Visiting in autumn-would anyone like to meet up?

MeridAriel · Mar 29, 2016

Hi there!
Finally starting to plan out my trip to Europe, aiming for late Sept/early Oct.
Will be staying with friends in Amsterdam, then venturing solo to Paris, possibly Florence, then onto UK & Ireland, not yet sure if I'll be on my own for that bit. I have family history in Wales & Scotland, so I'll be seeing as much as I can.
I would love to make new Disney friends while I'm there! If anyone, local or visiting, would like to meet up in any of those places for a bite or pint, please let me know!
If you're a local, and wouldn't mind providing some advice, or maybe even a quick tour, I'll happily supply you with food or drink of your choice

I'll also gladly return the favor, should any of you find yourselves in the States in the future.

Hi There

I live in Cardiff, The Capital of Wales, The Home of Dr Who, :duck:

not sure where you are visiting if you are coming to Wales, but I would be more than happy to give you some advice or meet up with you if you would like :chat:

MeridAriel · Mar 30, 2016

Woohoo! Cardiff is definitely on my list! Torchwood pilgrimage and all that

I'm still doing some family research to find out exactly where my ancestors lived, so I'm not sure where else just yet...but yes, Cardiff will probably be right after Bath. I would love to meet up!
Thank you!!!

Are there any places that you think I *need* to visit?
I'm still checking into where my family history is, but I'd like to see more than just that

Not visiting England too? Ironically enough we'll be in America at that time!

I'll be in London for a day or two!

London for a day or two will be a rush! September is a good time to come as the crowds have thinned and the weather isn't usually too cold, but the days are getting noticeably shorter than in the summer months.

Hi! I live in London, not too far from London Bridge specifically. I'd be happy to show you a couple of sights and keep you company if you like, big Disney fan here

That would be great! Thank you! ...and judge me all you want, I will be doing the Harry Potter tour hahaha. I also have a few other places/sights I had written down for the short time I'll be there, though I cannot currently find said paper. I'll let you know when I do.

I live near Bath. I would happily meet with you and could take you to nearby Lacock, if you like, to show you where some of the Harry Potter filming was done.

Actually, I had planned to do my damnedest to see Bath on my way to Cardiff

That sounds perfect! I would love to meet up-thank you so much!
I need to start exchanging emails with everyone

wilma-bride · May 4, 2016

Feel free to drop me a PM and let me know when you have an idea of your dates

I did that tour last year and it was AMAZING. They recommend you allow about 3 hours for it - we spent 6.5 hours inside! Most certainly, if you want to meet up just message me or contact me and I'll be glad to show you around

Hi, if Norfolk is in your plans there is Sandringham Estate, Castle Rising and the Historic town of King's Lynn, would be happy to show you around.

I second this! We spent all day inside and could have spent a lot more time there!

If you fancy visiting Norfolk I'd also suggest a visit to Norwich, it's a beautiful historic city...but I am slightly biased!

I didn't know that they filmed in Lacock Joh. I went there last year that weekend i visited you.

Thank you so much, everyone! I have been insanely busy with the end of the school year (life of a teacher, huzzah!), and was recently rear-ended in an auto accident, so I've also been recouping from that. I greatly apologize for the lateness of my reply.
I am currently responding to each of you via conversation, including my email, name, and as close to dates as I am able to give at the moment.
Thanks again! :thanks:

I can't wait to meet you all! Can never have too many Dis friends! :stitch2:

I still don't have exact dates (waiting on my friends in Amsterdam to tell me which times are good for them), but I will most likely be around until mid-October, if you happen to be back by then

Greatly appreciated! However, this trip is a bit time-restricted

So far, I am planning to take the overnight train from Edinburgh to London. If my map-reading skills (I am American...ha!) are correct, I don't think I will be in the area this trip. But I'd gladly exchange emails for the next time I'm across the way!

Were back around October 10th. If you need any advice on what to do in London or where to go or travel tips, feel free to send me an email.
