Are there alot of Dis-ers who live in Birmingham or near? Do you all get together for a meet and greet? I thought that would be fun!! We are about an hour south of B'ham, but we go "into town" all the time! I just thought a meet and greet would be a great idea! Who better than to lunch and chat with than people who share your love of Disney!! What do y'all think?
 
I think there ARE a lot of us, actually, but we've never had a DIS meet, as far as I know. I think it would be fun. If nothing else, we all need to get to the Galleria before the Disney Store closes!

I'm 15 miles east of Birmingham. :)
 
The Disney Store is closing?!?!?! I didn't know! I haven't been to the Galleria in ages!! I'm orignally from Birmingham, but live out in the middle of nowhere now - haha! I think we should do a meet! What do we need to do to get it put together?
 
I am on their mailing list; I got a notification about it last week. It didn't say exactly when, it just said "soon." :guilty:

As for how to plan a meet-up, I think you're doing it already. :)

We'll have to wait for everyone else to wake up and see this thread (lol) and then maybe we can start picking potential dates. Weekday lunches would be easiest for me, but I could do a Saturday or even a Friday night, if that would be good for more people.

The Galleria is a central (and also...let's face it, safe to meet up in) location, and it also has a pretty big assortment of food court restaurants that would let everyone get what they like. Colonial Brookwood Village is also nice, but the food court is much smaller, and of course, there is no Disney Store. Or something else is fine too. I'm too sleepy to think of anything creative at the moment, though - lol.
 

I'm 15 minutes west of Birmingham. :wave2:

We were in the Disney store last week, and they had a sign saying they would be closing on or before 4/24/10. They didn't have very much in the store, but what they did have was 50% off.
 
Fellow Birmingham Diser here. :wave2: My husband and I became hooked on Disney after our first family trip in 2008 and are trying to make it back in 2011.

I live in Vestavia right outside of Bham so anywhere around the area is good.
I think that would be a lot of fun! I'm in! :thumbsup2
 
Are Huntsvillians invited too??:rolleyes1

I'm not sure if I could actually make a meet-n-greet but I love the idea of it! :thumbsup2

Okay party people!! We should set a date for our meet!! Anytime is good for me - Of course May 29-June 6th we'll be at WDW!!! :banana::banana::banana:
 
I'm in Oak Grove, on the western end of Birmingham. I work in Bessemer, but could probably manage a long lunch one day.
 
Count me in! :yay: Count me in! :yay:

I live in Hayden just north of Bham but I work downtown.
 
Well, I am a little south, but I would love to come to a DIS meet, assuming us Central AL folks are welcome. B'ham is only about 2.5 hours north of me. We were up there several times last summer (our rabbit vet is there) and want to come for a weekend to enjoy more of the area.

I had heard that the Disney Store was closing April 30, guess I eon't make it there before it closes. That is so sad, but there is an Outlet in Lawrencville, Ga and a regular store at the Mall of GA we go to occassionally.
