[Luvchefmic]

sorry to hear that Ruthie... Im not sure what time mom and I are leaving to come down, but will call Rebecca to find where they are at.

Glad you saw the post Sha...I sent MetroWest a PM because I saw he posted on a thread early this morning but guess he didn't see it....anyway thanks so much for being here...tell Mom Happy Day & will meet you all very soon ~~ Ruthie

 

[Sha]

yes we will meet up soon am going to start to get ready now...

 

[Metro West]

Sorry guys...I got to Epcot at 9am and waited around until 10am but couldn't find anyone. I guess I wasn't in the right spot to meet up but next time we can plan a little better and make sure everyone knows exactly where to go.

 

[Birdman1511]

what the heck happened? did you guys end up meeting?

 

[DFD]

been up with one of the dogs since about 1 AM.....nothing major to take him to a vet for...but "running" in & out all night.... if things settle down later in the day I will try to make it, not sure, I wouldn't feel right about making the meet this morning. I will console myself that its Moms Day and duty calls for one of the fur-babies......I'll phone one of you at a decent hour in case no one sees this.


Ruthie

Ruthie. I hope all is well with the family....

what the heck happened? did you guys end up meeting?

I know... am still waiting for an updatge...

my ownb update... since I did not make it to the meet... I did some consoling to my sad soul in our backyard park....

 

[Sha]

Rebecca, Diznut66, my mom and I all met up. Sorry that more werent able to meet up. I know we havent all swapped numbers. I knew I was going to be late... but it was nice and very relaxing.

I had a great time yesterday but was sad that we weren't all able to meet.

I sent you a text letting you know that I was running late and that I'd text as soon as I got there. It was about 10:15 once I got inside the park and I sent you a text letting you know. I dont' know what you look like to try to find you yet :

Ruthie, I hope the furbaby is feeling better and that you will consider joining myself and Diznut on 6/5.

Guess what?!!!!! IM NOT ON CALL THAT WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Going to see about a room for a night and see too if my sister wants to go since its new stuff. Park will probably be packed but I dont care... MSELP is back!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes...I got your text later in the day. I don't know why but my phone doesn't like text messages.

That's pretty much how I felt when I was standing by the photo pass woman with thousands of people coming through the gates and not knowing what anyone from the thread looked like. I don't know who's idea it was to meet right inside the gate! I kept walking around but finally I was reduced to asking people if they were meeting message board members. Every one of them thought I was crazy. I was waiting for security to start asking questions. That should never have been a meeting spot...it was impossible to see anyone from just looking at a picture online and trying to spot them out of the hundreds of others. It was very frustrating since I don't know any of you. It sounds like some of the people who DID meet yesterday knew each other. That's great but don't assume we all know what each other looks like.

I'm very excited about meeting locals for park meets...we just need to plan better in the future.

Todd...breathe...relax....this is a stress free zone......FYI I was the one who suggested the place to meet, I still can't think of a better one for EPCOT...suggestions always Welcome...I haven't met anyone in person but most of the people that were planning to meet had posted their pics on this thread.

For those asking, dog is much better thanks for the concern...I can do June 5 th as far as I know and really any day at all (God willing I will have a job by then & may have to limit the days) but I REALLY NEED to go to MK...any feelings on that ?

I think the culprit was the time issue and missed coomunication... correct me if I am wrong but I thought the meeting place will be held at the very front of the Ball where the Photo pass peeps stands for picture(below is last years F&G picture)

which will be a good meeting place in my experience since I have used it one to many times for a dismeet.. it annoyed the shrimp out of the Photopass CM but it worked for us

maybe next time... do a specific bench.. like the bench by Club Cool outside.. theres only on iron bench outside by the right if you are facing Mousegears... or by the steps of Mexico... or by the telephone Phole at the Rose and Crown inside the phonebooth

Wishing more Pixe Power for the next Meet!!!

Sorry Todd... I wouldnt have been much help as I didnt arrive until much later in the morning. And I have know Rebecca for awhile now.

Was looking for an idea of what the park hours would be for the night of the 5th so I could see the new fireworks for summer and MSELP but didnt see anything anywhere.

Diznut66 where did you see that they were bumping it up a day??

 

[Sha]

sounds like a idea. I was thinking even like at Epcot over by the Art of Disney or the round fountain just in front of Space Ship Earth.

Seriously I'm sorry I couldn't make it & I'm sorry there was a miscommunication....Leroy we seem to be talking about the same place..once you get thru the EPCOT turnstiles right there where the photopass photogs are....moot point now....Can I make a suggestion? For the FL Residents general meet..June 26 th ? Yes? Can we please plan to meet at Earl of Sandwich DTD ? This is for the meet for all of us non-park goers and the AP holders ?

Thanks Margaret (nice to see your pic a few pages back) first dog is ok, another dog not so much, they'll be fine just doing the chicken & rice routine around here for a few days, they love to dig & eat dirt so that's the reason probably.....anyway where the heck is everybody lately ...have a wonderful day wherever you all are
