I'm definitely interested, but as mentioned in the other thread, it's difficult to impossible to get away from the office much before the 15th of the month. If the planets are aligned correctly and I hold my tongue just so and cross my eyes, it may be possible to get away by the 10th (depends on when EOM falls--it helps when it's close to the weekend!). Apart from that, the month of January does not exist on my calendar (YE, FYE and related stuff in addition to the usual accounting stuff). And this desert rat almost became a blob on the pavement in Orlando's August humidity this past summer! But if it's the best time for everyone else, I'll carry my fan and try not to whine!
Taswira, when planning dates, don't forget that those of us in the western states have to allow a travel day on either side of the dates we would be at WDW. Our flight in August left at the uncivilized hour of 6:30 a.m. to arrive by 2:30 p.m.! The flight wasn't that long--just had to deal with three time zones!
Thoughts for meet locations: some in parks, some outside (DTD, Boardwalk, resorts, etc.). That would permit those who want to economize to be involved without having to buy park tickets for all of the meets. Perhaps a meal offsite (it sounds as though you're familiar enough with the area to select a good place). If meets are planned around meals, try for places with fairly varied menu selections (I'm a picky eater and others may be vegetarian or have severe food allergies) or select different types of cuisine (anything from basic fast food to ...--your imagination can provide the other options!).
It's EOM, so I need to get back to work!
Happy Halloween!
