When are you Going? Post Your Dates and Find A Match!!! Things to do! Peeps to Meet!

I would definitely like to go on a tour of Wilderness Lodge, but other than that I was thinking more of sticking with the monorail resorts and touring them informally, as they are so close to the Magic Kingdom, and it would not use up enormous amounts of time. But if I can fit it in, I'll join you for the AKL tour too.

 

[DaisyDuck001]

PennConn,

I haven't been able to find out the exact start time of the WL tour, but I think it's around 9:00 or 9:30 AM. You are welcome to do that one with us, even if the other ones don't fit with your plans.

I may also want to visit Saratoga Springs, Old Key West, and other non-monorail resorts.

Glendamax,

The AKL tour that I want to go on starts at 4:00PM, so if that works for you, please join us! (This is a tour of Jiko and Boma, and it starts at Jiko.)

We should confirm these times when it gets closer to December, in case WDW changes any of them.

Colette,

Glendamax said earlier that she thinks she will be too tired to go to Flying Fish that night, as that's her arrival day, and she may just want to stay at AKL the rest of the day and evening.

But please go ahead and book a table for four, or even six. More people may join during the next few months. Last year, I didn't even start planning my December meals until fall, and there were lots of other people who started planning around the time I did, and even later.

Good morning all,
I'm compiling cell phone numbers and when I have the PS done, next month, I'll PM each of you with a list of both. I'm on my way to work for 34 hours-be home tomorrow night-at least she has an air conditioner-it's hot here! Have a fun and safe Memorial Day..... Colette

 

[ANTSS2001]

I'll be there then but I won't be solo. I have my wedding on 2/8/08, so I'm coming in on 2/5 although that might change to a bit earlier

awesome... will have to update the list !

I would be up for WL at 9 AM or 9:30 AM and AKL at 4 PM (I'll go to the MK in between)

It's so funny that we are doing all this planning for a WDW trip in December, yet I'm going to Montreal on June 28 and haven't done ANY planning yet! LOL

 

[ANTSS2001]

Hope everybody had a good weekend....

 

[DaisyDuck001]

We may have to make a small change to our morning plan for 12/11. I just read that the WL tour is offered only Wednesday-Saturday, but I don't know if that schedule changes seasonally, or if it's that way all year. I think the tour is at 9AM, but I don't know if that's also subject to change.

I'll post again if I manage to get more definite info about this.

We can still do AKL tour that afternoon.

Colette, from where does the parasailing start? Would it be convenient to do the WL tour on your birthday, just before the parasailing? If not, I'll look for another day for the WL tour.

Daisy

 

[Colette]

Daisy,
12/11 is open all day for me, so whatever we do is fine. The parasailing is from the Contemporary Hotel, which means 2 busses to get there, so have to allow extra time or book for later in the morning. They did say that early seems to be better because of less breeze, although it's totally hit or miss especially at that time of year.
My TA just told me that I don't get DDP for my first day because it's a free night, so I'm a day short for dining and Flying Fish is 2 dining credits. I'm really trying to stick to the plan and not have to spend "out of pocket" so that I can do the parasailing, so is there another option for 12/11 or is that a definate for you? I thought I'd call and see if they will add a day to the plan for me, even though she says they won't-you never know. Let me know what you think and I'll give them a call. Colette

 

[DaisyDuck001]

Colette,

OK, since you can't do Flying Fish, and no one else had signed up to go there that evening, I think I'll move my Flying Fish dinner to 12/5. Maybe 12/11 could be a dinner at 1900 Park Fare, which is another must-do on my list. However, I'm also starting to wonder if we should interchange all the plans for 12/11 with those for 12/12, since it seems the WL tour is offered only Wednesday-Saturday, so we could not do it on 12/11. The AKL tour is offered daily except Sunday, so switching days would be OK for that one.

If we don't interchange all the 12/11 plans with all the 12/12 ones, then we just need to find another day for the WL tour at 9AM, since it's not offered on 12/11.

I'm working on an updated version of my schedule, and will post again when it's ready. I should be eligible to call for my dining reservations on 6/7. (You're making the reservations for the meals we'll have together, but I still need to call for all my other ones.) I'll post my revised plan before that, in case anyone would like to join me for any other meals not already discussed.

Daisy,
12/12 is fine with me for the tours-I'm just booked for the evening at MGM(50's Prime Time Cafe and Osborne Family Lights). Let me check out the menu for Park Fare-I believe it's a buffet, but have never been there. Boma is also a nice buffet. Colette

 

[Colette]

Daisy,
Park Fare looks like a great buffet and some new characters-for me, anyway, so that works for me. Let's see if anyone else wants to join that one, on 12/11. Colette

Hi Colette,

This is a bit complicated, but if we do the resort tours on 12/12, then I would go to Universal Studios on 12/11 instead of on 12/12, so I wouldn't be able to meet for dinner at WDW on 12/11. My original plan was to do the resort tours on Tuesday, but apparently the one at WL is only offered Wednesday-Saturday, so it looks like I need to re-arrange my plans by exchanging everything I would have done Tuesday with everything I would have done Wednesday. I can't easily switch only some elements and not others, because Universal will take a whole day and evening.

Sorry for this confusion, but I didn't know the WL tour was only on certain days of the week.

I'll try to revise my whole schedule this weekend to reflect this and any other recent additions, and post the new one here.

Daisy

 

[Colette]

Daisy,
If you do that, then I'll book MVMCP for 12/11, but will still keep MGM and 50's Prime Time Cafe for 12/12 in the evening, so can do resorts in the morning.

I have added Planet Hollywood to 12/10 for dinner. That is the day I arrive, so thought early dinner and some shopping at DTD would be nice, if anyone's interested. Kat is joining me.

Let me know so that I can book MVMCP. Colette

First I need to confirm what days WL has the tour, to make sure it's really necessary to switch my plans for 12/11 and 12/12. I tried to ask this question before, and I was not able to speak with anyone who knew the answer, but I'll try again. I hope to get back to you by the end of the weekend. Sorry for the delay, but the people I spoke with at the main WDW number didn't know about the WL tours, and when I asked them to put me through to WL, no one answered the phone.

 

[ANTSS2001]

hey guys...sorry I have not been around... it has been a hectic week... with my aunt passing and now we're trying to go throw all her stuff but it is hard for my uncle so we are kinda doing it .. not doing it.. doing it again situation... bear with me...

 

[Colette]

Antss,
Sorry to hear about your Aunt. It's good that you're helping your uncle going through things-that's a difficult part. Take your time-our thoughts are with you. Colette

 

[Colette]

Daisy,
I've decided not to do MVMCP, so will keep 1900 Park Fare open if anyone wants to go, and if you decide to keep your original schedule, we'll be all set.
I think Rich is interested. Colette

 

[kat3668]

So sorry about you aunt Antss, your uncle is very lucky to have you.

Is the WL Tour really worth all this aggravation? Since we seem to be keeping all the dinner plans intact, I'll probably just tour some of the monorail resorts and possibly WL by boat on my own on Dec 12, rather than rearrange my entire schedule.

(But on the other hand we have over 6 months to go, so plenty of time for changes. And I STILL haven't started planning my intinerary for Montreal June 28 - July 1! LOL)

Colette - As we discussed via E-Mail, I would love to join you at 1900 Park Fare for dinner.
