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

[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!

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.

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.

 

[Dan Murphy]

Lots of people coming for MouseFest days!!!!

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

 

[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.

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.

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!!! 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 ) 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!!!

 

[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

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.

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

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.
