Meet and greet during gay days 2009

[fmelchor88]

My partner and I will be in the world celebrating our 15th year anniversary and would like to know if anyone would like to start up a meet and greet during the week? W:dance3: e will be there 06/01-06/07/09.

[OrlandoMike]

Congratulations on 15 years! :cool1:

[DVC~OKW~96]

Congratulations on being together for 15 years!!! A great celebration!!! :banana:

[fmelchor88]

Thanks everyone. Any ideas?

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

Congrats on 15 years! What kind of ideas are you looking for?

[OrlandoMike]

....a meet and greet! :thumbsup2

We have tried a group meet in the past, it just never really got off the ground. Why dont you use this thread to get the ball rolling for this year?

[fmelchor88]

Anyone want to start up a meet?:banana: :yay: :dance3:

[PeterPan09]

Well, I'm in the area so just tell me when and where. I'll drive on over! :drive:

[fmelchor88]

we are:confused3 up to anything. Since PI is no more. I have no idea. Any suggestions?

[fmelchor88]

Anyone??? Are there any more "Gays" going to gay days? we would really like to meet up and make some new friends.

[ConcKahuna]

Jellyrolls is fun, or maybe just meet in the park? Drinking Around the world last year with CanadianGuy, Invidious, Turkeygurl and her hubby was a blast last year!

since I took thurs, fri, and sat of gay days off, I think that's a great idea!

edit: I should also note kingbobofthenorth is in negotiations with the mouse to rent out a club and have Pea Pod spinning over gay days. I will keep everyone updated on that or you can visit savepleasureisland.blogspot.com

[fmelchor88]

Great let's get the ball rolling! Drinking around the world sounds great and I love a good dance party!party: :dancer: :dancer:

[R2D1]

My partner and I (and we assume, our friends joining us) are cool with joining the group.

:woohoo:

[fmelchor88]

R2D1, will you be there the entire week? Also how about drinking while we do the world showcase? I wonder how many countries I can do before I have had enough? :eek: :dance3: Where can we go and have drinks and do some dancing?

[ConcKahuna]

Atlantic Dance might work, or House of Blues on Sunday (sure to be extra gay that week).

Or maybe a few of us locals could load people into vehicles and head downtown.

If we could arrange for Sunday and do HOB, it would be perfect. It's on Disney property, smoke free, excellent mannequins style music, and as you said I'm sure it will be extra gay that week.

[fmelchor88]

I want to keep this near the top.. Any more ideas?

[R2D1]

Our travel party will be in town late 6/3 - 6/13.

Getting sloshed at World Showcase sounds like a grand idea! ...after I have recovered from puking on Mission Space, that is! (:worship: to the porcelain g*d)

I am so pissed that they shut down Pleasure Island, I'm not familiar enough with Orlando to know where all the cool spots are.

BTW, congrats on the 15 years, my partner and I just celebrated our 9th in January!

seems like the world showcase Idea is really sticking. I think that and House of Blues on Sunday night would be fantastic.

[rpmdfw]

Our Gay Days schedule is currently up in the air.

Between having to work and other scheduling conflicts for each of us, we may be hard pressed to even hit the Magic Kingdom.

I'll keep following your plans and if possible will join in.

I know you can count me out for drinking around the world that Sunday, though. I've got to work and it's inventory day. :headache:

[fmelchor88]

Hello folks, just back from our spring break trip. We got back last night:sad2: . We stayed at the Coronado and had a great time. That place was great! I am glad too see the thread is still going!:cheer2: I spoke to a friend of mine who has never been to the World. Imagine that? She will also be joining us for gay days. I see we have a few ideas. I still need to unpack so I will get back with everyone in a day or two.... We go from 85 sunny weather to 40's and rain here in Texas.:eek:

[fmelchor88]

Congrats R2DI on your 9 years! Another reason to celebrate.:dance3:

[fmelchor88]

Iam back. Anything new on the plans? I hear House of Blues is having big gay days blast on Thursday(06/04/09). Has anyone heard about this?

[ConcKahuna]

For some reason, nothing at all is listed on the HOB website for the entire month of June. :confused3

[fmelchor88]

On the one mighty weekend website for gay days has the official "Start up party:banana: " is at HOB on Thursday(6/4).

[fmelchor88]

Any more ideas? We only have 2 more months... Has anyone heard any more news about some of the old PI clubs be rented and open during gay days?

[OrlandoMike]

Last year we had pretty good results with a late afternoon meet at EPCOT on Sunday. :confused3

"Drinking around the world" :thumbsup2

[Sphyrna]

I'd definitely be up for a meet and greet!! :grouphug:

[R2D1]

Booze Booze Booze! :woohoo:

So, if that sounds good, what time are we looking at?

On personal special events: my partner and our travel companions are going to Wanda Sykes on Friday night and have reservations at the California Grille for the fireworks at Magic Kingdom on Saturday night.

What stuff do you guys/gals have planned aside from our boozing?

Point me at the bar, I drink! :rotfl:

Really though, I'm easy.

[Sphyrna]

Really though, I'm easy.

I wouldn't go advertising that! ;) :lmao:

[MonorailMan]

I wouldn't go advertising that! ;) :lmao:

D'oh! You beat me to it! ;)

[ConcKahuna]

I wouldn't go advertising that! ;) :lmao:

I've accepted that fact about myself. At least it keeps things interestin!

[Sphyrna]

Well then I'll definitely have to meet you when I'm staying at the Poly! ;) :rotfl:

[zulemara]

Any more ideas? We only have 2 more months... Has anyone heard any more news about some of the old PI clubs be rented and open during gay days?

This was in the plans for Kingbobofthenorth. He was renting soundstage with DJ pea pod coming in, but Disney turned around and said he can't sell tickets, Yet the AC is being rented in Sept and guess what? they are selling tickets!

The plan was to rent Motion over gay days on Fri and Sat nights, but if they won't let us sell tickets, that won't fly. Mannequins and 8-trax are completely torn apart. Disney apparently does not want a club atmosphere on PI. They would rather have lame entertainment that no one cares about

[fmelchor88]

This is sad news!:sad2: Ok folks we will need to make our own party. Any ideas?

[fmelchor88]

Anyone? It's getting closer?

[ConcKahuna]

Maybe we need a DVC member to rent out a grand villa that we can supply with lots of booze and music... :rolleyes1 :drinking:

[OrlandoMike]

Ohh how about a Tree House! pirate:

[wallyb]

Really though, I'm easy.

Wait... Then what am I ? :eek:

Glad to see Mr. Seagull back.:cloud9:

[jamieandben]

Wait... Then what am I ? :eek:

Yesterdays OLD news.;)

[wallyb]

Yesterdays OLD news.;)

Now that's just mean.
:sad2:

[Jaxpiper]

So this is our tentative schedule:...

Friday night: Atlantic Dance Co./Jellyrolls (we're staying at the Dolphin so this let's us crawl "home" :upsidedow)

Saturday: Magic Kingdom.....

Saturday night: no plans yet

Sunday: SLEEP LATE, then drink around the World Showcase starting around noon-ish.

We may also tack on Thursday; not sure yet....

[OrlandoMike]

See ya there! :thumbsup2

Anyone else?

A Dis meet?

[Sphyrna]

I'd be up for a DIS meet. I'm not a big drinker but plan to be at Epcot on Sunday.

[rpmdfw]

Dagnabit!

I have to work on Sunday! :headache:

[fmelchor88]

I leave on Sunday.... Can we change the day?:confused3

[ConcKahuna]

You just have to extend! :snooty:

:rotfl2:

[R2D1]

I think I heart these people!!!

:love:

[fmelchor88]

Cool site. Sorry I will miss it. I see the gathering is on the day I leave.:sad1:

[rbthntschl]

My dear friends,

This is repeating myself so please forgive me. Bruce and I are up Wed. night through to Monday, staying at Saratoga.

To Frank aka Melchor, Bruce and I have tickets for Cirque du Soleil for Friday at 6pm. We plan on eating at Wolfgang Puck Express afterward, roughly 7.30-8pm, long before the party starts hopping. You're welcome to join us with the added benefit of 10% off on our annual passes.

To Jaxpiper,

If you and your gang are going to be at Jellyrolls, we'll be there as well, right after dinner. What time were you planning to be there?

Luv 'n' Stuff,
Bob of

[fmelchor88]

Bob, thank you so much for the invite. I just sent you a PM.

[ConcKahuna]

Friday night at Jellyrolls/Atlantic Dance sounds like the best bet for the "official" meet, since that is the one night everyone will be there.

Everyone can PM cell phone numbers a week or so before hand (I vote we all do it Saturday the 23rd so we can get a more accurate head count), that way we can just filter over as we can instead of having to rush to get there at a certain time. :thumbsup2

[fmelchor88]

Ok folks here this what we look like at least we can put faces with names. I am on the left.http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/vv262/fm1969/scan0003.jpg

[fmelchor88]

Is everyone ready! We are counting the days. 13 days to go!:banana::dance3::yay:

[remlap]

Hi all. Here is our schedule.... We've done WDW many times, but this is our first time for the big party.

Sunday-Thursday - Disney Wonder anyone else sailing?
Thursday - Epcot
Friday - no plans, but Jellyrolls/Atlantic dance sounds like a fun
Saturday - MK
Sunday - Day perhaps waterpark
Sunday later after - fly back to left coast

Sorry I can't join the drink around the world. However, I have accomplished that feat and have the photographic evidence to memorialize it. (Do you know that the ground moves during IllumiNations after 11 drinks in one afternoon.)

[zulemara]

I plan on the welcome party at HOB on Thursday and pulse on Saturday. If you guys are doing Atlantic Dance, I'd be happy to go there on Friday. Hopefully there will be a DJ who is willing to play dance music.

As for Sunday, I am sure I will be scheduled, but I will give the shift away. Drink around the world, here I come!

[fmelchor88]

Zulemara We are going to be at HOB on Thursday night. Hope to meet up with you!

[fmelchor88]

Is everyone ready? HOB on Thursday night, ADH on Friday and Magic Kingdom during the day on Saturday. I think we are going to Motion on our last night.:yay:

[Sphyrna]
