[Princess Michelle]

I'll be there but you already knew that.

[Beauty]

Thanks Christine! I can't wait to meet all you CRAZY Tampa girls and boy (hint hint Barry).

It will be me, DH, my mom and John-Cole and he would love to meet more kids!!

[Dan Murphy]

How about in Dec??

[Beauty]

Well we WILL be in WDW Dec. 13-21st Dan...what are your dates??

[Mickey's sunshine]

If you would like a Tampa meet then Dan I am sure we can arrange one!! :)


Barry, you know you wanna see your girl Michelle again so whatever you have planned for that day cancel and show up. You could pet the sharks for us! :)

[Princess Michelle]

I'm sure we will see you in December Dan Man! :)


Yeah, that's it Barry, pet the nice sharky, he won't bite... :o

[Dan Murphy]

11/30-12/10 Busch Gardens? :rolleyes: ;)

[Poohbear123]

But, with my LOUSY job, I can't!:mad: :rolleyes: Hope to see some of you in Nov. 6-9th!;)

[Princess Michelle]

DAN! :eek: Do you think we would actually kill you this time since you were on the brink of death the last time we dragged you around BG all day long? :p Oh wait! You are turning yourself into a healthy stud muffin now, you would be the one wanting to go on Montu while we're all dragging around tired and aching. LOL Just beware of the cowboys... that's all I'm sayin' ;)


Faith, that stinks but I'm sure we'll see you in November. :)

[WebmasterBarry]

I might be there. Let me check my busy schedule. :)

[Poohbear123]

I have been trying to WIN the Lottery, but, NO luck as yet!:rolleyes: :o

[olena]

Have fun, y'all! I'll be down from 11/27-12/6...:D

Everybody hug Dootsy for me....:D

[floridaminnie]

I'll try to make it. I shouldn't be busy then.

[Beauty]

Heather you have made Dootsy's day! She was thrilled when I showed her that!!

I sooo wish you could be there too!!!!!

[Princess Michelle]

sdoane, it would be great to meet you, I do hope you can make it! :)

[Mickey's sunshine]

Sdoane - same as what Michelle said, we enjoy meeting new local DIS'ers. Plus we need more girls to help us gang up on poor Barry. :)


Bet?????

[WebmasterBarry]

Yoo-hoo, Uncle Kyle. :)

BTW, anyone that shows up is subject to videotaping and being put into the DIS Meets 2003 video. You have been warned!

I think the music for this meet will be "Under the Sea."

[Mickey's sunshine]

Michelle, I think we need to discuss this video taping thing - yep we need to do something about that. *devilsh grin*

[floridaminnie]

I htink I'll bring mine, b/c if Barry is doing the filming, how can he be in it?

[Princess Michelle]

That would be great, I just endured 3 days of that camera, including an interview while riding the Haunted Mansion. I would love to see someone turn the tables on Barry! LOL

[Beauty]

Okay Barry you better be there! You can interview John-Cole. I swear he will talk ANYONE'S head off!!

I just can't wait to meet you all, I'm so excited!!

[WebmasterBarry]

Hmmm...I have about 10 tapes at home, so John-Cole can talk all he wants.

Hey Michelle, the Haunted Mansion interview ended up in the edited video!

Oh, I found some $2 off coupons for the FL Aquarium. They're in a booklet I found at a rest stop. I'll bring some and sell you one for $3. :)

Oh, boy, that date is very bad for me -- sorry. I have a matinee that day at 8 O'Clock Theatre at the Largo Cultural Center. We open this Friday in "California Suite". I would have suggested that ya'll come to see the show, but it's not really anything for any of the kids -- Neil Simon's adult humor, you know.

Hope you all have a wonderful time and I hope to join one of these Tampa meets soon! VAL:D

[floridaminnie]

Barry...they also have $2.00 off coupons free off their website. Also, for any teachers out there, teachers get in free!

[WebmasterBarry]

So do we have a headcount of who's coming? I can bring a pressie for everyone (one per family, though).

[Mickey's sunshine]

What is a pressie?

I will coming, probably with Chrissi Pooh and her dd Julie, maybe Leila will ride with us?

[floridaminnie]

It'll be myself and DD, Brianna

[WebmasterBarry]

A pressie is a present, which will be as good as Star Wars underwear with Yodas and stuf fon it. :)

[vickyBaby]

Barry, if you are going to give each family a pair of your underwear, be sure to wash it first.

[WebmasterBarry]

They can wash it themselves! :)

[floridaminnie]

I guess that's better than a pair of thongs. ;)

[Mickey's sunshine]

Sdoane - I am glad you are attending! :)

Barry - please leave your undies at home - send a pair to James, he will appreciate them.

Where should we meet, at the ticket window or maybe in front of the gift shop?

Sdoane - have you seen a picture of any of us so you know what we look like? Then again if Barry beats you there then it wont be hard to miss him - he will have 3 or 4 camera and also the camcorder. :rolleyes:

[floridaminnie]

Nope, don't know what anyone looks like.

[Mickey's sunshine]

Ok, here is a link for a picture of Princess Michelle (left) and myself:

http://www.greatbritton.net/dismeet/DSC03047.JPG

my hair is much shorter now but Michelle looks the same.

You should see a big group of us - I will let you know when a meeting place has been determined - I think outside of the gift shop would be good that way it is inside in case it is raining or anything like that. I looked at your pics from the link in your signature the other day so I know what you look like and will watch for you. :)

I am going to PM you my cell number in case you need to contact us.

[Princess Michelle]

Barry, the Haunted Mansion interview made the cut? I'm really scared now! :eek:

Suzanne, sadly pics of me are not too hard to find on the DIS. I'm just a little bit of a ham... LOL :o

Christine, I'm sorry but I'm at least one pound lighter than I was in that picture. ;)

[vickyBaby]

Hey Barry, I hope you don't expect people to pay for the panties.

Make sure you wear your new hat.

[Mickey's sunshine]

Oh, pardon me Princess Michelle!

[Beauty]

Here is me but my hair no longer has the highlights and is a little longer and I'm 2 Pounds lighter...LOL!

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid21/p63a825d1b2a3eb2337e1a0d995183346/fdb62858.jpg

Here are my DH and DS this pic was only taken a few nights ago,

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid76/p4f1b1029c1ef51bdbb3b8f9701fba582/fb40e76f.jpg

Here is a BETTER picture of JOhn-Cole my son,

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid76/p751f17845b1fd21450d51693f68c6a6e/fb40e770.jpg

oh and here is one with Dootsy (my mom) with John and J.C.

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid63/p5c4871b58523f9c5de8a5f5aefa83a21/fc0f9618.jpg

So just imagine the above 3 people with a fat side-kick (which would be me!)

I can't wait to meet you all!!!!!

Barry! Don't bring me undies, I would rather you bring John a thong....ROTFLOL! But Michelle needs a thong too with a tiarra on it!

[Princess Michelle]

If anyone brings me underwear just please make sure the tag is cut out. Those things itch like crazy and if there isn't a super nice person with a pair of scissors around to help you out, well... :eek:

[floridaminnie]

We're not going to have an underwear exchange, are we?;)

[Princess Michelle]

You never know with Barry, he brings people pork brains so in comparison Yoda underwear isn't all that strange... :p

[Dan Murphy]

[Beauty]

I know my sissy Michelle and isn't that Cady McClain with the baby carriage???? They look similar. I do recognize Angiebelle but is one of those Chrissi? I don't know the other I don't think.

[Mickey's sunshine]

Dan is THE MAN!!

from l to R.

Leila, me, Michelle, AngieBelle, and Chrissi on and cant forget the little rug rat, thats Julie. WE look like a bunch of drowned rats. Now where is that group shot of all of us that posted - it was the one taken at the beginning of the day, much better.


Ummm. . . I sure hope this is not going to be an undie exchange - no thanks!!

[Beauty]

Let me say again for the zillionth time I am so excited!! I can't wait to meet you all! Although I hope we don't get soaked!

[Princess Michelle]

Yeah, I hope not either since that would mean the glass at the aquarium broke and I can't swim but it probably wouldn't matter cuz a shark will have already eaten me before I had a chance to drown... :(



C'mon Christine, I'll make a special trip to the flea market just to get you a pair of those granny panties that are so huge you could use them for a shower curtain! or maybe you could hang them in your doorway to keep the draft out, kind of like a screen door since you insist on leaving the other one open all the time! :p

[Mickey's sunshine]

You are not funny Michelle!

[AngieBelle]

hehe, I remember that day at Busch Gardens last year. Hey, guess what? Since I'm doing Halloween Horror Nights at Universal as well as working at WDW, I now have free admission to every major theme park in FL! (Universal employees get free access to not only their own parks but Sea World and Busch Gardens too!) My schedule is really nuts right now though, so it's hard for me to say if I can attend any meets.

Hey, cutting off the tag is against the law! :)

[Beauty]

flea market

DID YOU SAY FLEA MARKET!!!!!!!!!!! WHERE!!!!!! WHEN?????? HOW DO WE GET THERE?????? IS IT OPEN ON SUNDAYS????? WOULD WE HAVE TIME AFTER THE AQUARIUM??????

Sorry but Flea Markets are a big obsession with me! We always go to the one in Orlando!

[floridaminnie]

Hey, I actually have a pair of "grandma" panties.:p

[Mickey's sunshine]

and we all know you would love to slap a pair of handcuffs on Michelle..... :teeth:

[WebmasterBarry]

And a red wig! :)

[Princess Michelle]

Christine is already a redhead, put the cuffs on her. :p

[Beauty]

I have some granny panties too! There are just some times in life when you need to wear granny panties...LOL!

Humm my sister in handcuffs and a red wig....hummm I can't see it.....do me a favor and take pictures when you get her that way Barry!

[WebmasterBarry]

The only time she'll have handcuffs is when she's seen without a shirt on "Cops!" :)

[Mickey's sunshine]

Love your new tag Barry. LOL

Michelle, like I have always said, I am not gonna take your man away from you! ;)

[WebmasterBarry]

I never knew Michelle liked men. :)

[WebmasterBarry]

So now the date is getting close, where are we meeting at the aquarium?

BTW, I believe AAA sells FL Aquarium tickets for $11.50.

[Beauty]

Yep any further details we need? I printed out directions and I printed out the $2.00 off tickets. I know you said between 10:30-11 right?? So where do we meet? At the entrance???

[Mickey's sunshine]

I say we meet in front of the gift shop. How does that sound?


This time next week we will all be terrorizing the poor marine life at the aquarium!

[WebmasterBarry]

OK, sounds good.

Is Dan coming down too? :)

[Mickey's sunshine]

So Barry, is it same to assume you are going to be there? I think we should invite James, oops, I mean Alison. ;)

I never heard from Bet so I do not think she is going, :(

You think you can handle us ladies Barry?

[Princess Michelle]

Barry will have John and John-Cole to keep him company. :)

So 10:30-11:00 in front of the gift shop. Sounds good, I'm excited! I can't wait to see everyone again, meet Suzanne and her DD and see my Sissy for the first time!!! :teeth:

[Beauty]

Michelle I'm just warning you I have been known to squeel upon seeing someone I have been wanting to see FOREVER!!!!!!

BTW go look for the thread with pics of your Nephew at his b'day party!!

[WebmasterBarry]

Well, I've been around Helenabear, Cindy B, CrazyBoutDisney, and several other DIS ladies, so it don't bother me! :)

[Princess Michelle]

LOL Beth, you're a squealer huh? Somehow I'm not surprised. ;)

Barry loves being around all these beautiful women, makes him look like a stud. :p

[floridaminnie]

Sounds good to me. I can't actually believe that I'll be meeting ya'll in less than a week!

[Mickey's sunshine]

Originally posted by Princess Michelle

I will have to agree with this! It is probably good for his ego. ;) :teeth:

It will be nice to meet you Suzanne and your DD! How old is your daughter?

[floridaminnie]

Brianna is 4 yrs old.

[floridaminnie]

Brianna is 4 yrs old.

[WebmasterBarry]

Hmmm...in 14 years, she will be legal. :)

I wanted to kiss Michelle in a dark corner, but my secret is out! :)

[Mickey's sunshine]

That is cool Suzanne, my god-daughter Julie will be there and she is 4 so they will have company. :)

Barry - you are something dear, truelly something!! But please lets not scare Suzanne away yet ok???

Suzanne, will this be your first DIS meet?

[floridaminnie]

I've meet people from the Dis, but I've never been to a DIS meet. (I hope that makes sense). I think I'll need to bring a bodyguard to keep Barry away from DD. lol!

[Mickey's sunshine]

Yep, it makes sense. Well I hope you have fun with us - we all have met several times well except for the guest of honor, Beth.

LOL on the bodyguard, Barry is all talk. The first time I met him he barely talked - he is a very quiet person. I was shocked!

[Beauty]

Oh Barry, be prepared I talk a lot and I love trying to get shy people to open up! After all I married a shy guy...took him FOREVER to hold my hands and thought I would die of old age before he kissed me! Thankfully he isn't shy now!

[WebmasterBarry]

So Beauty is going to kiss me? :)

I'm only shy because I can't spoil the audio in my video.

[floridaminnie]

That I'll make sure I get on tape! ;)

[Mickey's sunshine]

Yeah, that and Beth's DH knocking Barry out. :eek:

Ok so who is going to volunteer to feed the sharks? ;)

[floridaminnie]

Using Barry as the shark bait? ;)

[Princess Michelle]

Suzanne, most people are scared of us Tampa people when we start planning a meet, you my dear are going to fit right in. ;) Can't wait to meet you! :teeth:

[WebmasterBarry]

I got 4 packages of presents ready for the 4 groups of people that will be there:

Mickey's Sunshiney Day
P. Michy
Beauty and the Beast
sdoane and the Milli Vanillis

Did I miss anyone? :)

[floridaminnie]

Michelle...not much can scare me. I teach 6th graders! :p

[Mickey's sunshine]

teach 6th graders, oh you then you will fit in just fine with us!!

Oh and no Chrissi and Julie. :(

[WebmasterBarry]

So Christine will be the hall monitor?

[Princess Michelle]

Somehow I don't think it would be very good to make Christine the hall monitor, she would kind of lose all credibility when she is running and shouting through the halls herself. :teeth:

What age are 6-th graders, 11?12? yeah, that's fits our mental state about right, well, Barry is about 8 but we don't beat him up for it, it's a known fact that men mature more slowly than women. :p

I'm curious as to what presents Barry might be bringing us? DIScon and DISmeets videos for everyone? :teeth: It will probably be pork brains and yoda underwear though... :eek:

Well, darn, Chrissi isn't coming so that means I'll be the youngest adult, well, I don't know how old Suzanna is but I know the rest of ya'll are OOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLDDDDDDDD. :rolleyes:

[WebmasterBarry]

I was going to bring manatees wearing scarves Christmas ornaments, but it'll be pork brains and Yoda underwear for all! :)

[Beauty]

I have my Mantatee with his Christmas Scarve looking at me right now! I love him! His name is Barry.

[Mickey's sunshine]

Ummm Michelle, even if Chrissi was to go you would still be the youngest - you dork! :)

Awww Beauty you named your manatee Barry - how sweet! :)

[WebmasterBarry]

I named my chair "Michelle." :)

[floridaminnie]

So does this mean I have to start naming my furniture after people from the DIS?

[Dan Murphy]

If I went, I would be the oldest. :eek:

[WebmasterBarry]

Dan may be old, but he thinks young! :)

[Princess Michelle]

Dork? Excuse me? We were the same age until she had to go and have a birthday. Is it my fault she had a birthday? Nooooo. :p

Barry, you named your chair after me? I'm flattered... I think.... that must be one astonishingly beautiful chair! :teeth:

Dan would be okay at the Aquarium, he just can't handle all us crazy chicks dragging him around Busch Gardens! The Aquarium is nice and air conditioned, a great place to meet. :)

[floridaminnie]

BTW Michelle, you are younger than me. ;)

[Mickey's sunshine]

Dan, older or not I wish you were there with us! :)

2 more days!! :bounce:

Michelle, you know I called you a dork cuz you are such a good friend. :) And what the heck did you do to get Barry's chair named after you? I am afraid to ask actually. Does he think of you everytime he sits down?? :eek: :eek: :jester: :p

[Princess Michelle]

LOL, thanks for letting me know Suzanne. So I guess that makes it official, I'll be the youngest adult. Oh well, someone has to keep you guys feeling like kids. :teeth:

Christine, I should just be happy he didn't name his toilet after me, huh? :eek:

[WebmasterBarry]

My toliet paper is named "Michelle." :)

[Princess Michelle]

Your toilet paper huh? I hope that tp gets to sit on the throne. :p

[Mickey's sunshine]

Barry :rolleyes: :rolleyes: and

<------------

[WebmasterBarry]

Hey, you wasted the 100th post to this thread to make fun of Michelle and I? You're getting the Yoda underwear then! :)

[Princess Michelle]

You tell her Barry! :p

[floridaminnie]

I'll see ya'll in the morning!

[Mickey's sunshine]

woohoo, just what I always wanted, a pair of Yoda panties! :bounce:

Cant wait to see you all tomorrow too.

[Princess Michelle]

It's too early to leave darn it. :( I'm so excited, I can't wait to see you guys!!! :Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce:



okay, so really I just can't wait to see Christine get her Yoda panties...



This will be an experience to be sure. I will drive on an interstate I've never driven on before (2-75) and I will drive downtown which is also something I have never done before...actually, I've avoided that one like the plague, hopefully there will be no one way street casualties.... :eek:

[Dan Murphy]

http://www.click-smilie.de/sammlung0903/mittelgrosse/medium-smiley-093.gif

Dan

[Mickey's sunshine]

I dont go downtown too much either but think it should be ok.

Michelle - just be careful and see you soon. Oh and when I get those Yoda panties I am going to put them on your head!!!! :)

Hi Dan, thank you. Would you like one of us to give you a call??

[Dan Murphy]

Sure, that would be great, would love to say hello to you guys. Yoda??? :eek:

You guys talk about downtown like it is a foreign country, LOL. What's up with that?!?!?!?!?

[Princess Michelle]

We kind of forgot to call Dan, didn't we... :o


Dan, downtown IS another country!, there are skyscrapers everywhere and one way streets abound! So many of the streets are President's last names, you forget if you are supposed to turn on Jefferson, or Kennedy or Washington, then there are the cruise ships and the submarines and the water and the parking garages and the parking meters, oh it's just too much! :crazy:

[Mickey's sunshine]

Dan, the only number I had for you was your FL cell, sorry. :(

Michelle - it is not that bad. ;)

[WebmasterBarry]

I got lost too. I ended up on the wrong side of the Port of Tampa. I've never seen so many fuel stations!

[floridaminnie]

The blond didn't get lost, she was just the last one to arrive. :rolleyes:

[Princess Michelle]

LOL Suzanne, I gave myself plenty of time to get lost because I know how I am when I go somewhere that isn't familiar to me.

So here we have it-

The two dorks got lost, well, actually, Barry got lost, I just got there a different way than what my directions stated. I was always in the correct vicinity. On the other hand, even though he got lost he was still the first one there. :rolleyes:

The Blonde never got lost but was the last one to arrive, however, you were still very much in the alotted time frame of which we were to meet. :)

The redhead, who says "it's not that bad" works for AAA and probably spent the whole week plotting a strategy and studying maps! :p

And the people from Mississippi, I don't think they had any trouble at all! :eek:

LOL, and they are toasted too! :teeth:

[WebmasterBarry]

I've got a video done of our FL Aquarium meet. I'm going to send Christine 3 copies so she can pass them out at Saturday's WDW meet. Who else wants a copy?

[floridaminnie]

I would like a copy if at all possible!

[WebmasterBarry]

I'll send you a PM, Floridaminnie.

[Princess Michelle]

Thanks Barry! I can't wait to see it. :)

[Mickey's sunshine]

Cool!! I love getting packages in the mail!! But do I really have to share???? *sigh*

[WebmasterBarry]

Yes, you have to share...or else! :)

[Princess Michelle]

Yeah Christine, you hafta share or else you get YODA underwear!!!! :p

[WebmasterBarry]

According to the UPS tracking number 1Z A71 1V3 03 4066 9596, it arrived at Christine's house and was put on the porch. So bug Christine tomorrow for the video! :)
