Works for me. Can we be back at Bay lake? I think that is next up in the rotation.

bay lake is fine, apparently i am forced into this, i must use the fishy magic to lure dennis into going with us. here dennis dennis, here dennis dennis

 

Bay Lake also gives us a couple of options for post-fishing breakfast as well (if we decide to do so).

The earlier fishing time (and better success rate) at Disney is 7am to 9am… and coming from a guy that won’t even rope-drop, appreciate the miracle . Though it makes for a very long day if you throw Bob into the mix on Pre-meet night.

I’m pretty sure you qualify for sainthood now. You’ve made it to the dock in time for fishing three Pixelmanias in a row.

I’ll be there, probably Friday 12/2- Monday 12/11. Might have to work remotely Monday & Tuesday to preserve enough vacation days for next year. I keep finding new annual events to add to the calendar... Too much to photograph and so little (vacation) time.

Count me in for fishing.

Dave & Gillian, sorry you won’t make it this year. See you in 2023.

John, enjoy Italy. We’ll miss you at Casa de Gary.

Oh, and for those who didn’t notice like me, the Southwest booking window is open for December.

 

and yes i like the post fishing breakfast idea, although kona cafe is under renovation, have to look up breakfast options at grand floridian

 

If not grand Flo… steakhouse 37 or whatever took over the Wave (that we ate at last year) was very good too.

Wavehouse 71 has my vote. The food there is excellent.

So we are set with the plans for fishing. The date is that Wednesday morning 12/7/22 before the start of Pixelmania. The boat line up for boat one is full with Joanie, Red, Gary Faucon, Michael and his Dad, Mr. Summers. After fishing we will head over to the wave for breakfast, if we can get the reservation.

If there are other people that want to go fishing, they will have to set up their own boat rental and breakfast reservation. I can give you the details and the information as to how to do that.

I'm not sure about the rates that Disney is charging for the boat this year since everything experienced a price hike at Disney, but I can give you the number to call to make the reservation.

The boats can take a maximum of five people and it's one price for the boat which you would divide up into the five people that are going.

There is also the tip that you would give the guide. FYI: this is pretty much the only money that these guys make so we tend to be on the generous side with the tip. Disney only pays them for 2 hours of work which is ridiculous because a lot of them drive in just for that 2 hour period. They might get lucky if they get a second charter in the afternoon, but usually that doesn't happen, so the tip is important for those guys.

Let me know if all of that information is needed and I can pass it along.

We will be having a Pixelmania Zoom meeting on Friday September 30th at 7:00pm.
If you'd like to attend, first check your inbox messages to see if a zoom invite is in there. If it's not, reply here and I will send it to you so you can get into the meeting.

The Park of the day for PIXELMANIA is as follows and it MAY CHANGE. Make those park reservations as soon as you are able.

Wednesday Dec. 7th: Topalinos for the pre Pixelmania meal. This plan is pending the successful acquisition of a reservation.
The planning board is responsible for making restaurant reservations.

Thursday Dec. 8th : Epcot
Friday Dec. 9th: DHS
Saturday Dec. 10th: MK
Sunday: Dec. 11th AK

We will reveal restaurant reservations after we are able to make them.

The planning board has decided NOT to do Mickey's Very Merry Xmas party DURING the Pixelmania dates (Wed. the 7th to Sunday the 11th).

If you wish to go to the party you can opt to go during Pixelmania and miss out on the group's plan for that night OR go on a night that is before or after the Pixelmania dates.

The options for pre or post Pixelmania Xmas party are: Tuesday Dec 6th or Tuesday Dec. 13th. If you come earlier or stay later there will be more party dates for you to choose from if you with to go.

I'll post a separate poll to see if anyone wants to go on the other nights.

@Joanie Eddis-Koch Michele and I are doing MVCP on the 8th, she’s never been and wants to go. We’ll join in the rest of the park days. And Pre Meet Dinner if it’s on the 6th. And please include us in dining reservations, except the 8th . Thank you
