DIS/DISUnplugged/Dreams December Event Info DISapalooza

[georgemoe]

I'm confused about the date. I'll let George/Jorge respond. I was thinking Thursday night.

The reservations are Kathy's and it's her home resort, so I have no idea about the requests. I'm excited to stay at SSR because I never have though. We stayed at the old Disney Institute once - pre-SSR.

Hi Dodie.

Thursday night pretty much has to be it for a pre-DAP get together. This of course is for folks who are only staying Thu-Fri-Sat nights.

Friday as we know is DATW, and Saturday is "The Party". Really no other night but Thursday.

My plan if for Osbourne Lights on Thursday night and after that I'm open to meet anywhere. Yeehaa Bob is Stacy's idea (her list) and I think it's a good one. Deb and I really enjoyed him when we stayed at POR in May 08. He plays until 12 or 12:30.

I think the last boat from POR to DD is 11PM and then a walk or boat from DD to the SSR. I'm probably wrong on times, etc; so that will need to be double checked. Deb and I will grab a cab back to VWL.

...

Will I fit in as a solo traveler? I'd rather not to drink alone, however I will drink with strangers!

Will any of you be my friend?

We'll all hang out with you during DAP - it's what the whole thing is all about. And I'm happy to say, we are already your friends and you can't get rid of us.

You know...That's what made last year's Mousefest so much fun. Just hanging out with everyone and getting to know each other. We seemed to flow from event to event and had a lot of fun along the way!

A lot of us are going "solo" and just meeting up when we get there. It's like a collection of solos... You'll be fine! Like Tonya & Aaron said, it's all about meeting everyone, hanging out together & making new friends.

Wow, I'm just getting thrown under the bus all around here.

We enjoyed Bob, also. We got back to our resort and were dead on our feet tired. And, we decided to stop by to see. The girls LOVED him. He was very entertaining.

I have been trying to get DH to go to DAP without much luck.

He is not really a Disney fan and has no desire to hang out with my "imaginary" friends. I thought If I got him to DAP he would have such a good time he would want to go on cruise 2.0

I will keep working on him!!

I just got a pin for free dining in Dec. sooo I requested a quote from Dreams for the POP.

Will I fit in as a solo traveler? I'd rather not to drink alone, however I will drink with strangers!

I went on PCC 1.0 as a solo traveler, not knowing a soul face to face. (Except Shanan & Jason, whom I met at Doorway to Dreams in December.)

I am going again as a solo traveler to DAP, kinda. I know that as soon as we find another DISer, we will no longer be solo. My DAP trip I will only be solo for the first hour or so, then I meet a DISer at the airport and we fly to Orlando, tiaras and valiums in hand.

So like Cougar Kat said: YES, BOOK IT!!!

 

[goofybeagle]

Oh, I must say I am so excited!!! First I got my DH to go on Podcast cruise#2 and now I am going to Dis-A-Palooza!!!. I got a friend to travel down with me from Saturday the 12th -16th. Working on DVC reservations..........I'll have to miss the first day BUT I get to go to the party on Saturday and the live podcast recording!!!!!

I look forward to meeting other disers and the podcast team

She confuses thrown under the bus for not stealing her thunder.

Looks like we have something going here.

Okay, do we want a new thread for Yeehaa Bob? Also, do we want a thread going this early identifying everyone's itinerary? I know we are still waiting to hear the official word, but it also looks like some people have some plans in place already as well.

Maybe so - but we'd need a target time. Personally, I've never seen the Osbourne Lights - so I don't know how late that would be for George and Deb. (I'd kind of like to see them, but understand that it gets crazy crowded.)

I'd say ok to the Yehaa Bob http://yehaabob.com/about.html thread.

It only took 2 mojitos- DH is *IN* for DAP.

I think we're either staying at POR (which would make things sooo much easier post- yeehaw Bob) or WL.

I think it works fine Dodie. Osbourne Lights start around dusk (6:00 or so) and run every 15 minutes until park closing. After about an hour or so you've pretty much covered it all. Yehaa Bob starts at 8:30 and we just bus it from DHS to POR. Plenty of time to take in both and then some.

Welcome to the frey!

I still haven't decided where I"m staying, but I'm going to be booking soon. I'm going to try to stay near other single travelers so we can get together easier and hang out. I'm leaning towards Beaua Vista Suites right now.

If you are here long enough, you will become someones wife...so be careful.

We're all one big happy family. Welcome! I'm sure many of the solo travellers, and non-solo travellers, will be hanging out together during DAP! You are certainly welcome to join us.

Last year we shared cell phone numbers. As DISers flew in they'd call and we knew they were at Disney World. We told them where we were going and we met. It worked out great.
