Scrooge does Disney - 7/18 through 7/21
 

Wherein Scrooge bends to gentle persuasion

After getting my ears chewed by Sac and Crystal (a not entirely unpleasant experience I will treasure forever), it has been made clear that I have committed the unpardonable sin of failing to author a thread detailing my upcoming DLR trip plans.

I thought a calendar entry was quite sufficient, but it seems I was wrong.

For all that didn't know, I will be arriving Saturday, July 18th, whereupon I will acquire a Premium Annual Passport <insert 3 in-your-face passport thrusts just for Lisa> before immersing myself in 4 days of theme park nirvana in your fine city. Why premium? Because I'm coming back in December... with friends!

Any and all interested in meeting up are invited to PM me for a cell number. I have no hard and fast plans other than to get my relax on. Rather do something offsite? Speak up!

Word on the street (and in the calendar) is one of LoT's luminaries will also be visiting during this same time period. She can start her own thread, dammit.

Interesting choice.


The day after Disneyland Birthday.




well, I hope to be back to the Park sometime that weekend, and would love to see you again.

Ehh, they're bored with me now, Scrooge. Hell, I'm bored with me. But you, on the other hand, are totally fresh meat. :evil:


Actually, I'm beyond thrilled to be finally meeting you in person! I'm gonna fire off a PM to you now, mister. See ya in a few weeks!:cheers:

We're not going to go over that issue again are we?

The 17th was a special event and Monday the 18th was the first day for the public, so it's the true birthday. ;)

Yes, well... I hear you, Steve. I cringed when I made that connection a couple of weeks back. And then cringed again when I realized those are blackout dates for SoCal passholders.

Were I local, DL's BD would be foremost in my mind. But I live in a world far removed, and only get to visit yours when the conditions are right; after quarterly reports are done and presented.

Just know that I have no problem exiting the berm for the right reasons. You and many others here qualify as right reasons.

Sam, my dad is town those exact dates, but alas, we'll only be at the park on the 17th.

Though I was tossing around in my head the idea of inviting LoTters to brunch on Sunday the 19th, at Inn of the Seventh Ray, in Topanga Canyon (inland of Malibu.) That'd be an LA road trip for you, but it's a wonderful place and very worth it.

Like a Jewish mother, I was.






See you in December, Sam.:cheers:

Well, I'll see if I can come up with some "right reason" options for Saturday.

Okay, so I'm reviving this thread, as I'm too tired to create a new one and really more excited about meeting Scrooge irl than pretty much anything else...


Plans? Scrooge is staying at the DLH, as are we, which (in my mind) opens up lots of potential for those who are AP impaired. We are so close to DTD that it seems to me that DTD meets are entirely feasible and in fact expected. Of course, if no one else can make it, we will gladly kidnap Scroogeboy for the duration. Stll, it would be ubercool to get a specific Scrooge meet going- don't you all agree?:D

We're still unable to join in at the park after Scrooge arrives, but our invitation to brunch in Topanga still stands for anyone who's interested! :)
