Singles Social Club: It's Always 5 o'clock here!

[NJDiva]

That sounds like so much fun! I can't wait to hear about your adventures in Europe! Are you going solo?

surprisingly I'm not. my bestfriend's other bestfriend (her college roommate) and I are going. both of us like to travel and do it often solo so we thought it would be cool to go together. it's the best of both worlds, since we're used to being alone, we don't have to be with each other 24/7 and when we want to hang with someone, we have each other. it should be fun, I haven't been on a cruise in about 3 years so I'm due.

Well, where is everyone? I know this slows down after a trip but ya know. Thought others would post some pix.

Yes....those of us who were not able to join in can see what we missed.

I don't think we took any pictures, we did get photopass, but didn't get any pictures from the meet. Hopefully someone did better than us.

We seriously only took pics at your cocktail party. We should have done a group pic EARLY during Saturday's Food and Wine trek. We all broke off too early. At least a Red Cup was posted from JRs. But I think that was on Facecrack. No faces there though.

DC is still driving home after the long and productive vacation. When he gets back I am sure there will be something posted here.

 

[TheBigE]

All,

I have made it back to Geneve, well I made it back Tuesday Morning and was a little slow for a couple of days but finally back in stride.

Great time was had by all...we really appreciate the attendance at the Cocktail Hour. It was a great time and the pictures prove it. The lady at the BW General Store knew me by name after three, yes, three runs for additional beverages. Some great memories there and I hope everyone had fun...well we know that Brooktoon had a great time.

Food and Wine - This is my first time in many years. Great people, food and weather made for a most excellent time. How many times did we hit the Sake Bar?

For those that did not make the JellyRolls impromptu stop, a definite must for the entire group next DISMeet. Red cups, great music and Sister Christian. Sorta the perfect storm.

I hope everyone has made it back safely or is still enjoying WDW.

Take Care
Erik

Or to keep with tradition, a stop at the blue bus!

Sounds like you all had a great time, hopefully next year my schedule will coincide. And would love to trade Geneve tales!

And.... I'm back.

Finally arrived back home yesterday afternoon. Ended up taking 3 days on the return trip. Spent my departure day at the Universal parks doing what we missed our previous days. Finally left town around 7pm to head to Atlanta.

Spent 1/2 the next day in Atlanta meeting up with some friends before hitting the road again....

and then finished up my drive yesterday.....promptly taking a nice nap after 2 weeks of going virtually nonstop.

The meet was a blast. The overall trip was a blast.

Oh.... And for those not at the meet.....

Thanks DCTooTall, I didn't see this until now, I thought I did it right, but apparently I missed people, but the key is them having a number to reach us for the meet!

I am at WDW now, got here today after missing a flight and being delayed (accident - not me- closed the freeway on the way to airport), but we got here in time for MNSSHP and for the sky to open up on us. We had a blast!!!

FYI- I am staying at POP for the first time ever, have always rented DVC or stayed at Deluxe. Wow, I kinda love POP already. I will see how the rest of the week goes, but great price, great buses, great food court, nice theme to walk the kiddo through. I am pleased...

Spent the first night in Orlando at the AllStar Music. It wasn't too bad, but still much prefer my timeshare. I actually ended up purchasing the back 1/2 of my contract while I was down there.

As I sit here enjoying a cup of coffee on my porch, I realized it has been quite some time since I have posted anything on this thread. So I will wish everyone a good morning, and hope that your weekend has a sprinkling of . Although the resident pyrate may want a splash of rum.

back!!

I wasn't there last year for MK's 40th but was determined to be there for epcot's 30th (my favvy fav park!) plus D23 was holding a big ol birthday party at World Showplace with all kinds of fun presentations.

The merch line in the morning was disastrous, but actually getting the merch in the store was easy peasy. The birthday celebration at America Gardens theater was pathetic (the VP of Epcot & VP of disney parks are terrible speakers; not one audio or video clip of Walt either) but the fireworks show was wonderful. All in all, not too bad. They also did a special park map & had buttons.

Yup! Sounds EXACTLY like last year's MK 40th

Party Pictures. . .lol.

This is from the Cocktail Party with TheBigE and ctnurse. It was a blast. . .A few peeps missing but the guys wanted pics of the girls. It was funny. Me, Melissa and Tara in all pictures. Wild.

For the record... It wasn't that the guys wanted pics of the girls... It's that the girls decided to take group shots of the 3 of them together, with 2 of the girls already well on their way to high levels of intoxication. While the (sober) guys where either dealing with other things, or just finding themselves amused at the energy and shenanigans of the intoxicated people in the room.

Well, where is everyone? I know this slows down after a trip but ya know. Thought others would post some pix.

Just got back. don't look at me. I still have to dig myself out of my bags, and my catching up from work.

Not to mention survey the damage done to my finances the past 2 weeks.

I don't think I got any pictures of the meet. Sorry I had to peel off as early as I did peeps. Other priorities and all, I'm sure you understand.

Jellyrolls sounds like it would've been fun. After our San Angel dinner we decided to head out and go over to DTD to do some quick shopping (burn the rest of the Snack credits at the Candy Cauldron before they expired), followed by the hottub and pool back at the resort.

Next year, We seriously need to try and arrange our F&W meet/trip for a Friday or Monday. It'll be MUCH easier to partake of the many options available to us without the crazy weekend crowds/lines. You know... First Sake Bar trip lines.... Not 2nd Sake Bar trip lines.

(damn! and I never did get a chance to collect on my Margarita Brocktoon promised us!)

Augie, we never made it to the Blue Bus. I only went to US and Epcot the entire trip. Tony and I were having too much fun with friends and family.

 

[Disneyandphilliesfan]

Wow I missed a party The Blond is superhot .Her man is one lucky guy.

 

[valree]

Congrats on the engagement, TooTall! That's excellent news!

 

[Brocktoon]

Finally just got back early this morning ... we were having such a great time we extended our trip by a day, and then I hitched a ride home with the parents in the RV for an 18 hour trip north.

I sorta feel like Ed Norton in the beginning of Fight Club entering into mundane reality again ... spent the day going food shopping, cleaning the house, and STILL doing laundry from the trip on a Saturday night (wine stains came out of my white shorts!)

I'll probably post some more tomorrow with some pics of my trip wins and overall summary ... hint - I got to meet John Lasseter on Tuesday!

So enjoyed meeting everyone. Seriously the highlight meet was Brocktoon's parents. They were an absolute blast. If he tells you he is meeting you all and bringing his parents, go with it. They fit right in. . .awesome peeps.

Thanks again everyone for the kind words about my parents! I would never be a Disney nut if it wasn't for them, as our WDW vacations have been going for as long as I can remember. I know it sounds cheesy, but while my parents are still healthy and going strong I want to continue to build great memories with them without any regrets. 44th anniversary for them this year

While I spend plenty of solo time during my vacations, I also always enjoy keeping the family dynamic going. I really appreciate the DISers accepting my folks into fold

I don't think we took any pictures, we did get photopass, but didn't get any pictures from the meet. Hopefully someone did better than us.

Yep, how is it possible that with so many camera devices between everyone on Saturday (including a photopass) that there really weren't any pics floating around Although I'm quite pleased that I did not show up in any Friday evening pics

For those that did not make the JellyRolls impromptu stop, a definite must for the entire group next DISMeet. Red cups, great music and Sister Christian. Sorta the perfect storm.

There's gotta be a DISers take 2 meet next October and Jellyrolls will need to be on the list. I think the song deck needs to stacked in favor of more 70s/80s power ballads!

Next year, We seriously need to try and arrange our F&W meet/trip for a Friday or Monday. It'll be MUCH easier to partake of the many options available to us without the crazy weekend crowds/lines. You know... First Sake Bar trip lines.... Not 2nd Sake Bar trip lines.

(damn! and I never did get a chance to collect on my Margarita Brocktoon promised us!)

CONGRATS again on the engagement, and it was a very cool treat to meet the complete Clan DC on Sat afternoon!

I have never seen crowds in the Sake bar like we did for round 2, and La Cava was insane on Saturday. They closed off any seating requests and it was take-out only from what I saw.

Thank God margaritas is the only thing an inebriated Brocktoon promised (that I know of), but if we can get some folks together next year, a La Cava stop needs to be in order so I can make good. I did get a few jalapeno margaritas from La Cava later in the week

Alrighty, need to get back to my fun Saturday night of post trip clean-up and laundry

Well, I've been wanting to jump in here but wasn't really sure what the etiquette on this thread is so... I decided to just go for it!

hi everyone!

Do you all ever meet on cruises or is at always at the parks? (Not that I don't love the parks of course!)

Jumping in is the way to join. LOL. Don't worry about topics. . .they can change quite fast on here.

Is anyone going to watch the new episode of Walking dead in a few minutes?

wow this thread is huge! that being said...

Hi!!

I'm making my 2nd trip to Disney and my first middle school (there was no AK when I went, HS was MGM, the Genie from Aladdin ended the MGM parade. I want to say it was 94, 95 the last time I went) to celebrate my 30th birthday!

I was originally going to go by myself (no BF, no DH, and no crazy close friends who could go with me) but my mom decided to join me!

I'm hoping to go sometime next year (though I do want to go to Boston in 2014 to see the US figure skating championships. yeah, I'm basically a dork) or 2014 either near the end of September or sometime in December (Mickey's Christmas!!). That will likely be alone! I wish I had seen this board before I booked! Glad to know I'm not alone in wanting to go to disney, well, ALONE!

Thanks. From what I've been told, I've officially won the award for the most romantic proposal in her family.

Etiquette?! This thread?!!?



to the group. We always love having new people join us. As for the meets, This is the 2nd time we've had a WDW park meet (Last year for the 40th celebration), and we've also had 2 somewhat impromptu meets up at Hershey Park in the past 2 years. I won't say it's an "Always" do it this way thing, more like it's just been a this is what we've managed to get organized with our lack of orginaizational skills. There have also been a few meets outside of the "official" meets when people have just happened to be in the area around the same time. (or who live geographically not too far away and get together for something nearby).

to the group. Would you believe this is actually our 4th or 5th thread.... and we are almost at the point of needing to create another one to migrate to.

It's been a slow year around here though. Still not sure what that's about.

Either way, We are glad to have you join us! Feel free to order up a drink from our resident bartender, and pull up a chair, and jump right into the conversations!

 

[chiburple]

Etiquette?! This thread?!!?

Haha! Is it faire to put and 's around well placed emoticons because those really made me laugh

Thanks for the welcome!

It would be so cool to meet other people as disneyfied as I am! Hehe, perhaps it would help create the illusion of being normal at least for a little while... not that I've ever placed much value on being normal
