A story of renewed hope & the power of Dis

A little back story.for those who don't already know....I originally met PIO ( PrincessinOz princess::upsidedow) on the games thread of the Dis " Last to Post " a real favorite & I do remember constantly asking her " What time is it there? (Australia) I could never get the time difference straight in my head :surfweb:
:laughing:

To quote her once again ( because I love her AND the phrases she uses ) we met in real life, " in 3D, out of the box ", 3 years ago I will never forget it went to the agreed upon time & place and was on the cellphones she kept saying " Turn around, turn around" and then there we were face to face :hug: and laughing ! This was my first ever DisMeet, there were other people there but we had a friendship already started and this sealed the deal !

When you have such a positive first Dismeet you are open to others and this has brought much joy to my life :cloud9:



I MAY have had some contact back then with Alison on the games too but I don't remember :confused3 hey cut me some slack I am three years older now and I DID fall on my head back in January :lmao: ( I use this as an excuse all the time lately) anyway we lost touch for awhile & it was completely on my end

Fast forward we are back in each others lives and I will never let her go again, she (as many others) is now my sister :grouphug: I also spent the last few months of the planning getting to know Alison better through the computer and then I had seen others around and we connected


and last but not least dear Ed ( SunDial ) we live about an hour away, give or take, and really formed a terrific friendship ( so much in common ) but every time we planned to get together something came up: family needs, work, but mostly horrific rain this summer but this time we were determined the meet would happen !




So I will be sharing with you my meet with Alison & Fran first, then the Dismeet breakfast where we could finally put real people to the Dis User names, the cookout at BCV, and the MNSSHP we went to on October 6 Did I finally meet Ed ?? :rolleyes: I don't know did I ?? we'll see.......
 

Have fun; enjoy your lunch at the Plaza. :)

No mercy :rotfl2: but we do love it here

I remember reading about it in PIOs TR and that was my first introduction to DIS meets, I think you had a big one at the ditch and another at BCV.

I think Leshaface might have been my first DISmeet! :goodvibes you're awesome, we've had some great times even since then! :thumbsup2
 
Popping in to say hi, Ruthie!

Love the Wreck It pics. And I'm eager to hear more about these big DIS meets you have been having. How cool!

I hope you're having a good weekend! Willow and I (and my mom) enjoyed picking out some patterns on sale at Joann's, visiting the pumpkin patch, and going out to lunch. A very nice day here!
 
Once upon a time there were a group of people that " met " on the Disboards Eventually one person brought another into the fold, a Dismeet was planned for October 2013 and So without further delay




I present to you...



... your Dinner
















:p Wait wrong script.....:rotfl: I present to you our Dismeets......





 
First to meet wasFran & Alison at Theme Park Connection A Disney based warehouse of sorts
They had been at the D23 Expo in CA and I understand Fran and Alison scored quite big with item Me, I have been dealing with them over a period of time on eBay and had gone to their warehouse a few times This was a definite " go to" and so we did ! Instant connection with Fran & Alison :goodvibes at Theme Park connection ;) picture previously posted but now it will make sense and picture of some of the goodies I scored there The shirt brand new with tags $38.95 their price $8. !! If you can EVER get to this place its a MUST they have things that are out of my price range but most things are really pennies on the dollar I got a popcorn bucket...I don't need a popcorn bucket but for goodness sakes its PLUTO ! A few Chef Mickey items, more Pluto pins, and Merida bank...all total LESS than the shirt would have been if purchased at WDW :cool1: after this we went our seperate ways, they to lunch and shopping for supplies Hugs/Kisses all around " see you real soon at ( up next) Cape May for Breakfast with some of the others




 
There were many parts to this Oct Dismeet/Re-Meet
