Pete M Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 edit: We are now set for Sunday Oct 13th at Disney Springs at either Jock Lindsey's or The BoatHouse (they are right next to each other). Be sure to plug the Lime garage (parking is free) into your GPS if you are unfamiliar with the area. There are paper maps of Disney Springs available as you exit the garage and enter the "town". If anyone is bringing their MJ, my thought was to all park on the roof of the Lime garage so there's a hope of the trucks being close to each other. I wanted to start an official thread to gather up the thoughts on what to do and when to do it. I'll be in Disney World this week (show up monday, leave on saturday) so I was thinking we could maybe meet up at Disney Springs one evening? The evening of the 16th is unavailable for me (got a DVC party that night at Typhoon Lagoon). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I'm in for whatever, but won't have any wheels to get around in. Wherever we meet up would need to be cab-able/uber-able from Caribbean Beach property (just south of Epcot). I think we're there Sunday-Thursday.

Pete M Posted September 18, 2019 Author Share Posted September 18, 2019 what days are you at which parks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I don't think we figured that out yet. I know, rookie mistake. Our main focus is going to be Epcot, because of the Food and Wine festival. We do want to see the new Star Wars section, and go to Animal Kingdom (we didn't get there last year). Plus I think we're going to take one day and just stay on the hotel property....last year we stayed at Riverside and there was alot of stuff to do on property but we didn't do any of it because we were so fixated on getting into the different parks.

Drahcir495 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I wanted to get one of these CC PowWows for as long as I have been a member here. It’s my fiancé birthday week, so I need to plan a special time for her around this. I would be driving up in the Cherokee, so I would have room for several passengers. I will be sure to set the date that we come up with in stone! This will be the highlight of my month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftpiercecracker1 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Oh hell yes. I have about a month to get my truck roadworthy again. LETS DOOO IT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buxmj Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Hey guys, I do hope I can meet up with you but unfortunately it will be difficult. I am a musician and have a weekly gig every Wednesday evening up in Sanford and then we as a family will be out of town for a few days from Thursday the 17th until Sunday evening. The best day and time for me would be either Sat the 12th or Sun the 13th. I also could make Sun the 20th work if it is later in the evening. So sorry that my schedule doesn't help, hope to meet you guys sometime that week though! Buck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted September 23, 2019 Author Share Posted September 23, 2019 Is there anyone that can't make it to Disney Springs on Sunday the 13th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I confirmed with my wife that we are coming down on Sunday and leaving on Friday. We should be in town early afternoon, and we can make plans for Disney Springs that night, I think........let me check with her to make sure she doesn't have something already planned for that first night, lol.

buxmj Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Sorry Pete, I can and will make it on the 13th, didn't respond because you were asking who couldn't make it. Looking forward to meeting you and hopefully several other CC members. Thanks for getting the word out and let me know if I can do anything or bring anything since I am probably the closest local. Buck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted September 25, 2019 Author Share Posted September 25, 2019 thanks Buck. also we need to figure out where we're meeting. I picked the Springs since it's free to park for locals, has bus transport for Jeff, and has a bazillion things to do. But what to do? restaurant? bar? bowling? do we want a place that serves dinner? or just snacks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drahcir495 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 I just got this post. I will confirm that Sunday the 13th is good and get back to you tonight. As for where to go, I am not familiar with that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted September 25, 2019 Author Share Posted September 25, 2019 oh, and if everyone could send me a PM with your phone numbers, that'd be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 We're in for Sunday evening....something dinner-ish would be nice. Cause, we need to eat dinner, lol. PM inbound with my digits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted September 27, 2019 Author Share Posted September 27, 2019 So now the business of specifically where to meet. Disney Springs has a TON of different things to contemplate. how about Jock Lindsey's Hanger bar? It's got food and drinks, super cool decor, I don't remember it being all that loud. Maybe we can get spots in the outside boat! (it's fully attached to land, not a floating thing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buxmj Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 That sounds good Pete, sounds like a good hang, looking forward to it! Buck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I defer to the locals and more experienced travelers to the area. We've only been there once, and took buses and/or cabs everywhere we went. Y'all figure out the where, and me and missus mjeff (Missi) will be there, lol. I just got my head shaved again, seeing as how summer just won't let go around here, and we're gonna be in FL in 14 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone else should aim for the Lime parking garage as it's the closest. For anyone that doesn't already know, Jock Lindsey is the pilot that saves Indiana Jones at the beginning of Raiders of the lost ark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted September 29, 2019 Author Share Posted September 29, 2019 the menu: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/dining/disney-springs/jock-lindseys-hangar-bar/menus/ It's more or less fancy bar food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted September 30, 2019 Author Share Posted September 30, 2019 there are practically infinite choices for food in Disney Springs, but a nearby option is The BoatHouse which is right next door and has a much bigger menu but is kinda pricey (I think it's $18 for a burger). I do like their dockside bar which is out on the water but still lets you order the same food. I've got no idea how busy any of these places will be on a random Sunday evening. Not sure which should be higher on the priorities list, "food options" or "quiet setting". Some of the restaurants can get quite noisy around mealtime so I'm trying to avoid those.
