Never been to one without children. I am sure there will be.

This weekend I will start a list of who will be attending on the 10th (maybe next weekend for the later meet) will say 7pm outside Gurgling Suitcase again same as last years meets.
Will also add pics so we all know who we are looking for, I will take as many as poss from last years thread unless anyone posts new.

I have updated 1st post now, list of who will be there and added some pics. Please let me know if anyone wants, adding, removing or pics adding.

Hi Wayne - what's the best way to get a photo to you to add to the first post? Just send you a photobucket link?

Just post it on here I will add it to 1st post.

Right Wayne, here's my pic for the first post.

It's not Disney, but it'll do

Added that no problem, just logged into VA, 200 days to our flight

Will try to post a pic of the three of us, if I can overcome my computer illiteracy, lol. Would it be ok to invite a non DIS member? I have a german friend who will be working at Epcot at this time, and she'd love to join us.
Carl.

 

[wayneg]

No problem Carl, bring along whoever you like, we could have relatives with us, not sure yet.
Kenny has a guide to posting pics somewhere, if you struggle let me know I will find it.

 

[dynamite100]

Ok, let's give this a try.

This is me (Carl/dynamite100), my fiancee (Philippa), and my son (Lewis).

 

[wayneg]

Got the pic Carl, for some reason its a little large(maybe its just my small screen at work) so I edited it and made it a little smaller before adding to 1st page.

 

[dynamite100]

It's not just you Wayne, looks big to me too. Best I could do. Thanks for reducing it for me

Ok, completely off topic, but I know you are familiar with OKW, Wayne, so thought I would ask (and anyone else who knows the resort too, would love to hear your opinions). I know that you can't specify a particular building on your reservation, but I was wondering where at OKW people consider is the best place to be. Our preferences are for a quiet area of the resort, possibly near one of the small pools (though this is by no means essential), and possibly somewhere with a nice water view. I was thinking somewhere down in the bottom right corner of the resort might suit us, down near where the path heads off to SSR and DTD?

2009 we were in building 55 with water view.
2010 building 19 non water view.

Both very close to smaller pools. I would be very happy to be in either room again

Pics from 2009 building 55.

Inside but I think they will all be refurbed before this summer.

Great pics, thank you.

Good morning everyone I would like to add myself to the list if that is ok , never been to a Dismeet so we are really going to try and make it . There will be myself , DH , DS (14) and my parents would that be ok . I will try and post a photo later

sorry Wayne but cannot make it this year, unless someone can pick us up on the way through (the uk that is ). Sadly cannot afford a trip this year, have car to buy and a garage roof !

Added you to the list, no problem with parents, bring along anyone you like, more the merrier.

I didn't mind picking you up from DTD but the UK is a bit far I am putting off buying a new car again, usually swap every 2-3 years, this is longest we have kept one for a long time, it will be 5 years old in March.
