There are a few of us living in the Sunshine State and several planning on visiting ( at some point, everyone visits WDW). I'd thought I'd try to organize something-either a meal or a weekend like we did December 2012 in Orlando.
Weekend? Day? Meal?
Time of year?
Activities?
And the biggie, since traveling state from end to end takes about 9 hours- REGION? 
Any interest/input is welcome!

I'm in the Tampa area. Orlando seems like a good central meeting place. Unless this appeals to anybody

In that case it would have to be more coastal.

Party at Sunset's! (Menz t/j)
If it's anywhere in the Orlampa metroplex, or even towards the SW area, I'm in. Any time of year except summer.
Thanks Kajem, feel free to PM me if you want help/input.

What's wrong with summer??? It's not that bad and the crowds are less.

The knights have family in the Tampa area and are planning a trip to Tampa/Orlando some time possibly in July-August. We will have a crew of kids with us but might be able to make a meal.

The only reason I object to summer is because we "summer" up north. I'd hate to miss a GTG in Orlampa while we're in Minnesnowta!

This sounds like such a good idea. It would take some planning for me.
I do have a friend in Daytona. I am willing to drive to where ever you plan it.
That sunset on the west coast looks pretty good.
I would just need advance notice to plan, maybe scrape together airfare...
I agree with 20wrongs, summer in the north is nice. Go south when it gets cold here!

I'm just north of Orlando, and I'm willing to drive in either direction as well!

Count me in, Tampa to Orlando and anywhere south works fine for me, but anywhere outside of the panhandle will work.

I don't post much anymore but I'm game. I had a great time in 2012.
Work is kicking my butt right now so would need some lead time on dates.
I prefer Gulf Coast but can deal with O-Town.
Kajem - we can carpool - I'll drive.

Well, we have a quorum. (I always wanted to say that)
Orlando seems logical but eff word Orlando. Let's go coastal. I know every side street, beach bar, tourist trap and shopping district from Tarpon Springs to Sarasota. I'm open for now, but what are the thoughts on a date?

I'm going to follow this thread...my sis is in Jax and I go down there a bit. I'd be up for extending a trip to hit Gulf Coast and do some G2G or fishing

Hi Tred! (and Mrs. Tred!)
So, on behalf of Kajem, I will throw some spaghetti on the wall and see what sticks....
Maybe the 3rd or 4th weekend in September? Anytime after Sept 12 works for me.
I know O-Town/WDW is central (and is an easy way to justify a boondoggle) but I would be really keen on a Gulf Coast GTG. I love that area and I would be totally down for some fishing as well as cocktails, museums, beach time, whatever.
Wait ... what? Party at Sunset's??
OK!
