So... anyone going to be down when we are, 12/2-12/11?

We'll be getting in the morning of 11/30 and will leave the morning of 12/4. Less than two weeks to go!

 

[OrlandoMike]

OK girls, enough already! LOL Where are the boys? Did someone say bear? YUM!

But seriously...things down here are great! I might even have to jump on the pool for all of you up there in snow country! Not usually a pool guy after Labor Day but it's been nice lately, and I'm doing the "dirty martini" game! LOL

The "World" has slowed down a little now that "Jersey week" is over, but my location has been slammed, who knows why?

Just wanted to say hi, and as always if you need any "Friends of Dorothy" qustions answered about the area let me know. Hope all of you are well!

And yes, get the memory card, the Lap Top tag along is bad news!

Any chance of meeting up on 12/3 for a drink? We'll be at Epcot, having dinner at the Rose and Crown (6:50) and then catching Illuminations (9:30).

Mike: I'm glad to hear the crowds have thinned. That's a little bit of a relief!

 

[Saxton]

OrlandoMike - keep the temperatures up and the crowds down! I'll need some warm weather - the temp. here dropped from 60 down to the 30's today and we have rain (turning to snow) and very heavy winds. The wind almost took me as I was walking from the parking ramp to my office this morning ... and I wasn't even trying to do my Mary Poppins impression!

Viki - I'll be down 12/3 -12/10, staying at OKW this trip. Maybe we can meet up for a drink (no dirty martini's for me!).

Viki,

Let's plan on it! Would you want to meet up before you guys have dinner, for a drink in the Rose and Crown pub? We're pretty flexible that day, so just let me know!

Hey we will be at Epcot that day!! No plans for dinner, this is one day with no ADR's PS's or whatever they are calling them.
We would love to meet up too.. Just let us know!

Sounds good to me! We can meet either before or after Viki's dinner reservations. Whatever works with everyone

 

[joanjett1976]

Cute! Everyone is pairing off and meeting other dis'ers!!!

 

[Viki]

Cool! Let's all meet (anyone else lurking out there who would like to join us?)

Penny, Sue, and Traci: How about 5:30 PM at Rose and Crown for a drink or two on Saturday, Dec. 3rd? Our ADR is for 6:50, so that should give us a chance to chat. Let me know. We'll be there. There will be 6 of us - even without posted photos, you won't be able to miss us - two caucasian women, mid 40s, two causasian men, early 40s, and two african-american teens, one boy, one girl (16 and 17). One of our guy friends is British so we're happy to be taking him "home" to the Rose and Crown for his first meal at the world!

Mike: Yup, so far, it's an all-girl meet, but the two gay male friends I'm bringing will provide SOME balance!

omg...i figure ill post this here in fear of people bashing one of the greatest guys i know....

i have a friend...his name is matt......he is a senior, i am a freshman. We met in a drama camp for highschoolers and became the best of friends right off the bat. People made fun of him in the camp non stop for being gay. I think thats what makes him...him..and i love him so i wouldnt have him any other way. We were broken hearted thinking we wouldnt see each other...then we found we had acting together in school and were only too happy knowing that we'd still be supporting each other in our acting careers. So the other day he wasnt in school...nothing new..he could graduate right now if he really felt like it..so he doesnt have to come to school Every day. Yesterday he was absent...blown away...there was no way he'd miss two days in a row. So i went to his work after school to see him....and he came in with his DP crying....he was diagnosed with lukimia....wow..shocker for me and him we just held each other and cried....so he came to school today. He didnt have a group to perform with so he made me go....he got to see me one last time..i did my best just for him...and i made sure he would laugh...both knowing it would be for 6 weeks before hed be back...so for the few minutes i had before id be late..we hugged and he said one of the most powerful things that had me crying "you are the only person ill miss too much for words..and i know im the only person who you will hit with a fake imaginary cymbil..but remember keep acting everyday for me...im not gone..just on temporary leave and i need you to keep me in prayers and in your passion...remember that i love you..but i need to get better, so you go off to your froshie classes and i will be back."


and then i cried and we hugged

i miss him to death already and i still have six weeks.....so i want to know if youve ever had a DP with a illness such as this and how did you cope..because his DP and i are still keeping in touch...can you please say a prayre for matt...the greatest guy i know...

Sounds great! I'm looking forward to it. Is it too early to start packing?

Welcome! You might think about Thursday night for Pleasure Island activities. We'll be there that night. If you see us, give us a wave!

And, OK, guys what is up with BEAR thing?

 

[Viki]

Belle, I am very sorry about your friend. I've walked with many friends, family, and parishioners through many serioud illnesses and it's never easy. There isn't any one right thing to say or do, what's most important is that you are there to listen. Hugs are good too! What's really good is that he sounds like a figher with a really good attitude.

Maybe a tad too early to pack but I am definitely shopping, picking up all the odds and ends a girl needs in the World!

 

[OrlandoMike]

Darn guys, I have to work on 12-3 till abut 7:00......anyone meeting for a margarita to catch Illuminations? I could meet ya then. I usually catch them between Mexico and Norway, great view you can get at the last minute after grabbing a Margarita!

Belle, I'm sorry to hear about your friend, but keep in mind, at his age, and with the treatments they have these days, hopefully you should have him home very soon, and you can introduce him to all of us!

Raddyroo - PM me and I can send you directions to a great Bear Bar in Orlando if you have a car. PI is pretty gay on Thrusday nights, but mostly younger Disney employees........you know, the kind that dance in front of the Castle, not really the Bear scene! LOL (If you want to see bear CM's check the boys out on BTMM and Splash!) WOOF

Glad to hear all of you are getting excited about comming down, the Christmas decorations are almost all up!

I just noticed there is a Chat room set up for tonight at 9:00. Are they nuts? Will and Grace is on at 9:30! LOL but anyway, does anyone know how to set one of these up? If so maybe we could all chat live some evening.

Take care all.......

Mike

Hey, Mike, why not come by the Rose and Crown after you get off work? We'll be chilling there a couple of hours and then catching Illuminations from wherever. Meet up with us, pull up a chair, have a cold one, and we'll figure it out.

I have no clue about how to set up a chat, but let's do it!

 

[OrlandoMike]

That works! Everything is better with a cold one........

Heck after a few cold ones I may start telling Disney "war stories!"

LOL
