Same time next year? The Wednesday after MLK Day, thus Wednesday January 21, 2026, same location?

(Sorry, no, I can’t organize it, I just want to have that date on my calendar in case we start planning a trip to Orlando for next January.)

Based on prior discussions in this thread, that would be the anticipated date.

I think Rick and I can make it next year. I have been sitting around this house since we got back from our Disney trip on 12/18. I have weeks to use, and I am going to use them!

I took one of those while we were there, right after I took the first photo in the post above.

Didn't HVC or MVC send any salespeople?
Perhaps. A couple walked in early on and I said hello. I thought they were with the TUG group because they said something about TUG. I never saw them again. Perhaps they just wanted to see what TUG people looked like without actually knowing what TUG even was.
