Originally Posted By Liberty Belle Well, there's no backing out now kiddies, I've just booked the flights! Qantas ended up having $63 flights so I decided to snap them up before they sold out, so hopefully that weekend's still okay with everyone. We'll be there from 27/2 - 2/3 and are pretty flexible as to when on those days we do the meet. (And a Brisbane catch-up sounds good too WD, if you end up making it here!)
Originally Posted By Liberty Belle Lunch sounds good MJ. On the Saturday?? I've now had to change my flights Still the same weekend, but I have a new job and couldn't get time off, so instead of being there Friday morning - Monday afternoon, we're now there Friday night - Sunday night (and it's costing me over $200 for the privilege of having less time there...typical!) I'll quit whining now I'm still very much looking forward to it!!

Originally Posted By Liberty Belle Sorry to hear it, TAQ But looking forward to meeting the rest of you! And Irishfan, welcome back to Sydney, hope you had a good break!

Originally Posted By Liberty Belle Loved the pics, Irish! Okay boys and girls, I've just booked accom at Darling Harbour so it looks like we're all systems go! Now we just need to make a meeting time and place (of course we do still have 4 weeks left to plan that, but I thought I'd get the ball rolling since it might take a while...) I think I already gave Deb my mobile number, but if anyone else wants it please email me at the address in my profile!

Originally Posted By WorldDisney Hey guys, havent forgotten just not on the site too much lately, but yes, all sounding good . Glad you can work something out Liberty Belle and no, never made it to Brisbane. The HUGE lack of funds sort of killed that idea . But lunch sounds great that weekend, cant wait!!!
Originally Posted By irishfan Not long to go now! Any thoughts of where we are going to meet? I'm guessing Darling harbour?
Originally Posted By Liberty Belle Darling Harbour would be great if we can manage it! Where's a good meeting place? Are we doing a Saturday lunch, did we decide, or did I make that up? I'm far too sleepy to actually go back and look ...
Originally Posted By irishfan Not sure if we decided if it was to be a Saturday lunch or not, but a lunch sounds good. There are lots of choices at Darling Harbour, from expensive to cheap (think food courts!), either way it doesn't bother me what we choose.
Originally Posted By Liberty Belle Of course, it's just occured to me (cos I is slow) that it really HAS to be Saturday because I fly out at 2 on the Sunday! So hope it suits, and I like Irishfan's idea of the cheap to expensive range at Darling Harbour. So where do we meet? And what time? At this point, my only other plans for the day are geeking out at the Star Wars exhibit and leaving my Star Wars-hating friend to wander the streets of Darling Harbour alone, forlorn and dejected. HOWEVER, that's really something I can do either before or after the meet. Unless of course I've now scared you off with the very mention of my geekdom and you all suddenly remember you had "alternative plans" ...
Originally Posted By irishfan I really dont think you should worry about your "geekdom" when we are organizing a Disney meet! Anywhere in Darling harbour is fine with me, but if your going to be at the Powerhouse Museum, maybe that side of the harbour would suit best? Could meet outside the Imax, or by the Olympic Monument outside the Convention Centre (both are just suggestions, feel free to pick somewhere else). How many are coming along?
Originally Posted By Liberty Belle >>I really dont think you should worry about your "geekdom" when we are organizing a Disney meet!<< Well, that DOES ring true Outside the IMAX sounds good to me (mainly since I actually know where it is). As for how many, I'm coming with a friend, I'm pretty sure Deb is still coming but MJ can't make it anymore Then there's you and WD, are you guys coming alone or with someone?
