Hopefully "the organizer" will make an appearance soon. I just wanted to open up a thread to those who may not meet the criteria on the other December thread. She's got a Google calendar going.

Sounds good to me. Is there really an organizer??

 

[snykymom]

I'm in! Dec. 12-18!

Sort of. She started the Google calendar on another thread, but the author of that thread prefers it be singles only. That's why I started this one for anyone (singles, solos, groups, whatever) who'll be at WDW in December. It'd be fabulous to meet the love of my life at WDW in December, but it's also lots of fun to grab a ride, a meal or a drink with other ::coughcrazycough:: DISers.

Hi everyone! Thanks Jess for starting this new thread!

Ok, so I have an idea as to how to handle this thread so that the meet information doesn't get buried. I am going to link to the Google Calendar in this post, and I will also list by days who will be at the World. Also in this same post I will update various meet days/locations as they get organized. So even if any chatter or additional posts with travel dates ensue on any following pages, this will be the post to check back on for any updated meet info/calendar additions. Cool? I hope I am not outclevering myself. And here... we... go:

great now you're talking... Love to meet and hang out with friends... have met singles,couples,families from ages 3 months old to hmmm retiree... I dont discrimanate...

Looking between 13 to 20th of Dec. still ot sure where to stay depends on the other travelling buddies...

 

[rebecca06261]

I can't believe it's already time to plan Christmas meets

I like your dates, Duck!

Christmas in July you know.

 

[kdunkle904]

What exactly is this meet and how do they work? Who goes?

 

[OregonGirl]

DFD, you are going to miss Wasre and I by TWO STINKIN' DAYS if you do the 13th to the 20th...

How about the 10th to the 17th?

kdunkle - anyone can go, and usually the meet is just a casual get together that can include an ADR somewhere, a park meet to ride certain rides, or a more formal meet that involves a dessert party or cruise, for example. I've never actually done one at WDW myself, but I am familiar with the concept. I have sort of taken the reins on organizing various meets (not all of which I will be in Florida to attend) during the month of December, mostly because I have already created a Google calendar which stemmed from a bunch of single, solo, and/or adult travelers that are all going around the same time. Of course, anyone can suggest the specifics of a meet, and I'd be happy to add it to the post above --^-- that I am working on, which will hopefully include the names of each disboard member going to WDW on each day in December, and then also whatever meets are scheduled during those days as well.

Folks can modify this next statement, but in my opinion the best way to do this is to keep it casual and, for the most part, not require any sort of RSVP to these meets. True, ADRs or dessert parties will require a commitment ahead of time - but in general I am thinking of things like "Monday, December 6th, 11:30AM meet at Kilimanjaro Safari for a group ride", or "Wednesday, December 3rd, 12:30 PM casual gathering for lunch at T-REX", or "Friday, December 10th, 8:00 PM Atlantic Dance Hall - look for folks wearing the lime green Mickey ears!", etc...

One more thing: If there are enough of us that all want to meet on a certain date and can commit to it ahead of time, I can probably organize a "Grand Gathering" with Disney for something like the MK dessert party during MVMCP, or an ADR at a dining experience, or a fireworks cruise, or something similar.

 

[snykymom]

Sorry, OregonGirl, but the link to the Google calendar doesn't work.

And for taking on this responsibility!!

 

[OregonGirl]

Oops. Guess DISboards didn't like my *******. I really did out-clever myself. Anyway it's fixed. Thanks!

(( ok, I would like to point out that I am NOT swearing up above. I am trying to write t i n y u r l and apparently that's a taboo word ))

I'd also like to mention to ANYONE reading/lurking/posting/visiting/living in Florida during December 2010, please speak up with some suggested meets - I don't want to have to think them all up on my own, especially since I might not attend them all.

 

[DFD]

I can't believe it's already time to plan Christmas meets

I like your dates, Duck!

Thank You Reb!!! I am counting on you being around then ??!!!

Christmas in July you know.

yeah... and I am working on July 25th boohooo!!!

DFD, you are going to miss Wasre and I by TWO STINKIN' DAYS if you do the 13th to the 20th...

How about the 10th to the 17th?

Sorry OG... I promise Godson we're doing Hershey on those weekends... breakfast with Santa Hershey and Mrs. Kisses... lazer show and lots of Hot Chocolate followed by a shopping spree at the TDS Outlet!!! cant break tadition with a 6 years old

 

[santadog]

We'll be there December 1-8 with DS5 (among the rest of our crew). Where are you staying?

We'll be at All-Star Music - not my first choice, but the only one I could get on those dates with the free dining.

What day(s) are people planning on going to the MVMCP? That would be an ideal meet, IMHO

 

[Chaoticsweetness]

I will be there 5th-11th, staying WL-CL

 

[DFD]

We will be there from the 3rd-17th. Would love to attend a meet... Who organizes these?

I'm in! Dec. 12-18!

well other than Reb and Disnutt who are locals... you two are almos the same time frame as me
