Cheers

Fellow VTer Paul and his wife and twins are in Orlando for a family vacation.
They are staying at Disney and do not have transportation. So I have suggested
that any other Vters in the area might want to get together on Sunday afternoon
around 4 or 5 P.M. in downtown Disney. A quick snack and something to drink and a social meeting............easy and relaxed. Downtown Disney just off
I 4. Please rsvp to SONG@VTMail.com so I can make arrangements. Thanks.

VTer pg12359 is from New York State.........http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/fb19d/

I'll be in town for a Brewers-Cards saturday afternoon game. This sounds like a great stop after the game (and to celebrate the Brewers win:).

It's at downtown St Lou, 12th St & Market St, a dozen blocks west of the river it seems. I've never been there, not sure what to expect.

Meet at 5pm-ish??

Thursday, October 8th Meet and Greet at our Saratoga Springs Villa from 5:00 PM 8:00 PM. Cost: $10.00 per person, payable at the door. Please R.S.V.P. Our hospitality suite is at 1960 Broadway, Lake Buena Vista, FL 32830 and is across the river from Down Town Disney. My cell 941 448-1311.

Friday, October 9th - We will gather at the Hospitality Villa at 11:00 AM. Bring your bathing suit because we are going to depart for a brief property tour of Disney?s Wilderness Lodge and then enjoy the hot tubs and luxurious swimming pool area at this deluxe resort.
Snacks and lunch will be self- hosted and there is a wide variety of food choices available at sit down restaurants, inexpensive food courts and poolside food service.

We will depart Disney?s Wilderness Lodge about 2:00 PM and proceed to Disneys Animal Kingdom Lodge, another deluxe 5 star resort. You will immediately believe that you have been transported to Africa.
After we have viewed all the animals indigenous to Africa that wander unhampered on the property, we will return to our home base at Disney?s Saratoga Springs Resort. Everyone is welcome to refresh themselves (there are four full bathrooms) and have a complimentary soda or adult beverage or three while we take a brief respite and gear up for the 1st annual Orlando VT Olympics.

The V.T. Olympics will commence at Saratoga Springs Resort at 6:00 PM. Kathy is the C.E.O and event organizer. I don?t know what to expect myself, except that competition will be fierce and there will be ?valuable? prizes for the winners. I know this because we have $1.83 in the budget allotted for prizes.
Following these robust activities, we will walk over to Saratoga Spring?s Turf Club Restaurant for a self-host dinner. I have arranged for separate checks. Click here for a menu.
