PIXELMANIA 2012 MEET SUGGESTIONS

so i haven't dropped off the pixelmania planning thing, but i kind of had to put it all on the back burner for a few, i meant to be back doing suggestions this week and putting up more outline schedule BUT, i had a syncopal episode tuesday night during a fire training exercise, thought at first to be a cardiac event, but heart appears to be fine, i have turned out to be an undiagnosed hypertensive, 200/140 per the first emt's on scene. so i'm now home from the hospital and feeling better, now on lopressor and vasotec and finally addressing my weight issues. so i promise to be active again soon.

 

Glad you are doing better, and anxiously witing to see what surprises lie in store for us. ; I am currently working on the Trek meet for Sunday morning that might be a Breakout Meet for those who attend (but we'll see)...

Glad you are on the mend Gary, take care of yourself!

 

Glad to hear you're ok. ; High blood pressure can be a scary thing and was what convinced me to loose some weight last year.

 

Get the rest and feel better

Splitsville could be another option for an unwinding meet...if it is open by then.

 

That could be fun

 

FYI... Disney just realeased an updated schedule for the Candlelight Processional. ; It looks like the Celeb featured during PixelMania 2K12 is John Denton. ; I had to look up on Google to see what he has been in and most recently he was on the show "Desparate Housewives". ; Not sure if he would make or break the decision to attend (the first time I attended it was just to see the processional itself and not the celeb. ; The next time I went was definitely due to the celeb).

i would attend just for the event so it doesn't matter to me who the narrator is. i vote for a dinner package meet, any restaurant would do, chefs de france still turns me on, and if i am careful with other food choices i can withstand the carb load that the mac & cheese gruyere would be, for those not aware, i have been diagnosed with hypertension and type 2 diabetes, i am well controlling things as of right now with medication with a very good prognosis long term if i lose weight and exercise, so my carb intake is necessarily very much reduced. i was very lucky last year in that the temps dropped considerably behind a cold front/shower just as i hit the saratoga springs check in, and when i made my way to epcot i scored a walk in seat to 5pm candlelight, something i have not seen available in 4-5 years. i would prefer not to have to pay for a disney dinner just to see this, but i find it enjoyable, and it's such a christmas thing that's fits the holiday theming that i am willing to cough up the bucks

 

I think the timing on which of the shows to hit depended on what was being planned for the rest of the evening. ; I would assume that we would not be able to go to the 8:15 candlelight and still make the 8:30 Yeeha Bob if that were the plan for the evening. ; (and yes, he will be doing his christmas show by then!)...

if memory is good, you can do lunch packages for the 5:00 candlelight, this would then leave plenty of time for getting over to yeehaw bob. and i for one would vote for that as part of epcot day right now

 

I was thinking that is what the general consensus was since I thought we were forgoing Illuminations this time around. ; It might work out to try and get a lunch adr at Le Cellier (where you'd get most "bang for your buck" at lunch) since it is either a prix fixe (I think) menu or two TS credits. ; Done at the right time and we could start the "Christmas Traditions" tour from Canada and work our way around before hopping into line for the processional.

Gary's right. ; The lunch package is probably the best option as it is a little less expensive than the dinner package, and still keeps the evening open for Yeehaw Bob or the Boardwalk Resort walk

 

I too think the lunch option is the best way to go. ; It is the cheaper option and still gives PLENTY of time to do Yeeha Bob or any other options.
