Dapper Days in September - anyone else thinking of going?

I am okay with 8p.m. but I can definitely do 5 p.m. if that is a possibility for the group - We have dinner reservations at 5:50 at Carthay so we'd have time to meet beforehand and assuming the meet was at GCH just enter the park from the hotel closer to our dinner time. We'd likely be coming from our hotel freshen up at that time as well :) Honestly, other than a hair appointment at noon at the styling suite, and dinner, my husband and I have no concrete plans for the day. We just plan to enjoy our time alone together :love:
 
i really really want to meet up but i will be doing a dress change in the afternoon for my evening wear and the soonest i think ill be ready is 7. i will be at the mice chat meet at 7 at DCA then my DH wants to check out the fireworks . If i cant make it to the meetup i would love to see everyone during the night. i wish i could wear something so you would know im a disboarder ? disboardean ? lol ...something anyway when the time is set ill try to be there and if not look for the girl with the dark purple lace dress that's super poofy with the 6 foot 6 bearded husband with a green shirt and black vest.
 

He sounds scary.

On a lighter note...Is there a way to set up that social media/face space/twatter thing for real time updates?

I believe that's against the rules of the boards (or at least frowned upon).

Mary Jo can you make a call on this??
 
I vote for 5:00ish or earlier also, so it doesn't interfere with dinner plans or the other meets. We're planning on changing into evening wear also but could do that around 4:00 before we meet.:)
 
Ok, I called the GCH and asked about places we could meet. They said HSL shouldn't be too crowded (I have my doubts about that) and that we could hold spots there if we wanted to. They also said no one is using the Brisa Courtyard area and we could meet there. The balconies that look down on the lobby are really nice IMO, so maybe if HSL is too crowded we could head up there or out to Brisa. The guy I talked to didn't know anything about the outdoor balconies. We arrive on Thursday morning so I can check on all of that.

I'm a little stumped about time. 5 seems good except my friends and I were planning on eating (among other things) at Trader Sam's and hoping to get there early enough to find a spot, so do you think that timing would work?

Will the Dapper Day people be using the convention area all day? That's also a nice area that's away from things usually.

Mary Jo, look forward to seeing you again!!! It has been a while!

The Brisa Courtyard, is that the area near the convention space where the Monorail passes through?? Far, far from any booze and/or snacks. :rotfl2:

It would be a nice quiet spot though. Can we get a waitress? ;)
 
We leave tomorrow morning so I'll be checking the boards constantly for updates on a meet time , we are staying at the DLH until Saturday.

I'm looking forward to finally meeting some of the wonderful people here.
 
We arrive on Friday and are staying at the DLH until Monday. Dapper Days also coincides with my children's birthdays, and Grandma, who just beat cancer is flying out as well. This will be a great celebration! My son (turning 4) is very excited about Dapper Days. Everyone but me is wearing white shirts, bowties and suspenders with newsie hats. I have a dress and a fancy hat clip on as well. Please don't laugh at our shoes - we are going comfortable (my guess is my daughter will be wearing her Converse)! We may not be full on Dapper, but we will be in Dapper spirit! I can't wait to see everyone dressed up!
 
Holy cow, it's supposed to be HOT!! Be prepared, everyone, for temps in the high 90s! I'm not sure my crinoline is going to be part of my outfit now, LOL.

What do you guys think about having our DIS meet at 5 pm at DLH, near Trader Sam's (like on the terrace deck or by the outdoor fireplace)? That means good options for appetizers and drinks as well as lots of nice outdoor area. My friends mentioned this as a good option since we were planning on being there anyway :rotfl2:

But I'm open to whatever. And no, that's not a relative of whoever :rotfl:

Edited to add: I just realized that 5 PM at 95+ degrees outdoors at TS's is probably not a great idea. Let's stick with Hearthstone Lounge!
 
Weathebug is showing low 90s starting Thursday and warming from there.
I'd suggest somewhere with A/C for folks in DD outfits.

Me - I'm doing t-shirt & shorts lol

Good thinking, Andy! I'm mentally stripping layers from my outfit, LOL.

Ok, everyone! Let's meet in Hearthstone Lounge at 5PM on Friday!
 
I have to work on Friday from 4-8:30, so I can't make the meet. But I would love to hang out with you guys earlier in the day!
 
Wow, I'm exhausted from all your decision making DizMe!:lmao: How will we know who's part of the gang when we get there??
