The dates for DisneyCon are Thursday, October 6 - Sunday October 9th. I figure not everyone will be going for all 4 days, but here's the ideas I've got planned. Things can be up for discussion, but I pretty much think this can be the most fun.
| Thursday Oct. 6 |
| This is the day when some people start trickling in to the hotel, so nothing too huge planned here. |
| * Spend time by the hotel pool mingling. |
| * Wander through the hotel shopping plazas and check out the other half of the Port Orleans. |
| . |
| * Dinner - 8**pm - Ponderosa Steakhouse (5771 W Irlo Bronson Meml Hwy Kissimmee, FL 34746) |
| - This place is right across from Old Town and is a buffet restaurant. Very good food and real good prices. |
| - Adults: $9.99 for just the buffet or $10.99 for the buffet plus your choice of 1 of the following: A) Sirloin Steak B) Grilled Chicken OR C) Fish and Chips. Both of these prices include the meal, a drink, tax, and gratuity. |
| - Children (6 - 10 yrs old): $7.99 for just the buffet or $8.99 for the buffet plus one of the above mentioned entrees. |
| - Children 5 and under get a free buffet. All you pay for is their drink. |
| . |
| * After Dinner - Old Town ! http://www.old-town.com/ - Right across the street from Ponderosa! If you have never been to Old Town, then you are in for a treat! There are 75 Specialty shops, 8 restaurants, 18 thrilling rides, and TONS of cool stuff to look around at! |

| Saturday Oct. 8 |
| Park Day #2 |
| Magic Kingdom! |
| http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/wdw/parks/parkLanding?id=MKLandingPage |
| How could we possibly go to Disney World and not go to the Magic Kingdom!? It's THE best park (in my opinion) with the most rides, and all of the classical fun that everyone looks for as they try to remain a child forever. We can all run around trying to meet the characters, ride the fun roller coasters, sit through "It's a Small World" and be kids for a day as we celebrate DisneyCon! I figure most of us will spend a good chunk of the day here since this is the park with the most to see. |
| . |
| Evening Fun |
| Downtown Disney (http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/wdw/moreMagic/moreMagicLanding?id=DTDLandingPage ) and Pleasure Island (http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/wdw/entertainment/entertainmentDetail?id=PleasureIslandEntertainmentPage ). |
| This will be a great place to let loose as we celebrate the last night of DisneyCon in style! Get your dancing shoes on and get ready to party your butt off as we continue round 2 of the GS vs DR Drinking Duel!!!! |
| . |
| If you purchase a park hopper pass from the group website, you are given complimentary access to Pleasure Island so don't fret about the extra cost! It's FREE!!!! For those of you who will be bringing kids along, Disney does offer child care services, and you can email me for info on how to get the kiddies tucked away safely while you go party your butt off! |
| Sunday Oct. 9 |
| Pooh We leave today :-( |
| I figure we can find somewhere to have a Goodbye brunch. I haven't found details at this yet, but if we like the Ponderosa idea for breakfast buffet, I can get prices for it. Or for those of you who are locals around Orlando, if you know of some great places to go for Breakfast, please let me know! |
This itinerary is subject to change and please don't feel that you are obligated to do all of these things with us. I tried to plan events outside of the parks for those who will not be joining us at them. Plus I feel it's a good balance of parks and extra fun. If anyone has suggestions for improvement to the itinerary, let me know!
Luv you guys and is it October yet?!?!?!?!
