Okay everyone, today the group of us planning our get together have some good and bad news.
Obviously, we're looking at Hurricane Ian's impact on Florida in the coming days, and obserbong what that means for those of you flying in to visit us. Flights and roads are going to be crazy, as an unpredictable mess comes our way.
We have decided to approach the day of the 40th with no formal RSVP system. The idea for name badges and the Google doc did  not work well, as we only had 4 responses.
HOWEVER, this is not a discouraging message. We are celebrating a park that has persevered, survived, and grown beyond all odds. It's a place that has given all of us hope, comfort, and excitement for 4 decades. That's something in need of celebration.
AS SUCH, we will still be gathering together in Imagination Gardens. I know some of us have plans for the day, so we will begin mingling at our originally planned time of 10 AM. We will collectively take a picture in front of Imagination Gardens, and plan our day. The idea is to host group rides of select attractions, and gather together for a meal in Connections Cafe.
Then, as day turns to night, we will be hosting a group viewing of Harmonious, as well as the 40th Anniversary fireworks tag. We will be meeting between Japan's Tori Gate and America Gardens Theater, positioned around one of the Lagoon's torches. Here, we will gather around the fire, 'to share the light, and to share a story' of our individual experiences and love for the park.
We hope all of you can join us on this special day, celebrating a park near and dear to us all. Mother Nature may have thrown us a curveball, but we're still going to party!
Gotta park hop, but I guess either way the best I can do is like four o'clock. Don't know if there's still a point to showing up at that point?
