[Towncrier]

OK.... Finally!... We are in and will be there!... Can't wait to see everyone old and new!... ha!

OK, Colleen.... I paid Fred today..... John was debating back and fourth...ugh!

See all of you soon!

Great news!!! It's been way too long since I've seen you and John. So long, in fact, that your family has an additional member since we last bumped into each other at WDW. See you in July.

 

[Mickey's Sister]

Hi Everyone!

FINALLY got my registration in as well! My 11 year old son & I will be there. Can't wait to meet everyone. We're not staying over though since we live only 30 minutes away (saving every possible cent for our next Disney trip, LOL).

See you all in July!

We will, thank you...Ayup...if Mama taught me anything, it's never to refuse a gift...
I am looking forward to the cruise for a few reasons...

It's truly my once in a lifetime opportunity...
It's Disney, it's gotta be good...
I'm meeting a whole new group of DISers because of this cruise...

Hey John -- yes, it has been a long time. Looking forward to seeing you again. yes, we have an addition -- Thomas... He will be 2 on June 30... Meghan turned 5 on March 22. Wait until you see her!

I am getting all excited now!!!!.... yeah!

Whew!

I thought I missed something! I met Thomas and Meghan last year...I thought you were saying you had #3...

Did you see Lou and his wife are expecting soon? He said she'll be 8 1/2 months along at the July DISmeet.

I can't wait either....

 

[Tanya]

Hey Colleen...

Kids are great but I and John are low on the patience!.... I don't know about having a #3! We met John (Towncrier) in Disney and had a great time... Meghan was 2 1/2, I think.... we were supposed to go when Thomas was a little baby but we didn't make it.... Might go this year...

But... on another note... can't wait to see all of you!...

 

[tiggerwannabe]

My John and I thought about a third...then I babysat my sister's infant while my two were about the ages yours are...that day I KNEW we wouldn't be having a third.

It takes so much out of a person to keep up with the kids...

I now say: I only want as many kids as I have hands to hold them


DH still jokes that he wants a third, I tell him when he can give birth to it, we'll have that third baby

[Merlesgirl]

I'm new here but not new to WDW with too many trips to count and just wanted to say HI!

I also need a weekend away and registered and sent my money order in last week for the Allentown weekend meet. So I hope to meet some new nuts like me and have a great time.

 

[tiggerwannabe]

Yay!

Welcome to the DIS!!!

If you've been on the fence as to whether or not you want a room at the hotel for the night of the meet, perhaps I can help make that decision a little easier for you.

Im out then! I booked on the internet since they were offering the same price at the time as the group rate and free breakfast....guess I will miss out on the chance to win!

 

[Majestic]

Wow...I am kinda floored here. The whole time I was told by the hotel that we were getting a discounted room rate.

Did anyone else book online? Not trying to be difficult but if you did you are hurting my minimum booked room count which could cost me. (I based the minimum on the initial pre-registration which showed we would need between 30 and 45 rooms)

Please let me know if you did so I can let the hotel know and see if they can do anything?

Thanks,

Fred

Fred,
Im so sorry that we (my mom and I ) Helped to mess with your count.
I actually misspoke before, Im paying 104.00 for my room and it includes breakfast for myself and my guest, mom is paying the group rate for her room, which is what was quoted on the site.

Let me know if you would like me to switch to the group rate to help you out.

Thanks!

 

[Majestic]

Stacey, if you reservation numbers, can you email them to me please? I may just be able to have them added to the room count.

Hi Fred,
I have both mine and mom's confirmation numbers and I will PM them to you.

 

[Towncrier]

I booked online some time ago for less than the $89 group rate. I wasn't trying to screw up the group rates, but I don't believe that I counted myself in your initial list of people that were going to book a room.

 

[Majestic]

Can I also have your reservation number please?

Thanks!

[BernardandMissBianca]

Hey Fred,
We booked over the phone on 5/31 using the Disney Fan Gatherings info you gave us. Do you need our confirmation number?

 

[sjh801]

Hi Fred!
I just finished both the hotel reservations by phone and sent the PayPal. We are now officially in your number-myself (sjh801), my sister(cvemom) and my niece.

See everyone in July.
