RiddleCon! All are welcome! **Update on Page 4 - PLEASE READ!**

[NancyIL]

I'm about to vote for all weekends except July 12th - as that might be PatrickIL-ConII in Chicago!

Hotels are quite expensive in Sandusky - even dumps are over $100 a night! I will probably either use hotel points for free nights somewhere - or else hope to share a room with another solo traveler.

DD - how COOL that you'd come all the way to Ohio from Washington!

 

[NancyIL]

I'm pretty sure you can also get group rates on CP hotel rooms. The Breakers Express is the least expensive hotel, but it is the farthest "official" hotel from the park. We stayed there last June, and it was quite nice. Hotel Breakers is right there at Cedar Point - but it isn't cheap.

OKAY - HERE'S THE BUZZ

I've read through this thread and come up with the following preferences:

Elaine: 7/12 7/19 8/2 8/9
Dan: All
Breezy: 7/26 8/2 8/9
Dbld: All
Ranatra: 7/19 7/26 8/2
Diane: 7/19 7/26
Yepod: All
Baboo: 7/12 7/26 8/2 8/9
Towncrier: 7/12 7/19 7/26 8/2
Fire: All
Saffron: 7/12 7/19 7/26 8/2
Kitty: 7/12 7/19 7/26
Lars: All
spb: 7/12 7/19 8/9
Pembo: All
Nancy: 7/19 7/26 8/2 8/9
Julie: 7/26 8/2

I didn't count in those of you who said you'd wait to see what the date was and then come.

I've come up with this tally:

7/12 - 13
7/19 - 15
7/26 - 15
8/2 - 15
8/9 - 12

Sorry to be such a fuddy-duddy about it, but I want to be sure to get the date right so that as many DISers as possible can make it.

I'm going to ask that you let me know if I've got your prefences wrong her, or if I've missed you. Then we can decide on a weekend.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for your understanding and cooperation

Thanks so much too, to our Ohio DIS friends who have offered such nice help and I'm really looking forward to seeing you all.

Will someone be my buddy????

 

[Marla Hellwig]

The July dates right now would be better for me - cos I am thinking of going to WDW in August before school starts again

 

[oldkicker]

Thanks, Marla...

Adding yours in:

7/12: 14
7/19: 16
7/26: 15
8/2: 15
8/9: 12


Gail - I think riddlecon buddies is a GREAT idea!

 

[dianeschlicht]

You got mine right, OK. Hey Marla! Maybe we can have a mini riddle meet in Aug. at WDW! We will be there 8/22-8/27!

 

[faith]

I'm not a riddler, but would love to meet you all! I'll watch for the chosen date, and if possible combine the meet with bringing some of the grandchildren. Going to research the park for rides etc for children 8 and under.

 

[Towncrier]

Sorry that I haven't gotten back to you with the best dates for us. I just checked with Sue and have added our dates. July 26th is my first choice as all four of us could come that day.

 

[oldkicker]

Thanks, John.

I've adjusted the tally:

7/12: 13
7/19: 15
7/26: 15
8/2: 14
8/9: 12

 

[glo]

I can do Aug 2 or 9 crossing my fingers.

 

[oldkicker]

Thank you, Glo!

New tally:

7/12: 13
7/19: 15
7/26: 15
8/2: 15
8/9: 13

 

[oldkicker]

It'd be great to see you there, Faith!

John - I got your PM - sorry I misunderstood - your votes go for 7/19, 7/26 and 8/2 - with 7/26 as the best date.

Adjusting the tally....

7/12: 13
7/19: 16
7/26: 15
8/2: 16
8/9: 13

 

[Breezy_Carol]

You have my dates correct. (So I guess stuffing the ballot box didn't help. LOL)


PLEASE make it a date I can come. I was so excited when it was the last three weekends in the lead.

 

[Helopoh]

Just ran it past DH and he said he didn't know and we probably won't know for a while if we can come. He said if it comes around that we can make it we'll just drive on up and surprise ya'll. He just doesn't want to make a commitment just yet. But here's hoping.

 

[oldkicker]

It'd be great to see you again, Denise.

And great to see you, Sis!
