Did you guys end up planning anything? We used to do this all the time when we had a Chicago Disers thread going. It is truly a lot of fun and we even met up to see new Disney movies and stuff like that! I'm up in Northern IL, but we would meet around the Woodfield area and even Lombard sometimes.

Haven't set up anything yet. Hoping too as soon as it warms up abit. Depending on how many people will want to meet up, maybe will get together for coffee or a lunch at first. I'm Annette.

 

[escriven75]

I'm very near O'hare and Woodfield Mall too. I'm in if you guys plan something near there!

 

[PrncessA]

We are basically 15 minutes away from Woodfield as well... I'm all for waiting till it's a bit warmer, but who knows when that will actually happen!

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

Hahahaha, warmer weather.....that is usually on one day and then the next it's snowing or something ridiculous
I'm Michelle by the way
The meets are fun and even coffee is a fun way to get started, sometimes you find you are the only one that makes it and at least if it's something simple like coffee, you don't feel like you just wasted all that time planning or are stuck eating lunch somewhere alone at a massive table.

We started with coffee and have even done mall food court meetups, so that if only a couple people show up, at least there is other stuff to do there or you can decide from there to get lunch.

I am near Six Flags Great America, but am used to traveling around the suburbs so the Woodfield area would be fine too on a weekend My name is Charlotte.

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

I agree on the weekend too, if it was during the week it would have to be around lunch time so that we avoid all traffic as we are all highway to the burbs.

Those were great times, weren't they? We had at least 3 meets a year back then.
