20031101--Pittsburgh Meet--INDEXED

[KathyFP]

Has there ever been a Pittsburgh Meet????

 

[disneyluvers]

I'm wondering too. It would be a great way to meet fellow disers and still get home to take care of my boys (and cats.. I can't forget the cats.)

I haven't been around too long, but I don't recall seeing any info about a meet since I've joined the DIS. I know of quite a few Pittsburghers on the DIS. Maybe someone can pick a Saturday and a mall with a Disney store and we can all get together!

I vote for Ross Park Mall or South Hills Village!

Pittsburgh meet??? Hmmm... not too terribly far away from here Even if there has been one before, I think it's probably time to try for another

 

[Ranatra]

There hasn't been a Pittsuburgh meet since I've been on the DIS. (3 years) We kept talking about having one, even got to the planning stages once, but it fell apart for lack of interest. It seems we have a lot more Pittsburghers now, so maybe we can get one together. I love the idea of Ross Park Mall!

 

[Trish5768]

Count me in if we do-That would be awesome, even better than being tagged!

 

[Pam]

I could handle the Ross Park Mall!!

 

[shamrock bunch]

Ross Park wouldn't be bad for me either. Maybe November 1st?

 

[Towncrier]

Pittsburgh??? Is that somewhere near Cleveland???

I'll come to your Pittsburgh meet if some of you promise to come to my Memorial Day picnic.

 

[Dan Murphy]

Is that close to Chicago??

 

[helenabear]

Is this mall easy to find???

I think the 1st might work for me... might drag DH along too. Any other days to throw out (just in case)?

 

[The LK 4]

Everything is close to Pittsburgh if you buy a plane ticket!

TC - your Memorial Day meet may be a possibility for us in 2004....

 

[helenabear]

John & Dan... my answer is the same for you both...

It's close enough

 

[The LK 4]

Elaine, the mall is very easy to find. Of course, you will be driving on the turnpike and getting off at my exit anyway, so we'll drive down together!

I guess the 8th could be an alternate date, but let's see how the interest is for the 1st at Ross Park Mall?


edited to add: another bonus reason to come on the 1st is that maybe the Disney Store will be having a huge Halloween sale that day!

 

[helenabear]

LK, I like the way you think!!!! I need to get a rough idea of how long it will take me to get there... I am guessing three hours though. But couldn't miss this one!!!

 

[Towncrier]

Easy to find? In Pittsburgh?? We are talking about the Pittsburgh that's in Pennsylvania, aren't we?

I've gotten seriously lost in Pittsburgh on at least a couple of occasions. I guess that I'm just accustomed to all the straight roads in NE Ohio.

Do you have an address for the mall that I could plug into Microsoft Streets & Trips?

***** UPDATE *****

I answered my own question. I found a link to Ross Park Mall:

[helenabear]

See John, that's why should be like me... drive so far and then just bum rides the rest of the way

 

[Towncrier]

That's how I got to Indianapolis a couple of years ago. I bummed a ride with Marla. Maybe Dan can pick me up on the way from Chicago to Pittsburgh.

We did have a Pgh meet a few years ago, it was mostly pin collectors from the collectors board. Because of having folks come in from Ohio and NY area we had it at Max and Erma's by Exit 3 of the Pa. turnpike that was about the easiest place for folks coming in from the west, the city area , and those coming from the north . easy access on and off the turnpike, and I-79 We even got to celebrate Epcotkilterfan's birthday with a great cake thanks to her mom!!!!!! think we ended up having around 20 there.

can't make it on the 1st , will be in WDW
but maybe another time.
