Daisy,
It's fine with me if we're the only 2 for Flying Fish, but I'll book a table for 4 in case someone wants to join us later.
I was thinking that you and I could meet and take the boat from POR to downtown Disney, to get the bus to the Boardwalk. I'll, have my cell phone with me to connect with everyone, should we miss each other.
Colette

Colette,

It would also be OK with me if we're the only two for Flying Fish, but it's still more than half a year away, and I bet more people would want to join us later. Would it be OK if I start a new thread about the Flying Fish dinner? Someone may be interested, who hasn't read this thread.

It would be fun to take the boat from POR to Downtown Disney sometime, but I don't know where I'll be starting from on 12/11 before I go to dinner. I could be in one of the parks, or elsewhere on the property. So it may work out better if I just meet you at Flying Fish that evening.

Daisy,
We would go on the same boat, but go up seperately-there is only one. When we make reservations, we can book for 10:00 and 10:30. We'll have to each call because you have to use a credit card to hold the res.
That's right-I was thinking that I may come back to the hotel before going to dinner, but not necesarilly, so it will be easier to meet at the restaurant. Sure, go ahead and start a thread for the Flying Fish-hopefully others will join in-and maybe Antss, if she can come that week....

PennConn,

Not sure if you already saw my schedule on Page 10 of this thread. On 12/9 and 12/10 I plan on doing MouseFest activities. MouseFest usually winds down on Monday, so I may be able to fit in something else that day also, like maybe the Yuletide Fantasy Tour. 12/11, I'm thinking of doing some resort tours during the day. Flying Fish and Jellyrolls at night. (I'm not into seafood, but their menu has some great non-seafood items I want to try). 12/15 will be my departure day, so I may not get to do much that day other than leave. Not sure yet what time I'm leaving.

Colette,

OK, then there is just one boat and just one parachute. So I can ride the boat when you go up in the parachute, and you ride the boat when I go in the parachute? OK, we can book for 10AM and 10:30AM then, if time slots are every half hour. (It looks like the parachute ride is only 10 minutes, but I guess they need the rest of the time for takeoff and landing, etc.)

OK, I'll start a new thread for the Flying Fish dinner.

I would be up for going to the Magic Kingdom and touring the monorail resorts (Contemporary, GF and Poly), and Wilderness Lodge by boat on 12/11 if you were interested. Would anyone else care to go?

 

[Colette]

Daisy,
Yes,
one boat and one at a time, but we'd both be there to "support" each other, so when we get closer, we can both call on the same day and book the 10:00 and 10:30-cool-this is going to be exciting....

Rich,
I'm open on the 11th and would love to tour the hotels to see the decorations and do some shopping-I think that Daisy might want to do the same-on the evening of the 10th, I'll probably go to downtown Disney, becasue that's my arrival day and I don't expect to be at the hotel before 3:00, and want to get settled in, so maybe just some shopping at Downtown and a quick dinner....

[PennConn]

Sat 12/8 Arrive AM / Magic Kingdom PM

Sun 12/9 Epcot / Pleasure Island Evening

Mon 12/10 Animal Kingdom AM * / Open PM / Downtown Disney Evening (?)

* AK is by far my LEAST favorite park, so I rarely spend a lot of time there

Tues 12/11 MK AM / Resort Tours PM / Jelly Rolls Evening (No Flying Fish)

Wed 12/12 Typhoon Lagoon AM / MGM PM / 50's Prime Time Dinner / Osbourne Lights Evening

Thurs 12/13 Open AM / Epcot PM / Le Cellier Dinner / Candlelight Processional Evening

Fri 12/14 Crystal Palace Breakfast / Magic Kingdom AM / Open PM / Pleasure Island evening (Possibly Wolfgang Puck)

Sat 12/15 Typhoon Lagoon AM / Open PM / Cape May Clambake Dinner

Sun 12/16 Fly home to Conn

How does that sound so far?

one day closer.....

I would love to do this, but that's the day I arrive, and I'm usually beat. I MAY try to squeeze in MK since touring plans suggests that it will be the least crowded park that day. Before we go, we should all exchange cell numbers so we can find each other.

 

[DaisyDuck001]

Regarding touring resorts on 12/11 --

My original thought was to go on the guided tours offered at WL in the morning and AKL in afternoon. I think each of these is no more than an hour, so that would leave plenty of time for walking through lobbies and grounds of other resorts that may not offer guided tours. I am open to this also, as long as I can fit in the guided tours.

Does anyone know if WL and AKL are the only WDW resorts offering free guided tours of their lobbies and/or grounds?

Colette,

The parasailing plan for 12/13 looks good.

So does your overall schedule. No two people's plans in this group are exactly alike, but we'll enjoy some shared activities.

Daisy

 

[Colette]

Daisy,
I didn't know about the free tours-that sounds great-I'd be interested in doing that,then going to the others.

Glendamax,
I definately agree with exchanging cell phone numbers before we go, but we should do it by e-mail.
Colette

 

[DaisyDuck001]

PennConn and Colette,

I'm glad we can go on guided and unguided resort tours together on 12/11. (I'll probably already have toured some lobbies with Mousefest, so at that point I may prefer to focus on the ones I haven't been to yet.) For sure, I'd like to do the guided tours at WL and AKL.

Colette,

For the parasailing, will I have to pay extra to be a passenger on the boat when it's your reserved half-hour time slot?

Daisy

hey add me to the phone tree Okie dokie!!!

I should be in WDW by 3pm. So if you are doing the tour after then, maybe I can join you since I'm staying there.

Glendamax,
I definately agree with exchanging cell phone numbers before we go, but we should do it by e-mail.
Colette

Yes! Definetly! I just got Antss number via PM. I think she's starting a phone tree.

 

[Colette]

Good morning all,
I just sent my cell phone number to you all and also my last name, so you know it for PS ressies. I know that everyone doesn't use their real name here, so that would help.
Daisy, It doesn't cost more to be on the boat together-actually, it saves them time because if they have to go back to the dock to drop someone off and pick someone else up, they book each hour. When we call we'll have to both tell them that we're together and both going at 10:00, but going up seperately.

Glendamax, On 12/11, Daisy and I are meeting at the Flyng Fish Cafe for dinner at 6:00, then over to Jellyrolls to meet Rich and anyone else who decides to join us, so if you want to meet us for dinner, let me know. I'll book a table for 4, anyway, just in case, unless we need one larger.
