We'll be in Florida starting Jan 27th...

[Doris]

We'll be in the Orlando area Jan 27 for a week..anyone want to redo the gathering at Cape May Restaurant for the buffet at the Beach Club resort? Some may consider this pricey (see menu at end of message)but we've always thought the food and fun was worth it. Hopefully we can get together with some of you, even if we don't do the dinner.

If anyone is looking for a great Disney bargain, right now, you pay for 4 nights and get three free, as well as tickets to the parks.

We'll be moving to the Tampa area on the 3rd for a week.

Doris is that the buffet we went to before, it was great, and would be interested. Where do you get info on the nights free deal?

[Doris]

It is the same buffet.

Disney.com or your travel agent is running the special now. Buy 4 nights, get three free (tics included, although we went with just one days tics, since we have so many leftovers). You also get a $200 gift card, which we'll use for food. If you stay at one of the values, it's $532 for a week (with the one day tic, more for the 7 day tic)for two people, plus we'll get the $200 gift card.

So far I have heard from Vetman and Marty and their brides for getting together at Cape May Disney for the wonderful buffet. We haven't picked a day yet..anyone have a day in particulr they would like to meet? Anyone else want to either join us, or come up with another place for us to meet you? We'll be in that area the 27 - 3rd, but not available on the 27th or the 3rd, as we already have plans. We'll be in the Tampa area the 3rd - 9th and back to Disney the night of the 9th leaving on the 10th.
How about the rest of you lucky people missing this bitter cold weather and snow in the forcast?
Now that rental car prices have come wayyy down, we'll have a rental and can meet people. We do hope to get up to see Al, Marty's and Mikes new digs..email me if you have a day in mind.

Hi Doris, Nancy and I spent the afternoon here in Brooksville ER. She has such leg pain was unable to walk. They did ultra sound looking for blood clot. It turns out she has a pinched Siatica nerve. She has to use a walker to get around MH. She will try to get into Orthrpedic Dr next week. She is takening Vicadin for pain. We will have to see how she does for a get together. When plans are made we will she if she can make it.

[Doris]

Ouch..sorry to hear it. It's a couple weeks away, I sure hope she feels better before then
Tell her I said to get a bell and ring it when she needs anything. Good thing she's down in warm Florida..and not up here where once again it's going to get messy.
If we don't see you the first week, maybe you can join us with Dotti and Gene near Bradenton one evening.
