Hi, Mandy! It will be good if you can join us for some meals and activities, after all. The 12/13 Le Cellier dinner reservation is now full again, but I currently still have space open at everything else. My complete schedule is below, at the end of this post. If you would like me to save you a spot at any of the meals, please let me know which ones. If you would like to join us for the 12/10 Yuletide Fantasy Tour (on your birthday), you would make your tour reservation directly with WDW, and meet us there. I will also try to get an Illuminations cruise reservation for that evening (12/10), but won't know until September if I can get it. The boat seats ten people. For all other activities listed below, there is no limit on how many people can go, but please let me know which ones interest you, so we can look for you there.
This invitation is also open to everyone else.
By the way, I won't be able to check this board again until the end of the weekend, as I'm off to Disneyland for a couple of days. It will be nice to have a Disney experience to tide me over until we all meet in Florida in December.
When I get back, I'll check if Mandy or anyone else is interested in the remaining space in the dining reservations. If we run out of spaces at any meals, the available spaces will go to the people who posted or PM'd first.
Belated Happy Birthday to PennConn!
And I'll be back in a few days!
Daisy

Hi,
I have decided on the dates for my trip, if not the resorts. I will sail on the Disney Wonder from December 2-6, 2007 and will be at WDW from December 6-16, 2007 departing that Sunday the 16th.
Rich, thanks for the PM. See you there!
Collette: I would also like to be considered for 12/10 Planet Hollywood at 7:00 pm and for 12/12 at 50's Prime Time Cafe at 6:30 pm. I was not impressed with Cape May Cafe dinner when I went in 2004.

Jim,
I added you to Planet Hollywood, joining myself, Kat, Rich and Vanessa and 50's Prime Time Cafe with myself, Rich, Glenda, Kat and Vanessa.
There are mixed reviews about the Cape May Clambake, but being a buffet, I'm sure that there will be enough choices. I hear good things about the shrimp and spareribs, both are fine with me. It's more of a convenient and easily accessible place to meet Marsha, who you may have seen earlier posts from. I've been e-mailing her for quite some time and she is in a wheelchair-actually, a new motorized one and this was her suggestion, so I want to meet her where she'll be comfortable. Being from New England, I'm not expecting seafood like I'm used to....

Hi, everyone!
This is an abbreviated version of my MouseFest 2007 MegaBlast itinerary. I went to my travel agent and paid two deposits (one for the cruise, one for the land portion) on a two-week Disney trip, arriving the morning of Sunday, December 2nd, 2007 and departing the evening of Sunday, December 16, 2007.
December 2-6: Arrive MCO by USAir at 10:30 AM. Take Disney Cruise Line bus to Port Canaveral, check in and board the Disney Wonder for the four-night MouseFest Cruise to Nassau and Castaway Cay. Stateroom category 8, #5516, outside stateroom. Second DCL cruise, Castaway Club member.
December 6-10: Arrive at Port Canaveral, get bags and board Disney Cruise Line bus to Walt Disney World. For eleven days in the World I will have a one-day Magic Your Way basic ticket, one park (which I will use December 6 in Magic Kingdom for MVMCP); and a 10-day Hopper for the rest of my trip. Check into All Star Movies standard room on Thursday, December 6 for five nights.
December 11-15: Check out of All Star Movies and check into Animal Kingdom Lodge standard room for five nights.
December 16: Magical Express to MCO at about 4:30 pm. Depart MCO on USAir at 7:30 pm and arrive PHL at 9:57 pm.
I will not know specifics until I receive my confirmation in the snail mail.

I was thinking the same thing Colette (In fact I usually associate Clam Bakes with New England, not Cape May), but no matter what the buffet is actually like, at least we can say that we were there!
I looked at the menu for Cape May Cafe over at www.allearsnet.com - The menu looked pretty good, but there seemed to be more "landlubber" foods than seafood! Oh well, this is a Disney fantasy version of the seashore after all!
I love shrimp too, and I'm on a quest to find the world's best New England Clam Chowder, so I'm looking forward to trying Disney's version (My favorite chowder so far is at Lenny & Joe's Fish Tale, which is a landmark here in Connecticut, located on U.S. Route 1 in Westbrook)
I agree with Colette about "good company" - I feel as if I've known some of the people on this thread for quite some time.

Rich,
I try chowders everywhere I travel-I especially like Seafood chowder and Lobster Bisque because I don't make those at home. I do make a good fish or clam chowder... I had awesome Lobster Bisque at the Yachtsman Steakhouse and an equally awesome Crab and Lobster Bisque at Fulton's. I'm looking forward to trying Crab Cakes at Kona Cafe and they also have a seafood chowder.
There is quite a good selection at Cape May Cafe and as I said before, I don't really eat enough at a buffet to get my money's worth, but it's a less formal way to get together and talk and eat at your own pace, so I'm looking forward to it. I don't remember if they have clam chowder there???

Mandy,
Yes, I'm saving you a spot at the Artist Point dinner on Sunday, 12/9. Welcome!
(I'm having breakfast at Boma on 12/6, but I don't think you're at WDW at that time.)
Brian_WDW74,
I am also saving you a spot at all the meals you requested in your PM. Glad you can join us!
