Trip Report HAPPY 150TH BIRTHDAY CANADA - A special WDWMagic Meet at a Non Disney Event

Welcome and Bienvenue to my trip report.

(Note: this will be the only bilingual aspect of my post but perhaps my fellow Canucks can help adding in some more.)

As the title suggest today is the 150th Birthday for my country, Canada.
I know I am not alone on these boards celebrating today.

So as Canadians we have a reputation of being polite , well mannered, respectful, etc, etc,
I am proud of my country and its diversity and inclusion approach in all aspects of our lives.
(and if that is offending anyone - I am sorry).

As a famous Canadian ( Martin Short) said at the end of O' Canada:

"If you want to visit then just head straight out the theatre doors , hang a sharp left , walk past the big silver ball and keep walking due north, you can't miss it .
Tell them Marty sent you!!

Well I make the same offer - the door is open and the welcome mat is out!

You may be asking - why is this in the Trip Report section

And I would reply : Excellent question!!

My time on these boards have introduced me to great people from around the globe and from just around the block ( sort of)

One of those local WDWMagic members is going to meet me tomorrow at a national event

Who is it??
Where will it be??

Stay tuned!!!

The first week in August, we are going to my parents in very Northern New York. They now live in the 1000 Islands ( I grew up in Watertown, Ny). We go to Kingston every trip. The Kingston Brew Company is a family favorite and enjoy shopping around the beautiful town. We have not been to Old Fort Henry in a while so I may take the kids.

Sounds like a fun trip
A little far from me though
Have a great ti me!

@amjt660 I have to tell you we have been trying to decide on our next family vacation and we will be traveling (hopefully) to Lake Simcoe. My son requested a vacation on a lake and some jet ski rentals ( I'm hoping there are jet ski rentals some where). My DH loves baseball (Go RedSox!) so a day or two in Toronto will be a must. I know it's early but everyone is excited for this... now we must pick a date next year!!

Lake simcoe is great I am sure you can rent a jet ski

Depending on where you end up drive down to the Rogers Centre to see the Jays would be around 1.5 hours

Or if you stay in TO you can do the CN Tower and Ripleys Aquarium ( they are right beside the Rogers Centre)

If you decide to go on the weekend to see a day game let me know
I would love to meet you and your family

And even if you go mid week I am sure we could figure something out

I know it is next year but we should make this happen!!

We are baseball fans so we would definitely make it to a game and my son actually mentioned college in Toronto (which is still a long time away). So a tour of the city is a must while we are there. Maybe the Blue Jays will be playing the RedSox again!!

Super cool about the meetup with @mlegerto !!! Look at this Disney magic bringing all of us together! I could cry real tears right now.
