Nov-Dec ADRs and meeting up with other PPers

I'm excited to be planning another solo trip for November 26-Dec 12. I know a lot of my favorite PPers will be there at that time and would love to share a meal or two. Anyone got plans yet? Pre-plans? Nothing like inviting myself to breakfast, lunch or dinner, but I'd love to figure it all out before I make my own ADRs and then have to change them. Looking forward to hearing from you here or via PM!

I'd definitely love to get together. The only reason I've held off so far is that I'm hoping to move some of our reservations at the seven month mark, which is in about a week's time. If I can do that, then I'll be able to plan better for meals. You were definitely on my list to at least grab a meal together with though.

Any ideas of places you'd like to eat? We tend to do just sit down meals, as we like the break that gives us. I'd also love to spend some time with you at Animal Kingdom, as I always love reading about the times you spend there. I think we'd appreciate Rafiki's Planet Watch much more if we went with you!

From reading your reports over the years, I'm pretty sure any place you'd choose for a meal would be fine with me! Breakfast is pretty much out for me, as I get to AK so early, but I'd be up for an in-park lunch or dinner in-park or resort. I'll be at BWV Nov 26-Dec 9, then at BLT (IF I can get a ressie at 7 mos!) Dec 10 & 11. I'd love to see you at Rafiki's-- any morning between 9:30 and noon. Once I get on-site I can sometimes get a list of what animals are expected at the window and could let you know if there's anything special planned. I'll watch anything, but it's more exciting when it's a tiger or gorilla! Let me know when you get things firmed up!

WOW!! This is huge news! I know this idea has been percolating for a while.... I guess your roomies moving out for a break gave you the push? I'm excited to be able to see you-- didn't think it would happen this trip. Wheeee!

That sounds absolutely perfect. Once we get park hours, then we'll know a lot more., but I'm definitely up for a morning at Rafiki and then maybe a nice lunch - perhaps Yak and Yeti or Tusker House?

Either of those would be fine! I usually stay until the surgery finishes for the day and that time is hard to predict. Usually around noon, though. It'll be fun to have company at Rafiki's.

Hi Laurie, we'll be there from 12/1 - 12/9 so sadly we will just Miss Wendy's get together but I'll keep an eye out to see if anything else is planned. I also love reading your trip reports about Rafiki's and plan to spend more time with DD there this coming trip if possible.

Stacey, definitely say hello if you see me at Rafiki's-- I'll be there every morning from 9:30- around 12:30 or 1pm. I'd love to meet you and your sweet little Mary. We're neighbors, after all!

Hi, Sheri! I hope to see you at Wendy's Bling Bash on Friday, Nov 30. I have a couple of other meets planned for later in my trip and a couple of things still in the planning stages. Maybe we can do something over the weekend. My plans are very flexible, except for my Rafiki mornings!
