What a great Dad he must have been. And what a great tribute you paid to him. A good son....

Coach Rick, so sorry for the loss of your dad. Sounds like you have many memories of your family sharing time together at WDW - what a special thing to have. Keeping you and your family in my thoughts.

 

[Coach Rick]

Thanks for the kind thoughts... Things are looking up...Mom wants to come on the cruise with us next August. I am so relieved that she is not just giving up! This was a cruise we were all supposed to go on this past August, so I am sure it will be bittersweet!

I just found cool new site. Don't know if any of you have seen it yet, but I created a RI group on it. Go to www.disfriends.com. It's perfect for when you need something else Disney to do. Once you become a member, just go to meet, then groups and look for the Little Rhody group. Hope to catch you there too!

Hi, Hawaya?

Next trip is a big family trip in June/July 2010. Possibly a VB trip in October (we'll see how things go)

I was thinking about a RI dis meet-up as well. I'll throw my hat in the ring to help make it happen.

We survived the holidays and are looking forward to our trip in August! Just waiting to add a few more days at BCV (?) at the 7 month mark (which is coming up soon) .

Santa brought us the 3 Night Disney Cruise which we leave for at the end of April followed by a few nights at the Boardwalk. I can't wait!!
I'd be interested in a RI dis meet-up

 

[JasonDVC]

What would we need to set up a dis meet up?

• location: someone's home; small hall rental; park, if in the summer; a rotation of sites; etc

• date: perhaps we would need minimum 2-3 months of advanced notice. So we would be looking at April - May date range

• discussion topics: photos; stories; trip planning tips; etc.

• frequency: Should we hold one annually, semi-annually; quarterly?

• anything else?

Should we invite neighbors from CT and Ma.?

Please give your thoughts. Let's see if we can make this happen. I think it would be great and a lot of fun.

Do we know a ballpark number of Rhode Island DIS'ers? It would be cool to plan it once and see how it goes. Maybe we could all meet at Wright's Farm!!!!

I agree, Wrights Farm would be good, especially in the late spring, early summer. Well, there are 4 of us 2 adults, 2 kids. So you can put me on the list. How do you make on of those add on lists? I will have to investigate

I thought about Wrights farm too.If there are a lot of us we would be in the big downstaairs room. A small hall would work also..give the kids a chance to move around more. we are a family of four..two adults(at times...lol) and two boys 8 and 5. we are going to see the mouse May 6-16 staying at BWV as our first time HOME...after four stays on cash i finally connvienced dh to buy resale!
I'm not sure where/how to strat planning a meet but i am willing to try to help plan it. lets try to keep this post alive and hopefully more RI'ers will reply

Wright's Farm is a great place but won't it be too crowded and too noisy? Do they have a private party area?

It was just a thought since it's economical and oh so "Rhode Island". I bet if we had a definite number of people that were going to attend, they could accomondate us in the back room area.

I created a new thread where people can post their head count Meet-Up Sign Up

 

[JasonDVC]

The North End Cafe in North Providence is easy to get to off 95 or 146. They also have a perfect sized banquet room in the basement. The food is very good and reasonably priced. Take a look, tell me what you think. If it looks OK with everyone I will contact them within the week for availability.

I was thinking Sunday April 12 around 1pm.

Thoughts? Opinions?

 

[peanmunch]

Hey Jason...first off thanks so much for taking this on!!
The North End Cafe looks good to me...but then again I would be up for almost anywhere..lol. The only problem I see is with the date..don't know if you realized but that is Easter Sunday...probably not the best day to plan it on The time of day is great though so those of us with younger kids won't have them out too late. I'm lol at myself thinking how i'm going to get my dh to this one..ummm no I don't know any one but they dis..lol!

Lori

Yeah, Easter Sunday won't work for us either....May is a better month all round for any Sunday afternoon activity.

thanks for doing this!!1
