Chicago Area DIS meet DEC 7th!

[Nooshkin]

Hi Everyone!

I've been talking to Geef and Lugnut33 about putting together another DIS Meet. We'd love to see everyone who came to the June meet, and of course it would be great to meet more DIS-ers!

Once again Disney's Doorway to Dreams, the DVC store at the Woodfield Mall, would like to host us. Those of you who attended in June know how fun it was and how nice the Doorway to Dreams cast members were. We had a presentation and a tour of the models of the AKL villas, refreshments, pin trading and a general pixie dust fix! If you hunt around, there's a great "trip report" with pictures and comments from the meet. (I'm sure someone can provide the link!)

This time Doorway to Dreams would like to host a breakfast meet for us, before the store opens. (We're thinking around 9am ish on a Sunday.)

WHEN: Sunday, December 7th, 9am-ish
WHERE: Disney's Doorway to Dreams, Woodfield Mall, Schaumburg IL
Who: Come alone, or bring your family! Of course, kids are welcome!
Why: Because it will be fun! The DVC store will be festive, with it's holiday decorations. Also, the new Bay Lake Tower Models will be open by then!

The other date option was December 14th - but we know some people will be at Mousefest. (Take me! )

Don't be intimidated about going to the Mall in December! We'll be arriving before the other stores open so parking will be easy. After the meet, you can go Christmas shopping or visit Santa. (There is a Disney Store in this mall.) And if anyone has an idea for anything else, please feel free to suggest it! For example, if anyone wants to shop after the meet, then meet up later for lunch, speak up!

For now I need an idea of who's interested. I have to give the DVC store a general headcount. Please comment on this thread if you are interested so that I include you in the count!

I hope to see you there!

Man, I'd love to go but am going on Nov 22nd. I'll see if I can pull it off though chances are I'd have to drive in alone and come back the same day.

 

[BriarRosie]

Woot! I'd love to go again. I didn't get a chance to see the models a few weeks ago, so it's nice to have them in my own "backyard".

I'm glad you didn't pick the following weekend, because I'd still be in California that day.

 

[GabbyMom]

If I'm not working that day I'd love to.

 

[tiggerbell]

I can't believe this - I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to attend - but I'll be in EPCOT that day!!!

Doesn't my life just suck?

 

[Michele]

I'll keep watching this thread to see which day you decide on. I'm going to be at Woodfield either Nov 22 or Dec 14, so there's a tiny possibility these might coincide.

My dates will be determined by the outcome of IHSA football playoff games.

 

[Geef]

I can't believe this - I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to attend - but I'll be in EPCOT that day!!!

Wow your life is horrible... having to give up a day at a mall getting to look at a video of WDW and a pretend hotel room.
I sure feel bad for you... having to spend the day in EPCOT.

We'll be thinking of you suffering through the day

Geef

 

[aaronmckie]

The wife and I will definately be there
Maybe we'll bring our son this time... we'll see

If it gets changed - I can do any other Sunday until May 10th, when I'm back in Florida! (Podcast Cruise!)

 

[SamIAm21]

I live in the south burbs and I didn't attend the earlier meet, but I think I would like to come to this one and meet everyone! I can't be 100% sure at this time as it is the holidays and it might be hard to get out of family obligations, but I would like to come very much!

 

[winotracy]

I wish I could come but I'll be somewhere at sea! Yes, another cruise for me Sorry I'll miss you guys.

 

[GabbyMom]

Have a great time Tracy

 

[A.Mickey]

Like Aaronmckie, said we will be there . See you guys soonish

 

[maiziezoe]

I'll be there! I'll probably bring one or two of my kids.

 

[TyRy]

Thanks to Geef for the heads up - I'm in for this one...I may even try and get DH to attend (plus then I can get him to head to the mall and buy my birthday present )

[Disneynut71]

Thanks Geef for letting me know...yes we will be there. I haven't been to Woodfield in a while.

I will have at least one of my kiddies with me.

 

[jeanigor]

That sounds great! Chicago isn't exactly in my backyard, but it is way closer than Orlando. I'll put it in my calendar, please mark 2 down as strong possibilities, myself and Namine.
