DLH Goofy's Kitchen Dinner Meet moved to Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen at DTD !

[dlrp_bopazot]

Hey

We finally decided that Goofy's Kitchen wouldn't be a great place to eat after 14 Hours flight from Paris with a Layover in London .

So we switched to Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen at Downtown Disney District and the time remain the same 19h45pm .

This place is closer to Disneyland Park and even better for our Euros oups US Dollars .

Thanks to all of you and apologies for the last minute change .

This is on May 1st

[Disneyphile]

Ken and I will be there. :)

[innerSpaceman]

I can't resist Soup Kitchen, er, Jazz Kitchen. What time? (Don't expect this Yank to convert that military time above)

[CoasterMatt]

Ism, that would be 7:45 pm - this might make things difficult for seeing 'splody time, but it's still Jazz Kitchen.

[Snowflake]

Have some bread pudding for me!

[Prudence]

We might come for dessert.

[Not Afraid]

Yum! Thiis will be a better place for us, I suspect.

[dlrp_bopazot]

Yum! Thiis will be a better place for us, I suspect.

Yeah and this is a place suggested by Coastermatt so it should a great place to eat .

[lashbear]

I like it.. Soup is calling us !! :D

[wolfy999]

Count me in!

[Kevy Baby]

For some reason, I am not up for a group thing at Jazz Kitchen at the moment...

[innerSpaceman]

I'm not at all sure the Jazz Kitchen is up for US at the moment either.


That said, I likely won't be able to make it to Anaheim in time for dinner anywhere, but I'd love to drop by for dessert and schmoozing as soon as rush hour traffic will allow.

[wolfy999]

For some reason, I am not up for a group thing at Jazz Kitchen at the moment...

Understood, but would still love to see you guys!

[Prudence]

I'm no longer up for a group meal either. Will there be a different opportunity to say Bonjour to France and Farewell to Austrailia?

[Not Afraid]

I'm no longer up for a group meal either. Will there be a different opportunity to say Bonjour to France and Farewell to Austrailia?

The AshTrayans leave the next day, so no on them. I'm not sure was Louis' schedule is like.

While I'm not in the mood for another fiasco, I feel it is important to attend. This won't be the last group meal we ever have so we may as well get over ourselves and our issues sooner rather than later.

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

Though I will be dining privately for my birthday, I suggest meeting at the usual spot on Main street for fireworks at 9pm. I don't know if I will be social but it would be a good opportunity for everyone to gather, watch some (edited) magic in the sky and appreciate that we got to breath alittle that day. Plus it won't cost anything.

I hope to see you there.

[Kevy Baby]

Oddly, I would suggest that a group dinner would be a good idea. I think (hope) everyone learned something and I doubt that would happen again any time soon.

[Not Afraid]

I just posted some suggestions for next time on the snafu thread - per my conversation with Alan the JK manager.

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

or not.

[innerSpaceman]

Sorry B, but if there's a dinner, there's no in-Park fireworks. It's just not gonna happen. Or at least, can't be planned for.

The few times it has, it's meant running at full speed thru DTD. Big Pain. Literally and figuratively.


We wanted to watch fireworks in the Park this past weekend. Made Soup Kitchen ressies one hour earlier than the big group, were seated on time. Big Group arrived. Fun ensued. Fireworks from the Park well planned for ... never happened. (But fireworks from the Jazz Kitchen balcony were among the funnest ever!)

[CoasterMatt]

There was even an audience for the balcony fun.

It just needed some bacon.

[Alex]

Oddly, I would suggest that a group dinner would be a good idea. I think (hope) everyone learned something and I doubt that would happen again any time soon.

And just in case you should leave earlier than everybody else.

[innerSpaceman]

oh, i won't even begin to pay my check until Kevy leaves the building.

Where is "the usual spot on Main Street for fireworks at 9pm"? I will be working that evening, so it's uncertain whether I'll make it there in time for either dinner at Jazz Kitchen or fireworks. But just in case, where is the fireworks meeting spot? Thanks!

[wolfy999]

I'm guessing it's on Main Street by Coke's Corner, not sure, but I've met LoT people there in the past for fireworks.

[innerSpaceman]

However, the usual spot for fireworks when the LoT is having dinner at the Jazz Kitchen starting any time after 5 pm .... is on the 2nd floor Jazz Kitchen balcony.

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

So, I tried to help by suggesting meeting for fireworks as a way to regroup everyone after the drama of the other treads only to be punched in the face.

No need to meet for fireworks. No worries.

[innerSpaceman]

Mark, get a grip.

It's been my unfortunate experience that it's nearly impossible to make it into the Park for fireworks after a big group dinner in Downtown Disney.

We've done this time and time again. Sometimes we can make it by running at full speed. Most times we've barely been done with the meal when we hear the "booms" outside.

No one is trying to rain on your idea. Experience proves it to be unworkable. It's a great idea. I'd personally love it if fireworks and a group dinner could be accomplished with more regularity. I just wanted to caution that it rarely turns out that way.

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

"Getting a grip" implys that I spoke out of line, which if you would read the thread, you would have understood what I said. I made the suggestion only when others were not willing to go to dinner. When others asked about the fireworks you replyed...

Thanks.

[innerSpaceman]

No, getting a grip means "don't over-react." When something can have several meanings, you make an ass of you and me when you "assume."

Anyway, I know you're going through a rough patch, but please don't jumpt to the wrong conclusions. The reason I posed for fireworks not being probable had everything to do with commonly-experienced Resort time management, and nothing to do with thinking your idea unworthy.


AS I EXPLAINED.



(Cue Cadaverous Pallor for me getting on the case of the depressed friend.)

[dlrp_bopazot]

Alright almost 24hours before to leave my home country Freance lol anyway i just setup my TomTom as it seem that i would pefectly work on your roads .

i ll post right before to leave here to make sure flights aren't cancelled .

[Disneyphile]

Have reservations been made for dinner yet?

[Not Afraid]

I will be dragging the LashPair from the JK to see Fireworks.

[€uroMeinke]

I will be dragging the LashPair from the JK to see Fireworks.


And I will stay to settle our bill

[dlrp_bopazot]

And I will stay to settle our bill

ill bring some Euros to give them away lol

[wolfy999]

I will be dragging the LashPair from the JK to see Fireworks.

You mean to say they haven't seen them yet...or you want to make sure they see them once more before they head home?

[wolfy999]

Have reservations been made for dinner yet?

7:45PM on Friday May 1st, not sure how many people are coming....hope Louis gave them a good idea for the group.

[innerSpaceman]

7:45? So Lisa's dragging the Lashpair out of there right after appetizers? :p

[LSPoorEeyorick]

(Cue Cadaverous Pallor for me getting on the case of the depressed friend.)

No, it's me. WTF are you doing? Can you not have phrased that a little more nicely?

[Betty]

Can you not have phrased that a little more nicely?

Are you sure he knows how to do that? ;) :rolleyes: :p

[Not Afraid]

You mean to say they haven't seen them yet...or you want to make sure they see them once more before they head home?

No, they haven't seen them yet.

They were canceled one night, another night we were at the JK (and we saw them from the balcony). This is really their only opportunity.

[innerSpaceman]

Are you sure he knows how to do that?

I thought I did it pretty well, in fact. I coddled him as much as I'm capable of.

On the subject of dinner, a 7:45 start means that Isaac and I can make it in time. We are happy and sad to say farewell to the Lashes, and simply plain happy to welcome dlrp bobazot.




On the subject of Mark's suggestion ... please let me know exactly where I was unkind.

Sorry B, but if there's a dinner, there's no in-Park fireworks. It's just not gonna happen. Or at least, can't be planned for.

Was that too cruel? I thought it was an obvious lightheartedness, tinged with truth and humor. Wrong??

Apparently Mark misinterpreted, because he responded:
So, I tried to help by suggesting meeting for fireworks as a way to regroup everyone after the drama of the other treads only to be punched in the face.

Whereupon I advised him to get a grip. I don't think that was unwarranted or cruel under the circumstances, but when he went on to misinterpret the meaning of 'get a grip,' I replied:
No, getting a grip means "don't over-react." When something can have several meanings, you make an ass of you and me when you "assume."

Anyway, I know you're going through a rough patch, but please don't jumpt to the wrong conclusions. The reason I posed for fireworks not being probable had everything to do with commonly-experienced Resort time management, and nothing to do with thinking your idea unworthy.


I honestly believe I was being very considerate, and no I don't think I could have or should have phrased things differently. I'm not the most beat around the bush guy, but I extended Mark every courtesy I felt appropriate under his circumstances.

But there's only so far I will coddle.

[alphabassettgrrl]

I think the "get a grip" was a bit more than required.

[Disneyphile]

I think the "get a grip" was a bit more than required. Agreed.

iSm, how would you have felt if someone told you to "get a grip" after you barfed/choked/went hysterical on the evening of the Yosemite hiking fiasco? If that wasn't over-reaction, then why weren't the other four just as dramatic, even though they all experienced the exact same traumatic scenario?

Yet, no one would have said that to you, because you were noticeably upset. Maybe you actually deserve the same level of "coddling" as you're willing to extend to others.

[Ghoulish Delight]

Ahem.


Borneo overreacted to iSm's innocuous posts. iSm overreacted to Borneo's overreaction to iSm's innocuous posts. Other people overreacted to iSm's overreaction to Borneo's overreaction to iSm's innocuous posts. Everybody involved feels completely justified in their overreaction because someone else in the equation overreacted beforehand, here, in another thread, at another elevation, whatever.

Could we all just git a grip, please? Just stop talking about it, and it's no longer a problem.

[Morrigoon]

VGDM

[innerSpaceman]

[posted simultaneously with GD's rather lucid explaination]

Really, telling me I was punching him in the face doesn't deserve a "get a grip."

ooookkaaay.



And I won't deny an over-reaction at the cabin ... but the other four did not react in any such way because they did not believe themselves to be the CAUSE of the traumatic situation, whereas I did.

In any event, when Bill was sweet enough to comfort me when I ran from the room crying at the reminder of a traumatic moment of horrible guilt, he could well have told me to get a grip - and I would have understood that to mean I was over-reacting. I wouldn't have thought it cruel. Maybe it's a boy thing.

It's not code. And I don't think it's the horribly cruel barb some people are making it out to be. It's certainly blunt and direct. A lot less blunt and direct than a punch in the face.

[Disneyphile]

Point taken. So, I've made a note of who deserves my sympathy and who doesn't in future situations, based on how thick-skinned the person is. Yeah, I'm a bitch sometimes.

Back on topic.

So, are we meeting outside the restaurant, or what name is the ressie under?

[innerSpaceman]

:rolleyes:

[Disneyphile]

:p

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

I appologize for the "Punch" comment. Whether it was innocuous is something else, but I will let it die.

Anyone, LoT or otherwise is welcomed to join me for fireworks, even if it's not the normal thing to do and a big hassle to make it after dinner at JK.

[innerSpaceman]

Well, Lisa says we're leaving on time, and so it shall be.


Or as Charleton might phrase it, So let it be written, so let it be done.


Better yet, why don't you join us at JK for dinner ... my treat?

[Not Afraid]

No, I said I (and the LashPair) were leaving on time. You all are on your own.

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

I appreciate the gesture but I have another plan. I really don't know how I will be tomorrow and will might not be in a social mood as it will be my "return" to the park after being machine gunned. I do appreciate it, though.

[Strangler Lewis]

"So let it be written-so let it be done." Wasn't that Pharaoh's line?

[innerSpaceman]

Yes, yes. Cedrick Hardwicke. But "Charleton" had more panache.

[wolfy999]

I appreciate the gesture but I have another plan. I really don't know how I will be tomorrow and will might not be in a social mood as it will be my "return" to the park after being machine gunned. I do appreciate it, though.

Keep in mind....sometimes it's best to be around your friends who care! We miss you Mark!

[Prudence]

We're going to try to come by for this. We want to see the Lashes again and welcome the French contingent. Might not eat anything, but willing to run for fireworks.

[lashbear]

*Urgent* I need you all to read This Thread (http://www.loungeoftomorrow.com/LoT/showthread.php?t=9472).

[Disneyphile]

No Jazz Kitchen for us now either. We really want to give hugs to the Lashpair, and wherever they go, we go. :) (I refuse to say "goodbye" or any other similar phrase.)

[Not Afraid]

Louis is on a plane at the moment and is planning on meeting everyone at the JK. I don't believe he has a phone. I need someone to meet him at the JK at 7:45 and tell him dinner is off. We should probably tell the JK that we're not going to be there as well.

[Not Afraid]

Why am I coordinating?

[wolfy999]

Because you are good at it?!

[wolfy999]

I'll meet Louis at JK and let him know what's going on. I'll call you once we've met up (and anyone else who isn't aware of the changes) to find you guys.

[Not Afraid]

Thank you, Diane!

[SzczerbiakManiac]

Why am I coordinating?For the same reason I bake Love Brownies.

[madmonkeygirl]

Gotta love last minute plans. lol....
