Who's coming to DL for the Half Marathon Labor Day Weekend - Updated with Meets!

Since we can't have an official meet, the Electric Light Parade idea works for me. Either day would work. Saturday night (don't know if that was an option) probably wouldn't work since the people running in the half will probably want to get to bed at a decent hour.

I would need some advice for this, but I would like to propose that we have a birthday cake meet Sunday night after the parade (if we do it Sunday) to celebrate Nancy's Birthday!! It would be so neat to help her celebrate as a group. :dance3:
 
It looks like we are going to have a meet during the Electric Light Parade Sunday September 6, 2009. This is the evening of the Disneyland Half Marathon. I will be hosting a Birthday Cake Meet immediately following in honor of Nancy Johnson's birthday. We are working on a location. Has anyone ever taken a cake into the parks? We are also checking on that.
If anyone has any suggestions, let me know. I hope this can be a very special and magical :wizard: Dis birthday evening for Nancy.

Thanks Mary Jo!

I made some calls this morning and there are no cakes allowed into the parks (for security reasons, and I suspect janitorial reasons, too). You can get specialty cakes at the hotels and the non-park restaurants, but not in the park as of now.

We do have an option. We can go to the PCH Grill in the Paradise Pier Hotel for an early dinner at 5pm, eat and celebrate with the DL version of the Kitchen Sink!!! Just think - giant ice cream sundaes with literally everything. I've never had one. Then we can all meet at the Electric Light Parade.

Is that a decent option?
 

:) I might be mistaken, but I believe they've stopped serving dinner at PCH Grill. Just a heads up just in case.
 
Hey Chrysty.

I spoke with a Cast Member in Dining Reservations yesterday and they are open as usual.

On a side note, with Yamabuki closed, they have to have a dinner option in the hotel to keep their rating levels. You can't be a x-star hotel without a restaurant serving x-amount of meals. One we get an idea of how manay people want to go, then we can make reservations.
 
I LOVE the Kitchen Sink. How can we work that to include all the DISers there for the parade?
 
Well, we can certainly invite everyone to have the kitchen sink with dinner and then all move over to the park for the parade. Even if folks don't have park tickets for that day, they could be a part of the fun by coming to dinner!

I figure a 5pm reservation will get us out into the park by parade time!

Ah! Gotcha, thanks for clarifying! It must've been before Yamabuki closed that I heard that then.
 
OK folks, I just looked at the posted schedule and it DOES NOT have the Electric Light Parade the whole weekend we are there (Friday, Saturday OR Sunday). What is up with that?!!? Do you think that is accurate?

I was really looking forward to it (my favorite parade) and thought it was a great place to meet.

Gosh, I hope they are having it! I will be so disappointed if not. Is is possible they haven't decided whether they are going to be doing it that weekend?
 
Hey Nancy,
Can you remove me form the main page? My Labor day weekend trip lost out to the next weekend so I am now doing D23.
Hope to see you soon.

Don- I'll edit when I get home.

I guess we should make alternate plans for evening meet then. How about fireworks after dinner. Or Fantasmic?

How many will join us at the PCH Grill for my birthday dinner at 5 pm on Sunday?
 
Hi Nancy, you'll have to remove us from the first page too. :sad: We won't be able to make it out to California over Labor Day.

Hey Don,

Have you seen any threads about what DISers will be at D23 Expo?? Any unofficial meets? I'm thinking of coming down for it.
 
I still haven't decided which days I'll be attending the d23 Expo, but I'd be up for a meet!

Okay - since there are several folks running and leaving on Sunday, we could have an early quick meet by the Lost Bar on Saturday. Is anyone up for that?

I might be up for an early meet. I am running the half the next morning. I have to get myself to bed early so I can get myself up in time!:eek:
