So who is all in the parks this weekend? Possible Lunch meetup?

[YellowMickeyPonchos]

I know SherryE, my family, and have seen posts from a few others. The December thread kind of fell off my radar! Sound off! We'll have our LGMHs on!

 

[ScubaD]

There are two families flying into Disneyland on Friday night fronm Seattle, and then on Saturday our daughter will be proposed to by her special guy. We have no idea when or where so we will have camaras at the ready.

I sure hope DD is not reading the threads, as this is a surprise. So shhhhhh!

I'm there Thursday/Friday - but at this stage not planning on being in the parks on Saturday as we only have a few hours....keeping my options open though, thanks to SherryE's wonderful advice.

I actually leave tomorrow - and am finishing up my last few hrs of work for the year!!!! hurrah!!!!!

 

[YellowMickeyPonchos]

TiggerNZ - We're there Sunday to Tuesday, so we'll miss you guys. Just make sure to post up, should you need anything. We're just on the other side of town and can help with any emergencies. It's hard to be so far from home should something go wrong.

Take care and have fun!

We get in on Sunday but are planning to spend the day at Knott's and the evening at DCA. Then we will be in both DL and DCA Monday-Thursday.

Thanks, that is actually the reason that we are going. Since we've never been there before it seemed like a good opportunity to check out the park while donating to a good cause. And, since we have a little one who can't ride most of the rides we aren't expecting a whole lot from the day. Mostly we want to see the Snoopy Ice Show and Parade as my DH is Peanuts crazy. I will be happy to ride Pony Express and maybe Ghostrider. Our plan is to get there early and then see where the day goes from there.

Thanks , TiggerNZ for the nice comment about the wonderful advice! I am trying to coordinate my own chaotic, frenzied plan at the moment! Arrrgggghhh. As far as I can see, I THINK my friend and I will be wandering around DTD and the GCH on the evening of 19th, staking out the carolers and gingerbread cookies. On Saturday, I THINK we will probably take advantage of the MM and hit IASW and anything else that might get a long line fast, then try to get as much done in DL as possible during the day! After that, it's all chaos as far as trying to hook up with the other friends in DCA, then head back to DL at night with everyone. On Sunday the 21st, I THINK one of the friends will be with me until late afternoon/early evening (when I will suddenly be on my own in DLR!), and we will try to get anything out of the way in DCA that we missed the previous day (like Aladdin and some other stuff). Then my friend leaves. As of, Sunday late afternoon, I SHOULD be by myself, roaming around aimlessly, all the way up until Monday afternoon, when my friend is supposed to be coming back to get me and take me home. But there is a possibility the friends arriving on Saturday may return on Sunday OR Monday, and so everything is up in the air at the moment! Things keep changing and interfering with my plans! It is fun to go with friends, but sometimes it is hard to coordinate everything so that everyone gets to do the main things they want while we are in certain areas, we eat at restaurants we like and have PS's for them, and we don't zig zag every which way and needlessly tire ourselves out and waste time, not to mention that we don't miss anything terribly important! And somewhere in all of that, I have to squeeze in lots of PhotoPass pictures!

I know at least a couple of other folks are going this weekend too, but I forget who! 1 Goofy Family, maybe? Disneymom8589?

I should have my LGMH hanging off of my black Baggallini somewhere.

Thanks so much for this kind offer, I hope that all will be OK, but I'll be sure to post if I get stuck. Thanks so much.

SherryE - you've been really helpful, and I so appreciate that - in fact all you Dis'ers have been great so thank you all.

I am officially all packed and ready to go - one more sleep - dropping some other friends at the airport at 5am, then back to bed for a few hrs and we fly out at 4pm NZ time! Can hardly wait, am soooooo excited, good thing is I am shattered so will sleep OK I think.

Have a great time everyone who's going between now and Christmas, not sure how much I'll get on but look out for a trip report as soon as I can.....

 

[Colfireman]

We arrive on Sunday afternoon. We may be in the park that night and thru till the 30th of December. I'll be the one with my wife and 3 screaming teenagers......

Not a problem. If you remember, a few months ago, a family from Texas went and her husband had major back issues and they ended up staying almost 2 weeks extra, as they couldn't travel home. Since she wasn't able to post up, none of us knew until after their oldest son drove to CA to get them and take them home. How horrible to have to have suffered through that with no one!

I want to make sure that never happens to any other DISers. We are a community here and that's what folks in a community do for each other!

We're a family of 4 - two little blond toddlers and my photo is in our sig.

If you are near the teacups - I'm the one with the stroller in the "puker's wait here" garden across from the Storybook Canal.

 

[YellowMickeyPonchos]

So who wants to meet for lunch on Sunday or Monday? We're flexible with either one. Once we get some takers, then we'll pin down a park and a counter service restaurant.

Who's in?

Kerri - we already have you down for a date on the weekend of the 3rd! I figure I'll put that thread up right after Christmas.

Make sure you get your names on the list for the DIS Podcast meet at DL in May.
