What's the difference between a mini-do and another do?

Tentatively in, date dependent. Can't do today for example!

The same as the difference between a Pickle Barrel and a Pickle Barrel Grand.

Not much, except possibly the number of participants and the (expected) amount of organizing done by the "host".

E.g. Mini-Do: "I'm meeting up for drinks with 2 FTers next week. Anyone want to join?"

Do: "I booked the private dining room at the Royal York and currently hold a res for 15 people. There will be a pre-fixe Christmas menu and xyz will be organizing a secret santa."

+1. I would like to meet a few more 'characters' from this forum as I have only been to one DO so far.

Hilarious and great suggestion.

For those who don't know, there are 4 locations in the YYZ area:
Atrium on Bay - across the street from the Eaton Centre
Yonge & Eglinton
Yorkdale Mall
Vaughan Mills

All are accessible on the TTC. Yorkdale is right on the 401 and the one with massive parking avails.

wow! didnt expect so many responses so quick..... How about the good old times Dec 12 - 23..... @ Pickle Barrel.

I will let you decide that date(s) will be best for you (assumes everything starts flex time between 5-7pm)

If memory serves me right preferred are usually Tuesdays and Thursdays approx 1 wk before Christmas. I can always yield price that period high :x

Just want to check is it confirmed to Dundas?
Not much parking over there vs Yorkdale - But I am okay with it if thats the choice.

Unless my memory is right there is a $6 or 10 special after 5pm at Eaton (Can someone confirm?)
