2003 WDW Mousefest & DIS Meets information including links to sign up threads.

[RaySharpton]

Except for Deb Wills of AllEarsNet (formally WDWIG), I don't really know anyone from the other discussion groups like R.A.D.P., or Passporter, or OurLaughingPlace or the others.

All of the Disney fans and Disney friends that I know are from the www.DISboards.com .

But I think that I will plan any DIS meets at WDW this December around the huge 2003 Mousefest at WDW planned this December 4-8. A good chance to make many new friends.

I won't be able to make the cruise (although I really would like to go someday). But I would like to meet many people at the WDW land events.

Here is a link if you would like to know what I'm talking about:

www.wdwig.com/mousefest.htm

I've already signed up for Deb Wills' AK Safari meet and Deb Wills' AK trivia meet(now called "special All Ears Subscriber Meet"), and PassPorter's AK treasure hunt, and the DIS's(figmentvi) MVMCP, and other meets.

A nice lady from the RADP, Amanda, is planning an Epcot Mission to Mars meet which I would like to go to.

Of course, you know all the DIS meets like last year that I would like to go to, but I'm going to wait and plan around them.

It seems that this 2003 Mousefest to be held this December 4-8 in WDW is compiled and planned by a group of Disney loving people and a group of Disney loving websites, and discussion boards.

Since the DIS has not announced a 2003 DIS-CON-III this year, I thought that those of us going in December may be interested in going to 2003 Mousefest land events this December 4-8.

And maybe we can plan some other DIS meets before and after 2003 Mousefest official dates.

I haven't decided to host any DIS-meets yet, but I have several in mind. I don't know if I'm brave enough to host a 2003 Mousefest meet. Believe it or not, I am sorta shy about such things. But I'm not shy about wearing my new DIS limegreen pin from DISshopper (click here for a picture). (http://www.disshop.com/product.asp?3=123) I will also be wearing my great limegreen pin that Towncrier made for me and that he gave to several hundred other people last year. Thank you John.

Anyone else thinking about participating?

I think that I may start listing the DIS-meets and Mousefest meets on the 5th post below that I want to go to.

And maybe some ideas for other DIS-meets on the post after that.

It's never to early to plan a DIS-meet.

Anyone else interested?

2nd Post : 2003 announced WDW December events and times in the color red, and list of 2002 December events and times from my WDW's 2002 December "World Update" brochure that I picked up at the WDW parks last year to help you plan until the current events and times are annouced in the blue color.

5th Post : 2003 WDW Mousefest, AllEarsNet.com(formally WDWIG), Passporter.com, OurLaughingPlace.com, individual DIS Meets information with links to each website's itinerary and each DISer's sign-up thread and information, An my own personal itinerary.

Well, the first dates' and times' announcements have come out for the year 2003. I'll add them here in the color RED to differentiate the different year, 2003, this year, from my last year's WDW 2002 World Update brochures.


(Anounced on November 24, 2003 by AllEarsNet) The December 19, 2003, Friday, MVMCP is SOLD OUT.

WDW added Wednesday night Wishes fireworks for the first three weeks of December on 11/17/03, but still none before MVMCP starting times at 6:00 P.M..

(October 20, 2003) Click here for the December 2003 WDW park, parade, and fireworks days and hour from Themeparks. It looks like the first three weeks that Spectromagic will be held on Monday and Saturday, and WISHes on non-MVMCP days. (http://www.themeparks.com/wdw/calendar/december.htm)

[Towncrier]

I had the distinct pleasure of meeting some of the RADPers after DIScon 2002. I even have a refrigerator magnet from their Adventurer Club meet (even though I was halfway home when the actual event occurred). If I am able to make the trip to WDW this December, I hope to participate in some of their informal events. The RADPers have a booklet that lists the time and place of all the planned events along with the person in charge. DW Sue has already mentioned that last year's 12 day solo trip to WDW in December was a bit "much" and that I should not plan on doing that again anytime soon. But she's not opposed to a weekend trip, so there's a glimmer of hope that I might make it down to Florida in December.

[Towncrier]

Looks like I'm a "Space" Invader. :teeth:

[WebmasterBarry]

Could be a plan. I wonder if the DIS can play some sort of part in Mouse Fest. I guess I'll be suckered into editing a video for Mouse Fest. :)

[perfectmatch300]

Ahh, Ray, sounds like you are in commando mode again!

I like your idea of coordinating with Mouse Fest since I doubt there will be a DIS-CON this year. I don't know yet what we will be able to do this year. It will have to be planned around our move to the Orlando area. You know we'll be there if there's any possible way!

[NancyIL]

Ray - thanks for that great info! I'll be at the Swan Nov. 30-Dec. 8 with some non-DIS friends, but we might participate in some of the meets.

[Dan Murphy]

I have been invited by several folks to various Mousefest happenings and am looking forward to it just like the DIS-Con's of the past two years. Much of it is informal, just hanging and chilling out together.

[Jdubbs]

Hey Ray theres a good chance I will be down that week..Im trying to get the plans in motion here..Hope to see you again!!

[Scottwdw]

I'll be there from Dec 4 - 8 this year. I've been invited to a couple of WDW webmaster events (oh, sounds important :) ) but would love a DISmeet for all of us to get together.

[Jdubbs]

Just made ressie's today at Boardwalk from Nov 29 - Dec 5.

Hope to see all of you again.

Hey Ray - start working on those mini-meets.

[SCDizneyDawn]

We are going a week later this year, arriving Dec 6th. I am hopping for a DIS meet DATW for that weekend, either the 6th or preferably on the 7th. I know that Mousefest is going to be in Epcot on the 6th, so the 7th might be better! We will not be leaving until the 13, so any other meets that fall during our week I would be intrested in also!!

[RaySharpton]

Hello, everyone. I get so excited with planning a trip to WDW.

I will transfer the "2002"park hour times from my other thread onto the second post of this thread.

And maybe start a "very tentative" list of meets that I might go to this year.

The 2003 Mousefest have avery tenative list of meets already and they said that it could change frequently.

This year, I don't really want to lock in a special day or time "too early" for any meet. So all the meets that I list are just going to be possible meets. I want to leave everthing more open and informal this year so that I don't miss anything.

Of course...I know that I will have to make a decision on buying and making priority seatings for the Epcot Candlelight Processional package...

....and for Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party with an in the park priority seating dinner before the opening of MVMCP....

....and maybe a MGM Fantasmic dinner package followed with a tour of the Osborne Spectacle of Lights...

....and maybe an Epcot priority seating dinner, followed by a Drink Around The World (hopefully led by our previous fearless leaders) and ending with Illuminations fireworks show and maybe followed with a Pleasure Island Adventurer's Club meet led by Towncrier...

....maybe a ~6:00 P.M. Wilderness Campground Hoop-Dee-Doo Muscical Review dinner followed with a campfire, marshmellow roasting, and WDW cartoon, followed with a quiet walk to the lake to watch the Electrical Lake Parade thingie....

....maybe an Animal Kingdom Lion King show meet where we can show everyone how good we can make animal noises in our section, and maybe an end of the day get wet, Kali Rivers ride....

....and definitely a Magic Kingdom Spectromagic Parade and Fantasy in the Sky fireworks meet....

Did I say hello everyone?

Hi, Towncrier...that's O.K., you are a quick poster. You can take my space anytime.

Hi, Barry...I'm sure that I will see you with your famous camera.

Hi, perfectmatch300...good luck on yor home hunting.

Hi, Nancy...you're welcome and I can't wait to see you again.

Hi, Dan...that's great news. Which meets were you thinking about going to. I hear that Passporter is thinking about doing a CP meet on Saturday, 12/05/03...are you going to that?

Hi, jdubbs...that's great news. I'll see you down there...and I'll try to put some very "tentative" meets up on the third post of this thread. I really don't want to put down a "definite" date just in case things change.

Hi, Scott... I would love to meet you again.

Hi, SCDisneydawn...I can't wait, I'll be down there then, too.

Ray

[Mackey Mouse]

OH Ray... it is so sweet of you to do this for all of us...........and I am sure it will be done incredibly as you are so detailed oriented, we are so lucky to have you to do this..

I am hoping to be down there at that time....we are in the process of moving so things are rather hectic here... but I will be watching as you move forward and organize us all.. Thanks again.. :)

[Crissup]

I saw that Mousefest is being held that week. CarolAnnK and I will be there from 11/26-12/6. I don't like to plan ahead or sign up for events because then I feel obligated to watch the clock (main reason we didn't do DIS-Con, even though we were there at the same time). However, if we find ourselves in the right area on any specific day, we just might swing by and say "Yo"!

I met Deb Wills a few years back when I kept running across the RADP meet during my vacation. Deb really is an extremely wonderful person and a real joy to chat with. I do hope that we run across her again this trip. It would be great to meet up with you again also Ray!! :)

[Mackey Mouse]

How cool is this.. we are all going to be there at the same time.. I feel a meet to Kimono's in the works.... Keep us posted Ray... :)

[CDoobee]

Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to make it down there this year. :( But, I just had to say Hi to you Ray! HI, SWEETIE!!!!

And hello to all the rest of you, too! I'm REALLY gonna miss not being down there to see you all again.:(

Debbie

[one_cat]

We'll be at WDW from 12/4 - 12/11 with the family. We should be able to tear away for a couple of dis meets. That would be fun.

[CarolA]

Ray I just busted out laughing when I saw your first post on this thread. You are quite the organizer.

I do believe you when you say you are shy about hosting. I was terrified to host the Krispy Kreme meet last year.

I went to one RAPD meet in December a few years ago. My problem posting there is that it is not moderated and I got some HORRIBLE emails as a result so now I just occassionally lurk.

Are they having the scavenger hunt this year? That might be fun.

[RaySharpton]

Hello, Mackey Mouse. Thank you, and I hope that you and your "DTWHBNITPRS" (Dear Tiara Wearing Husband But Not In The Public Restroom Stall) can come, too. I'll try to list some things as time goes by. I'll definitely list the new 2003 times, dates as they come out to help everyone with planning. And Kimonos Karaoke would be fun.

Hello, Crissup. That would be great to see you again. But for the life of me I can't remember what you blook like. I'm terrible with names and faces, but I do remember your name. And I completely agree with you about signing up for meets. I hope to list a bunch of meets as other DISers become more interested and post their own thread with a DIS meet interest. There are some DIS meets that require advance payment like te Epcot Candlelight Processional package. But MVMCP you can get your own tickets anytime andmaybe just
meet if the time and place is right. And sometimes priority seatings for groups can be a problem if they fill up. But there are so many things that we can do without signing up, like riding different rides like ToT, RnRC, Splash mountain, IASW, etc., or watching parades, shows, fireworks,etc.

Hello, one_cat. You'll have a great time.

Hello, Carol. The only reason I got up on stage at HDDMR was that I was among friends. I would never do that by myself. I did make a very ugly angel, didn't I?

Ray

[Mackey Mouse]

Hey thanks Ray... I saw those pics and I think you were a precious angel....I need to make reservations but have to get through the major move we are doing........Moving out of the family home to Cape Cod and taking an apartment in Boston.. but once that is over, I say I am in for the planning.. Tommy too minus his tiara.....teehee

[helenabear]

Ray, you made for a wonderful angel!!! So fitting for you anyway :) As I said on another thread of yours, I have every intention of being down there at that time. I am already booked at the Swan (found a great rate) and I'd be interested in a meet or two with you all or with the RAPD. I must say, I got "scared away" there so I haven't been there in a long time, but I am always looking to meet with people and have fun :)

[dudlee930]

my name is Derinda we have never been to a dismeet in wdw,but have been to 3 or 4 in Boise. my family will be in wdw from thanksgiving night through Dec.13 looking forward to meeting new faces. staying at wilderness lodge villas and boardwalk the second week.

[NancyIL]

Gee - I'm only a MONTH late to notice that MVMCP dates are already out! Any tentative group plans to attend the party, Ray?

[Carl]

Thanks for posting this information. I don't visit the other boards often. I was hoping to meet some DISers this December, but (as you know if you read my post after my May visit) I would NEVER plan another DIS meet on my own.

[CarolA]

Bump back to page one. Since I know so many people will be there in December (NOT that I have booked my trip yet LOL!)

[DebWills]

Hello everyone!

How delightful to see that you already have a thread on MouseFest 2003 events. Even more wonderful is that the DIS community plans to participate!

Today I have posted information about the event on a few boards here at DIS (thank you Pete) and look forward to meeting many of you!

Any questions about the event, let me know.

Deb Wills

[RaySharpton]

Thank you, Ms. Deb Wills. It's great to see you posting here. I can't wait for Mousefest. I guess that I'll have to start my itinerary...lol!

Hi, CarolA. I can't wait to see you again.

Hi, Carl. I know what you mean...lol.

Hi, NancyIL. I haven't heard anyone really plan a meeting for MVMCP, yet. I've seen a lot of individuals that I don't know post about buying MVMCP tickets on the Themeparks board.

Hi, dudlee930. You picked the perfect time to go and meet a lot off Disney folks. Right o one has really picked a certain DIS day to meet. I'm going to wait and plan around the Mousefest meets, first. I already signed up for Ms. Deb Wills' AK Safari meet, and the Passporter Scavenger hunt. As time gets closer and people get an idea of what they want to do, you'll see a lot more posting about DIS meets, too. Since there is no DIS-CON-III this year, there is no central itinerary to plan aronud. But when interest picks up, you can just pick and choose what you would like to do. I hope to meet yo, too.

Hi, helenabear. The RAPD is not a moderated board like the DIS as you know. I'll be going to Deb Wills' AK Safari meet and Passporter's AK Scavenger Hunt. But I hope that a lot of DISers will get together and do a MVMCP, Candlelight Processional, character meal, and various park ride meets in addition to Mousefest. Maybe as time gets closer we can plan some of those.

God bless you, best wishes, and encouragement, RaySharpton:)

Ray, just to let you know, right now I'm leaning towards Thursday, Dec. 4th for MVMCP.

[Jdubbs]

Hi Ray..I will build up my itinarary around you..Whatever you say,Myself and Tanya will join you..Hope many will join us also..

[RaySharpton]

Hi, Nancy. Thanks. You're the only one that I know from last year that has already set a date for MVMCP. I haven't decided yet, but I'll keep that date in mind.

Hi, Jdubbs. It will be great to see you and your family again. Do you think that we can get Brisully to start another fishing trip inside Epcot, again? And I've started my itineary on page one about 4-posts down. I've just started some tentative meets on December 5th with the www.wdwig.com and www.passporter.com groups. I'm still waiting for the Candlelight Processional narrator names to come out. Please remember, that my choices are only tentative now. And they may change with time and circumstance.

God bless you, best wishes,and encouragement, RaySharpton:)

[iluvdisney]

Hi Ray - I'm going to be down there Dec 3-12 and don't really have any plans set yet. Just want to enjoy and take in the Christmas decor - I luv it!!! My sis won't be coming with me this year as she will be waiting for a new arrival in her home - her first grandchild! I will be doing at least one MVMCP but not sure of the date yet. Hope to run into you!

[NancyIL]

Ray - I haven't purchased my MVMCP tickets yet, so Dec. 4th is still tentative. I know a lot of folks went on the Sunday DIS-CON ended the past two years, but as of now, I don't think there's a party scheduled for that night. In any event, I plan to do the Illuminations Cruise on Sunday, Dec. 7th with the MouseFest folks.

The Candlelight Processional packages will be available to book long before the narrators are announced. Right now I'm leaning towards Saturday night (Dec. 6th) for that.

[Scottwdw]

Talked with DW and DD last night. We'll be doing MVMCP on December 4th.

I'll probably be going to the Friday night, December 5th, Mousefest meet at the Adventurer's Club. Last time I went down it was closed for a private party. :mad:

Saturday, December 6th, I'll be at Mousefest events all day. The evening is open at this time. Possibly a CP Dinner package.

[figmentvi]

Well I've been thinking and thinking about this and I really, really want to go. DD Holly has informed me about a great deal for members of the military (her DH is in the Army) and asked me to join them on a trip to WDW during the first week in Dec.

I'm just trying to justify the expense and convince DH that he HAS to let me go. ;) ;)

So I'll keep my fingers crossed on this.

Linda

[Jdubbs]

Hope you can make it Linda.. I think you owe me a dinner from the last time:smooth: :smooth:

[JamesD]

Hi again, Ray!
Don't see our names on your list, so I thought I would let you know that Linda and I will be staying at the Beach Club Villas from Dec. 1-8, 2003. We are leaning toward going to MVMCP on Tue., Dec. 2nd. As I've already told you, I plan on participating in some of the passporter.com meets, especially the WWTBAM on Thur. afternoon, Dec.4. We will probably try to take in a couple of shows in the 2-4 pm time frame. Of course by that time in the week, I will have already played a dozen times!! ;)
P.S. In the bad news department, rumor has it there will be no Osborne Christmas lights this year! :(
Keep up the good work, Ray!

[figmentvi]

LOL John, I believe I do !!! And let's hope this time you're not a sick puppy !!!!

Linda

[figmentvi]

I'm bumping this up because it's looking more and more like I'll be able to do this :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc

We got a great overflow rate from SOG for the Poly, checking in 12/3 and checking out 12/8. I'll be sharing a room with Holly and her family to help cut down on costs and her DH Tim (bless his heart) will be getting us the cheapo military tickets.

So I still need to convince DH that I MUST GO TO WDW, but that may be an easier task soon.

Linda

[NancyIL]

Linda, it will be great to see you and Holly again! :)

I bought my MVMCP tickets for Thursday, Dec. 4th. :teeth:

[RaySharpton]

I've added the rest of your DIS names to the December list.

And I added the 2003 dates that each of the resorts that are going to be decorated in November. Dreams Unlimited gave me these dates.

I can't wait to see who wil be te narrators for the Epcot Candlelight Processional.

And I am so sad that MGM has pretty much decided not to set up the Osborne Family Spectacle of Lights this year, since there is news that they are already ripping up the backlot street to built a future attraction. Rumors say they may set the lights up along that New York Street area at MGM.

I haven't bought my MVMCP or CP tickets yet. I'm sorta waiting to see what PassPorter and AllEars and others are planning for Mousefest.

I sure do miss my friends who helped plan so many DISmeets the last two years. I miss that giggling cheerleader, Tia. And that great coordinator and water splasher wet shoulder crier, Barb-for-Real. And the person that got me on the MK Dumbo ride for the very first time and special, spectacular, kid smiling Dumbo hat, Dayna, DumboOrBust. And Patrick and Steve. I can't even remember their DIS names anymore. I can't even remember that sweet young angelic singer from Norway or was it Sweden. I just can't remember.

I do know that I miss them so much.

They would have planned and hosted and organized so any DIS meets by now.

Tia with her Magic Kingdom Fantasyland Decorative Hat DIS meet, and her Big Dog Laughfest(she called it something else, but I can't mention it here.)

Dayna, DumboOrBust with her MK Dumbo Ride DIS meet and her most stunning Dumbo hat.

Barb-for-real with all her organizing the different DIS meets, a GF Tea and Spash Mountain DIS meet(where she splahed me and caused a 45-minute stop from getting her log stuck, and I can't remember the others. But I do remember my soaking wet shoulder from her crying during the Epcot Candlelight Processional.

AndSteve, disneycub, and his most excellent Candlelight Processional and dinner at Japan DIS meet.

And Patrick and the great Wilderness Lodge Whispering Cafe Dinner and Resort Holiday Tour, and Hoop-Dee-Doo Muscical Review DIS meets. And his outstanding list of DIS meets for DIS-Con.

I can't remember the others. I may be big as an elephant,but I sure don't have a good memory.

I really do miss all their planning and ideas, and organizing.

I wish that they would come back to the DIS. It would be a much more magical place for me. (sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)/

Ray

[helenabear]

Oh wow, Ray! I just came and looked at this thread again for updates since I did a little planning on this trip last night and WOW!!!! You are so organized... truly amazing. I too have my ticket to MVMCP for the 4th. That looked like the best date for me to go.

Your last post though made me smile and feel sad all at once. I lurk a lot and even though I didn't get in on those conversations on teh boards they were so much fun to read... I miss them too...

Here's a big {{hug}} for being the sweetie you are :)

[NancyIL]

Awwww, Ray.....{{{{{hugs}}}} Sandra with the angelic voice is from Belgium. :) Barb still posts on the DIS, but mostly on the DVC board, from what I can tell. I haven't seen hide nor hair of the others. I miss them, too.

Oh boy, Elaine...another one for MVMCP on the 4th! :teeth:

[Towncrier]

A lot of them are still on my "buddies" list. I saw disneycub online briefly yesterday. I've seen Barb and her DH twice this summer. Even though a lot of our friends are no longer posting on the DIS, I'm fairly certain that a few of them will be in WDW this December. I still don't know whether or not I'll be able to make the trip again this year. My DW Sue seems to think that it's a done deal. Perhaps she knows me better than I know myself.

[helenabear]

Nancy, Dan told me he got a ticket for that night as well :teeth:

So John... what dates are you looking at to come ;)

[figmentvi]

Looks like myself, Holly and her family will be going to MVMCP on Dec. 4th as well. :bounce: :bounce:

[Towncrier]

Don't know about dates yet Elaine. I know that I have to be there from the 4th through the 8th in order to participate in MouseFest. One of my goals is to finally meet Deb Wills face to face. I was really close last year, but the weather scared her away from her own RADPmeet.

Are you looking to carpool to WDW???

[helenabear]

Yay Linda! Hopefully we can all catch up there that night :)

John, I plan on making this my "big trip" to WDW so I think I will be there the 1st through the 7th... at least that is what my ressies at the Swan currently say. Otherwise I'd love to carpool... I did find decent air for about $225 r/t non-stop on Delta so I might jump on that sometime soon.

[NancyIL]

Elaine - both ATA and Southwest have non-stops from Indy for $131.50 in December! How inconvenient would that be for you?

[helenabear]

Thanks for that FYI Nancy... unfortunately Indy is about 2.5 hours away for me so that would make it very inconvenient... plus their flight times available at those prices would cut my trip short by nearly 2 days. I am still watching and looking around a little. I admit Delta has great times for me to fly out so that Luis can drive me to and from the airport (save some $$ that way) w/o cutting into his work schedule or my WDW time much at all :)

[RaySharpton]

Hi, everyone! Well, I may just have to go on Thursday, December 4th, 2003, too.

Passporter is planning a MGM Who Want's To Be A Millionare Passporter meet at around 2:00 P.M. They haven't officially listed it yet, since this may be the day that they get back from their Mousefest cruise.

Maybe, they will decide to all do MVMCP that night, too.

[Scottwdw]

You can put my family for the December 4th MVMCP too, Ray. Ordered the tickets today. There will be my DW, DD and myself. See you all there! :teeth:

[NancyIL]

Not to beat a dead horse, but...you can even fly to Orlando from Indy on ATA the Sunday after Thanksgiving (Nov. 30th, 9:30 - 11:38 a.m.) and return on Dec. 7th (12:28 -2:50 p.m.) for $131.50. That might make the 2-1/2 hour drive worthwhile.

[helenabear]

Well Ray, you are always welcome to join us for MVMCP if you like no matter what :) And it is nice to see that others will be around too!

Nancy, you are so sweet to look out for me (and always others when you do) like that :) Unfortunately the only time I could leave on Sunday makes the flight more expensive with ATA and nothing good on Southwest. My family will be in town that weekend and I don't want to leave until they do which is why I am cutting a day off my trip.... I really do appreciate it though. I am just fare watching right now and I also need to wait and see if there are frequent flyer miles to be used. I alos have two vouchers with Northwest I could use if their times are decent for me.

[Towncrier]

I ordered my ticket for the 12/4 MVMCP yesterday. I'm still not certain about my plans for December, but at least I have a ticket for that event just in case there that day. I also purchased an Annual Pass voucher from the local Disney Store. I guess my wife was right when she predicted a trip to Florida in December.

[NancyIL]

Elaine - I hope fares will drop between now and early December. I made my FF reservation on AA in April, but I'm leaving Thanksgiving Day and returning Dec. 8th. Good thing I did it then, as now there's practically nothing available using miles that day!

John - woohoo!!!! :teeth:

[helenabear]

I'm not too worried about it yet, Nancy. I was budgeting for about $250-275 for my prime non-stop flights. They seem to be about the same as last year. Last year I used FF miles with NW and we had to use double to get me out on the Sunday after thanksgiving. I'd rather pay for air than do that again.

John, nice to see you are joining us :teeth:

[figmentvi]

Woohooo John !!!!! It'll be great to see ya kiddo !!!

Of course I'll probably see you in Sept., but seeing you in WDW again will be COOL !!!

[Dan Murphy]

HI folks. Yes, have my MVMCP for the 4th and airfare for 11/30-12/10. Looking forward to seeing lots of people. And Ray, I miss so many who are gone also, but as Johnsaid, many are planning on the early Dec time trip. :)

[Jdubbs]

You can add myself,Tanya and Meghan to the MVCP on Dec. 4th.Cant wait to see everyone again...

[helenabear]

Well, it looks like I should be at WDW another day... I just changed my ressies and now I'll be there 12/1-12/8. That actually made my air drop a little too :teeth:

[Towncrier]

I've just about made my mind up to be at WDW from 11/30 until 12/9, but I waited a bit too long to get the $20.03 deal at the Marriott in Downtown Disney. Drat. I may give priceline a try.

[Jdubbs]

Way to put your foot down John by telling your wife you were coming down....see you there.. Looking forward to meeting you Elaine..

[Towncrier]

Actually John, it's the other way around. She put her foot down and told me to go. :earseek:

[helenabear]

Somehow I am not shocked to hear that one at all... good luck finding a good rate somewhere John! Hopefully good AP rates will be out long before then.

Wow, two Johns I am talking to here... to the other John, we actually did meet last year, but I believe you were rather ill that night. I was at dinner at Chef Mickey's before MVMCP last year... so I hope this year when we meet no one will be sick at all :)

[dudlee930]

my family wii be there from nov.27 till dec.13 hope to meet some dis people. has anyone heard if Tia is coming during this time? looking forward to meeting everyone Derinda

[figmentvi]

Hi Derinda......We haven't seen hide nor hair of Tia, so we don't know if she will be in WDW in Dec. or not.

Jdubbs John.....I'm so glad that you and Tanya and Meghan are going to MVMCP on the 4th !!!

Are we all going to try for CP for dinner??????

I'll volunteer to be the ringleader again this year if you all are agreeable. Of course with the change in PS policy, who knows what will be up with trying to book a large group.

Ummm......I guess we should "index" this as an official meet, huh?

Tia is planning on being there during that time. :)

And CP sounds good, Linda, like the big group we had two years ago. Chef Mickey's was fun last year. :teeth:

[RaySharpton]

Thanks for doing this, Linda.

O.K....now we need to plan something similar for a night at te MGM Fantasmic show.

And for Epcot's Candlelight Processional package.

And for Animal Kingdom's The Lion King show.

And will someone please tell "ALLLLLLLL those COMMANDOSSSSSSS" to please come back. I miss them sssssssssooooooooooo much.

I want to ride the MK Dumbo ride with Dayna(DumboOrBust) and her special Dumbo hat. I want to show Tia(luvdsny) my new lime-green "BIG DOGS" and listen to her giggle; and I want to be splashed and wreck a log on Splash Mountain by Barb-for-real(Barb); and see Steve lose and catch this time his Mickey Santa hat on Splash Mountain and throw those baseballs at It's A Small World ride; and to listen carefully for Frank(lowellsdad) to say anything; I'll even volunteer to get on stage again as an very ugly angel at Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Review if Patick(Patinmn), Sandra(Sandra B.), Leanne(Taryn), Jody(pumbaa_), Livia(BelleMom), Tammy(tammyh-oregan), Geri(fostrmom2mny), Norma(dcv_bwv), Corrinne(Smee), and Shannon(bashful64).

Hi Ray, well it look's like Thursday night is shaping up nicely!
I've got an update on the WWTBAM meet on Thur. afternoon. Please change the time to 1-3 pm. This should give you more time to get to dinner and the party! Also, please add Joe Carioca from the Passporter board as a host.
Thanks, and keep up the good work!

[RaySharpton]

Thank you everyone for the information. I updated every ones dates at WDW.

I'm sorry that you didn't get the $20.03 special at Courtyard by Marriott, John. My offer to you is still open.

Thank you, figmentvi for hosting the Thursday, December 4th MK Crystal Palace restaurant before MVMCP.

If some of you want to, can we take a MVMCP goup picture like two years ago. I missed last year.

And I sure would like to buy one of those Splash Mountain pictures as a group going down the water slide.

And Dan, where was that perfect place to watch the MVMCP fireworks last year. Can we do that this year.

And James, I changed the WWTBAM Passporter meet's time and added Joe Carioca's name with your name.

You know what else that I would like to do as a group? To go to MGM's Fantasmic show.

And to Epcot's Candlelight Processional dinner package.

And to Animal Kingdom's The Lion King Show.

What else would you guys like to do?

[Pumbaa_]

Hi Ray, so glad to see you are in the thick of things with your planning! I am sorry I won't be seeing you this year, I won't be going down in Dec. It is just too hard to go away that time of year for me, so my Dec trips are a thing of the past.

Have fun and looking forward to hearing all about the fun y'all have! :)

[luvdsny]

Hi Ray. :) As Jody said, I'm happy to see you in 'command'. ;)

:::adding to itinerary: Make plans to see Ray's Big Dogs. ;) :::

[poopie]

I have to see, maybe we should make it a meet.

See the big dogs and either ride something or eat something.

[RaySharpton]

Hi, Jody, Tia, and poople!!!

I'm sorry that you can't come Jody. I'll miss seeing you this year.

Tia...Tia...Tia...I knew that "Big Dog" story might get you to post...lol. And I was just kidding. I just always laugh out loud when I think about you, and Barb, and Sandra and me laughing about my big dogs.

It was two years ago, at DIS-Con-I, at Epcot, before and during Illuminations near the bridge near France. I'll never forget you giggling and turning red faced. And Barb and Sandra laughing so hard and loud that their faces were turning red and they were crying tears of laughter...ROTFLOL!!!!!!!!

I thought that I was wearing "lime-green"...remember.

And you guys didn't believe me...lol.

So, I showed you just my waist band...that's all...lol.

But with my fat stomach, I couldn't really see what you were laughing at....ROTFLOL.

They were basketball orange color.

But that wasn't what you were laughing at was it?

I guess that you have never seen "Big Dog" waist bands on boxers before...lol.

This must have been near the end of the "Drink Around The World DIS meet". That's the only way that I can understand why I did this...lol.

Well...Big Dog boxers usually put writing around their waist bands. And they usually spell out "B I G D O G S" around them.

Remind you now, I thought that I was wearing my lime-green big dogs....no....obviously not.

And they didn't say "B I G D O G S"!!!

They said something else because these were one of my "basketball" big dog boxers.

Hence...the hysterical giggling and laughing when everyone read on my waistband...."B I G B A L L S"!!!!!!

Can I say that here?

So except for my unexpected dancing on the balcony at the Dolphin Resort while putting up my christmas lights and USA flag lights, this was the only time that this has happened...lol.

And it will not happen again....lol

Sorry...no DIS meet and Big Dogs.

Do you still remember this Tia?

[dudlee930]

hi Tia!!!!!! i was asking about you earlier in this thread. guess i will be in disney while everyone else is there this year.Ladd Brandi and i arrive thanksgiving night and stay till the 13 th. hope to see you there if not before Derinda

[iluvdisney]

Ray - many thanks for starting this post - so many familiar names to catch up with - I think I might have to get a ticket to MVMCP on the 4th and join up with all of you! Looks to be a fun time!

[janette]

:( Looks like we will miss most of the fun, we will be at WDW Thanksgiving week 11/21 - 12/01 and leave very early on 12/01.

Maybe next time for us.

[RaySharpton]

I'll be driving down on Sunday, November 30th after I get off work. Maybe we could meet briefly Sunday evening before you leave, janette. I would love to meet you.

I'll be there Mary, and I have my ticket.

Looking forward to meeting everyone.

[iluvdisney]

Ray - I got my ticket in the mail the other day - looking forward to seeing you!

[Towncrier]

AP rates are out and I'm trying to decide whether or not to book a room at one of the All Stars resorts. Of course I'd rather be at one of the Boardwalk resorts, but it's hard to pass up the $49 AP rate at the All Stars (since I already passed up the $20.03 rate at the Marriott). Don't want to make the same mistake twice.

[Crissup]

The resort makes a big difference in the feel of my vacations. I would go with an Epcot resort. You can always find something to do when you've got a few extra minutes and it's a short walk from Jellyrolls. ;)

[ladypoo]

We will be back down this year too.. Staying at the AllStarSports from fri unti monday dec 5th-8th. Will be Me my dranddaughter and her mother. cant wait again. Even though I am very shy. But will have on my bright electric lime green shirt...

[Maridw]

When I first saw the news about the DIS meet and Mousefest, I had hoped to be able to meet some DISer's. But we are going from Nov 26 to Dec 3rd. So we will just miss everyone. http://www.disneytyme.net/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif

But I will have on my DIS lime green. So keep an eye out for a lime green mickey head (either a pin or on a lanyard). If you see it, give us a hello.

:bounce: :bounce:

[Dan Murphy]

Lots of people coming for MouseFest days!!!! :bounce:

Maridw, I would enjoy meeting you, I'll be there before you head home. :wave:

[Maridw]

Dan Murphy,
That would be terrific. We are going to be staying at Coronado Springs and will be doing Thankgiving at Garden Grill. Might try and surprise my hubby with the Rehitchin Ceremony. I know my DD (16) would get a kick out of that. We celebrated 10 years this year, so it would be fun to do. I'll have to check what days we are doing what besides Thanksgiving day. I know the day we go to MGM we will have breakfast at Starring Rolls - now a trip tradition.

[dvc_bwv]

Hello Ray, Dan and everyone!

I haven't been on the Boards for a while and I just discovered this post. Wayne and I and my son Preston will be there this year. We are staying on Nov 28th at VWL and then moving to BWV on the 29th and will be there until Dec 7th!

We would so like to get together with you again and meet up with some of the other DISers also!

We have tickets for MVMCP on Dec. 2nd, but no firm plans for anything else.

[JamesD]

Just giving this thread a gentle bump!
Does anybody know what happened to Ray Sharpton? He hasn't posted since 9/17/03. I was worried about him and I still hope he can make it to WDW in December.

[Dan Murphy]

Mari, Norma, James......looking forward to seeing you guys soon!!! :wave2: As for Ray, I do think he, along with many others who were at DIS-Con last year, are on a long DIS break, but do lurk. Drop him, or any of the others, a PM. And I do know he, and a good number of the other DIS-Con 'commandos' (missing you guys :wave2: ) will be there this year too.

[Terk-1]

Any DIS folks doing the Illuminations cruise either Friday or Sunday night?

[NancyIL]

I'm doing the cruise on Friday night. :)

[zurgswife]

Thanks once again Ray.....to bad I won't get to see you this year...have a fabulous time...

The Zurgs will be in WDW from Dec 20 Until Jan 4, 2004....

[RaySharpton]

Hello everyone. It's Friday morning, November...something ... and only 17 more days for me before I arrive to WDW.

I can't wait to see everyone.

Zurgswife, can't you come in a little early like the 17th, pretty please.

And NancyIL, and Terk-1, I'm on standby list for one of the Friday night RADP cruise boat rides, but they look full.

JameD and Linda, thank you for signing up for the three Epcot DIS Meets. That will be a great night.

Norma, I'll be at Epcot on the 2nd and MVMCP on the 4th, but maybe we can meet some other time.

And Maridw, I just listed some DIS Meets for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. I hope that you can make some of them.

Hi, ladypoo, I can be pretty shy, too. I hope that you can come.

Iluvdisney, Crissip, and John...I can't wait to see you, too.

Sincerely, Ray:)

[iluvdisney]

It will be a fun time Ray - I'm looking forward to seeing everyone!!!:Pinkbounc

[Disneyfan63]

I've been a member of this site for awhile but haven't posted much. You know me as Disneyfan63 but I'm a member of at least three other Disney-related communities:

On kathiandbrian.com (Brian and Kathi are a husband and wife from my neck of the woods in southern New Jersey; outside of Philadelphia, PA) I am Jimtravelfan.

On the under-construction Magicalley.com I am CMJim (the "CM" stands for "Chatmaster"), an assistant chat host.

On Tagrel.com I call myself Jimbolini1963 (I just appended my birth year to a name a classmate wrote in my 11th-grade yearbook).

I haven't read rec.arts.disney.parks in a long time, even though I have it in my newsreader subscription list, but may take this day off from work (for a dental appointment) to try to play catch up (as opposed to playing mustard (ok, everyone can groan!)).

I've posted my tentative itinerary for my trip, December 3-14 in All Star Music (champagne tastes are hard to indulge on a beer budget, but I'm not complaining; it's Disney!), in other threads; but because I have some free time, especially from late afternoon of December 7th on, I will try to attend some of the various DIS meets. I hope I am welcome.

Where can I get one of those DIS pins or green ribbons?

I think that I'm a foodie (I love to eat), though at just a hair under 5'7" (1.68m) and around 180 lbs (about 82 kilos), I'm short but not grossly fat. At 40, I have short dark brown hair with a little gray, a bushy brown mustache with a little gray, and wear eyeglasses. While I'm no Mel Gibson or Antonio Banderas, I won't (yet lol) shatter mirrors with a mere glance.

I've been a Disney fan for as long as I can remember, though this will be only my third trip to the World. I went to Orlando in 1982 with my high school senior class, where we spent a day at Magic Kingdom, one at River Country, and one even at Wet n Wild. I also went to Disneyland in 1998 with my mom, aunt, uncle, and two cousins. My last trip to WDW was solo from October 13-20, 2000 which included a day at Sea World.

Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Jim

[Crissup]

Ray,
CarolAnnK and I are hoping to run across you again this year. We'll be keeping our eyes peeled for you.

DisneyFan63,
You're going to have a great time. The DIS has a great group of people, as does RADP! Between these two groups being there at once, you shouldn't find yourself wondering what to do next. :)

[figmentvi]

Hi Ray !!!

I'm at 19 days till my arrival and I'm so excited about seeing everyone (and meeting new folks too!!).

I saw your posts for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd and I'm boo-hooing because we don't arrive until the afternoon of the 3rd.

But I know that I'll see you on the 4th. :bounce: :bounce:

Anyway, I'm very impressed that you organized those meets, WAY TO GO RAY !!!!:jumping1:

See you on the 4th !!

Linda

[Towncrier]

Like Linda, I'm arriving on the 3rd, so I'm going to have to miss out on your early December activities Ray.

What time are you arriving Linda? I'm picking up my rental car at 2:45PM and heading straight for ASMovies. Maybe I'll see you at the airport.

[figmentvi]

Hi John !!!

Would you believe I arrive at 2:43 pm ????? I'm coming in from San Juan on American Airlines.

Holly and Tim are picking me up at the airport (they're driving down), then we head for The Poly.

Who knows, maybe we'll get to ride the train to the main terminal together :hyper: :hyper:

[Marla Hellwig]

No surprise visit from me this year - I swear - but looking forward to seeing pictures and hearing tales from this year - I will be there in spirit

[NancyIL]

Bummer, Marla! :( We will miss you!

[one_cat]

We just ordered our lime-green tee-shirts so we are all set, excited to see everyone on 12/4. This will be quite a group.

[RaySharpton]

Mary, you are absolutely right...It's going to be magical!!!

Disneyfan63...of course you are very welcome to any and all the meets. I'm staying off campus this year to save a little money, too. You can buy a DIS pin from the DIS Store on the front page of www.wdwinfo.com . I think that I have a link on this thread on the first page.

John and CarolAnnK...I am looking forward to meeting you in a couple of weeks.

Linda...I am so excited about your Crystal Palace DIS meet and MVMCP DIS meet that I'm about to burst with anticipation.

John that would be cool if you met Linda at the airport.

Marla...Marla...Marla...I won't get to help hold your cup collection. Maybe you could still sneak in.

NancyIL...I'm on the Wait List for the Illumination cruise Friday. Maybe I'll see you.

one_cat...That's great...I'll see you at the MVMCP, Thursday. And I'll have my lime green t-shirt, too.

[Marla Hellwig]

Marla...Marla...Marla...I won't get to help hold your cup collection. Maybe you could still sneak in.

ROFL Ray

dd is on a swim team and has 4 meets bascially back to back weekends so while you all will be having fun with Mickey and the gang - I will be sitting pool side cheering her on

[one_cat]

Ray - I was looking at your schedule (on another thread) and we will be in 3 of the 4 parks the same day as you. Hows that for coincidence? So we'll probably run into you a few times.

[RaySharpton]

Marla...couldn't you come during the week for a few days? Please!

One_cat...That's great. I can't wait to see you.

[Marla Hellwig]

Marla...couldn't you come during the week for a few days? Please!

Sorry Ray - no can do - since my dad died - I am the only one in the family that drives (well the only one that can be counted on to show up on time and when needed):(

[RaySharpton]

I'm sorry Marla. I didn't know that your father had expired.

Maybe another time.

Sincerely, Ray

[DebWills]

Hi Everyone!

Just a couple more weeks until the largest gathering of Disney Internet Fans at WDW! I'm getting very excited and hope you are too.

We now have over 15 Webmaster/Founders and 10 Guide Book Authors who plan to attend the Mega Mouse Meet at 1pm on Saturday, December 6 at the Dolphins Copa Banana Room (Lobby level).

We are asking each of the communities to please send a couple volunteer Greeters to the Mega Mouse Meet. Would the DIS folks be willing to send 1-2 people to help out? You'd need to be at the Copa banana by noon on Saturday.

Our friends at Passporter have printed up a schedule of the MouseFest/Radp8 meets... everyone is welcome... you can download the schedule here:

http://www.passporter.com/gathering.htm

I look forward to meeting you all!

Deb Wills
We've Moved to http://allearsnet.com
One location for the Unofficial Guide and All Ears(TM) Newsletter

[Dan Murphy]

Looks like this is coming along great, Ray. Lots of DIS'ers. Thanks again, Ray, for starting this one many months ago.

Hi Deb. I'm looking forward to meeting you and the many others who provide such a valuable medium for all us Disney nuts to use, learn from and enjoy, and importantly meet others from throughout the world. Should be a great time.

[RaySharpton]

You're welcome Dan. I enjoy it. And yes, this seems like it will be a huge 2003 Mousefest meet with all the great WDW information internet guides and WDW discussion boards and their individual followers.

Plus, many individual DIS meets (I can't wait for figmentvi's MVMCP and Crystal Palace DIS Meet).

And of course, the huge 2003 Mousefest Meet with so many websites and authors represented.

And so many other individual meets like Deb Wills' AllEarsNet (formerly WDWIG), Passporter, R.A.D.P., OurLaughingPlace, and so many more.

And Deb, I am so excited!!!! I just can't wait. Thank you for the information. I can't see the "PFD" file of the itinerary from Passporter on my WebTV. But that's O.K. That's why I always like to make a thread like this one.

And thank you for your website information. You know, your www.wdwig.com site (now http://AllEarsNet.com ) was the very first WDW site where I found so much Disney information. I have always liked the neat outline form of your "site map".

I always saw the "AllEarNet" logo on my e-mail news letters and thought that they were different in that AllEarsNet was for email WDWIG for WDW info.

I'll correct that on my first five posts on this thread right now.

And I haven't heard nor read anything about the DIS being represented at the 2003 Mousefest.

I'm sure that Pete Werner knows about the 2003 Mousefest, as do most of the DIS Moderators. If he hasn't contacted you, I don't think that he plans on doing anything this year.

Which is sad...because he not only has the WDW info site www.wdwinfo.com , but one of the most popular WDW discussion boards, www.DISboards.com .

Maybe he might do something next year.

OOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRR....hint...hint...hint...he might give you a call and come himself.

If he didn't want to come to the Mousefest, I'm sure some of his moderators might volunteer. I can think of several moderators right now that would be great DIS representatives that have said that they would be down there during Mousefest.

Sincerely, Ray:)

P.S. : Please give me about an hour or so to edit my five posts on this thread...lol. My WebTV internet box doesn't use a mouse or windows...lol.

[DebWills]

Hiya folks,

Please know that Pete and I have had several conversations about the MegaMouseMeet dating back to early early this calendar year and as recently as October. Before I posted anything on the DIS boards about the meet ions ago, I ran it by Pete first; so he knows......

He has a prior committment that weekend and is unable to be at WDW. He hasn't let me know of any other "official DIS rep" attending.

That said, I know that lots of DIS folks will be around and of course dear Ray has been planning all kinds of fun events!

The Mega Mouse Meet Greeters I am looking for (in my earlier post), aren't meant to be anything other than volunteers helping out at the Mega Mouse Meet.... You won't have a name tag that says DIS greeter or AllEarsNet greeter.... just greeters helping folks out. I mention it to include you all as a community... it's certainly not a requirement.

I am looking forward to meeting so many of you over the course of the weekend! If you see me walking around, please don't hesitate to say hello!

Deb Wills

[RaySharpton]

Oh boy...that's swell Deb.

May I be the first to volunteer, please.

I always wante to be a greeter at WDW.

Sincerely, Ray:):):):)

[DebWills]

Ray,

Would be glad to have you as a greeter! Email me and I can send you some information.

Also, when you email; include your snail and I'll send you a hard copy of the Pocket Guide to MouseFest.

Deb

[RaySharpton]

Thank you, Deb.

I just sent you an email via the DIS.

[Towncrier]

Deb - I was going to send Ray a copy of the Pocket Guide this evening (since I already know his address). Of course, he might just want an "official" copy from you, so I'll let him make that decision.

If you need another "official" greeter, I'd be glad to help too.

That way on Sunday when I leave, I can say "0" days lef...lol.

By the way, I won't have internet access while I'm down there. So I won't be posting after that.

I'll be driving down Sunday straight to a DIS Meet with janette at the BW Resort, if they still don't have Wishes that night.

Leaving Wednesday afternoon. Can't wait!!!!

Getting everything taken care of before we leave. Still haven't started packing yet, will probably start tonight. Have our packing list ready and have started putting things with our suitcase so we won't forget them.

Hope to see some of you there. We leave before the Mousefest starts, but know some will be there before too. Have plans for the MVMCP for the 30th and then have booked a Holiday Sleigh ride for the 1st.

Watch for our Green Mickey heads and DD will have a green keychain hooked to her fanny pack, and I will have a Disboard Lanyard. We will also have Mousefest lanyard cards on our lanyards.

Say hi if you see us.:chat:

[RaySharpton]

That is great. I hope to see you.

That sleigh ride sounds great.

[NancyIL]

Hey, Ray...I'm leaving in TWO DAYS!


I'll be at my mom's first, then arrive at WDW on Nov. 30th. That will be an Epcot day for me, followed by the MK on the 1st, MGM on the 2nd, and AK on the 3rd...plans subject to change. I'll be at MVMCP on the 4th, and then follow the MouseFest activities through the 8th. I can't wait! :bounce:

We leave tomorrow for Nashville for Thanksgiving with friends, then we fly out of there on Friday!! Looks like we will be running into many of you, (especially you nancyIL!) I can't wait. We have tickets for MVMCP for every night from the 30th through the 5th. Wish we could stay for the whole Mega Mouse internet meet, but we leave on December 6th. We wanted to stay until the 7th, but they were all booked up!
One more sleep, and we are off and running!

Well...I just got off work. I need to post a few more times, finish packing, and then off to sleep...then wake up again at 5:00 P.M....work my 12 hours...come home ...shower...and drive straight to WDW. I should make it to WDW by 4:30 P.M. I'll be back on the 19th. I won't have internet access while I'm at WDW. So I won't be able to reply to my threads.

The "magic" is almost here.

I'm looking forward to meeting everyone.

Ray :)
