WEDNESDAY 12/5/12, 6:30 PM, meet at trails end for the traditional pre-pixelmania feed the tapeworm, followed by some camping loop christmas extravaganza
THURSDAY 12/6/12 MAGIC KINGDOM
10:00 intro meet on the sidewalk, along the hedge on the magic kingdom side of the bus stop area, walk to the contemporary where tim devine does a short talk about how to shoot lobby displays, lighting oddities and focal lengths etc.
11:00 - 1:00 tim time, boat to ft wilderness for their impressive lobby tree, boat back to contemporary, then using the resort loop monorail to visit and photo the polynesian & grand floridian christmas lobby displays, returning eventually to the magic kingdom
3:00 pm some sort of a magic kingdom meet, perhaps tommorrowland technique
4:30 pm wristband meet for mcvmcp, site TBA
FRIDAY 12/7/12 EPCOT/CRESCENT LAKE
12:00 pm first meet of the day, note the later time to allow late party folk the chance to sleep in, place TBA
3:00pm christmas storytellers walk, NOT a tim time production, a reasonably active paced walk around world showcase to catch as many of the storytellers as schedule and interest allow, priorities given to germany, france and uk as these are the closest to our own traditions
7:00 pm meet in front of the boardwalk bakery for evening warm coffee if weather dictates, boardwalk lobby, swan and dolphin on the quick, to allow plenty of time for the masterpiece at the yacht club lobby, followed by the beach club lobby, with an anticipated 9:30 ish beaches and cream for the kitchen sink(s) figure 1 sink per 6-7 persons. you will note illuminations is not on this years schedule at this time, the planning board is seeking to provide some new variety in the meets, not to say that illuminations cannot return in 2013
SATURDAY, 12/8/12 HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS DAY
10:00 astute observers will note the pattern here of a little more relaxed pace and a little more sleep time. meet in front of beauty & the beast on sunset, for a little t-mip staff tutorial on how to shoot the very rose' colored lighting, followed by the first showing, this is a time sensitive meet and could involve killing time over coffee waiting for the theater to open, in an attempt to score serious upfront seats
post show muppet meet, TBA, dependent on B&B show times
afternoon meet, perhaps indy, perhaps LMA, perhaps great movie ride, attendee demand and tim's connections will determine this part
osborne lights meet, i know it's a weekend but this can be done fairly late, thus the more relaxed pace today so we have energy left to do this as needed/ alternate is to do osborne lights as soon as darkness falls followed by yeehaw bob, yeehaw bob depends on his performance schedule and could possibly be moved to friday night, post beaches & cream
SUNDAY 12/9/11, ANIMAL KINGDOM
9:00 meet in front of kilimanjaro safari ride for a group safari
festival of the lion king, time to be announced, depending on other show times such as nemo and group wishes, as i know some folk will probably have to head airport bound in the afternoon
3:45 this usually the jingle jamming jungle parade, something a little different as a group, maybe meet near safari entrance so as to ride the last safari of the day, maybe catch them putting the animatronic lions in for the night
this is only a tentative schedule outline, there will be a seperate thread for additional meet suggestions and fine tuning, this will be modified into the final schedule as time nears, hopefully by 9/1/12
and expect some sort of efforts to organize a begin at the end fort wilderness decorations meet, for anyone who hasn't seen the camping loops in christmas decoration, all i can say is, it's worth it
