20050511-Epcot DIS Meet-May 11, 4pm, Canada!

Hey Liz! Great idea, but.......WAY TO SCREW UP MY ITINERARY!!!!! :p

Seriously, thanks so much for the PMail, I have no idea how I missed this thread! I have Epcot planned for the 11th, but just for the morning, then we were going to head over to MGM. I REALLY want to make the meet though, so I'm going to see if I can switch things around and go to MGM in the morning.

It will be me and my five year old daughter... can't wait to meet everyone!

Nietra, it'll just be me and my five year old niece princess:, maybe they can play together amoungst all the little boys that are coming! LOL!
 
Hi guys! I'm so happy to see more of you will be joining us! And I hope those of you not sure will be able to make it. :wizard: :wizard: :wizard:

I will definitely have atleast a couple of us wearing lime green. I know my dh and my 5 yr old both have solid lime green t-shirts, so I'll have them wear those. I have to check my closet and see if I have any lime green tops. I will have lime green bandanas wrapped around each of our stroller handles too.

We will be there at 3:30 to watch Off Kilter, so come sit with us if you see us. Here's the Off Kilter website in case anyone doesn't know who they are: http://www.offkilter.net
If you get there before the show ends...just follow the sound of the bagpipes... :hyper: :rockband: :hyper:

11 days till our meet!! :cool1: :cheer2: :cool1:

AWESOME... she will be so ready to play with another little girl after hanging out with mom all weekend!
 
Thank you, liznboys, for setting this up! I'll be there with my DD (she's CheezDoodle on the DIS) and maybe DH (if he can fit it in around his nap schedule :rolleyes: ).

It will be so nice to meet some fellow DISers! :sunny:
 
We are going to try and reschedule the day to be there - my mom is flying home that day (she didn't think she could handle all 8 days but now I know she is sad :confused3 that she is leaving before us - oh well!). Hope to see you all - thanks for organizing this meet!

Also - thanks to whom ever gave the tip regarding the lime green at Kohls - going tomorrow to get my tee!

I can't belive we leave in 6 1/2 days!!!!!!!!!!I'm so excited - oh my gosh - I still have to pack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :crazy:
 
well, just a short stroll away from BWV, so I don't see why not!
We'll be 3 and maybe pick up a 4th, so expect a gaggle of girls in lime green shirts or visors to see Off Kilter....Does 3:30 seem like time enough to get a seat? Or maybe we could get a 'group' seating roped off area! Plan Big, that's what I always say.

The show starts @ 3:30 - if you want to get a seat, you should be there probably 15 to 20 minutes before! :goodvibes

That would be great if we could get a DISer section roped off! :scratchin

:disrocks:
 
Morning all! Glad to see some more of you will be joining us! :):)

ColoradoBelle1-As RachelTori said, the Off Kilter show begins at 3:30, so you definitely want to get there before that!! I think we will try to get there at 3:15 and hopefully get a seat. Having a DIS section would be wonderful! I have no clue how one would go about doing that though, or if it's even possible?!

There are very few seats at the Off Kilter stage so I doubt that there'd be any way to get a section of seating. I usually sit on the ground and leave the seats for others who may need them (older folks, pregnant women, families with babies, etc.) I think it's more fun to sit/stand in the middle of the seating area anyway. I sometimes also like to sit near the stage to one side or the other, leaving the middle section right in front of the stage for the cute little kids that like to dance there! :banana:

It's not that big of an area, so wherever or however we decide to sit, I don't think we'll have much trouble finding each other and staying together.

Hey Kaycee! Thanks. Yeah, I guess it isn't that big of an area... We sat there and had a snack on our Feb. trip. Off Kilter wasn't playing that day so it was empty.

I can't wait to see Off Kilter again, we haven't seen them since March 2003. We love their music, even bought one of their cd's from the little souvenir spot there in Canada. :cool1: I wonder if they ever take pictures or sign autographs?
 
I just love Off Kilter - I've got two of their CD's. And during the solo portion of my December trip, I lost count of how many shows I watched, lol.

The guys are great about signing autographs and posing for pictures. They hang around after the shows for this, and they're really so, so nice. When I was solo, I didn't approach them after the shows because there were always other fans talking to them, but since we'll be in a group it should be really fun to get a group pic with them after the show.

OMG Kaycee, that's so cool!! I hope they will stick around after our show!!!! :wizard: :wizard: :cool1: :cool1:

Hi, Kaycee. The band seems like a very friendly band group. I bet that they would love to take a group picture. I have always seen them stick around to shake hands and talk and answer questions and sign autographs. And if you bring your own camera, I'll ask for you if you can have your own individual picture with who ever you want to take a picture in the group. Then you can bring it back to have it autographed by them, too.

I know what you mean about the small seating area. It is so nice of you to sit on the side to let the others sit on the benches. I don't think that I could ever get back up...lol.

FYI, if you haven't seen the area before, it is a cute little stage area on the left side of the Canadian pavilion. I think there is a small wall lining the right side, where many people like to sit. And I think on the left side is a row of scrubs and trees. I'm not sure, but I think that there are four or five rows of benches on each side and a large open space up the middle and in the front. Those kids do love to dance up front...lol.

There are two to four large umbrellas over the benches for sun shade.

I sometimes like to ride my scooter up to back of the last row under one of the umbrellas.

I see a lot of people standing in back of the benches. They even stand all the way back to the lake against the fence to listen and watch the band.

And Kaycee, a lot of nice visitors like you, sitting on the ground on the side or up the middle.

This sounds like a wonderful DIS meet.

And you don't have to wear lime green if you don't want to. I'll be wearing my lime green DIS t-shirt just so you can see where one of the DISers are located. Usually, most people don't have lime green to wear, and that is O.K.. But some will be wearing some lime green something. You might see a lime green ribbon pinned to a shirt or backpack. Or a lime green t-shirt, fanny pack.

If you are shy...I'll tell you a trick. Just hang back and watch all the DISers laughing and talking. And if you don't think that we are too crazy, then you can walk right up and say hello and introduce yourself. Then you can say that you have been to your first DIS meet. Then you can start your own DIS meet anywhere.

But if you are wearing lime green, I'm going to ask you if you are from the DIS...lol. Even though it seems like so many people are wearing lime green now a days.

Two years ago, many of the singers in the December Epcot Christmas Processional wore special lime green t-shirts when they were just out visiting the parks. I didn't meet one of them that knew about the DIS...lol. But some of them said...that someone else had stopped them and asked the same question...lol.

Isn't it amazing that a bunch of people get together to enjoy the one thing that we both have in common and that is the love of DISney. Whoops...I mean Disney...lol.

And if you would like me to take a picture with your own camera of you with the group and with another friend that you have made on the DIS or with one of the band members, just let me know. I'll be the fellow in the scooter. But I can walk around. I just use the scooter for walking long distances.

Now don't be too shy...show up even if you are lurking here and come by and say hello.

Sincerely, Ray

OK - that's a VERY good question!!! Liz - what do we do IF it rains?!!!

If it's a *shower* we'll probably just wait it out. If it turns out to be an all day rain...... Liz? What do you think?!
