ABD Backstage Magic - Summer 2010 Edition!

[NitroStitch]

Thanks again for all the well wishes. I was able to eat today...which made me feel so much better!!! I'm still taking it easy but am going to attempt work tomorrow. I may make it a half day though.

I can't believe we only have 19 days. I've got to start the to-do list and get the suitcase out.

Congratulations on being able to eat! Sometimes it's the little things that make such a big difference. Take it easy and low key as much as you can tomorrow...

Hi folks!

I thought I would chime in on your thread and let you know that I will be trying to meet up with some of y'all during your visit. I have at least one member of my FE group for 2.0 on the trip (Chrysty), DAP buddy, Kristen, and a good friend in from Switzerland (Jen) that I would love to see.

Looks like with the timing of the trip, the best time for me to meet up with y'all is when you are in Hollywood on either Sunday night after the Welcome party (folks went off to Hollywood and Highland afterwards, from what I remember last time) or on the Monday free night, as I work in Hollywood and live just over the hill in Burbank. Since most of ya'll are going home on Friday, I might miss you at DL.

You guys will have a blast! See you in a couple weeks! If you need any advice or have any local emergencies, Feel free to PM me and let me know.

Nancy: I'd love to meet up on either of the nights you suggested. Let's see who else would like to join and then we can firm up plans.

18 days...

Depending on how late Sunday night goes or on Monday's free evening, that sounds fun - we aren't really sure what to do in Hollywood yet anyway.

ABD Chat tonight at 8:00pm.

See you there.

 

[scrappinDW]

I can't be at chat tonight. I have to work and save my vacation hours, but have fun. Let me know if I miss anything good.
One question I have is...does Disneyland have any characters that WDW doesn't have? Pam

 

[nmoore14]

I enjoyed chatting with everyone tonight. We have two weeks to go!

 

[ImTooExcitedToSleep]

By the way...

Is anyone (other than Pete & Walter) extending the Disneyland portion of their trip??

I'll be in the Parks Friday evening through Sunday afternoon and would love to meet up with any DISers that are still around.

Ok. Here's the plan:

Unofficial DIS Meet
Saturday, July 31st, 2010
La Brea Bakery in Downtown Disney (near the bag check)
2:00pm

I would say "More details to follow", but there really aren't any.

Hope to see some of you there.

Is this a regular event? I absolutely can't go this summer, but sounds like it's a tremendous experience, especially with all of the VIP treatment you get. Would love to go if it comes around again.

Pete has mentioned that there would be other opportunities coming up...I don't know that he said that there would be this specific ABD trip with fellow DISers though.


Sorry I missed chat last night. I made it to work yesterday but came home and crashed last night. I'm still not feeling tip top. Hope you guys had a blast. Will there be a chat the remaining Thursday nights leading up to the trip?

Hope you continue to feel better - make sure you get lots of rest and take care of yourself!

I think Kevin said there would be one more chat before we go.

I enjoyed chatting with those who made it to chat last night! We're getting so close to our departure date!

I'm sorry you're still not feeling that great - take extra good care of yourself this weekend!! Totally understandable to just crash when you got home - being sick takes a lot out of you. More important to feel better and be ready to have a great time in California, and we have one more chat before we leave.

Mary and I should be able to make it, sounds like fun. Can't wait to meet you!! Pam

Awesome!

 

[nmoore14]

I should be able to join the group at downtown Disney

We leave late Friday night, so we won't make that meet. Have fun y'all!

 

[WebmasterPete]

Two weeks and counting!!!! Not that I'm excited or anything

I think everyone should do me a huge favor and post pictures of themselves so I can start getting used to your names now. On the last trip, it took me all week to remember everyones name, then it was time to leave I'm so bad with names, it's scary.

Pete

 

[scrappinDW]

Good idea Pete. I am bad at names too, but I hate putting my picture up or even having it taken. It is on facebook though, me and mickey and my husband so it is little.
I was wondering, what should we call your Mom? We can't call her Pete's Mom.
I am glad she is coming along. Pam

Good idea - I'm terrible with names too, so it ought to help to associate names, faces and webnames all at once before we meet in person.

Nancy: would you like to meet on Sunday night after our introductory dinner?

Who all is planning on joining us?
