[CamColt]

Wahhhh!!!! Once again this will be the day I return home from WDW. :(

[pam66]

Hi
What is this cape cod meet? Is this for members of the dis board? I live on the cape and just joined this board recently and seeing this post caught my eye. I have no clue what it is about so I just thought I'd ask
Thanks
Pam
:D

[paras4ri]

Sounds great.....we'll be there!

[goofy4tink]

Looks like a visit to the in-laws in Osterville will be n order. Should be fun.

[Mskanga]

Pam , some of us DISers get together once in the summer in Cape Cod, we call it Glo-Con because Glo is the one mainly organizing it. I'ts open to whoever wants to go so if you want to some over and meet some of us with your family or alone, you are more than welcome to do so. Everyone brings something.
Glo, count me in for this one, me and DD's will be there!

[TeresaNJ]

We're definitely going to try to be there. Thanks Glo for hosting it again this year. We had a great time when we came two years ago.

[yasuern]

Hi ,

I am planning to be in Marshfield this wknd visiting my sister and WOULD LOVE TO MEET YOU ALL! Count me in!
Not sure if it will be just me or the whole family though.

we make a great teryaki chicken wing and buffalo wing
or pasta salad or fruit pizza? Let me know what you guys want me to bring and I'll put the order into the chef of the house(DH) when the time comes.;)

[WebmasterAlex]

Since the official "big" meet is on sunday we will have the pre-meet here in Plymouth the afternoon/evening before. That should help the people travelling!
Pam.. the "cape cod meet" or glo-con... is one of the biggest of the dis meets.. for the last 2 years we have had over 60 people some travelling from as far as Michigan and Canada!
Glo hosted it 2 years ago with a pre-party at Amid Chao's house. It was at my place last year. This year we are going to join forces for what should be an Awesome party!!
Here are some pics from the meet 2 year ago...

[Boo'sMom]

Great pictures Alex...thanks
We're definately going to try to make this...I've been looking for an excuse to go to the cape....

[amid chaos]

Oh bum! Not sure about this weekend but it looks like bob (11) may be playing in a baseball tournament at the Wide World of Sports at WDW that weekend. We will know more by summer.

If not, we're there!

oh Alex....uh, thanks for the pictures, i think!

Pam, where on the cape are you? I'm in Falmouth and please come, we had so much fun!

[oldkicker]

Oooh!!! This is a pretty good looking date for us!

We'll be back from Colorado the weekend before.

I sure had a great time last time - would love to do it again!

Put us down as definite maybes! :)

[glo]

awesome Bernie...we would love to see you and everyone else :)

[Amzey]

Awww, I'll be on the Cape the whole summer but this will be right after I go back to New York. :(

[WebmasterBarry]

I don't think I can make this one. Besides, aren't the parks up North closing up then?

[SplshMtn99]

Barry, all we really have up here in MA is Six Flags in Agawam (Springfield) MA....and it's open till at least Halloween on weekends.

But.... my dad runs a charter fishing boat on the Cape. If there's a hurricane...we can always arrange a REAL FUN ADVENTUROUS RIDE for you. :teeth:

[Barb]

Glo, I'm not promising, but we're gonna try. :teeth:

[glo]

most parks up here do not close til mid Oct or so....

Will you be joining us SplahMnt?


Oh I have my fingers and toes all crossed Barb, would love to see you :)

[daughter_of_amid_chaos]

I'm so bummed I'm gonna miss it!!!
I'm already gonna be at school :-(

[SplshMtn99]

Not sure yet Glo.

But it's kinda funny that you & I will be driving all the way to Riddlecon. LOL

I'm sending you a PM.

[Mamu]

We should be able to make this date. Marking it down now. :)

[glo]

The more the merrier!!!!


Let's party!!!

[goofy4tink]

Thanks for the pictures Alex. Looks like my 9 y/o dd will fit right in! She is begging to go and meet some mini-dis'ers. Not sure I can talk dh into it. He tends to think we're all a little fanatic. Poor soul. Can't wait. I make a mean chocolate cake!!!

[TeresaNJ]

goofy4tink, try to talk your DH into it. My DH really enjoyed himself when we went two years ago. Once he's there he'll see everyone is just really nice, and not fanatics at all:rolleyes: .

[SeaSpray]

If we're not away that weekend, I'll be there! Probably just me this time though, DH and DSs had a nice time last year but I know they wouldn't want to go again.

[AnnMorin]

Boo! We are in yarmouth until the 30th :(
Oh well Alex we'll see you on the cruise in December.

[iluvdisney]

I'm still hoping to come too Glo - my calendar is getting a lot of dates booked up this year!

[spb999]

Hoping to be able to make it this year ... had a great time at Alex's last year .... fingers crossed that no conflicts come up:D

[glo]

Keep em coming the bigger the better :)

[paras4ri]

Our kids will be there too.......DS is 11 and DD is 8.......they're always up for a party!

[WebmasterAlex]

well if paras4ri is coming we will have to make sure everything is neat and orderly! They don't always stay that way once the jello shots come out :)

[paras4ri]

Don't believe everything you read in a tag Alex!!!! :p

BTW...DS really liked the pics of your house from last years meet.

[glo]

WHo is in charge of the Jello shots this year????

[WebmasterAlex]

OH lord....the most critical part of the entire operation!!!!!!!!!!!

[glo]

well, that and the cold beer don't you think???


Actually...it was a great family time...we had a pinata, the Alex's we had the pool :)

Much better than that mid west meet...The East Coast Rules :p

[pam66]

I had no idea how friendly these boards would be, if that makes any sense. I just though it was a place to give and get info...boy was I wrong LOL.
Anyway, I live right down the road from Falmouth in Cotuit and it sounds like fun. I'll have just returned from WDW then.

[glo]

If you know where Sea Coast Shore Drive is...then you can be there in minutes!!!!


I hope to see ya....

Don't let Alex scare you off :p

[WebmasterAlex]

We do have a pool! Here Glo and Chris C. Demonstrate the proper technique for jumping in with your clothes on!

[NurseKim]

I don't know about this year...with a newborn and all :eek:

[glo]

Lesson learned NEVER wear a white shirt to a DIS meet where there is a pool :p

Lesson too...never try to outrun someone whose legs sre twice the length of yours... :)

Last lesson...DIS meets are always an adventure :) :) :)

[glo]

Kim...we will all want to see the baby!!!

[jenny2]

You know I just might be able to convince DH to come with me. I couldn't make it to the previous meets... but if he won't, I bet pattyT would come with me. What do you say Patty? :D

Since everyone is talking about kids, I'm assuming kids are welcome, too??

And SplshMtn99 and glo... you are driving to Sandusky for Riddlecon? I've been thinking about it. Not sure if you checked this out but Amtrak is having reduced fares from Springfield to Sandusky... $87 round trip. Only problem is it gets into Sandusky at 2AM (ouch!).

Thanks, I'll check it out. But then we would need a rental car to get around. :confused: Hoping to do a few other things in the area besides Cedar Point & Riddlecon.
That does sound like a great rate though.

... We do tend to have fun here, Pam!!!! :teeth:

[pattyT]

;) WEll Jenny2 we WERE looking at going camping without the DH's in August at some time! We were talking the Beach - hmmmmmmmmm
If kids aren't a problem - (then again they haven't met our kids yet :eek: )

PattyT

[pattyT]

OH no - that is labor day weekend isn't it!:(

My annual 'crazy day' is on labor day weekend-

I'll have to wait and see what day by Buffet tickets are on first!

Can't miss Jimmy Buffet - sorry;)

Tickets go on sale in March so I will know by the end of the month! If we get Sat tix then we could go down Sunday (assuming I'm not in as bad condition as I was last year - I can't keep up - I said this year I am going to tie 2 bottles of water to every bottle of smirnoff - then make myself drink the h2o before I can get another bottle! think htat'll work?)
:rolleyes:

[glo]

I hope you can make it Patty... :)

[Mskanga]

I know one thing....I"m bringing extra clothes for ANY meets that may come along that weekend!! LOL.

[jenny2]

Oh yes, that is Labor Day weekend... I forgot pattyT :) Well, we'll see what we can do :D

[glo]

Good idea Olga...;)

Hope to see you Jenny :) :)

[glo]

:smooth: :smooth: :smooth: :smooth: :smooth:

[Snowwark]

On your mark...(Labour Day Weekend)

Get set...(to drive or fly)

Dive! Dive! Dive!

Get the party started.....:jester:

:)

[Patrick IL.]

Bouncing for my buddies out east :)

[FergieTCat]

I just might make it this year.

[s&k'smom]

Wow we'll try but not sure. But keep me posted.

[Beth E. (NJ)]

I just let DH know about this. We are marking it on the calendar!

Had a great time last year at the meet at Alex's house. Can't wait to see everyone again. :D

[glo]

That is great FergieTcat and Beth...I look forward to having you guys there!!!!


If you guys are coming make sure you book rooms if you need them soon :)

[amid chaos]

A great picture, Snowwark.

You gained the affection of every kid there by throwing in Canadian coins in the pool for them to dive for.

If I recall you even got invited to the kids end of the table for breakfast!

[glo]

even I wanted some of those coins ;) that's why I jumped in...yup that is what I am sticking too ;)

Are you coming to visit Kim?

[debster812]

ACK! Labor Day weekend is already booked up for us! :(

I have Buffet tix for Thurs and Sat :teeth:. And then on Sunday we are meeting up with my folks for a few days of sailing on the Cape.

PattyT--Buffet tix go on sale on Saturday March 8th. Good Luck!!!

[pattyT]

Debster812 -
Not to worry!
I have been two years in a row and we always get tix!
WE actually take a bus - you know all those people on the jersey barriers in front of a purple bus? Thats us! :rolleyes:
My husband doesn't understand why I want to go see that old guy -:eek:
I just haven't inquired as to what day we are going.


see a couple of Buffet pictures:

[debster812]

Patty--I'll have to try and find you. This will make my 10th yr.

sorry for the slight hijack Glo--but we are also doing our part keeping this bumped up! :teeth:

[glo]

LOL...hey O do not mind at all...:) WIsh I could go there and do this... :)

[paras4ri]

Maybe Patty could hijack Mr. Buffet in that purple bus and bring him to Glo's house!!!!

[glo]

Now thats a thought...what do you all think???

[anniet]

I think I want to go and meet some DIS people. If Buffet's there that's just a BONUS!

[GeorgeG]

This looks like a really good time. I'll have to see if I can talk my wife into it.

[pattyT]

YAhoo! I am on a mission...

:bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce:

[jenny2]

I've seen Patty the day after Buffet... I'm not sure it's worth it!!

:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

[pattyT]

HEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.......................



I know it is bad! Thank Goodness DH is very understanding and good to me that day!:p

[glo]

maybe the snow will be gone by then :p

[pattyT]

No kidding Glo!

sorry to hijack your thread for a while there:p

If we have SAT tix it will motivate me to stay semi-sober (or at least conciouse) so we can make it on Sunday;)

[pam66]

I am so done with all this snow!:rolleyes: I am more than ready for the weather to be warm and the drinks to be cold.

[Cthia]

I would like to be included in the Cape Cod meet.

I would love to meet some people for DIS. Hopefully someone will give me some info about it. We would drive down to the Cape, don't live to far from there.

I have a 8 year DD that would like to meet new friends and by the pictures there is quite a few children around her age.

So please count me in.

Cindy:bounce:

[paras4ri]

All right Cindy!

My DD is 8 too!

[anniet]

[Mackey Mouse]

This sounding like an extravaganza and one not to be missed... Hey.. where is my date from last year.. if he is game, I will make the drive..

[glo]

Cool Marsha make sure Joe makes it too :)

[Beth E. (NJ)]

Marsha and Joe, Alex and Glo? Well it does sound like it will be quite the happening meet.

Cthia and paras4ri my dd will be 8 by the date of the party too.

:D

[glo]

Beth, my girls will be 7 by then, and oldest 12 :)

It will be the hot spot this summer...not like that other meet out west :p

[paras4ri]

DS will be 11 1/2.....ouf course he doesn't think he belongs with the "kids" anymore.......:rolleyes:

It will be MUCH better than that midwest clambake!!!

[glo]

moving this over to the new and improved DIS Meets board :)

[ebaynut31]

I think I told someone I would be there but I went and booked my Disney Vacation from Aug 24 to Sep 1. Sorry I can't go. Some day I will get there.

[tmfranlk]

I would love the chance to meet fellow DISers. It looks like we may be moving back to Boston this summer. If so, then I will definitely try to be there.

[glo]

We would love to have ya :)
Let us know

[perfectmatch300]

I'm working on it. Two years ago we drove up for the day & that may be what we have to do this year, too. I'm going to start looking for a room now since it is a holiday weekend. I think we missed a lot of the fun by not staying over. Let me know if anyone finds out any good hotel prices.

[Snowwark]

I hope I can attend! :)

[WebmasterBarry]

Does anyone have any more photos of last year's Cape Cod meet? I'm trying to put together a Cape Cod meet flashback video for this year's. Please e-mail or PM me if you have any to share. Thanks!

This sounds like a blast....is this an RSVP? I'm in the Boston area so this wouldn't be too much of a hassel for me to drive down.

Steven

[glo]

Cool Steve...I hope we see you there...We will be posting more soon :)

[LUV4TINK]

I am going to do everything that I can to attend.
If I am unable to attend the all day event, maybe I will be
able to make one of the other events that weekend.
I would love to meet some other Disney Fanatics.
The people at work are really getting tired of indulging me. :)

Hope to see you there.

[mitcam]

I would love to come to this meet - I am just weeding through all the posts but only live about 2 hrs. (including traffic!) if there are other events, maybe I can stay at the Seacrest for the weekend! Please count me in!

me, DH, and 2 DS's (7 & 5)

I will keep looking for info!~

[WebmasterBarry]

The Cape Cod meet people need to honor a time-honored Cape Cod meet tradition...throw glo into the pool! :)

[glo]

:mad: :mad: :mad: NOT!!!!!

[TIGGERSMOM]

I am definitely gonna be there. Now to make ressies.

Can't wait to get back into a normal DIS rythm.

Can't wait to see some old friends.

[autochick]

count me in. I had so much fun at alex's last year. Maybe I can recruit one of my sisters to go with me.

[Mackey Mouse]

Hey Autochick.. anyone we know?? I mean the sister of course.. ;) :)

[autochick]

Well I am going to try to talk Holly into going. If she cant go I will try to get Andrea. She is the one that is getting married in Disney December 2004.

[Disney1fan2002]

Webmastr Alex, what is the Pre-meet in Plymouth about? I live in Plymouth. I don't know if I can make it to the Cape that day, but if htere is going to be a meet in Plymouth, I would love to say Hi!

[tink30]

Where do people stay? Is the biggest meet at Glo's house on Sat? Is it a picnic or something? How many days does it go on for? Did I ask enough questions?? LOL...Sorry about that. It sounds like alot of fun. I just came back on the boards but I'd love to go, so I'm trying to find out some info. Talk about last minute...Hope someone checks this thread :) Thanks!!!

[WebmasterAlex]

Hey Tink 30,
A lot of your questions are answered in this thread:

the other cape meet thread (http://disboards.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=397661)

It starts on saturday afternoon at my place and then on sunday the action shift's to Glo's for the main meet. Sometimes we get together for breakfast if the hangover's aren't too bad :)

[tink30]

Hi Alex,
Thanks! We are going to come!1 :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: I'm so excited. Can you possibly tell me directions to your place from US 44, 3 miles east of I-495 or 14 miles west of Highway 3. That's the KOA campground we are staying at...Lot cheaper than a motel, they still have a few cabins left if you want to put the word out at all :) About how many people are coming? Talk to you soon...

[WebmasterAlex]
