20081211 8:00am MouseFest DIS Breakfast at Boatwrights, POR

[WillCAD]

In another thread we had some discussion of trying for a meet of those DISers heading down to MouseFest.

Thursday, Dec 11, is the official MK day, but the official MouseFest meets don't really start until after noon, so I thought it would be a good time to have a DIS meet.

If you're going to be in the MK area on Dec 11, whether you're planning to attend MouseFest or not, why not get together and have a nice breakfast, either in the park or in one of the nearby resorts?

Let me know your preference for restaurant, and for time of the morning, and when we get a group signed up I'll call for an ADR. It will be sometime between 8am and 11am.

My personal preference is for Kona Cafe, but majority rules - we'll try whichever restaurant that the majority of the group wants.

We're already past the 180-day mark for the ADR, so we may not be able to get exactly the time we want, but when I make the ADR I will get the closest that I can.

UPDATE: Kona Cafe is completely booked for Dec 11-13. Our second choice, The Wave at the Contemporary, doesn't take large groups. My backup-backup is thus Boarwright's, in Port Orleans Riverside. I know it's out of the MK area, but the MK area restaurants book up fast, and Boatwright's does not. But Boatwright's is a terrific place, so I know we'll all have a great breakfast. And Boatwright's has Banana Stuffed French Toast, just like Kona's famous Tonga Toast!

If transportation is an issue, let me know - I will attempt to set up carpooling, and maybe we can get some courtesy vans from the resort to pick some of us up in the morning (no guarantees, but I was able to do this once at Kona). If you will need transportation, let me know where you will be staying and we'll work something out.

[Donald is #1]

I'm in. I don't have a restaurant preference.

 

[nurse.darcy]

I'll add my name to the list as well. . .I don't have my dates hammered out but the latest I would be arriving is the 10th in the morning so I'll be there for the 11th. . .

 

[Barb]

My son and I might be able to do this! Put us down, just in case our schedule works out. We love Kona for breakfast, so that gets my vote too!

 

[mla1977]

I'm in. I'm trying to make the trip into me and my goddaughter. I currently have ressies at CP for 8:10 on that day.

 

[WillCAD]

Great! I've added all of you to the list.

 

[NancyIL]

I will already be at WDW, and plan to take part in the MouseFest Land events. Put me down for 2 people, please!

*Kona Cafe is fine with me, and hopefully it won't be TOO early.

 

[newholidayx2]

Im already in the count - thanks Nancy

Kona is a good breakfast restaurant Right on the monorail, good food, a reason for me to get over to the Poly, and quieter/less chaotic than character meals

 

[poohbear2]

Please add me in. I think KONA would be perfect.

YUMMY YUMMY macademia nut pancakes.

 

[goofy4tink]

Ahhh, would have loved to join you guys, but I'll be getting off the Wonder that morning and on route to WDW around 8:30ish....no time for breakfast with you all. But, I'm sure I'll be seeing you at some other meets. Have fun!!!

 

[Brian_WDW74]

Pencil me in for breakfast. Kona sounds like a good place to meet.

 

[meyernl]

My daughter and I would love to come. Someone will need to tell me how to get from POP to Kona (wherever that is - never been there). Thanks!

 

[Dan Murphy]

I am hoping to be there then, Will, put me down. Kona is fine.

 

[newholidayx2]

Nikki - Kona is at the Poly
you could take the bus from Pop to the Magic Kingdom then monorail to Poly
I believe Ive done this early, before the MK opened

 

[KristaTX]

Sounds fun . I don't arrive until noon-ish that day, but I look forward to seeing everyone for a few days again this year for Mousefest, etc. .

Sounds easy enough. Thanks!

 

[WillCAD]

Well, so far everybody who has voiced a preference has voted for Kona Cafe, so unless we get flooded with new signups by the deadline, I guess we'll be eating at Kona.

I've got some LGMHs already, I just need to figure out how best to attach them to my park gear.

You've got some WHAT?!??!?!

**Never mind...lime green Mickey heads?

**Never mind...lime green Mickey heads?

Yup, LGMH = Lime Green Mickey Heads.

I have a Home Depot nearby that I pass every day on the way home from work, so I can easily pick up a bunch every so often.

 

[yensid_71973]

I'd like to attend. I don't have a restaurant reference. I will probably not be able to attend unless it's 9:00 pm or later because I'll be taking Disney transportation and coming from Pop Century. So it will be bus and monerail if it's at Kona. Jackie
