Welcome to the DIS, honey! It's about time you joined us!

 

[LasOlas]

please let me know.

All the lab work on our cat came back clear, so no telling what her deal was. She has been fine for the past 5 days. Maybe it really WAS just random weirdness.

DS got bitten by his friend's dog on Saturday, so we are hoping that heals without incident.

I've been looking over our plans to see if I want to change anything, but nothing jumps out at me. So I guess we are just in a holding pattern until it's time to pack.

We will only be going over for the weekend. I was hoping for a longer stay, but we're doing a trip up to NJ May 18th-May 31st. We'll be staying at CSR Friday and Saturday night.

Newbie to forum here...but curious if anyone knows who heads the Epcot drink around the world on Sunday of gay days weekend? We are doing a Retro T dance that afternoon at Epcot and hope to coordinate. I'm Billy at letsgoplay2011.com Thanks for your help!

Hey Billy the person who heads our DATW is Sarah or better known as "Turkygurl" on the dis boards.

Hey Billy, welcome to the DIS!

For several years now, people from this section of the DIS have gotten together on the Sunday after Gayday for a Drink Around the World. We start in Mexico at noon, and travel around from there.

While a few people from the forums might be interested in your event, in general it's probably not quite the demographic you are looking for.

a) Several members of the group are straight parents who may have their children with them

b) Many of the members are either annual pass holders, or cast members. The $80 for the party is an amazing deal when you need park admission, but when you already have admission covered it becomes very expensive for a short party.

That being said, a LOT of people from here will probably be at the Riptide event, and I know a lot went to the House of Blues event last year.

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Billy, as one of the straight parents with an annual pass, I can tell you we will not be merging our event with yours.
We are going to Gay Days to be with our friends. We aren't looking for a club atmosphere. Your attendees are not looking to hang out with middle age straight people. Our gathering is in no way in competition with your events.

I get the impression that you are posting in an effort to pull our attendees to your event. Like ConcK pointed out, different demographics. I am confident that the folks looking for more of a party will find their way to you. The rest of us are happy with our current plan.

21 days!!!

And we've decided not to send the kids to school that day. They have a 1/2 day and we were going to pick them up at school and leave around noon. But instead we all sleep in, get up and go.

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

28 days for us!

I think we probably COULD have tried to leave Thursday (6/2), but too late now! DS has exams starting the Friday before Memorial Day. No school Monday, exams Tu, We, Th. But he'll get out early all of those days. AND they don't sit for exams in their Theatre classes, so some of those days he will only have one exam. Which is a pain, because he will want to go late or be picked up early. DH and I have to work, so he will likely be stuck at school.

Yayy!

So glad it turned out they didn't extend the year for the snow days, I remember that was a worry.

If I didn't have to do this pesky thing called work, I'd hop in the car today and wait at the gate 'til our trip starts
