The kids and I don't have any plans for that morning and would join you gladly if the reservation can be changed to accomodate 3 additional people. But we will understand if it cannot.

That would be awesome!!!!! What do you say Dizny Dad?

Hi Groupies!
I've missed you! I'm so far behind on the thread.... Life has been really hectic.

I was thinking today that I should send out a reminder about our upcoming breakfast meet and came to the thread and, surprise, others are thinking the same thing!

I made reservations for 10 and will call tomorrow to see about adding 2 more to the reservation.

So glad to have you join us stopher and hopefully your family as well Kathy. Oh what fun!

Inkmahm, I know you would have preferred a little earlier, so if I'm not able to add 2 to the current time, I'll see about a few minutes earlier and will report back tomorrow.

Sleep sweet my Groupie friends, for the countdown to our favorite place is getting closer and closer.

 

[Inkmahm]

Yay! I'm really looking forward to breakfast with the groupies. I was so disappointed when we couldn't get to the meet last year due to extended family arriving at MCO at the same time as the meet. This year we are much more flexible.

Next topic: I agree with many of the comments about changes and upgrades needed at the various parks. Dynaguy will tell you though that AK is his favorite park of all. We love the animals, especially the safari ride. We always ride that one at least twice. Lion King is a favorite, too. And EE, of course. Tusker House is one of his favorites for lunch in any of the parks with their salmon and green beans. Dynaguy also knows all the words to It's Tough to be a Bug. We tend to go to EMH and are done at AK by mid-afternoon. Then we head to DD for the rest of the afternoon and to Jiko for dinner. Boy, are we creatures of habit! I agree that the park is really hard as far as walking with everything so far apart. I'd love easier paths, a people mover, SOMEthing to help save my feet. I'm not really looking forward to the Avatar addition since I've never seen the movie. Maybe I'll have to rent it before that section of the park opens.

If anyone has extra time on their WDW trips, please consider the option of offering some of it to Give Kids the World. I haven't suggested this on any other DIS forum, but I know there are many good people here who may be interested.

Dynaguy and I signed up to be angels (volunteers) and we work our first shift December 6th. While I'm unemployed, I have extra time available for extra trips to Disney and more days on the trips we are there. We're going to volunteer when we can in anticipation of being able to volunteer more hours someday when we can be "snow birds" after retirement.

Anyway, please check it out if you have any interest at all. Shifts can be as short as just a couple hours.

Enjoy your breakfast, it sounds like fun!

I invited our Lithia branch of the family over to WDW for that Friday night, we got a room for them at WL, and we'll be eating breakfast on Saturday at WC, a day too late.

 

[blossomz]

Wishing I could be there!!! Sounds wonderful!

I wish you could be there too!

Thanks! I'm actually considering a job move....hmmm...you never know! Lol

Firming up our little Groupie Meet on the evening of Thursday, December 8. So far, I think the following have indicated an interest:

• Stopher
• Granny
• Dizny Dad & Di
• TwoKats
• Disney Lovin Iowan

I think we talked about meeting at VWL Iron Spike Room (yes, I have issues with change!).

We are leaving on the 9th, so the breakfast thing won't work for us. Too bad, as you all will have a great group there too!

So, for those interested in the evening of the 8th...do you have a time preference? We don't have any ADR's that day, so we are pretty much open as long as we can still hit a park before we leave.

 

[Muushka]

I hope you all have a great time! Really (no, REALLY) wish we were going to be there!

Not to change the subject, but did anyone watch the NASCAR race last night??
Whew, very exciting! Go Smoke!

 

[DiznyDi]

Granny, we don't get in until late afternoon on the 8th.
It will probably be around 6 until we're actually at the Lodge. If the Iron Spike Room remains the meeting place, we'd love to stop and make your acquaintance!

 

[supernova]

Sorry to be missing it. I don't arrive until Dec 11

YES, the Iron Spike Room is great. I do plan on being there. Evening is fine with me. 5, 6, 7... whatever. I see that Di&Dad won't get to the Lodge until around 6 - so how does that time sound?

That would be great, as long as Di and Dad don't feel rushed to go right into a Groupie meet! We can plan on 6:30 or so if that works. Di & Dad can catch up if they are delayed.

 

[bobbiwoz]

Enjoy your meets/meals together! Someday, I'll catch up with the Groupies! Diane has a meet planned for the following week, and that does work for me, and some others here!
