This is the address I’m using for Panera, in case anyone else needs to map it. Hope it’s the right one.

11472 University Boulevard  
Orlando, FL 32817

If anyone wants to, you can email me and I’ll send you my mobile number. Email is in the profile. Or email Foxy with your number, we have each other’s digits already.

I’m coming, and who’s emailing me the what-now?  
**Shibb** , I hope you aren’t scrawling my phone number on the stalls in men’s restrooms again…

I hate you people for doing this on my long-planned weekend at Disney with my wretched mother whom I could undoubtedly not ditch at any point on Saturday. **Shibb** and **foxy** , do either of you still have my cell number? If it stretches into the evening, I may be able to get away for a bit. Drop me an e-mail.

:eek: That’s not the right Panera. That’s not even in Winter Park :eek:

This is the Panera everyone should meet at:

118 W Fairbanks Ave  
Winter Park, FL  
32789

I checked with work, and I will be there! I’ll bring signage 😉

[QUOTE=ShibbOleth]  
Anyone have any experience with the Grand Bohemian Hotel in Orlando? Nice place?  
[/QUOTE]

Super-nice, very fancy, probably on the pricey side. It’s in downtown Orlando, but less than five minutes from I-4, which will quickly take you to the Fairbanks Avenue exit into Winter Park and directly to the Panera in question.

I just wanted everyone to know this. This is the official Panera Bread meeting point. 1pm, right?

(Okay, now I’m getting nervous. )

If you go to [panerabread.com](http://panerabread.com) you can put in driving directions from your home or wherever you will be on Saturday.

Yep. Meet from 12:30 to 1PM. Eat at 1:30 after we decide where we wanna go.

Again, the location is in Winter Park right by stone arch where Fairbanks meets Park Ave

118 W Fairbanks Ave  
Winter Park, FL  
32789  
It’s gonna be fun!

Please take pictures for those of us who don’t live anywhere near Florida.

I really want to know what that sign is going to say.

Have fun!

I’m glad we’re leaving a little wiggle room in the time. It’ll probably be closer to 1:00 by the time I get there.

**Autolycus** , you don’t really have to bump a thread 1 minute after another poster has just written something!!! 😉

I’m excited, I hope you have a sign or something and are recognizable. I’ll be the one in the glasses with the mass of curly hair.

Can’t wait to see everyone!

I’ll most likely be the one looking totally formal, as I have a job interview at 3:00pm I have to attend.

Unless everyone plans on arriving with a button up shirt, tie, and slacks.

You have the sign, right? Because I’m not tying an onion to my belt. That would be weird.
