April/May are good for us...except sunday 10th (mothers day) and Sunday 17th

Sounds like May is the preferred month. Let's go with Sunday May 3rd. May 10 is mother's day, peanmunch can't make it on the 17th and the 24th is Memorial Day weekend.

May 3rd sounds just about right. Please let me know if this OK with all of you. I would like to accomodate everyone as best as possible. Let me know.

You can tell him you are going to meet some of the people that make his disney trips great! But, seriously, I am also in your shoes........

lol...I think he about wants to tape my mouth shut at Disney when I say "the dis says......." or he rolls his eyes and say "oh did you read that on the dis!!" . We did do a meet on a disney cruise two years ago and he went along with that but he was kind of 'already there'....He is one of those people that acts like he knows you two seconds after he meets you so it's actually easier for him to meet new people than it is for me so I'm sure once I get him to go he will be the social chatterbox of the two of us !

Hi guys, definitely be interested in a dismeet.

We just returned this past Friday night from a trip to BWV. We were originally scheduled to leave last Sunday morning, but with the impending storm, we moved it too Saturday morning. What a good move that was!

Crowds were very light, it was a great trip. Had to dress warm down there though too as it was in the 40's a couple of the mornings.

Very hard coming home when the temps on the car said 2 degrees! Brutal.

Originally I said we were "in", now that the date has been chosen I realize that this is the date of a First Communion we are attending (close friends' daughter). I'm bummed we'll have to miss the first RI Dis-meet . If, for some reason, the date of the meet changes let us know!

I hope you guys post some info and pics about how it all goes!

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) .

We're going in August too. DD's Sweet 16 and DS's first trip (they're 10 years apart-don't know what I was thinking! ). August is sooooooooo far away! We're staying at SSR this time around, but I might try to switch to Animal Kingdom-DS would love the animals. Has anyone stayed in the villas yet?

Anyone else still snowed in? I can't believe all the snow this winter!

 

[peanmunch]

We are going May 6-16 and if the hours don't come out soon I might just POP !!!!!!!!!!! I have a list of possible ADR's (chef mickeys is already set for the 6th) but can't quit organize it with out park hours ...and yes....too much snow = too much time on my hands to think about ADR's

We made our reservations at the 11 month mark so 4 months have already ticked away! We have 5 nights booked at AKV in a 1BR concierge villa right now and I have to call in a few days to try to add 3 nights at BCV . My DH isn't totally convinced about the extra points needed for concierge but I figured we'd try it once - I want to try the Sunrise Safari ! We stayed in a savanna view villa in Aug. 2007 shortly after the first few villas opened. If your DS loves animals, there's nothing that compares to waking up and seeing giraffe walk by as you eat your breakfast. You shouldn't have a problem switching if you wanted. Kidani will be open by August so a lot more villas will be available to everyone.

It seems like we've had a ton of snow so far this winter I don't know how much more we can take!

Update...I will be stopping by North End Cafe this evening to reserve the room. I'll let you know what happens.

If you see any other RI'ers on the boards, please let them know about thios thread and the meet-up. I think we can get over 20 total people easily.

Thanks

 

[Monte Cristo]

Just bumping this up to say hello!

Another day closer to spring.

 

[JasonDVC]

Meet-up update...

Spoke with teh North End Cafe on Friday. Unfortunately May 3rd won't work and the rest of may is filled with holidays and vacations. They do have Saturday June 6 or Sunday June 7 available. I was think either Saturday around 7pm or Sunday around 1pm.

Please post your thoughts as I am likely to reserve the room late this afternoon. Thanks!

 

[Monte Cristo]

Either is fine with me.

Are we doing a kids or no kids event?

If it is kids I'd rather Sunday and if it is no kids I'd rather Saturday. Either way I'm sure we'll go.

 

[peanmunch]

I would have to vote for sunday at 1:00...my five year old is so not a night owl and would be on the downward side of crabbey and ready to go home by 7:30...lol

Lori ..counting the minutes untill May 6th..if the park hours would ever come out

OK, we are all set for Sunday June 7 at 1pm at the North End Cafe in North Providence.

We would have our own private room. Click on the link above to check out the place and the menu.

Figuring on a buffet for a minimum 30 people. I was thinking Chicken Marsala and Baked Scrod for the entrees, garden salad, and roasted potatoes. We would be looking at $16 per person plus tax & tip.

It looks like by head count we have about 22 already.

How does all of this sound? Of course your input is vital to this process so please share.

Great question! I'm sure there will be a number of children there that are "light eaters."

What would be the best way to handle that? Cut children cost in half and spread the difference amongst adults? What do you think?

The per person price is based on buffet pricing. I figured a buffet would be best to hold down cost for everyone.

Keep the questions coming!
