2nd poll re:Once Upon a Treetop for LIF HOLIDAY GTG!!!!

So, it seemed from the 1st poll that most people were interested in having the GTG at Once Upon a Treetop. The only problem with them is they are entirely booked and the only party time openings they have are 6:00 pm. As many people said they were interested said they wouldnt be able to make it that late b/c it would interfere with their DC's bedtimes. I want to try to be fair and include as many people as possible...some of the toddlers may be able to stay up a little later but ones with younger kids the 6:00 time slot isn't as convenient.

So, taking this all into consideration, do we want the Holiday party to be at Once Upon a Treetop or take them off the list and decide between the others which have more convenient party times that can include more people?

ETA: While the other locations may not be as big as Once Upon a Treetop, if need be we can always break it up into two different time slots back to back which we have also done in the past I believe for GTG's.

Unfortunately when planning for large GTG's we may start off thinking there will be 40 children attending, but the number always dwindles b/c kids get sick, things come up, people have other plans, etc. So I am not worried so much about accomodating everyone party size wise as I am with making it a convenient time for everyone, KWIM???

OTHER OPTION:
The other option is having 2 different holiday party's...doing once at OUATT for the people that can/want to attend and doing a 2nd party at Gymboree in Woodbury which seemed to be the 2nd popular location for those that couldnt go to OUATT and of course if you want to go to both you can!

I voted yes for Treetop.

Any other location and we probably wouldn't go since DS wouldn't really have fun.

I am going to call tomorrow and speak directly to the manager. She wasn't there over the weekend...the girl I spoke to did speak to the manager and said they would work out the price with us. I will find out the definete's tomorrow. I am not sure if they have a minimum. my fear is that we won't get enough people to go and than it will end up be costly for the few that go. But we'll see how that works out.

I just want to comment on this and tell you not to think this. At the Halloween GTG we had a max of 22 + 6 babies under 1. EVERYONE showed up and I had people FMing the morning of to see if they could come. We had a "B" list even the day of!!
