Glendamax,

Illuminations occurs EVERY night, at the official closing time of Epcot. So we will be able to see it after the last Candlelight Processional.

PennConn,

I posted my master schedule here a couple of days ago, on Page 10 of this thread. As Colette said, no two people's schedules are exactly the same, as several of us are doing some things together, but there will be some things that one or two of us do and others choose not to do. One reason I posted my master schedule here is so that anyone interested in any of my activities can contact me here and we can make plans to meet up for that activity. So if anything on it looks appealing to anyone reading this and you'd like to join in, please let me know!

As my plans continue to develop, I will add more details to my master schedule.

On 12/14 when we go to Pleasure Island, I would like to see TWO comedy shows and also go to the Adventurers' Club. Each comedy show there is unique!

Colette,

When you call for info about parasailing, please ask if people ever accidentally fall into the water. Of course we would wear life jackets, but I'd only want to go at all if we are not likely to fall in.

It's great that dining reservations are available for every ten minutes!

Everyone,

I'm excited about our plans, and I hope even more people will sign up here to meet with us!

Daisy

Glendamax,
You'll be at MGM on the 12th, as will some others and we'll be making PS for 50's Prime Time Cafe for dinner, before the Osborne Family Lights-do you want to go there? That's a fun place to kick back and act "Goofy"......
Colette

Yes! Sounds good to me! So I'll be meeting you all for Primetime on the 12th, and LeCellier on the 13th!

 

[Colette]

Glendamax,
Great-I'll add you in for Prime Time-if we go about 6 ;00, we'll have plenty of time to get to the Osborne Family Lights.

Daisy,
I've got the questions and I'll call this afternoon when I get home-got home too late yesterday. I don't want to risk getting dropped in the water either-want to be able to head on to one of the parks from there.

Colette

Just keep planning just keep planning

Daisy,
I don't know what happened to my post re: parasailing, but I did talk to a nice guy who assured me that you wouldn't end up in the water and that the life jackets are only a precaution. He says it's a similar sensation to Soarin' so I'm definately in because that's my favorite ride. They have a website-www.sammyduvall.com where you can check out the prices etc. He says that it's not necessary to book so early because that's thier slowest time of the year and they don't open until 10:00(winter hours)-every half hour. Morning is best, which is what we want anyway, so let me know what you think and anyone else who wants to do something new and exciting. He says that the views are fabulous and you can take a disposable camera, plus they'll take pictures for you.
I think I have a correct list so far for dining, but will add extra seats for people who join us later. It's just you and I ,Daisy for Flying Fish Cafe, so if anyone else wants to join us, let me know. I still have 12/10 open, at night, but that's the day I arrive, so may just go to Magic Kingdom or Downtown to do some shopping and catch fireworks and a parade.

Antss,
I just finished reading your trip report-from April 2001, with all the wonderful pictures. It was wonderful-it's raining here, still, and it's my only day off for 2 weeks, so took a break from housework and got my Disney fix-thanks.
I think I'm going to enjoy POFQ-it looks so nice and I like the boat that takes you to Downtown Disney. I stayed at POR last time, but it's so big, like CBR and I think smaller will be better for me.
Colette

Antss,
I meant to say, April, 2007-got mixed up with your signiture-looks like it was a fun birthday-i'm looking forward to having my birthday at Disney because I usually work, if not, my son is working, so never a special day-BUT this year will be different... When I make the res for dinner at Le Cellier, should I tell them that it's my birthday? Colette

Am continplating a Solo next year! Have no idea about this .. such asis hotel room double because you are solo, I know the dining is fine and the parks but just wondered how the hotel works. Help please!!

only if you do a package that is based on double occupancy would be your concern. i go solo and did the special package some 4 years ago. i called disney and spoke to a supervisor to get the solo rate. the rate is not cut in half when it is a promo but a lower figure if you are booking for solo.

for example, the promo 4 years back was something like a value room package made the room about $49 a day each. there was a 4 day minimum booking. so instead of the room being about $100 a night, the supervisor gave me the solo rate of about 75% of the cost. i did come out ahead instead of paying as if it was double occupancy.

if there are no promos for a package, then no problem. you pay the room rate as is.

colette, if you go to the mouseforless site, and in the search area list parasailing you will get a trip report and pictures of one member who did the parasailing event.

i tried to link it over to you in a pm but it failed.

 

[Colette]

Macraven,
Thanks, I got to the info on MFL, but no discounts. It sounds like so much fun, I'm definately going to do it.

colette, once you get the email you are a member, send an email to binnie the owner of the board. she was the one that did the parasailing and the discount was at one time listed on the discount page.

i looked and didn't see it. but, maybe it is still available.

yes, it does look like fun!

 

[DaisyDuck001]

Colette,

I'm glad to know that you don't fall in the water, not even accidentally, when parasailing.

If we go in separate parachutes, then wouldn't we have to be in different boats also, and/or at different times? Then in what sense would we be able to do this together?

Yes, I think you should mention it's your birthday on 12/13 when you make the dining reservation. You will also be able to get a button saying "It's my birthday" when you arrive at Epcot.

To get more people for the Flying Fish dinner on 12/11, would you like one of us to start a separate thread for that?

Daisy

 

[DaisyDuck001]

Englishrose,

If you just book a room rather than a package, the price is per room, not per person. You would be paying "double" only in the sense that you have no one to split the cost with.

By the way, if you could go in the second week of December this year, there would be several of us solos there that you could meet up with for some meals and activities.

 

[Colette]

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. The boat holds up to 6 people and I read that family or friends could come along for the ride, so I'm sure we could just switch off, but I'll call and check, to be sure.
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]

Daisy,
We would go out on the same boat and do seperate flights, so that would be fun and we could take extra pictures, that way. Let me know...Colette

That would be fine with me, if the parasailing company will let us do that.

Will we be taking turns on the same parachute then, or can they launch two parachutes from one boat, so that we are airborne at the same time, in separate parachutes?

We could try for 10AM on 12/13.
