I have a question... What do you guys do at a TA conference?

 

[ACDSNY]

Hope everyone has a great time. Your schedules make me want to become a TA after I retire. My friends and family always use and abuse me by having me set up their Disney vacations...I just don't get paid for it.

Colleen,

I would have loved to go on the Studio Tour but I decided to cancel because my husband Gary who is going with me on this trip will already have had to sit out almost three days while we "conference." I just know it's going to be one of the best parts of the conference. Four others in our group are going, I'm the only one who is sitting it out.

Now what about that brief little get together? Doesn't anyone besides me want to at least try to pull one off?

 

[always quiet]

I understand about not wanting to ditch your DH. Last summer, my family and were in WDW for 2 weeks and the conference fell right in the middle of it. The only extra event I did was the Keys tours on the first day. I didn't do any of the other ones as they weren't allowed to come.

The meet sounds good....we'll have to try and find a spot. I bet I know where we'll all end up between the break out sessions....the ladies room! I remember last year waiting in line to get in!! Funny, there is never a line at the men's room! Not asking......................

Think this is where we'll be??

Funny you should say that about the restroom. I originally had two lines in my message that suggested we get together against the wall across from the ladies restroom but I took it out. How about the second break at 2:50 on 09/16 somewhere around the Neverland pool? Some landmark around the pool should work, I just don't know what all there is.

 

[always quiet]

We might need to see how far the pool is as we only have a 1/2 hour break....time to find a map!

I think this is more like what WDW had last year with the separate rooms for the break out sessions!

When did all of you register that you were able to get the studios tours and the suite tours. I registered the first day but in the evening and everything was on a wait list already. When they later opened up the suite tour on the 13th I got an email and was able to get on it but the ones for 14th and 15th were all waitlisted the first day. this is my first time going so didn't realize those tours would book by the first day. Always learning something!!!!!
I would love to have a get together. Just let me know.
Thanks
Linda

Personally, I booked all these on day one...by 9am EST! As soon as I saw the studios tour, I knew that was going to go FAST! Never dreamed it would of gone so soon though!

 

[wsapooh]

So??? Did everyone enjoy the conference? I sure did!

 

[always quiet]

I had an awsome time!

Some highlights:

Riding CA Screamin' at night!

Listening to the music and stories of Richard Sherman. He is a real treasure.

Ryan's 21st birthday! Better keep him away from Iwanna now!

Bryan Dodge's breakout session.......he was the best of the group in my opinion.

Oh yeah...........the free cruise!!

 

[lindym]

I loved it, especially being my first time. Can't wait to go back.

Highlights:

Ryan's 21st birthday and all the highlights and days surrounding it!!!!!!!!

Riding Toy Story Mania over and over again.

Richard Sherman - how fantastic was that?

Listening to Susan Egan sing.

The knowledge from the General Sessions and the breakout sessions.

Of course, the FREE CRUISE.

 

[lindym]

anyone else???????

 

[toribelle]

Hey LindyM were you at my table for dinner on Tuesday night?
Ryan was at our table.

I totally enjoyed the whole thing. I agree Bryan Dodge was awesome and really got those brains thinking.

TSMM was great we rode it 7 times.

 

[lindym]

Yes, I would have been at your table then if Ryan was at it.

 

[toribelle]

I was the one with the long black hair, you might have been sitting next to Alan.

 

[lindym]

I was sitting between Ryan and an empty chair until our District Sales Mgr came and sat next to me.
What a great time!!!!!!!!

 

[disneyleslie]

so did everyone get a free cruise - was it for one or two - I'm so envious - i've never gone to this - we were at disneyland the last week of august to take my oldest to college so i didn't feel right about flying back out there a couple of weeks later - I've always wanted to go to this though.
