Since I missed the last one, I’m taking the initiative to suggest this one. Lake Eola Park, Winter Park Village, just about anywhere… who’s in? ---

Work has me down in Orlando quite a bit, and I love the town. I’d be up for this! ---

Maybe. I’m not good at committing to social occasions. 😃 Depends on where/when/what. ---

[QUOTE=TroubleAgain] Depends on where/when/what. [/QUOTE] Same for me. I’ll be in Orlando soonish though and would try to make it. ---

Depends for me too, but I’d be interested in another one too even though I did make it to the last. ---

Hmm. Let’s throw Saturday, May 3rd out there for now, and we’ll modify as necessary. I was thinking we meet at some well-known location, preferably outside so we can make trenchant observations about people walking past while we wait and/or try to guess which Doper the person walking up is… …followed by a low-intensity booze-up, then… profit? I’m not sure it should be tied to a particular attraction/event because I don’t want to put off people that aren’t into… whatever we choose. ---

I think that will work for me. Are we doing lunch or dinner? ---

[QUOTE=ivylass] I think that will work for me. Are we doing lunch or dinner? [/QUOTE] Both? What? I get hungry fast. Late lunch would be best, I think. I imagine those of us who are DF virgins will be more comfortable meeting during the day. ---

I would vote for a quiet place where we can have a nice chat. Preferably, not a chain restaurant. Ya know, unless you really want to treat us all to Emeril’s 😉 ---

Gee, I’ll be in Orlando on May 3. For my daughter’s graduation from UCF. And on May 4, for her wedding. Yeah, not too likely that I could OrlanDope, but I hope you all have fun! ---

I think I can do Orlando on the 3rd. ---

[QUOTE=Really Not All That Bright] New plan- we all crash **FairyChatDaughter** ’s wedding. Or graduation, even. Are **Ivy** and I the only UCF alumni? [/QUOTE] My brother is a UCF alumni (Mech Eng). He’s a lurker. I don’t think he has a screen name or anything. I’m probably down for whatever, but I’m terrible at planning. Just get the details together (where/when/what) and count me in (probably). I’m about 2 hours from Orlando, but lurker brother lives there. And what’s this crap about “low intensity booze-up”? Bring it on!!! ---

[QUOTE=Really Not All That Bright] New plan- we all crash **FairyChatDaughter** ’s wedding. Or graduation, even. Are **Ivy** and I the only UCF alumni? [/QUOTE] \*\*FCD \*\* went to UCF, which is partly why daughter wanted to go there. And you don’t have to crash the wedding - I need some workers, so you can come work the wedding, then go out and party. Win-win! 😃 Or not… 😛 ---

[QUOTE=Really Not All That Bright] Are **Ivy** and I the only UCF alumni? [/QUOTE] I got a Master’s from UCF. Does that count? Admittedly, it was through a satellite campus…I’ve only visited the main campus twice. Hmmm…Orlando? It’s a bit of a hike (3 hours, methinks), but I’m enough of a Dope Fiend to want to make the trip (Hell, I’m driving to Tampa in a week and a half to see a Ray’s game!). Plus, I could stop off at Mom’s in Daytona, which would make her day. ---

I wish **Acid Lamp** and I could come, but I don’t think we’ll have any spare money to make a trip to a Dopefest _and_ be able to pay for food for us. ☹ Maybe in five or six months if we can get our finances straight… ---

You’re already IN Orlando (according to your location)! The only dopefest I’ve ever been to was a few years ago and drove to GA for the damn thing! It was great though. ---

Dammit! That’s the one weekend in May I have a prior engagement. ☹ Somebody make dirty jokes and laugh at the drunks for me, consarnit. (I am in Bradentucky, but would cheerily make the drive to Orlando to meet a buncha Dopers, don’t you know.) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-wants-to-do-orlandope/444643.md?page=2)
