Originally Posted By LuLu Actually, I think it says the train gets in at 8:53 and we would arrive at DLP at 8:59 by foot. Confusing...
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo As for the day at DLP, having thought about it and to ensure we hook up, it would be best for you to come out of the station and head through security towards the park (this is right as you exit) - head through the DLP security gate, not the WDS one. Once you come through security, there is a bronze statue of Mickey's arm and a wand rising up. It's towards the left before you get to the ponds of Fantasia Gardens. That's where everyone is meeting at aboput 9ish. I will keep my eyes peeled though and may send Sarah and the kids through. I am a big guy (6ft2, about 320lbs (aweful I know, thankfully I have lost 40 lbs this year) with balding dark hair (shaved short) - but I will either be wearing an Animal Kingdom Lodge or DCA baseball cap. Sarah is a redhead medium length hair with glasses. And we of course will have Mikey (blonde age 4) and Jessie - light brown hair age 2) with us.

Originally Posted By u k fan If you see someone matching Dave's description, but wearing completely different clothes, looking totally different, with no kids then it's probably me! I would suggest if you can find it (and it's open) going through the security checkpoint that is specifically for people exiting the train station. It's between the main checkpoint and the train station, to the right of the main check point. I always try to go through this one if it's open as it tends to be quieter!!!
Originally Posted By LuLu Boy am I confused! :-D I'll have to print out u k fan's directions and I'll be looking for a bunch of guys with and without kids and wives by the Mickey statue ;-)
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo It's quite easy to find. As you come out of the station, you will enter Disney Plaza with the Village (with a giant Planet for Planet Hollywood) to the left, the studios straight ahead, and DLP to the right. Go through the security tents on the right and once through, the statue of Mickey's arm and a wand is straight towards the left. We will be there. Though as Kiz and I could probably navigate the resort blindfolded now, we may split out and hunt for you. Only a few days till we leave now!!! Woot! Woot!
Originally Posted By u k fan Dave, I was suggesting that, if open, LuLu use the much quieter security check that is off to the right which is mainly for use by those arriving by train. For that checkpoint, you would exit the train station nearer to where the RER lets out (roughly facing the Studios rather than the Bus Depot.) For fear of confusing LuLu I would suggest going whichever way seems easier at the time as it really makes no difference! Dave, what was your AWE comment refering to?!!!
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo That one is fine, but not always open (I was worried about Lulu getting lost.

Ignore my AWE comment, wasn't funny (I am going a little mad at the mo - even more than usual). I will have been on vacation for over a week by the time we all hook up so hopefully I'll be back to my normal by then.
Originally Posted By LuLu ^^^ Hopefully that's a good thing ;-) I'm sure we'll be fine and will be able to find the Mickey statue. Maybe best if you don't go on a search... unless we're getting late and you're sure we're lost!
