The location and address is in the first post.

 

[simpsontruckdriver]

Life changes, things come up, so I will not be able to attend. But, if anyone wants to come to Hollywood Studios on Tuesday or Friday evening, I will be working 5p - close Tuesday and 2:30pm - close Friday. You could always do a "secret shopper" (aka Cast Compliment) on the WDW app for my driving!

[Jan M.]

I gave my name, Jan Macey, and that it's the TUG group, when I called to reserve the room.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there!

 

[silentg]

I hope they have plenty Of soup ?

 

[pedro47]

Wishing everyone safe travel today and an excellent fellowship gathering.

I hope they have plenty of hot soups and a good selection of food items on the buffet. LOL

 

[TUGBrian]

well drat, i was actually trying to come down to attend as a surprise visit but unfortunately with the kids home from school today and wife having to work it was not in the cards!

hope everyone has a wonderful time!

also whomever is there, come up with a way to pick a winner for a "random gift" and let me know who the winner was =)

 

[dioxide45]

There was a good turnout. Unless I miscounted there were 16 people and it seems everyone had a great time. Here are the TUG names of those who attended (not necessarily including any + 1);
@Jan M. - Jan couldn't make it but her husband Jim attended.
@silentg
@Goldi
@LenG3804
@AwayWeGo
@jeffwill
@vv813
@SmileLynn
@noreenkate
@jenmcnitt
@dioxide45

@TUGBrian We didn't do anything to pick a winner, perhaps you can do something with the names above?

 

[pedro47]

Outstanding turn out by all who attended. Also, I feel the Golden Corral Restaurant appreciate The Tuggers Annual Luncheon. IMHO

 

[TheHolleys87]

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.

 

[rickandcindy23]

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!

 

[noreenkate]

It was definitely nice to put faces to the screen names-

thanks again to all for welcoming me and my son to the group.

 

[silentg]

The photographer forgot to take a selfish. LOL

 

[silentg]

It was nice to see all of you, as you can see it was cold in there which is why we are all in coats.

 

[dioxide45]

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

 

[TolmiePeak]

Didn't HVC or MVC send any salespeople?

 

[dioxide45]

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.
