Discon - Day 1

[Patinmn]

Well the first Official day of discon is now over, I want to let you know how many wonderful people I met today. We had a great time.

It started out very early this morning with a Krispy kreme run with the gang. We met at Tubbies at the Dolphin resort for KK's and then headed over to the Y&BC for registration.

In the afternoon we met for the Akershus meet where we had a ride on the Maelstom before dinner. The picture below is of 14 Dissers crammed in the boat

Then after waiting for our checks we headed over to the Y&BC for our opening reception, and the pin meet. We finally got to see pete...he does exist and he gave a very moving speech about the DIS and the People who are part of it. We also got a look at the DIS for 2002...can't wait to see the new look.

I can't believe I won one of the door prizes, it is a very nice mickey snow globe. It will lokk great on my mantel at home. Below are picture from the Maelstrom Ride and the opening reception.

Well I have a 7am Character breakfast in the morning.....nite everyone.

Hi Pat!

You should be already going back home by now. I hope you make a safe trip. Please, would you care to e-mail me some of your pictures? I am here at the Wonder and could not help but laugh at the memories of my first Maelstrom trip, made unforgetable by you guys.

Hey Pat, I can't see the pic! I want to see with my own eyes that Livia actually got on another boat ride after her Splash Mt. experience!

UPDATE: I couldn't see the pic when I clicked the thread, just the little red X, but when I posted & looked at my post, the pics were there. Sorry we didn't make it to the boat ride as I had planned, but we would have been unable to get to Dayna's Brown Derby meet in time if we rode Malestrom with you.

Nancy: the Wonder is a pretty big boat. I have confidence that she is not going to drop from five stories high at any minute!

 

[perfectmatch300]

LOL Livia, I meant the Malestrom boat ride, not the Wonder! That one has a bit of a drop, too!
Seriously, I hope you've recovered from Splash! We took off in different directions & we didn't get to see you again after the ride, so I was hoping you had recovered! I want to know how many more times you & Tia went on Splash Mt!

Great report Pat. Very nice pics too!

Nancy, I rode 4 more times. I couldn't get enough of it! LOL Thank you for forcing me (against my will ) to ride it!

Thanks Pat! Nice pictures. It was a pleasure meeting you and Roger. Although, I am still a little jealous about the snowglobe! I was sure it was mine! Oh well, I did win the Mickey flag pin. And I am very happy that you won the globe. You definately deserved it after all the hard work you put into the itinerary!

Hi Pat! That picture of you all in that one boat is hilarious!
And that is a great group photo! Too bad I wasn't holding my Nestle Crunch bar up!
