Southern New England Disney Fan Meet Jan 2010

[TikiGoddess07]

Hi all!

Welcome to the SNEDFM thread! (could I have chosen a longer title?)

We are looking to gather Disney fans from all over the Northeast -- NYC, CT, RI, MA, upstate NY -- for a grand meet somewhere in CT. This includes any and all Disney fans, from all walks of life and any discussion boards.

Depending on interest, the meet will most likely happen in the greater Hartford area sometime in January 2010.

Possible activities: Disney trivia contest, Yankee swap, dinner, and lots of chat about our favorite topic.

Ideas? Please post below!
Interested? Post here!

I've been browsing these boards for a few years, so I guess this is my first post...

My husband and I were just talking last night about being able to meet local Disney fans and possibly attending the next Magic Meets in PA. He was looking at the Dis this morning and found this thread. So, yes, my husband and I are interested in a Southern NE Dis meet, thank you suggesting this.

We're starting to pull some things together. As of right now, here's the information:

Who: all Mouse-crazy people
What: lunch/dinner and a visit to the Disney Store
When: weekend in January
Where: Westfarms Mall in CT, perhaps California Pizza Kitchen depending on party size (and Disney Store, of course!)
Why? Because Disney people are the best people to talk to! Yankee swaps, trivia, maybe some new contests....

Post here if you're interested, and give dates that you're available.

Thanks!
Kathy

Important information regarding the Southern New England Meet 2010!

We’ve had an amazing response to the meet – almost 30 people are planning to attend! After looking at our dining options at Westfarms, it was decided that we needed to find a decent space to accommodate our large group.

The meet has been moved to the Adams Mill Restaurant in Manchester, CT. They will provide a banquet menu of six different entrees, plus salad and dessert. The price for the entrees will be $16-18 plus tax and tip. We will have a cash bar available. A children’s menu is available. I will have the menu in the next few days. You will have a list of how much each entrée will cost with tax and tip included, so payment will be simple.

Adams Mill is located right off of 84 at 165 Adams Street in Manchester, CT. It is right near the Buckland Hills Mall, Evergreen Walk, Showcase Cinemas, and numerous shops. There are hotels nearby for those of you traveling a long distance.

I'll be calling the restaurant with a final head count in about a week... so if you're interested in joining us, send me a PM!
