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

[NJDiva]

I know I'll be there. We are still trying to convince CT to show up. You know Darcy will most likely make an appearance (hey... we may even finally meet the her boytoy. ).

Did BigE say he was planning on making it down?

I'm not sure about the Diva. I remember her saying she had a trip in October to the caribbean that could conflict, but I don't remember exact details of that.

Anybody else? Oct 13th at WDW?

Actually it's my anniversary and I would be dead if I travel that weekend. And the trip you speak of is a two week cruise to the Canary Islands the following week.
I should be at the Hershey meet...it's right after my sorority convention so my summer is starting out busy

That's the one in Vegas right?

 

[DCTooTall]

I will be there in October. I have taken the time off of work and have a sitter. Looking forward to meet. I have meet Darcy's man. He is awesome.

I've met him briefly before too. She took him to HHN last year and I met him when we met up outside of Jaws....before she decided it was time to leave. Slackers.

I will be there too, but still would like to room with someone(s). I am kinda waiting for discounts for AP's when we are going!

I am most looking forward to going during low crowds, something I have never experienced...

I think I remember Lala saying she was going to the October meet too. Between CT, Lala, etc... i'm sure you can find someone to crash with.

Once you visit during the "low crowds" time, you'll (almost) never want to visit during the peak seasons. October and November before the holidays and January to March are the best times at the parks. Great weather and low crowds!

Seriously... are there even Low Crowd times anymore? Seems like what used to be considered Moderate is the new low.

If we've already established that all the wonderful princesses are here in Texas, why are y'all meeting in PA?

The meet at Hershey is just the "Regional" meet. The idea is a quick and easy meet in the summer someplace that much easier/cheaper to get too for a large number of people. (We've had a Lot of people in the PA/NJ/DE/NY/CT area here). Unfortunately, While the princesses are in TX, Nobody else is really nearby.

BUT.... That's also why we are doing the BIG Disney meet in October. Lower crowd time... Food and Wine... And it's something where everybody can travel down and meet up and have fun.

Somehow this October meet just won't be the same without TDB and the Diva attending.

That's the one in Vegas right?

Heh.... You just moved back to Vegas to be there for all the Sorority Girls, didn't you?


Ok.... So let's make sure I've got everyone so far for the meets.... If I'm missing anyone, let me know and I'll get you added to the list. I'll probably update the first post with the list in a bit anyways so that we can keep track (And maybe attract even more people to join us once they see the fun we're gonna have. )

Me? Never! haha. That'd be a great theory if I wasn't gonna be in Chicago during that time.

The only problem with living in Vegas is "What happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas.".... So you can't escape your not-so-great moments.

 

[ARo19]

to the SSC! And congrats on the first post. We feel so honored to have helped you feel comfortable in your first time. You'll quickly learn that with this group it'll only get better and you do it more often and really learn to get the most of out it.

Feel free to pull up a stool, pour yourself a drink, and jump right into the random craziness that is the SSC!

Thanks for the warm welcome

I totally agree, off season is great and you can also miss the rain more likely in those months...

[DCTooTall]

Thanks for the warm welcome

No problem. We are a friendly bunch here.


Think you'll be joining us for either of our planned meets?

 

[dismem98]

I plan to be there for the Oct meet and am pretty sure Darcy too. At least we've talked about several times.

I know she's been busy with the move and I missed seeing her in May but we are planning out big Aug trup . YEA!!!!

Hope you all have a great time at the Hershey meet

[MICKEY88]

Welcome! This is a super nice bunch of people.







I am amazed at how you keep smiling through everything lately... Says a lot about your character! Or explains why the rum is all gone.

did I hear someone say " The RUM is all gone"?

 

[bluedevilinaz]

did I hear someone say " The RUM is all gone"?

Nope there's still plenty available. don't get too excited now.

 

[DefLepard]

Everyone is enjoying RUM, lots to go around, dive right in

Love love this list!

I know we have discussed TheBigE hosting something and Lala hosting her party. Would think drinking/eating around Epcot would be good for one of the get togethers as well. I have never planned a meet(and it shows)!

Do you think they will come out with AP discounted room rates for Oct soon? I usually rent points but am a bit behind on that, hoping for a good discount. I may go down the weekend before too with DD8, lots of travel...

Who know's what Disney's going to do about AP Rates. They've been weird the past year as they've tried to pull back on discounts. Maybe if we are lucky the AP rate increase will prompt them to give out some good discounts early since they are getting the money via the pass.

As for the meet, Last year I just picked a park and a time and place to meet up. I also gave people my cell # so we could pick up stranglers. Once we got going, it was a lot of play-by-ear. You can also plan on a large ADR if you want to try and wrangle that... but honestly, with F&W, if we do EPCOT it'd probably end up being wasted since people will be snacking all day.

I kinda thought F&W but once we know who will be there and when I'll start to plan some stuff. Like I said, I have the TIW card so reservations somewhere would be good too.

Unfortunately the crowds may not be too low. I've been heading down during October for the past 6 years, and the crowds have been steadily building year to year. It won't be packed, but the crowds will probably be in the moderate levels if last year is any indication. It's still my favorite time of year to visit. Now the World Showcase can get packed on weekends for the F&W fest, but it can also be fun hitting the kiosks with that many people around.

I'm in if anything is going on for 10/13. I'm booked and paid for 10/11 - 10/18. I'm flying down 10/11 and crashing with my parents in Fort Wilderness (they arrive 10/10). I've got a few dinner reservations with my parents as well as the Swan/Dolphin F&W event on 10/12 ... but besides that I sort of do my own thing while I'm down. I have to see what other F&W event are occuring when the schedule finally gets released

For anybody near Bay Lake during that time, the Brocktoon RV should be parked in a preffered campsite near Pioneer Hall. I should be bringing down a couple cases of craft beer, and I've been known to share if anyone catches me while I'm lounging outside. Easy to spot, as we've got a big green Mickey Head out front (pic from last year):

Have you been to any of the Swan/Dolphin seminars? I have been looking at them, but wasn't sure about them. They look like a lot of fun?

I plan to be there for the Oct meet and am pretty sure Darcy too. At least we've talked about several times.

When are you there in August? We are going August 18-26. If this doesn't work for you and Darcy. We will see you in October!

Hello everyone, been away for a while. Been doing a lot of one day things, lots of bike riding. Was in city yesterday hoping to see the shuttle on the barge but they delayed the trip until today so missed it. But did see the 2nd lady on the Colbert Show. Also had a day trip to Raceway Park fr some drag racing

I am a maybe for the Hershey meet, not sure if I am going to go to AllGood this year, which is on the same weekend. They moved it to Ohio this year. Also seeing Phish three days during first week of July! Also a maybe for the Oct meet but will be down there two weeks earlier for the ToT 10 mile race, so not sure I can return so quickly.

Have a good week. Heading up to Boston next week for a long bike ride. Glad it is sponsored by a brewery!

I just need your TIW for drinks. Forget the food.

My son is a huge Phish fan. He's going to see them next weekend.
