ICOT 15 Planning

[DisneyGirl85]

Not sure if this should go here or vacation planning so if it should be moved, go right ahead

Anywho....42 more days til I'm there for the ICOT15! I have some questions for all you ICOT Reunion Veterans.

What to wear: I've never been there in October, based on your experience, is it more long pants weather or shorts weather? Or is it shorts during the day, long pants in the evening?

Transportation: I will be one of the people using Disney Transportation and I am staying at POP (first time staying there). I see that there is one meet in the evening at Jellyrolls at Disney's Boardwalk Resort and another at The Wave of American Flavors, Contemporary Resort. Does anyone know how long the buses run and the best way to get back to POP after these events?

Can't wait!!

Days should be warm enough for shorts and tees and nights might be as well. However, nights could also be coolish and require jeans and a sweatshirt.

After parks close, you'd have to take a bus to Downtown Disney and transfer there.

Would renting a car be a better/easier means of transportation for these events?

Hey Kelly, I'm staying at POP too, I'm sure we'll bump into each other on the buses! For the Wave meet, I'm going to walk back over to the MK and grab the bus back to the resort. Since it's a Halloween Party night, buses should be running back to POP until 1 a.m.

Don't think I'll make it to Jellyroll's, but Faline is right that you can take the bus to DTD and get the bus to Pop. But, it depends on how late you stay at Jellyroll's as the club stays open later than when the buses run. Perhaps there are also some iCOT attendees with cars that can give you a lift back to POP.

The past couple times I've been in October it's been upper 70's and 80's during the day and 50's or 60's at night. It all depends on what you consider "cold" and maybe anticipate bringing a hoodie into the park with you (or in Michael's case, multiple hoodies *see last podcast*) or scheduling time to go back to POP and change into warmer clothes. Always be prepared for a possible thunder storm in the afternoon, but in October they are not as frequent as they are in the summer months.

I'll be at Pop, too! And I want to go to Jellyrolls. Maybe some of us can share a cab if it gets late and we're still there.

Hi! And you are going to LOVE October!! It is our absolute favorite time to go. Like others said, days should be warm enough for shorts, nights might be, as well... but to be on the safe side, I'd pack a few capris and long-sleeved t's, or a sweatshirt. Also, watch Chris's (Strmchsr) weather forecast under the Vacation Planning forum... he goes about 10 days out, and is terrifically accurate!!

Looks like you've got plenty of options for transportation to/from the evening parties... I'd offer more advice, but it'd be a repetition of what everyone else said. I'm most likely going to hitch a ride with whomever is headed back to my DVC spot, but if I can help you out, I will!

[Dopey's Girl]

I'm planning on going to Jellyrolls for sure (staying at BC) and will have a car. I'd be more than happy to play driver for anyone who needs it!

[AgentC]

I can probably take a few people back after Jellyrolls too. I'll be at Yacht with a car.

I also wonder how late the bar at Pop stays open. It seems like there will be so many of us at Pop that it might make sense to party there one of the nights. I think I'm going to go back through the threads and try to get some sort of head count, but I think there are more than 10 of us staying there. Not that we would exclude anyone from joining us who is not staying at Pop.

We'll be right across the lake at Art of Animation and I know there's a walkway. Maybe I can join leave Jon and Mackenzie behind and enjoy a nightcap at POP.

I'm pretty sure it's open til at least 10, if not 11 p.m.

[Christine]

Was at POP tonight running and thought of y'all!

[Mousefever]

Cool Christine! Thanks for the visual evidence!

And as we pass the buildings we can sing the songs.

"Life is a Highway" for Cars
"Under the Sea" for Little Mermaid
"Circle of Life" for Lion King

Off-key on my part of course.

[Katzateer]

Sounds like this might be a fun night! We arrive on Weds. And stay until Tuesday so let us know ..........
