WISH team WDW Marathon weekend meets

[RedSonya]

The WISH Race Team meets sound great! DH and I won't land until about 4:30 on Friday so we probably won't be able to make it to POR. We are staying at OKW however so maybe we'd take a stroll over there to see if anyone was still hang out a little late. I'm at definite for the breakfast on Monday Morning and the Illumination dessert sounds like my kind of fare, depending on what night.

The dessert party would be awesome! Chad & I had one after our wedding reception in 1999. Personally, I could care less about IllumiNations (and I know I am in the minority), but to see it from one of the terraces is very, very cool! I would do it again in a heartbeat.

As for the other meets, I didn't respond to those. I'll wait and see what the final decisions are and try my hardest to make it to at least one gathering. We have my in-laws coming along with us, and now possibly my parents & nieces. So, scheduling could get sticky for me. Oh, and I forgot really good friends are coming too. Why, oh why can't we ever go to Disney without dragging a gazillion people with us?

I'm in for at least the Friday dinner and Monday breakfast. If the Sunday Illuminations meet comes to pass, I might be interested in that as well.

Chimera (Mel) was kind enough to email me the Illuminations Dessert party information. I put together one for a group of interested DISers a few years ago and it was really nice.

The biggest problem I foresee is finding a night when enough of us are available to make it worthwhile. You need to have a minimum of 20 people to book it and the cost would be a minimum of $35/person (this includes tax, gratuity, and venue fee) up to $60/person - this would just depend on the menu we selected. (FYI - more than 20 people would bring the cost down a bit as the venue cost is fixed and divided by the number of attendees)

The event includes a private viewing area (really nice and of course a great view) with servers for the food and drinks for an hour. We had a great time and all of those who attended seemed to enjoy it as well but it is fairly pricey for just an hour.

So, since several people have expressed interest I will post a poll to see who is actually interested once they know the prices etc. and what night/s are best for those who are interested in attending.

I forgot to add in my previous post that dh and I would be up for the Boardwalk meet on Monday and possibly dinner on Saturday or Sunday depending on what is planned. We most likely won't make the meet on Friday because my sister is getting married early that day (she is leaving on a DCL cruise for their honeymoon the next day). Therefore I don't think we'll be able to make it into Orlando in time to get to the Friday meet. I really wish we could be there but we'll just have to hear all about it later
