How about a meet at your fav place in the world with your fav people??!?!? Yep.... Disney World and WDWMAGIC members.... Sound good?!!?!? Yep.... we thought so! Myself and @Pooh Lover got to talking, after reading @disneysince71 's
daily reports on her wonderful Disney vacation. (Thank you @disneysince71 !!) So
many of us talk daily on this wonderful site, and all love Disney... so why not
all visit at the same time?!?! We were thinking beginning to the end of October
of 2014. (awesome weather, F&W, MNSSHP, lower crowds, historically either
free dining or room discount) Nothing wrong with that!!! We could always plan a
night for dinner, or snacks, or a day at Typhoon Lagoon. Where we meet isn't as
much as a factor as us all shaking hands, giving hugs, or saying "Hey I follow
your posts!!" Just a good time planned with good people. We wanted to post this way in advance,
to give everyone enough time to plan, check schedules and say "hey.... why
not?!?!?!?" Again, dates are totally open, beginning to the end of October. Any
and all suggestions are MORE than welcomed!!! We hope to see all of you and your
families there!!

One Little Spark...
I am new to wdwmagic, but I would suggest dates in mid to late August (no...no selfish reasons relating to my own convenience...none at all!)

Seriously though, regarding crowds and general availability, late May / Early June or Mid to late August seems the best range to shoot for, if a mass turnout is assumed. It fits in with school schedules, work schedules, etc, far better than mid school year trips.
