80.0. "Making Connections - Getting Together" by INDMKT::GOLDBERG (Len Goldberg) Tue Apr 11 1989 17:48

    This topic is reserved for those who are planning a trip to Walt
    Disney World or Disneyland and would like to connect with other
    DECies who will be there at the same time.
    
    Please post the dates you are going to be there, where you are staying,
    other information such as number and ages of kids, and what you
    might like to do, (eg. meet for dinner, drinks, parade, exchange
    babysitting, etc.)
    
    DO NOT use this conference to set up your meeting, use mail for
    that.  DO let us know what happens though in your trip report in note
    34. 
    
    Also be careful not to post enough personal information here about your
    vacation that someone would want to come burglarize your house while
    you are gone.

80.2Invitation to a Hoop-Dee-Doo Birthday PartyVISUAL::SCOPAI'd rather be in OrlandoFri Sep 13 1991 14:3916
    Okay gang. You're all invited to my WDW/Hoop-Dee-Doo Birthday Party.
    
    Today sometime I'll be booking HDD for Sunday night July, 12th, 1992
    for 5 P.M.
    
    If you're planning to be in WDW on that day and you wanted to do HDD
    and you want to meet your fellow noters then think about booking for
    that time and that day.
    
    My kids wanted to do HDD again but my wife was lukewarm....but I'll
    tell her this could be my birthday gift.
    
    No need to bring gifts but be sure to practice your singing 'cause I
    want a hoop 'n' hollering crowd there.

80.6Invitation to a BashCUPMK::SCOPATue May 18 1993 14:1055
    It's sort of scary to see that this topic has not had an entry since my 
    note back in April '92.
    
    What's also frightening is that there are a lot less of us in here than
    there were one, two, or three years ago.
    
    With the onslaught of some heavy-duty downsizing coming in June and the
    unsureness as to what may happen to any of us I'd like the make the
    following pact with everyone in here.
    
    This pact relates to the big HDD Birthday Bash of 1992. That was so
    much fun that I'd like to pack that entire Pioneer Hall with all the
    Disneyholics in here.  
    
    So here's the deal
    
    
    Regardless of where I am working or living in July 1997 I plan to be in
    Orlando that month (most likely July 6-19) to attend the 25th
    Anniversary splendor that will take place from 10/1/96 to 10/1/97.
    
    Take note that I will also be attending the 5:30 Hoop-Dee-Doo Review Show
    on my 47th birthday, July 12th.
    
    If you are planning a WDW trip that July why not meet me there one hour
    before the show on the porch outside Crockett's Tavern? Some of us may
    still be working for DEC, others may be even working for Disney ;*)
    
    Either way I think we all share the same ideals when it comes to the
    Disney mystique and it would be a shame to let any downsizing effort
    break the bond that we've established over the years.
    
    So if you're planning a July '97 trip, and you'd like to join in some
    fun and maybe even see yer old moderator do his "Indian Brave" routine   
    (ya never know) plan on joining me on Crockett's Tavern Porch around 4:30
    on Saturday night, July 12th, 1997.
    
    It'll be an HDD Birthday Bash to remember. Please no gifts. One
    Brazillian tour shirt is enough.
    
    BTE, I don't know where I'll be staying in 1997. I have to assume that the
    CBR is at the top of the list because my family loves the place. The
    other two possibilities are The Vacation Club and The All-Star Sports
    Resorts. You can be sure that I'll be on the property.
    
    See you in 1515 days.
    
    Those noters who really feel they will try and make it should reply to
    this note.
    
    See ya,
    
            The Birthday Boy
    
    
80.7count me in....TURRIS::PHDVAX::JMCGLINCHEYTue May 18 1993 17:075
    Since I'm not close to you to see you (I'm in PA) at other get
    togethers we are planning 1995 and 1997 trips anyway, you can put
    my reservation in now for a rocking chair on that porch.

80.8Count me in!CUPMK::JETTEWed May 19 1993 13:377
    Mike,
    
    You know I'll be there with the kids - and maybe the grandparents as
    well!  Look for me at the CBR and Wilderness Lodge.

80.9Sign us up too!!MR4DEC::AWILLIAMSIt's a duck blur...Thu May 20 1993 17:2514
    Well, I just read Ken Steinhardt's note about Sunset Boulevard in MGM
    not opening until the Fall of '94 and I'm a little bummed but there's
    one thing keeping me going...
    
    The knowledge that I will experience the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror
    first-hand alongside our intrepid Birthday Boy in the Summer of '97...
    
    That's right, Mike, sign us up for the HDD Birthday Bash of 1997!!
    
    And yes, if Jim Pappas can get you on Splash Mountain, I figure that in
    four years' time I can convince you to ride the Tower of Terror.  :-)

80.10Not a chanceCUPMK::SCOPAThu May 20 1993 19:407
    Yeah, but don't plan on me wearing one of them Brazillian Tour
    Shirts......
    
    ...or wearing that tutu at HDD....Dolly Drew won't let you guys do it
    to me!

Count me in.  Also too remote to attend New England bashes, but have
been able to meet other DECos (I HATE the word DECies) on two previous
trips!  Maybe this September, too... I'll be there Sep. 9-13... anyone
else?

80.12Lets meetWOTVAX::KAYRRobin KayFri Feb 11 1994 07:439
This note is lacking entries of late. However Mike Scopa's change of 
flight to May 21st means his visit coincides exactly with mine. 

Mike, I would love to meet up with you. We are staying at the Comfort 
Inn, Crossroads. I would love to visit the Martinique to see how the 
other half live.

80.13Must be Another MikeWREATH::SCOPAFri Feb 11 1994 13:1415
    Robin,
    
    I'd love to go down and share a Dole Whip but I'm not going May 21st.
    My plans are for July. If everything goes according to plan I will be
    driving down and arriving in Orlando July 9th and staying until July
    25th. The only possible change in my plans I am thinking about right
    now is to knock off 2 days and stay for just 14 days. That decision
    will come in late May/early June.
    
    Hmmm, obviously you want me to use my influence to get you in one of
    those Brazillian Tour Groups.
    
    Now if you change your plans to July.....

    My husband and I are spending 3-4 days there after a cruise.
    We are Brian and Edie Johnson, staying at Port Orleans, arriving
    Wednesday April 13, leaving Saturday April 16.  It would be nice to
    meet up with other Deccies.  Contact me by mail OTOA01::EJOHNSON OR
    DTN 639-4560.
    
80.16MAY30::CULLISONMon Feb 21 1994 16:0914
    You should specify the date you will be there. My family
    will be staying just outside Disney most of the School vacation week.
    Arrive Fri. 15 April, leave Fri. 22 April. We will probably go to
    MGM one day and MK another since we have been there before a number
    of times. Maybe another day possible, we mainly want to relax, swim,
    water ski, jet ski etc. at our resort. Since Easter is at beginning
    of April we are hoping for reasonable crowds. Last year we hit the
    Easter 2 week window and it was not pleasant at all.

80.17No Hoop Dee Doo for the Scopas This YearDONVAN::SCOPAWed Feb 19 1997 19:328
    Just thought I'd mention that my family and I WILL NOT be attending the
    5:30 Hoop Dee Doo show on July 12th this year.
    
    However it would be nice to have a Disney get together down there.
    Maybe between now and July those of us going down can figure out a time
    and place to meet.

    A chance to meet Mike in person?  You bet!
    
80.19Special Group Disney Get Together?DONVAN::SCOPAThu Apr 10 1997 17:3112
    If anyone down there between July 7 and July 22 wants to get together
    and chat over a Dole Whip or whatever, when you get down there just call
    the CBR and leave a message (voicemail) for me (name/room number) and I'll 
    try to contact you. 
    
    Ruth has already promised to buy me dinner at Victoria and Albert's for 
    my birthday so dinner for July 12th is booked....right Ruth? ;^)
    
    If you see someone videotaping Winnie the Pooh and yelling, "Hey
    Winnie! Show me the Honey!"...that'll be me.

    Mike -- doing HDD?  Maybe we can get toghether for one big DIGITAL
    table; I've heard that large parties get priority for floor seating (our
    reservations are for Thurs 10th)

    Sure thing.  Except the Lowells will be at the 5:30 HDD due to
    note 80.6.  The kids don't want to cancel.

80.22Group get together?PCBUOA::RICCIOPA takedown is worth 2 points!Fri Apr 11 1997 16:498
    
    Doing a group get together sounds good to me. Maybe the Wilderness
    Lodge "all you can eat". I can even smell it as I type.
    
    We will be there July 7 - 14.

80.23They Still Talk About It At Ol' Pioneer HallKOOLIT::SCOPAFri Apr 11 1997 17:254
    Now Ruth...if you had been there for the Birthday Bash in '92 you would
    be thinking the same thing as me..."Been there...done that!"
