Get together in Charlotte?

[DisNEIGH]

Fellow DIS brethren:

Do the DISboard members get together in the Charlotte area on occasion for a meet and greet? Even though I am new to the DIS I think it would be great to get together with fellow fans and get to meet people in person.

So... does it happen? If so... when, where, how often? If not, anyone else think it is a good idea?

Should I be posting this somewhere else?

Christmas in July!

Thanks!

how about Sunday?

 

[DisNEIGH]

Oops... I am responding late and via my Blackberry so I hope it works. I am in Atlanta for the weekend so Sunday is out.

BTW... I love the whole more cowbell thing.

I am up for meeting. We could meet up in a local place.

I see 43 people have read but there is only one response. I am new to the board and so I don't know what the community is like. Are people kind of freaked out by meeting in public? Are there concerns about predators, weirdos and such? I'll be honest that I joined the board to make Disney friends not to get trip planning advice, though if I find out something new... All the better.

I just think it would be nice for people with a similar passion to meet together from time to time, watch Disney movies, go on trips, etc.

Let me know about another time. I will try to check the boards more often.

Hi - I am about 35 minutes north of Charlotte and would be interested in a get together. Maybe a lunch or dinner on a weekend at one of the malls such as Northlake or Pineville? I am not familar with the city, but I do know how to get to the malls . I will subscribe to this thread to keep up with the dates and locations.

BooYAH! Sounds good to me! We could hit Harpers over at Carolina Place Mall in Pineville. Let me check with the wife and see what dates are open. Perhaps we could do it next weekend.

Harpers has great food, reasonable prices and large quantities in a great atmosphere. I'd rather be eating at Narcoose's, but for outside of WDW it works.

Plus... Their keylime pie is excellent and is a huge slab!

I am in Indian Trail, SE of Charlotte- I'd be up to meet some time. It seems like I am the only DISer I know in my neck of the woods, despite having lots of friends who like Disney as much as I do. I can't seem to talk any of them into getting hooked on the DIS!

Excellent! I actually work near Indian Trail in Monroe, NC! What a small world! I eat in Indian Trail for lunch from time to time.

Would love to have you join us for our first get together. I will keep you in the loop. Still waiting on the wife (Grumpy) to get back to me with a date.

Hi all I am gonna move this over to the DIS meets board

a place set up to plan and talk about just this type of thing

 

[DisFhan]

Hi all not sure if the meet is going to happen or not but I just added a couple days of work and now have to work sat. I could do an early lunch before 1. I would still like to get a meet up in the Charlotte area sometime soon...

 

[DisNEIGH]

But of course! (said in the voice of Lumiere)

Let me check with Grumps about the date!

We are a go for Harpers on Saturday @ 7:00 PM. Please let me know if you can make it and I will make the reservations. Please try to let me know today or tomorrow (Wednesday or Thursday).

If you can't make this get-together, there will be more! Also it doesn't take a large get-together for us to meet. Send me a message (PM) as we can always work out a get-together for a movie or food .

Let me know about Saturday!

Well I definitely would like to meet you! So let's make sure we get together when you get back. PM me and we will setup a meet.

By the way, you are a LUCKY DOG (aka Pluto)! I am so envious that you are going to WDW. I miss my home.

If not, would LOVE to meet some fellow DIS'ers - been hanging around here almost 9 years now (wow time flies!!) I live in East Charlotte, work in Southwest Charlotte.

 

[dmw@lakenorman]

disneigh & us met at Harpers (Pineville Mall) a few weekends ago for dinner. We had a good time and talked about meeting up at a restaurant at the Northlake mall (i-77, exit 18) next time since we are not in the immediate Charlotte area. Y'all interested in meeting there?

 

[DisneyMom]

Just let me know where and when!
