Singles Social Club: It's Always 5 o'clock here!

[DCTooTall]

So i was thinking a bit about the October SSC Meet....

What do you guys think about the idea of trying to get an ADR someplace either the day of, or around, the planned meet?

It's still a couple months before we hit the 180 day mark, so we still have time to decide on someplace and have a pretty damned good chance of getting a full 10 person ADR so we have room for everyone (or most of everyone).

Tara, TDB? I know you guys are the ones taking point on this meet, but I figured this might be a fun thing to do, even if it's something simple like a Tonga Toast breakfast at Ohana's before we head into the park.

The one thing I can think of that would probably be worth keeping in mind when deciding on a place, is we would want to avoid someplace that requires a full pre-pay at the time of reservation... such as CRT (and other character meals), or the Wishes Dessert Party (which doesn't open until MUCH closer to the date).

So....nobody talking about what day it is today. No not tuesday, Valentine's Day? Anybody as bothered about it as I am? When I was happily married I didn't care. I always told DH not to spend the money on flowers. We usually just exchanged cards. It didn't matter to me when I had someone I knew loved me. Now I've been aware of every commercial, every store flyer, every tv show theme the last few weeks because it has reminded me that I am alone. And I agreed to wear my RED scrubs to work today and by 11:00 two girls had gotten flowers delivered and one told me her boyfriend bought her a telescope for V Day. But...I decided to make the best of the day and I bought myself a bottle of champagne and some Chinese food on the way home, came home and watched my DVR of Hawaii 5-0. Tomorrow I'll think St. Patrick's day! MacDonalds had the shamrock shake already this morning. I'm getting my green ready! I will be glad not to hear any more about Valentine's Day though!

This is a great idea, I will reach out to TDB about it. I am also renewing my TIW card so we can all enjoy the discount somewhere if we wanted to do it later and enjoy some 5:00 drinks!

Happy love day to all! Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things... Love never fails...

Just think of the bright side...

Tomorrow all that chocolate goes on sale 1/2 price.

 

[ortholablady]

Tomorrow chocolate and a green milkshake! Haha!

 

[stitch1986]

thxs everyone for the welcome to florida, and about the TiW i will get one once i can get a job cause hard to do anything even buy drinks if i dont have the funds lol

 

[1Grumpy9]

I have been reading my tweets the last two days and I really wish I was in Florida right now...I follow a lot of NASCAR people and they are all on their way to Daytona for the start of the season. I just couldn't do it this year (because I was in WDW in October).

 

[ctnurse]

Hello my long lost Florida friends. I have been MIA for a bit. Have a life now.
My love and I are planning a move to Vegas around September. My old job wants me back. Life is awesome.

Hey, lady. I hope all is well. What a surprise about your move. I totally understand about having a life, and being super busy. I will be in WDW in August and then for the DIS meet in Oct.

I'm just wondering were all the other social people went. Tara? TDB? Blue? CTnurse? BigE? ?

I'm here, just posting from the balcony in Cancun. The WIFI here is wicked expensive. Having a great time, we are going parasailing this afternoon.

Ohana's sounds fun, maybe a later dinner before Wishes? I'm not crazy about big breakfast before hitting the parks, plus the dinner is good, and they have these great drinks In a pineapple!!! Regaln Road is also really good, and a lot of fun.

I went parasailing a few years ago on Bay Lake. The View was AMAZING!

While it's not extremely likely, It would be cool if Be Our Guest opens by our meet timing. They are saying "Fall 2012" however, so who knows when exactly it'll open.

I was trying to avoid mentioning a specific park restaurant since I don't know yet which actual park Tara and TDB were thinking about for the meet. Considering it's F&W, i could see them picking either MK or EPCOT Center. (it'll always be an Acronym and "Center" for me...)

 

[snitchesandmice]

I swear I linger away for a few days and the boards blow up! I guess that's what I get. Silly newbie mistake. In my defense though, tax season is kicking butt and i'm trying to finalize plans for an orlando trip this weekend. Oy.

lucky. Sadly, i'm thinking I may have to limit myself to one trip this year for our October meet. can't afford to go crazy like I did last year.

If it helps, I don't think i'm going to actually make it to the park? haha I'd planned to go Friday evening and then spend the day there Sunday. But ANOTHER friend announced she was going to be in town Friday night so we have late ressies in downtown disney. Sunday the friend I was originally going to visit decided to plan a big brunch so that would leave me Sunday afternoon. I think, however, a friend is driving up from Tampa and we're going to hit up shopping at downtown disney. I need stuffs for my kitchen and she's very recently been introduced to pin collecting and has the fever! haha

Annnnd. That's all my rambling no one probably wanted to hear! haha

Wow, jealous (not of the expensive wifi obviously!), travel is my passion! I am here too, and to build on DC's post, where has everyone gone??? This is the best group, we need a topic to get us going, thirsty thursday should get us in the social mood... I am having my usual beer (low maintenance) watching some TV, ready for the long weekend. Does everyone have monday off?

I get the feeling you enjoy Pirates of the Caribbean.

And hey look! Pictures from the 40th! I was wondering when they'd show up. I really should stalk your site more often.

Went parasailing at Castaway Cay a few years ago, what a lot of fun! I thought you would be really blown away by the wind, but it was so calm up there. Hope you had fun!

Monday and a few more days, heading to VT for a little skiing. Hopefuly the snow there will be better than what is around here.

Have a great wekend, everyone!

 

[DisneyBelle27]

Hi guys, I don't know any of you but I was wondering if I could join the party here?

I'll introduce myself a little bit, about to be 29, live in Rockland County NY, have 2 cats. I've been single since August (separated) and my official signing of my divorce papers/court date is actually this month on my bday (an extra present I guess)! I'm currently single, although doing the whole online dating thing.

I have a trip booked for September, I'm doing the Tower of Terror 10 Miler race!! It's the first Disney race I've ever done, and also the first race I've ever registered for, although I'm planning on doing some sooner in the spring. It's also booked as my first ever Disney solo trip!! Although September is a long ways away, so who knows, maybe that'll change.

Anyway, enough, just wanted to say hi!

to the Singles social Club!

Feel free to pull up a chair, pour yourself a drink, and Join in any and all of the fun around here.... you know.... if people decide to stop hiding wherever they are currently hiding and get back here.

I'd point you to the direction of the bartender to place your order, but he's currently not around, so the bar is open. the only recommendation is to steer clear of the Rum since we have a couple 's around here who can be quite protective of their rum.
