Hadda put my 2 cents in too :)
Okay we will get together outside somewhere...We will have no vehicle so would DtD work? There is a coffee shop at the Anaheim Visitor's Center and motel near DL somewhere, where we met with my parents and sis and bro-in-law last trip. Maybe that coffeshop. Do you know of the one I speak? It has a motel across the parking lot and it says it is the Anaheim Visitor's Center? It is just a few blocks from DL. We walked back to DL from there. I am not sure what street that is on. Maybe we could get lunch there and CHURCHY, OH CHUUUUUURRRCHY!!!!!! you could meet us there too! Otherwise we could meet at the Lost Bar (hic) at the DL Hotel or at the Grand Californian in front of the big fireplace for cocoa and good banter :D: : we could get the coffee and cocoa at a place in DtD and go sit in front of the fireplace, OR we could meet outside the DL Hotel and we could take you up the *special*

concierge elevator up to the concierge lounge for some snacks and hot beverages! We know all the CMs up there and that would be fun. Have you been up there in that lounge? It is comfy up there. Not too fancy and frou-frou, just a nice comfortable place to rest your feet and get some goodies! They always have gingerbread men up there and other gooey sweets. I know you love G-Men, Purpura! They will let us bring guests! That would be cool!! Actually THAT would be a great place to go! Free food and beverages and a warm and cozy p[lace to chat!
Whatever works! We just can't get too far on feet with my back. We could get a cab if you know of a good place to meet.

I sowwy :( ...I wish all of the WDW CMs could come too. That would be fun! I hope someday that we can get a SGT meet together with all or most of us here coming to WDW at the same time. THAT would be fun. So the more of us who retire to Florida will make it easier. right? That is my greatest wish, that we could have an SGT meet at WDW That would be SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... much fun! Can you imagine all of us taking over a Resort and the Parks and the mini golf courses and the buffets! :twisted:

:D: A good time would be had by all, and I mean all...Everyone in the whole of WDW Resort would be highly amused at our group of folks... ;)

You were just there....so don't pout or Santa will bring you coal. ;) I would smuggle you in my suitcase,but my suitcase already weighs over 50 pounds every time we travel and Ralph always has to pay extra for heavy luggage!

I am not kidding. I pack everything AND the kitchen sink! Ralph has one little suitcase and I have my big giant Dumbo size suitcase and a carry on and sometimes another smaller suitcase, plus my big *purse???* which is really a satchel. When we went to WDW last time, I had 4 checked suitcases and a carry on AND my backpack which was my *purse*!

But we were in Florida for a month, we spent 3 weeks at WDW and a week at my Uncles up north in Inverness. I needed lots of clothes! And I could NOT make up my mind what I wanted to wear so I packed it all!!!! :hysteria:
Inverness!!! Now that is a nice area! Up near Crystal River, which is one of my favorite places on earth. This is all up in the northern part of the state, sorta near Ocala, which I love. The horse country up there is some of the finest in the U.S., it rivals Virginia and Kentucky for beautiful horse stables and meadows! The water in the river is so clear and you can Manatee watch there. I am hoping this next trip in Spring we can go up and see the manatees, if they have not already migrated out to warmer water. We swam with the Dolphins at Discovery Cove last trip. THAT was one of the most incredible experiences I have ever had. This next trip to WDW we will do the EPCOT Dolphins in Depth tour, where you get to basically get in the water with them and kiss there noses and pet them. I love bottlenosed dolphins. Such beautiful and sensitive creatures. As usual off topic again.........
This trip I am limiting myself to one big suitcase and a carry on and my *satchel*. Of course the suitcase will end up weighing more than 50 lbs, so maybe I should just take 2 smaller ones right? I need shorts, jeans, tee shirts, tank tops, tennies, sandals, a pair of nice shoes, under garments, one nice outfit for Christmas dinner at Steakhouse 55, a light jacket or sweater or should I just buy one there????? and all my toiletries, jewelry, magazines and a writing tablet and...and...and...
Oh I am so confused!!!!!!!!!

I need help packing. Any of the women here have a good formula for packing for a week long trip? Men just don't pack the same way!!!!
Oh, and I want to try to smuggle my cat in this year too. ;) Actually they are all going to the Alameda East Pet Hotel, where they will have the best holiday they can without us. That place is nicer than some human hotels!!!!
I wish we could smuggle EVERYONE here in our luggage with us to DL for Christmas. That would be a fun time!
Okay, off to go through my closet to start collecting ALL the clothes and things I will *need*(?) for this trip...heeheehee. I am going to try to keep it simple this trip, since I always seem to buy more shirts and clothes while we are there. We do have some special personalized shirts we had made for the trip. :D: Gotta bring those, maybe even wear them on the plane into the DL Hotel for check-in! Gad, I'm excited! I want to go NOW!!!!!!!!!! :D:
