, we will likely break into small groups. How will we get to see everyone in that short time?

I already have my reservation at the Days Inn, but I just doublechecked the web site. Sure enough - it appears that we scooped up all the $69.95 rooms already! Before anyone cancels their hotel reservation if your should change - see if anyone here can use the reservation.

Since Towncrier plans to stay there Memorial Day weekend - he will be able to give us all the room and pool details before we descend in August!

That's always our philosophy here in Chicago, Carol!!!!.

Can we order the shirts even if we don't get to attend, OK?

I like the tshirt idea so count dd and I in - just let me know.

Since there are so many varied things on the meal maybe we should do the Pizza buffet and salad (or whatever that thing was) or the burgers and brats one.

I will not be swimming (I am just way too bashful about being in skimpy clothes in front of "strangers" - I know you aren't strangers but you know what I mean) but enjoying the company of the DISers and letting my dd swim so I can talk!!!! I hope that will all the older kids they can possibly help with some of the younger kids (I know my dd will be glad too) so that the adults can talk.

I too doubt that I will be showing up in my bathing suit for the meet. I am picturing the kids swimming and the adults enjoying the nachos and Coronas!

Wow- lots of interest in the t-shirts! I will try to get a cost estimate soon and then maybe do a pool for the final design - color of shirt, location of logo, embroider usernames? etc.

 

[The LK 4]

Okay - please yell at me if you see me on this board again during working hours today!

This is my first day back from vacation and I have to complete the payroll today, but I am sitting here dreaming of RiddleCon!!!

Laura! Please tell bullseye_girl that I can't wait to meet her either! I really can't! And I can play a mean game of Marco Polo or flashlight tag too. in case she's be interested. I'm pretty good at Monopoly too, in case there is any down time.

I am NOT a coaster person! I'm not even an amusement park ride person. I love WDW because there is so much I can do! Anyway, if anyone needs help with little ones while they ride the coasters, I'd be willing to help out.

I love the logo Bernie! We like the t-shirt idea! I like the little logo on pocket idea!

As far as the pool party goes, does anyone have any ideas about having food or drinks poolside, like how we could work that out?

 

[December99]

Most times places don't let you have food or drinks in the pool area but sometimes places like this have an outside "patio" that is just off the pool. We have done this when we visit my aunt and her family in Wisconsin - let the kids swim and we crack the door open and go outside and sit and have drinks and snacks.....just a thought. But like someone said earlier (I think it was Nancy) Towncrier can give us more info after he has been there in May!!!

 

[Pembo]

I want t-shirts! Of course thelk4 isn't reading this during work hours...right?!

Saffron-Never fear, there is plenty to do for the Non-rider at Cedar Point! There are 10? live shows everyday that are all excellent and are in air-conditioned theaters! Including Snoopy Rocks! on Ice! Plus you can ride the train......I love the train. And people watching is our favorite sport at Cedar Point. There are some soak-em rides in the back of the park and what people wear on those is worth the price of admission! LOL!!!!

Hmmmmmmm......I hope those of us "locals" can crash the pool party. We'll need to plan a pre-pool party meet for dinner!

About 10 mins from the hotel is a Damon's Restaurant that sits on the Sandusky Bay. I swear the food is better there because of the AWESOME view of Lake Erie and the Bay. Maybe we could reserve some time there too!

aww pembo you mean i can't wear my white tee and white shorts on thunder canyon? Aww go and spoil my plans why don't ya.

Disclaimer: I know better than to wear white on thunder canyon. I'll be the one going on it 3 times in a row because I didn't get wet enough. My husband will just shake his head and say go get white I'll hold you shoes.

 

[December99]

Damon's for dinner sounds like a good plan. I am planning on being there by 2 or 3 at the latest so maybe dinner at 5 for those coming in????? Do you know if they take ressies????

 

[The LK 4]

uh oh, Pembo busted me! Logging off and getting back to work...

P.S. Pre-meet at a restaurant and then pool party? OK for us!

This warning goes double for you, dear lady!

My favorites coming off the water rides are those in JEANS! First, why would you wear jeans in the summer? Why would you go on a water ride in them? LOL!!!!!



I'm prety sure Damon's takes ressies. They have an area in the restaurant that is for "large groups". I can taste that onion loaf now.........
