158.0. "Sign-in 1990 WDW Visitors" by COEM::SCOPA (The Major) Tue Jan 23 1990 19:49

    So I said to myself, "Hey Self? Why not start a note for all the noters
    planning on visiting WDW in 1990?"
    
    It will be interesting to see how many people are planning to go, when
    they are going, where they are staying, for how long, and how long it's
    been since their last trip, unless it's their first trip of course.
    
    Sign in please.

    Who  :  George, Debbie, & Tiffany (10)
    When :  February 11 - 18 (???)
    How  :  Air
    Where:  Offsite: Debbie's Aunts house
    Why  :  Because It's THERE !!!!!!!!!
    Last :  Disneyland 3/89, Disneyworld 5/88
    
       This is a spur of the moment vacation ( aren't they the best) due
      to Deb's aunt being close to Orlando and a friend offering us FREE
      round trip bonus certificates. The trick is going to be getting that
      flight out of Logan on 2/11. As of now I know of a flight in the AM
      that is not totally booked that I hope to get a reservation on. The
      big problen is the certificates only allow you to reserve 24 hrs in
      advance. I'm still very optomistic !!!!!!!!!!!

    Who  :  Leon and Mary Moreau
    When :  October 1990
    How  :  Air
    Where:  Haven't decided yet.
    Why  :  Because we haven't been to Epcot or MGM.
    Last :  1980 with two teenage sons.  
    	
            Haven't decided where to stay.  Last time we were in the
            Contemporary and we loved it.  Hear great things about the
            Floridian.  One of our sons gave us two four day passes for a
            Christmas present.  All package deals include park tickets so I
            guess we would be better off making our own airline and hotel 
            accommodations.  Any suggestions.  We will be going for 8 days.
            Have also thought of the cruise/park combination.

158.43a GANG in JUNEOFFPLS::HODGESSat Feb 24 1990 12:0515
    My MAJOR trip this year will be a family jaunt (at least 11 of us! 
    My husband, daughter and I, my mom, my brother, sister-in-law and their 
    3 kids, my husband's sister and her husband) in June, staying at the 
    MARRIOTT WORLD CENTER (because I have frequent 'sleeper' points to cover 
    most of the cost!) for 6 nights.  We'll be there June 24-30th.  It'll
    be hot, but it's the best time for all concerned.  The rest/swim time
    in the middle of the day is actually a nice break from all the
    'visuals' of WDW.  
    
    I was there just for an evening a couple of weeks ago (business at the
    Space Center!) and we (my daughter and I) may be there next week-end as
    we're going to Tampa for a few days over winter vacation and she wants
    to go to Pleasure Island.

    The rest of the family went on a long weekend trip in Feb, so this is
    her payback.  Of course, Mom gets to go on both (after all, I won the
    tickets).

    honeymooners we will be getting a free upgrade on the rent a car,
    booked into the best room available at all the hotels we will be
    staying at and all sorts of other ammentities for no extra charge.

    This a reply to my origional reply in .27.
    
    Due to circumstances beyond my control, I am heading to WDW
    on July 3-10 instead of Nov 16-25.  What a bummer, eh?  :*)
    We were origionally going to take the train ($850 for 6 people)
    but the airfare for us is only $750 non-stop!  De-regulation is
    great, isn't it?  The problem is is that now the hotels are 
    expensive.  Oh well, they get you one way or another.
    
    The next two weeks will be hectic as we prep for this last minute
    vacation.  I'll post a trip report (weather data included) when
    I get back.
    
    14 days (instead of 149) and counting!

    It's all Nicole's fault, yea, that's the ticket, oops, passport.
    Our plans were to return to Disney in a year or two in the fall
    to avoid crowds.  Nicole went and spoiled it all by asking when
    we're going to go see Mickey again.  It all snowballed from there.

	Who:-  Gerry and Jennifer Mullan (+ .5 of a Mullan)

	This is our first time staying in WDW, previously we have been
	day-trippers but given Jennifer's condition, we figured it would
	be better to stay nearby so that she can pop back to the hotel
	and rest.
	
	Only three more days to go!!!

    Who  :  Don & Elaine Ritchie

    When :  October 3-9, 1990

    How  :  U.S. Air, Worcester to Melbourne

    Where:  Friends in St. Cloud and Cocoa Beach

    Why  :  1. MGM and/or Universal
	    2. Christmas shopping
	    3. Wanted to be away from home for Elaine's 30th birthday

    Last :  We went separately before we were married, '85 and '86.

	We were supposed to go in February 1991, but our friends in St. Cloud
	are expecting their second child then, so they asked us to come sooner!
	I heard a rumor that the Space Shuttle Discovery is scheduled to go
	up Friday, Oct 5.
