TUESDAYS in the PARKS with FRIENDS

Animal Kingdom (map)

Selected By: Mary Pat

Let's reorganize the "Walk & Ride Mondays" we had from August-October 2011. Try Tuesdays to go to one Park each week to walk around, ride the rides and have fun. Lunch stop after a few hours or bring your lunch. Stay as long as your time and feet allow! Always meet in front of "Guest Relations" inside the turnstiles. Every park has one...see the map. I need a co-host if ever I can't make it. I'll bring a "meet-up" sign.

    I would like to join you and had gone over one time, however, could not find the group. I live fairly close to Disney; also wondering if I have to own an annual pass for Disney? I was told that some are workers at Disney, and are the walkers too. Thanks, Donna

    You do need an Annual Pass or Disney Cast ID for Tuesdays in the Parks. Many of the night time walks are at the Disney Resort Hotels and you don't need a pass there. Whenthe WFFAD group go to the Concerts at Epcot, you need a pass. Hope to see you at one of the meet-ups.

    Thank you for the reply. I don't have a pass and probably won't purchase one. Guess I won't be able to join the walkers. I hope to get involved with some Meet-Up group. I am single and live in a 55+, community but really don't have anyone to socialize with. They are mostly married folks and seasonal. Thank you.

    Donna... though you wouldn't be able to join us for these "in the park" events... most of our walks are at the Disney hotel properties (Boardwalk, Caribbean Beach, etc) and you don't need a pass for those. Please come out and join us one night... it is a great group!

    Thanks for the warm reply Cheryl and Kate, I do appreciate your note. I will keep my eyes open for the evening walks and hope to join you soon. I love meeting new people and look forward to getting together with the group.

    I want to thank you all for coming today and hope you'll make it a regular Tuesday event. I've posted this meet-up for the next two weeks, but it's in the "SUGGESTED" tab until two people sign up. Loved meeting you all. Was great to see so many new faces.

    Donna, Meeting lots of retirees and semi-retirees (cast members, etc), so this is a very welcoming group and hope to see you some evening. We also sometimes go to the Free Disney outdoor movies at each of the resorts after the walks - especially when it stays light out long enough to get the walk in first.

    Cheryl, I was in Camp Minnie/Mickey yesterday, which is unusual. Also had a stint at the back of the tree, but i guess you were not in those spots when i was! Now, if you'd have had photo with Goofy, you'd have found me!

    Kate, We were at 10:30 Lion King Show at Camp M/M, but didn't look around. We actually had our photo taken with GOOFY...several times throughout the day! LOL

    Haven't been to Animal Kingdom in a couple of years. Was nice to meet new people and walk in beautiful surroundings, like being in Africa. Great form of exercise.
